Northern raised a brow.
"Hidden Daggers?"
"It's an infamous name for the twins back in the Central Plains."
"I see..."
'They were infamous... I did think them to be dangerous.'
Northern sighed and said to Raven.
"I didn't go to any citadel. I met Rughsbourgh the day I went for my talent evaluation test. And the next two days, I was in the academy, a couple of minutes later in the rift. My parents didn't really teach me anything about rifts. The plan was that I would learn all that needed to be learned in the academy."
His voice grew somber for a bit.
"I wonder if they know I'm not in the academy right now. My mother must be so worried. My father too, he might be a crackhead but he's an amazing man..."
Northern raised his head, only to see Raven's eyes widened. Terence was wiping a tear away from her eyes.
"That was so touching, oh bless Ul, you have a story to tell too."
