Had we known where this vision would take us when we started, I don't know that we'd have had the courage to follow it. The Oracle was kind, in her way .
. .
—Document fragment, discovered in the east tower of the Orëska House Chapter 27
That first winter with Kaulin and Wythnir passed quietly. Mail arrived regularly from Tobin and Ki, and from Iya, who now divided her time between her travels and more frequent visits to the city. A few oblique remarks made it clear that she had found allies in Ero, wizards who would be of more use staying where they were than joining him.
The boys wrote of court life, and in Tobin's Arkoniel discovered a dark thread of worry and discontent. Korin was carousing more, the king was changeable in his moods, and the older boys were treating Tobin and the other younger ones like children.
In contrast, Ki reported happily on parties and various girls who were showing interest in them. Arkoniel guessed that Tobin was less pleased with the latter; he said nothing about girls at all, except to report that one whom he'd been friends with had disappeared under mysterious circumstances. He was vague on the details, but Arkoniel was left with the unsettling impression that Tobin thought her murdered.
As winter closed in once more, Arkoniel divided his own attentions between his new guests and the workroom. Kaulin was not much interested in Arkoniel's
"indoor magic," as he called it, preferring to wander in the forest in all weathers. Once he'd settled in, he'd proven something of a grumbler, and Arkoniel was content to have the fellow to himself.
Arkoniel was somewhat perplexed by Kaulin's neglect of Wythrin. He wasn't really unkind to the child, but frequently went off without him, leaving him in Nari's care like an ordinary child in need of a nurse.
Arkoniel remarked on this one morning as Nari bustled about his workroom with her dust rag.
"That's all right," she said. "I'm glad to have a child under this roof again.
And Maker knows, the poor little thing can do with some coddling. He's hardly out of clouts, wizard-born or not, and hasn't got a soul to care about him."

Arkoniel caught something sharp in her tone. Setting his half-finished journal aside on the writing table, he turned in his chair and laced his fingers around one up-drawn knee. "Kaulin does neglect him a bit, I suppose. The child seemed well enough when they arrived here, though."
"He wasn't starved, I'll grant you, but you've seen how Kaulin is with the child. He hardly has a kind word for him, when he can be bothered to speak to him at all. But what can you expect, eh? Kaulin only took the boy on to repay a debt."
"How do you know that?"
"Why, Wythnir told me," Nari said, and Arkoniel caught her smug little smile as she went to work on the windows.
