Clearly, the young Paladin was eager to prove himself in battle. Tirion was glad that the youth stayed away. He was disgusted with Barthilas and didn’t even want to see his face.

Tirion was in a grim mood. He had slept little during the night, and woke with his guts tied in knots. He wished that he could somehow warn Eitrigg so that the old orc could evade capture. But Tirion knew that, even if he could warn the orc, his actions would betray his superior’s direct order. He knew that there was no way to uphold his vow and do his duty at the same time. His precious honor was in great peril.

They rode for hours up into the mountains as Tirion led the way. He knew exactly where he was going.

Before long the broken tower’s remaining walls could be seen through the trees. Dathrohan leaned in and asked Tirion if it was the tower they sought.

“That is where I first encountered the orc, milord,” Tirion said in a quiet voice.

Dathrohan nodded, sensing Tirion’s apprehension. “Are you certain, Tirion? You seem rather pensive this morning.”

“I am certain, milord,” Tirion replied huskily. “I’m fine. I’m just a tad tired, is all.”

Dathrohan patted his shoulder reassuringly. The Lord Commander motioned for his men to take up positions along the road. He then called for a number of guards to come to the front of the column.

Arden was among those who came forward. The captain smiled up at Tirion, but the Paladin didn’t feel like smiling at all. Tirion shuddered as two of the guards pulled a makeshift wagon-cage behind them. The rickety cage was designed to hold and transport a small number of prisoners over long distances. He fervently hoped that it would stay empty.

Dathrohan, feeling that stealth would be wise until they confirmed that there were numerous orcs in the area, ordered his men to remain behind as he and a small group moved in on the lonely tower.

Barthilas, with a fiery enthusiasm, rode eagerly behind the Lord Commander. Tirion, Arden and six footmen continued up the path after them.

The clearing around the tower was quiet, but the footmen moved quietly enough despite their cumbersome armor and weapons. Following the instructions he had been given earlier, Arden commanded his guards to encircle the tower. Barthilas dismounted and retrieved his warhammer from its saddle-loop. Escorted by two footmen, Barthilas cautiously made his way to the tower’s entrance.
