After a decent night’s sleep with my wives, I geared up and prepared to venture out to the ruins of the North. Santana prepared a map to help guide our way there, which she presented to myself, Alorion and the rest of my wives in the Map Room.

‘The homestead is not far,’ she said as the blue grid on the stone table came to life. She placed her hand on the tablet at the head of the table, then uploaded her map as an overlay onto our current understanding of the lay of the land. ‘The ruins are just a few miles north of the homestead. They reside in a patch of dense forest – it shouldn’t be too hard to get there. Just follow this trail…’

She traced her finger along the blue grid, following the line that she had drawn on the handmade map.

‘We could just head north-west of our land, couldn’t we?’ I suggested. ‘Wouldn’t that lead us to our destination faster?’

‘If you stayed on the right track,’ she replied. ‘But like I said, the forest becomes dense and untamed out there. I only know this way, and the homestead is a reasonable point at which to rest.’

‘Good point,’ I agreed. ‘Now, we’re going to keep numbers low just while we check this place out. This is the last challenge and we don’t know how dangerous it’s going to be. Ariadne, Talia, you’re coming with me. Everyone else, stay on alert here and keep an eye out for any threats. We’ll make it back as quickly as we can.’

For once, my closest advisors were all in agreement. Even if we knew that we had the upper hand with regards to the location of the final challenge – and likely the agrarium itself – we had to act quickly.

The forests were dangerous, and I couldn’t risk an attack. We had already sustained one in the last ten days and lost one of our people to it.

I couldn’t let that happen again.

Less than an hour later I headed out into the wilds of the snowy forest with Ariadne and Talia. We travelled along the north-western trail that led to the Rourke Homestead, arriving before midday at the gate of the outer perimeter.

Jeremiah and Lola left their house and approached the gate with weapons raised, but upon laying eyes on us quickly lowered them.

‘Master Jack,’ Jeremiah said, unlocking the gate and letting us in, ‘a pleasant surprise. How are things?’

‘Dangerous,’ I smiled. ‘How are things here?’

‘Running well. The livestock are holding up in the cold.’

‘And you two?’

‘We have the furnace to keep us warm. Food stores are building up nicely.’

Ariadne and Lola embraced quickly upon the gate opening, pressing their foreheads to each other’s briefly in a brief show of affection before withdrawing from each other. It was a motion that I had seen them pull on certain occasions when they had been apart for some time.

We had found Lola on a research expedition out in the Black Patch, the remote area of dangerous marshland downriver from Ichabod’s Cove.
