T.D.o.N.B: The prelude to a stupid idea

I thought that persuading Celestine to stay with our kids and John was going to be hard, but she actually offered to do that on her own. There was unfortunately something else she proposed. She wanted me to assist until they would shape proper living conditions, which put me in an awkward spot.

After all, I had different plans. Fortunately, I somehow managed to persuade her that my hunting in Loistavadvaar is a better idea. After all, I always could pop in and bring them supplies.

The negotiations evolved then, and they stopped at me delivering a crystal from Loistavadvaar so they could have a headstart. Until I got one, they were supposed to be left on their own.

In such a way I was left by myself in Arc.
