Ch 21: The Fog of War

With eyebrow raised Myth watched the exchange with the armored knight with Nol and the others. When Kellan revealed herself Myth managed a slight smile happy to know the woman was in fact not dead. This explained what Nol had been up to in his absense. He probably came across Kellan and saved her life. He would certainly thank the silver later. Greetings were made and the elven prince's attetntions shifted elsewhere.

Hebegan to survey the battlefield shortly after Rayann vanished from sight with their daughter. The towers were toppled and the dark ones army routed. They had won the battle but at a heavy cost to all who were invilved. For Myth it was the loss of his kinsman and the near loss of his daughter that weighed heavily upon his mind. He looked to his friends and began the trek back to Heartlund Keep. Even from where he stood he could see the concerned eyes of the knights. While he wanted to join his wife in caring for Kali he had a duty to his people. He called for Aeolis to assemble what was left of the rangers while he sought to the gathering of those men left inside the keep.

The trip back to Syvanost would be a difficult one, but it was his duty to report the losses to the high council and the Speaker. He hoped that the men inside faired better than the rangers who had been in the forest.
