Redsand Canyon Demons

The stranger's call had already had him leaving his patrol and heading in that direction. But it was the imperator's call for his wife that put speed in his steps. Who knew what was happening on the borders; something potentially dangerous if Aquene had been summoned. He wasn't about to let her be there without his presence. He trusted the imperator to keep her safe, of course, but the driving need to protect was almost unbearable right now. He couldn't ignore it. 

When he arrived, he found Germanicus leading the kinfolk woman into the canyon. She didn't seem visibly harmed, at least not from a distance. So he wondered why his wife had been called. He paused near Arsenio and greeted him with a stiff nod. Then he trotted after the imperator; the scutarious assumed they were headed for the tablinum—so he was too.
