Until he knows how this works, it was useless to him. Packing up, he headed home and poured the fish into his pond. He checked the water to make sure that it was still clean. He cannot afford to be changing the water from zero to the top.
Maybe he was going to install a filtration system, but that will be for another day. It was already dark and the temperature was dropping fast. Alec put the metal bucket inside his corridor and headed inside. He increased the flame of his fireplace with three logs of firewood and sat directly in front of it.
He stood there for a long time, as his mind was far away from the village. He was thinking about the message from his father. Up till now, he had no reason why his father had suddenly decided to invite him home. Alec and his father have never talked like father and son, not even when his mum was still with them.
