"You are aware of the conquences?" A quiet voice spoke from behind me. Sparing him a glance I answered his inqury with a sharp nod.

"I am - what of it?" My company feel silent, as he should. It was not his place to question me. I was more than aware of the so-called conqunces than he belived I was. After all: this was my idea.

"Forgive me, but I do not see the method within this utter madness"

"Madness? Is it madness to want peace?" I shot back, watching with mild amusment as he squirmed where he stood. "No, it's not" He replied not meeting my gaze.

"Well then: you know what you have do?" He nodded. "See to it that it is done quickly: we don't know what damage could be done in a short space of time" We silent for a moment.

"Will you be alright?" He asked suddenly, raising a brow at him, he continued. "What needs to done requires alot of energy..."

"Your point?"

"Nevermind" I gave him a brisk nod as he chose wisely to let that certain matter slide. "Shall gather the others?"

"Take who you think will be most benefical: you will depart tomorrow morning"

"Of course" He turned to leave but stopped when I spoke.

"You will be careful, won't you?" I asked softly, as he spun round to face me with a smile on his face.

"Yes Father, I will"
