The Journey: A Custodes Noctis Story - Plot & Excerpts
As Custodes Noctis it was his right and duty to send his brother to the Other World when mortally wounded. Rob knew that he would die shortly after, it was the way of the Custodes Noctis: the psychic bond they shared could not bear the break for long and the surviving brother would die—sometimes living long enough to avenge their brother’s death, but no more. The hereditary swords would be passed to the next generation and the line would continue. Rob hadn’t lived long enough to have been given care of one of the family’s swords—that came after he was fully trained. The fact he wasn’t old enough to have finished his training didn’t change the fact he was still Custodes Noctis and Tradition dictated his rights. He had the Gift of Sight as all younger brothers of the Custodes Noctis, in fact it was that Sight that had let him know when he was six that he and his brother would never serve together as Keepers. When the moment came for Galen to die, Rob had been prepared. He gently stopped Galen’s heart and then followed his brother into the glittering lake filled with song, the gateway to the Other World.
