Two days after arriving at Armhands' headquarters, Minos had already spent enough time with Segiel to make up for his long absence over the last few years. They still had a lot to talk about and do together, but these few days were enough to kill the longing.
Minos and his family—those who were in Oqia, at least—took advantage of these two days to talk, review some issues and understand each other's situation in recent years and going forward.
Minos' future was certain, and no one doubted it. No one needed to talk or ask questions to imagine that he wouldn't be available for long and that he would enter the Upper Realm sooner or later.
That's what his relatives knew for sure.
What was uncertain was what each of them would do from now on. Would they have immediate access to the Upper Realm when Minos succeeded them? What would the qualitative advance be like for those of the same lineage as him? What could they choose and what would they have to live with, whether they liked it?
