“Wait a second!” Ciana’s eyes grew wide open as she gasped, “So the real artifact of our pack is not the Feather of Justice?!”

“Correct,” I confirmed.

Ciana jumped down from a low branch of a cherry tree, in her arms were some freshly picked, luscious, red fruit. She dropped the large heart-shaped cherries on the picnic blanket and sat down next to me.

“I need a moment to process this,” she frowned, digesting the new knowledge as she popped a cherry in her mouth. “…Um…um, Mom, you have to pack those. They are so sweet! Especially since they’re hand-picked by your lovely daughter. They will remind you to miss me on your trip!”

Tomorrow was the anniversary for Soren and I. Not our wedding anniversary, but the first time we met. We usually went on a trip just the two of us, but before we were on our way, we always made sure to spend some time with Ciana in our vacation home at the edge of our packland.

“Thanks, honey. I will,” I smiled as Ciana shoved one cherry against my lips.

“Mom, but…why?”

“Huh?”

“The artifact,” she reminded me. Oh, right. She pulled me back on our topic. “Does it mean that our Alvar pack has no artifact at all, and we’ve been lying to our people?!”

“While we will never intentionally hurt others, the reality is there are people who always want more strength, wealth, influence, you name it. Driven by greed, those people aren’t afraid to harm others for their own benefit.”

“So, you and Dad decided to lie to the entire pack?”

“Ciana, think about this. What use is the artifact other than being taken out and shown to the pack during routine ceremonies?”
