I know where to find Oni.ā¦ Weāll get him back.
She looked over to Rarr, who nodded, grunted a strange word in Lycan and ran off out of the hall and out of the gates, following Jareks scent. She couldnāt wait anymore, time was getting short and the time to act was fast approachingā¦and mayhaps Rarr could help him.
Trevor, get one of your best scouts to Silent Fieldsā¦
.....::::: | :::::.....
It had been a very tiring day and at the end of it all, Scarlet found herself in her bedroom unable to sleep. The days events replayed in her head...the monks words, Gnashers outrage and now...
āTrevor, what did your scout find out.ā
āMāLady...they are mobilizing to attack us...and Iām afraid he didnāt make it back in time to tell us in person.ā
At least now Gnasher was in the biggest room she had, hopefully sleeping soundly or at least keeping himself busy without being destructive...Scarlet rubbed her temples and for a moment, rested her head in her hands. There would be no sleep tonight, not while an impending attack was on the horizon waiting for them. She had already doubled the watch and most of the townspeople who couldnāt fight had already been safely evacuated to the underground temple in the Drider forest. At least when they did attack, no innocence would be in jeopardy.
After a moment of long drawn out silence, Scarlet arose from her resting position and walked over to her desk, the cloak still draped around her ghastly form. Ribs were healed and the pain no longer hindered her, but now it seemed to move from her ribs up to her head. She opened a few drawers, and finally pulled out a map of the Vale. She laid it out before her and took a quill and some red ink and began outlining a plan of defense. A werewolf, stepped in carrying a small cup of tea and for a moment she thought it was Rarr and looked behind him for Jarek...Alas, it wasnāt and she sighed deeply, taking the cup from the servant and scratching him inbetween his ears. She looked down in the cup and saw flecks of dirt and herbs floating in it...it made her half smile and she turned to the beast.
āLooks like Iāll have to have Rarr teach you to properly make tea...ā
The servant said nothing...he wasnāt anything like Rarr in intelligence and she was working on that. Little by little, one by one, they would all be like Rarr one day. She waved him off and turned her attention back to the map. This night was going to be a long one.
āBefore you go back to your watch, find Trevor for me. I know he might be asleep, but wake him anyway. I have a feeling rest isnāt going to be the only thing going on tonight...ā
