"So, what are we gonna do?" Leeli asked after a weird moment of silence.

Janner shrugged. "Well, I know I'm not going anywhere," He looked at his leg. "But that shouldn't stop everyone else."

"Well, if you're not going, then neither am I." Sara stated.

Janner smiled at her. "But, what are you guys-or girls, in this case-going to do?"

"Well, we could leave the room." Leeli said.

Nia nodded her head. "I agree."

"So do I. But, we would have to leave Madya here with Janner and Sara." Arundelle said.

Madaya turned to Janner.

"That's fine." Sara said.

And so the women prepared to go scouting.


"I don't see any Fangs." Kalmar said quietly.

"Neither do I. They must have set up a camp somewhere, and returned to it." Artham stated.

"But what about the people?" Kalmar said, worried.

Gammon sighed. "Lad, I don't think you should be thinking about the Annierans, even though it is a selfless act. You should think about your familys safety, and once that is secure, then think about your subjects."

Kalmar nodded his head sadly.

Then a loud roar was heard in the distance.

"A troll!" Maraly yelled.
