"Firebrand, we have come with a proposal. My father, the king Santanara, has approved my idea to enter Kanmorhan Vane, the wood you called Blackveil. Within the month, my tiendan, with my sister at its head, will depart for Kanmorhan Vane. Sacoridia, of course, will have some interest in this, and I have come to make an offer. You may send some of your people to accompany us." Zachary tilted his head to the side pensively. "It is not necessary to reply at this exact time. You may have what time you need to consider it."

"Then I shall take that," Zachary replied. "I shall perhaps have my answer on the morrow, Prince Jametari. Though you know my thoughts on this matter."

Jametari nodded respectfully as his company bowed. "Then we shall see you on the morrow, Firebrand." The Eletians left, heading for their encampment outside of the city walls.

Zachary turned to Colin Dovekey. "Gather my advisors. Captain Mapstone and General Harborough, too. Karigan, if you would stay." Karigan smiled, having no intention to go anywhere.

I know, it is short, but they will get much longer, I promise.
