86. Let’s call in an end

Cold winds used to blow on the fort at night. It was freezing there. The moon was half in the sky peeking at both young and mysterious men. The soldiers of Winsonland were treating the wounded and removing the dead. Darius Simard and Jack were walking near the biggest wall, but their eyes were everywhere. Both of them had not yet removed the blood-stained armour from their bodies.

"What do you think? What will happen to Vrinda?" Jack asked in concern.

"There is no chance of his survival. But I have to keep him alive by all means." Darius Simard was serious.

"So are you going to do what Nimelo said?"

Darius Simard nodded, "I have to do it."

Jack sighed, "Why is his life so special to you?"

"I don't know why I want to keep him alive. Maybe because he is a true knight. He risked his life to save Jane. Almost died. He supported me in my fight. I have to repay his favour."
