Sileas pursed her lips. "I don't know that it will be as easy as you think. Yes, she misses you and she knows that wasn't you for those two years. But she will still need to ...you will need to earn her trust again. Her heart was broken."

"We all know that, Uncle Nelek. She will know that in her mind, but her heart...her heart is going to remind her brain about it. I suppose the best way to put it is it will be just like starting over."

"Still, it's going to be easier than trying to regain Millie's trust." Sileas frowned, she hadn't meant to bring that up. "Because of feeling abandoned, that is."

"It slipped out. I didn't intend to go into this yet, not until you were stronger." But she could see the determination in his eyes. Sileas sighed. "He beat her. Badly. Millie said he actually said he intended to kill her."

Sileas paled. "No, he didn't harm them." She bit her lower lip. "The village was raided. Aunt Aislyn and the children had moved into the inn and there was a fire."

Sileas's eyes welled with tears. "Aunt Aislyn, Millie and Lek tried to get them out but they were not able to. The fire spread very quickly from what I was told."

Juniper shrugged with a half smile and continued walking. "Possibly? Let's make it back to shore and get moving. I don't like the feeling of this island. " She trekked on through the thick jungle.

Questa was ready to leave as soon as they arrived. She did not want to fight with mermen, just grabbing Nelek and leaving was fine by her. She headed for the shore.
