After his departure, the sapients he came to know on the wolven moon are left guessing as to what needs to be done next. The Parents, the supposedly all-knowing, all-powerful beings controlling the Galaxias, have a plan, one known only to them , but requiring all sapient effort. It's becoming more and more suspicious, and Scipio, a young wolf on a diplomatic mission to Khemia, starts to wonder if these Parents really do hold all the answers.
