1569. Pieces Coming Together

Without any warning, Walker felt someone sit next to him and a head fall on his shoulder. 

As he looked over, a sleepy eyed Alice was leaning on him while Onyx was slithering up next to him. Aurora was still wrapped around Alice's arm asleep which seemed to be the best place for her to rest. 

"You are both awake!" Walker was very happy. With the book, or journal, in his hands, he nearly lept up to show them what he had found. But when he realized that Alice was making herself comfortable his heart skipped a beat and he controlled himself a little more. "You three have to hear what I just read." 

"Brother, have you been waiting for us for long?" Onyx tried to figure out if Walker had been waiting for them the entire time that they were training. He felt bad that they had remained asleep even after the sun had risen.
