Now.
Each name Malik recited in reference to his life time resonated with Markos. They were similar yet so different. The Wolf and Sceptre being Louvels stuck out to him. It was difficult when or when the time lines occurred. Emilio and General Marcius Arand were his own foster family, and Apoline was of importance in both. He was unable to discern if Vladimars's Apoline and the one in Malik's recollection were the same age. But the importance of Sintija and the arrowhead were the same.
Even some of what caught Caelyn's attention for Markos's recruitment and what happened during Malik's proving were similar. Markos had been alone. Malik had performed his ritual before all within the kingdom and beneath the watchful eyes of the Pillar. Malik's father among them. Malik was tied to his childhood friend Charlotte and Markos to Josephina.
Isobella and Krista look identical from Malik's point of view. Is it because Krista and Isobella were actually related as the family names implied?
