Our second journey with our military academy students, pirates, and the mysterious old man turned out to be as action-packed as the first trek, and we grow fonder of them the longer we spend with them.
Grayden endears himself to us further as he finds himself pulled beyond what any first-year student should expect to face. However, he does it without even thinking because it’s his protective nature, to do whatever necessary to defend those around him. And once again we see several particularly attractive attributes of Grayden resurface, including the ability to create comradery in the midst of discord, to take charge of a team in crisis, and see the strengths that each person brings to the table even in the most difficult of situations. And it’s not just Grayden. We get to meet other students from the academy in this second trek and the fight they’re now plunged into is nothing short of terrifying.
Captain Marik remains a favorite, and we see more of his heart as the journey continues. He treats his crew like family, and there’s a mutual fondness between the group. The horrifying scene he witnesses with Dalmir reminds him of the importance of keeping that family safe and a world beyond those he calls family. He knows what it’s like to helplessly stand aside and do nothing when everything screams to intervene. He has felt the regret that came later and remained long after the moment passed. He vows he won’t be that person again. If unchecked, he knows this evil he has glimpsed can destroy everything and everyone dear to him.
But he’s not the only one. The mysterious wizard Dalmir has his own burden of guilt. That the enemy could have done so much under his nose is unforgiveable. Dalmir was supposed to be the guardian, the watcher to make sure the enemy’s power remained shackled, and he had failed miserably in that sacred duty. He had watched, but he had locked in on the wrong thing. He hadn’t seen the deadly forest created for focusing on the single tree. So now determined to redeem himself, he promises himself he’ll do whatever is necessary to stop what’s been put into motion. And he’ll need to as the enemy’s horrific world comes closer to fruition and threatens to swallow up everyone in his path.
