Alm and Bruno sighed in sync with his conclusion. Another missionary was too close. Well, Kaiyka and Mihkriel are in such a bad state that they can't be called missionaries anymore; the whale is the only one still existing and operational.
Some missionaries, using the techniques and benefits they received, must have devised ways to return. Now they knew there were fallen missionaries and other ancient races waiting for them; several potential allies might be nearby, just waiting to be found. Now they didn't need to worry about Kaiyka's loyalty anymore; just find that inheritance and they gained a great ally for the future.
The whale turned to Kaiyka; she was stunned and a bit angry at their abrupt invasion. They decided not to tell the truth now; it was too surreal to find out it was her own grandmother, and the cause of all the suffering she had gone through in this life was her own fault in the past. After receiving the inheritance, it should be easier to accept.
