The group had entered Latveria the day prior, moving with the gypsies until they reached the main Zefiro encampment. Almost instantly, Victor had been whisked away into reunions with his people, friends and comrades who seemed relieved to see him safe and home once more. A few of the older folk gave the boy with his high-minded ideals a wary eye. To those who only knew Victor from his American education, the scene must have seemed so strange--the stoic man embracing friends, being downright conversational.
Still, even as he lacked in time for his schoolmates, he made sure that they were well taken care of. Places were set up in camp for the group that were warm and dry, which was crucial in the bitter winter cold.
As the sun rose over the camp that day, Victor knew that everything was in unstoppable motion now. There were mere days, mere hours, standing between him and his destiny.
