Nana patted the hands of Circe, "If he has truly lost his memories, then with his abilities, we must do what we can to rope him to your cause."
Circe muttered, "If not for this damned calamity, with the family's information network, I would have his presence on every known world searched to determine his origins. I would like to know the exact nature of who we are working with."
"Well in a month's time, we should be able to do that." Nana said, "Something tells me there is more to meet the eyes with this one." Nana looked at the hologram of Rowan, her eyes were deep as she absently stroked the scars on her waist.
Circe nodded, and they began speaking about other things in preparation for the upcoming meeting, then she paused, "I saw you made Trevor his driver? Why did you do that? At this time, we needed him the most."
"Information my dear. Trevor can be many things, but he is blunt and has a peculiar ability to read a man's heart. His attitude towards Trevor and his family would go a long way in understanding how to deal with him."
"He's not dumb, Nana, he would understand the purpose of you giving him such a Navigator."
"It doesn't matter whether he knows of my intentions or not, I only care about his responses."
"Okay. About…"

As Rowan senses swept through the books here, his excitement began to grow. The patches in his memory had been a constant thorn in his side.
He was sure that he had missed opportunities, and made many mistakes because of ignorance about the world, and Circe had made an effort to select books that he urgently needed from just a single conversation he had made with her.
His mind switched to the older women he met—Nana, he doubted Circe had the time to put all these together, then it must be her. She must have been given a briefing from their conversation and from that alone, she prepared all of this.
She was the true backbone of this convoy. That was good to know. He knew of no one here who could overpower him physically, the thing he had to watch out for was the hidden machinations they would surely play. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Rowan was not ignorant of the way of the world, he expected hidden eyes on him, but with the calamity he brought on this planet, he could not sit back and watch it all play out without doing the least to ease the suffering he had partly caused.
His rate of growth was astonishing, and he was not afraid of a direct battle, only hidden blades. He began calling up various countermeasures inside his head as he began making plans for the various emergencies that could arise.
Including the arrival of his enemies from the Nexus he just escaped from. How much longer did he have before he was traced here? Whenever that might be, however, he was determined to surprise them and this time when he drew blood it would be permanent!
Augustus, Father, Lamia, Mystery goddess. It would not be too long for our rematch.
Rowan placed his thoughts away from those matters, and found a plush looking chair to sit down on. What determined that for him was structural integrity.
When he was comfortable, he drew the first book into his hands with Telekinesis and floated it in front of him, continued doing that until he had seven books in front of him, and then simultaneously all of them opened their cover.
He split his mind into seven strands and began consuming the knowledge in front of him. The pages of the books began flipping faster with every passing second."
Rowan slipped into the habit of the prince and lost himself, but with his new alacrity of Spirit and his ability to separate his consciousness into many strands, he could read at a much faster pace.
