Hanging in there

            After asking around for a couple of minutes while he was selecting the soldiers that would go with him, Zaos realized that all soldiers were looking forward to the next fight. Even those who were already members of the Northern base.

"I need to calm down and analyze this silently," Zaos thought. "Those three already think that I am acting weird, so I can't raise any suspicions."

              Although that whole situation was weird, Zaos still had another job to do, and he couldn't postpone it. After selecting the toughest soldiers of his unit, he immediately left toward the place where Vitalar was camped. Since the path was pretty rough, they couldn't use their horses, but that was for the best. The animals couldn't find much food in the mountains covered by snow, and they would only grow weaker while exposed to the cold wind of mountains.
