Chapter 40: Pelleas

Haldir was in the kitchen assisting Rian with food preparation for the mornings. I had insisted that she was not responsible for feeding an entire army of males and females, but she was insistent that she do something for them. So, Helemoira tasked her with feeding those that were injured from the long days of training.

"Where is your brother?" I asked Haldir who set down the bowl of minced meat that he had been stuffing into sausage casings.

"He should be in camp, would you like me to fetch him?" There was a smile on his lips that he attempted to hide. I knew why; he wanted to fly and get Cyran.

Haldir had taken to the skies well today, and despite surely being sore, he was ready to workout his wings as much as he could. I only hoped that Cyran managed to catch up to Haldir. I needed both of them to master this in a short time so that they could help me lead my soldiers into battle when the time came.

And the time was nearly here.
