"You did what!?"
Halt stared furiously at Will. Halt, normally so brooding and serious, looked to Will like he was going insane. "You let the book get out to the public?!"
Will had, earlier that season, published a book about the ways and secrets of the Ranger Corps to the the corps library in honour of the first girl to join them. Now, it seemed, it had somehow gotten out into the public.
"All of our ways, all of our secrets that we've been building up for centuries, and you've ruined them!", Halt said, (even though he was seething, Halt never yelled) turning around and walking into the next room of his office. "Our enemies will know our ways, they'll know how to defeat us!"
Will ran to keep up with the grizzled former ranger. Halt whipped around and came nose to nose with Will, and Will saw Halt's golden oak leaf necklace, glinting at him. He's still unhappy that Crowley retired him, he thought. "This may be your biggest blunder yet." Halt said. Will started to say something, but Halt cut him off before he had the chance. "I suggest you go and bring it back now."
Will walked away, thinking as he walked back down the stairs from Halt's office, out of the castle and back towards the village.
