He wasn’t sure why Freya wanted his help when she had a familia better, bigger, and more influential than his own. He was not, however, going to complain. His dear Freya wanted his help! He obviously could help her with something that was bothering her, so he would.
And that was the only reason he was going to do it for until he found the girl Freya wanted to remove from Hest...

To my surprise, the body that had been in talks with Alexandria died. The last bits of information that I received from the nanites that made up that unit reported “rapid degeneration of atom to atom bonds.” It sounded suspiciously like one of Bakuda’s bombs… and then I remembered that Bakuda, who should have been here in Brockton Bay, never got sighted.

The enemy could not have landed anywhere but the southwest; David II might be relatively flat, but flat did not equate to dropship-compatible landing zones. Between the rolling hills, swamps, marshes, and sandy desert, the southwest was the only real clear landing zone with its forests, river valleys, and overall flatter terrain.

When the duo returned the next day, they brought with them the item they said they had. And seeing it move from their hands and onto her worktable, she saw that, yes, they did indeed have minotaur horns on hand.
