They all make their way to the pace crowds of people are cheering for the returning warriors in the streets its by no means an organized parade but their cheers are still sufficient to bolster their confidence.

  As they arrive at the pace they are hailed by the guards. As they dismount from the beast and servants quickly rush to take them to the stables. Once they enter the pace they see the three kings sitting on their thrones. Rex’s squads find seats among the mostly empty stands as rex moves to the front. It seems most nobles are still making their way back. “Your noble majesties i sir rexan have come back from the front lines to report to you the luutons pointless demands”

  The high king raises an eyebrow and looks down at sir rexan”and what demands are that?”

  he say sounding curious“They have given you three months to prepare tribute or they shall come back with double the forces they attacked with”

  The high king gets up an sighs”then sir rexan we have 3 months to figure out how we are going to survive this oncoming assault”

  Rex’s squad jaw drops at hearing this for the high king to show doubt in his people is unthinkable. “ your majesty surely you jest how many did the send how many vilges were attacked 2 weeks ago? 4? 6? 8 10?”

  The high king puts his hands behind his back and turns around” all 18 vilges were attacked 2 weeks ago. the luutons have an estimated force of well over a hundred thousand men on flying beast that is more than our total forces and then to say they have double is unthinkable. We astrans do no have the advantage by any means.”

  The room fall silent no one says anything gora herself is shocked to hear of such a fighting force exist. Gora stands up and heads to the king and kneels”your majesty i request to be able to head home i wish to convince my grandfather on joining this war”

  The high king turns around he smiles at gora’’ Lady grigora i happily accept your request i ask that you be swift you may take any of rexes squad that you need aide you in your travels. Id send rex if i could but i have other things i need to discuss with him”

  She nods and gets up”than i shall like to bring along secomi and utum back Doanertoffia with me i believe that i can convince my grandfather to lend his aid.”

  The high king nods”i approve rest, tonight and tomorrow you may head off back to your homend”

  Gora bows”thank you your highness ill shall do just that”

  gora then leaves the room taking utum and secomi with her.”hey why did you wanna bring us i can kinda understand utum but why did you pick me over cofus we’ve barely talked to each other”

  Gora grins and gives the two astrans a sinister look causing them to feel uneasy.”lets just say my grandfather is a hard man to convince and im gonna need a good combination wit and brawn cofus isn’t nearly as strong as utum and i doubt the boy has much going on upstairs so it was either you or Sicus. and Sicus is being weird about permanently scaring my back and i quite frankly don’t think he has much to offer me in terms of wit anyway. So really secomi the fact that we haven’t talked yet is why your coming you have simply yet to let me down”

  Gora says quite confidently and boldly in front of the astrans squad members. Secomi has a rather unamused look on his face as gora makes her decration.”what about Arvus? Didn’t want to share a tent?”

  He says rather rudely trying to stir her up.it does work though not in the way secomi had imagined. Gora winces at hearing her name gora looks to the side and scratches her cheek with her index finger looking rather mencholy”id rather not spend anymore time traveling with her especially if there’s to only be the three of us”

  Secomi and utum now both look confused”wait what?” they both say in unison.

  Gora exhales quite empathically”ya idk we just never hit it off i tried to make small talk and she kinda just blew me off”

  The astran men are quite confused to what they are hearing she had no idea she had been analyzing their conversations so thoroughly they now wonder if they had gora all wrong.”um i think shes just awkward she doesn’t really talk to anyone but Sicus and captain rex in the squad”

  Gora stands there for a moment and intensely stares at them. They get a little closer looking a little concerned”gora?”

  Utum waves his hand in front of gora who is still just intensely staring off into spare with a look of ponderance.” oh she’s just awkward ? Well dam now im stuck with you two”

  Her words hit the astrans heavily secomi especially as he feels he would’ve been the one to be repced. Gora sighs looking at the two astrans”well nothing i can do now so im going to y down I’ll see you two tomorrow save me a seat at the breakfast hall”

  They nod their heads to her and gora takes off. Wanting to spend the rest of the day by herself, she finds her way back to her room that she stayed in previously. As she opens the door shes greeted by the semi familiar room feel. exhausted gora makes little haste to lie down. Her burn have stopped hurting but they are still not fully healed.

  Gora wonders how her grandfather is doing its already been 2 months since shes seen him she never really even said goodbye, she wonders if he would be angry, she wonders if he’ll try to stop her from coming back. As she yed in the bed she pondered these thoughts as her consciousness slowly drifts away.
