Eargon looked over the blood spattered city of Feinster, bodies piled up on every corner waiting for Varden workers to bury them.
"Sapharia, Go to Lady Leona and we can discuss the terms of the Varden saying in Fenister."
Sapharia glided quickly over the city again showing the destruction of the battle. Quickly she arrived and hovered over the Lady's tower. With the speed and balance of an elf Eargon leapt off Saphria's back rolled and stood and made himself presentable for royalty.
"My lady I have come to discuss the terms of the Varden remaining in Feinster."
"Ah Eargon I have been waiting to see you. Yes I know full well that the Varden will want to take most of our resources leave us in total disarray and leave to save the world from the evil king Galbortaix."
"Well Yes, and no. We do want to take some of your resources and we do want to kill Galbortaix however The Varden would like to give you something in return."
"And what could possibly amount for such an amount of resources? Oh, and I assume you will want the people to no longer take the aid of the Empire and provide solely on the clearly limited man power you have left the city with."
" Ah my lady you have left one very simple solution. The Varden would like to give you 30,000 of the 100,000 Varden to replenish your lost fighters and provide the man power you need."
"30,000 more citizens! This would make me the leader of one of the most prominent cities in the entire empire. Of course we will accept your very large offer."
"Many thanks my lady"
"One last thing Eargon, the elves contacted me and requested that you join them for the burial of ormious and Glader ."
"Many thanks for myself and the leaders of the Varden."
"Sapharia!" Eargon projected with his mind.
"Calm yourself young one and tell me what you need."
