The Ferryman's Apprentice: Part Two: 2

Wilom hadnt expected to be going back.Suspected perhaps but suspected and expected are two very different things. Just like he suspected that the living world was in turmoil but he didnt expect to get so involved in it. He suspected that hed have trouble finding his feet but he didnt expect to be this out of his depth. And he suspected that the ferrymans apprenticeship had some hidden caveats but he never expected theyd include - for want of a better word - magic.Hes never gotten on well with obligations but for the first time hes starting to feel a sense of responsibility. His new housemates would probably respect that except that if they really knew what he was doing with his spare time theyd probably kick him out. His new bosses certainly appreciate it but Wilom cant help but feel hes working around them rather than for them. Not being able to just ignore what everyone thinks of him is harder than it seemed on the River.Still at least hes got Vanda to talk to.
