Months had passed\u00a0since the Battle of Harable Valley and the spring planting season faded into the wonderful summer\u00a0growing season. The land progressed in its healing and would soon be returned to its former state. As he\u00a0turned from the window, he thought about the things that hadn\u2019t healed\u2026the twins. Brandan and\u00a0Joachim still had a long way to go to erase the darkness that infected them. Joachim seemed better, but\u00a0at night he still dreamed of Sidramah, and the doubts about what happened still haunted him.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Brandan\u00a0appeared even further from the boy that left to find his brother.
