We could not get going right away, the caravan needed to be fixed and the horses looked at. The dead were piled by the side of the road, waiting for the local Villnius troops to come pick them up in the morning.

We regrouped, and I took a short rest as the girls stood around me. Saya fussed over my wounds. Olivia just stood by us, looking at the damage she’d done. She was shaking.

She felt guilty she had not cleared the caravan completely and the destruction all around was plain to see. I wanted to comfort her but she was in her own little world.

Azrael folded her arms observing the three of us. “The Anatheid’s enemies grow,” she said. “We must become more powerful.”

“Yes,” Saya replied. “We all know what you're thinking Azrael. We heard what you said about another firebound.”

Azrael smiled.

“Yes, that would be one way. But there are others. We must train. Together. Olvia and the master worked better together today. But it shouldn’t just be us individually teaming up with the master. The four of us need to become a fighting force. The Dark Queen is already moving fast. If we cannot secure the help of the north, we will need to fight this battle alone.”

Alone? Is that even possible?

“I would not think you need to be alone,” said Baldr. Beside him was his brother, Lord Blackwell, who was shaken but still alive.

So Saya was wrong, he cares enough to leave his armored cage.

“You should not be out of the carriage, sir!” one of his bodyguards exclaimed but the lord waved him away.

Baldr only stared at his brother, awaiting his word.

“Daniel, I thank you, truly. And all of you,” Lord Blackwell said, his gaze passing over Olivia who bowed her head ever so slightly. “I have now seen with my very own eyes what is going on out here…. I… must consider this. But know that I will not stand for this, not here on the king’s land.”

“Did Jaina speak with you?” I asked, looking him in the eyes.

“She did,” he replied evenly. “Though the matter of what she said is private. I am aware of your concerns, Daniel, and hers. There is no disputing that the dark elves have attacked us, and that some of the villagers collaborated. How and why, those are the questions we cannot rush to gain answers to. Again, for now, I have come to thank you.”

I bit my lip. He was avoiding saying anything about the Queen, or about my fears that we had a traitor in our midst. But he was acknowledging the threat. It was progress of a kind.

I bowed low. “It is an honor to serve.”

The lord bowed his head in response, though not as low as mine. Then he turned and with his retinue headed back to his carriage. Baldr gave me a nod. Then continued on with his brother.
