[Filter: Valerie Winter, Garland, Mea, Jackson, Aidan Valhalla, Lysander]I'm going back to Valhalla for the Narga tome. It can't be anybody else, it has to be me, so don't try to talk me out of it ( Read more... )

[Filter: Private]

Should be there in a few more hours, barring any more attacks from vicious scorpions. Where are you?

[Filter: Garland, Mea, and Jackson]

[Filter: Mea, Garland, and... Jackson, I think you said your name was?]
We're heading out tomorrow to meet up with some friends of mine. It'll take awhile to get there, but we need to keep moving. Under no circumstances are any of you to speak to anyone about the route we're taking or where we're going, and you will keep off the main roads,

Hmm. Valhalla's been fairly quiet lately. I think I'm in shock.

I can't get my hopes up. There's always the possibility that it's a lie, that he's an imposter.

But if he is Chris' son...
