That evening, after eating and putting the children to bed, Yozef, Maera, and Anarynd sat on the veranda of their house. It was a clear evening, and they could make out distant lights from Orosz City as they looked down the cleft in the mountains north of the capital. As Orosz City grew, the evening’s visible lights seemed to increase monthly.

“How worried are you about this, Yozef?” asked Anarynd.

“I can’t say that I’m worried. More concerned. After everything that’s happened to me in the last few years, my criteria for what to worry about has definitely changed, compared to my earlier life.”

“So, you don’t think this is serious? Maybe this person who you think is the Narthani spy is the only one?”

“I’d be surprised if that were the case. The fact that this Wyntal man lived such a quiet life, removed from any people or places where he might get information important to the Narthani, makes me think there must be more. Maybe many more.”

“In a way I wish you hadn’t told me,” said Anarynd. “Now I might wonder if everyone I meet could be a Narthani spy.”

“I know, Anarynd, but I want to be honest with you about what’s happening. Maera and I are at the center of it, but you’re an important part of our lives. You need to know as much as we can tell you. You’re also the informal regent for Odysius. I know you prefer to leave Moreland Clan affairs to Abbot Abelard, but I respect the effort you make to learn more and be aware of events.”

Anarynd leaned aside and patted Yozef’s leg. “Thank you, and I’m all right with the things the two of you can’t share with me.”
