"When are you, Undonna, and Nick leaving?" Catalina said before she took a sip of her tea.
"Soon. My son wanted to make sure that we understand the basics before we leave," Leanbow said.
"You mean that he wanted to make sure that you don't crash into anything," She said.
"I think I can handle one motorcycle. Undonna is the one that I am worried about."
She snorted into her cup and Daggeron laughed. Oh, they knew better. They witnessed Leanbow almost crashing into a tree. It was amusing after the fact. They will probably laugh about it years later.
"I am sure that everything will be fine when the time comes," Daggeron said.
Leanbow nodded his head.
"It seemed the integration is coming along nicely. It has surprised me. I thought that there would be more conflict among the two realms," Snow Prince said.
"Monsters might have something to do with it. Despite the Master's plans, it may have turned out to be a good thing," Daggeron said.
"It also helped that the Mystics are present," She added.
"Truly," Daggeron said with a nod.
"While I away, are you planning to continue Chip's training?" Leanbow asked.
"Of course. Aren't you?" She asked.
She wished that Leanbow would have more faith in Chip. It would make her work a lot easier when the trails approach.
"We are done, Catalina. There is no need for this."
"For now. For now, there is peace but what about tomorrow or the next?"
"Have you seen something?"
She watched her brothers' body language starting to shift. She hasn't seen anything but she had an impression and it wasn't a good one.
"No."
"Then there is nothing to worry about."
"We still have the Huntsmen and we have no idea what the Master left behind," Daggeron added.
"I didn't say that the dangers have passed. I don't know if Nick is interesting in continuing his training. He was stubborn and willful through the entire progress," Leanbow said.
"I wondered where he got that from," She said with a smile.
Leanbow gave her a look.
"Would you like recommendation, Brother? It is called talking."
"I will….after we meet with his adopted parents," Leanbow said with a sigh.
She glanced over at Daggeron and Daggeron glanced back. They knew that Leanbow and Undonna were stressing over the visit.
"If Nick doesn't wish to continue his training, are you planning to take on another?" Snow Prince asked.
"No or at least, not a moment," Leanbow said with the shake of his head.
"Catalina seemed have taken Chip under her wing. What about you, Daggeron?" Snow Prince said.
Daggeron shook his head no. She felt herself sighing.
"That leaves only one or perhaps two for the next generation of knights. Our order is dying. Are we going to do nothing?" She said angrily.
"No, Catalina. We aren't. This is a time of recovery. Once we have finished healing the realms, we can focus our thoughts into recovering our Order. Do we agree?" Leanbow said.
She looked at the faces of her brothers. She could see how tired they were. But this…
"Agreed," Daggeron said.
This didn't feel like a beginning.
"Agreed," Snow Prince said.
This felt like the end.

Nick and Chip turned to each other.
"We are going to need to talk before I go," Nick said.
