"Rain, how fast do you think you can return home?" Branden asked.

"With enough mana and without stopping to rest, perhaps a day and a half," Rain replied. "I will leave traces behind, though. Anyone with decent eyes will be able to see me moving, and plenty of people know that I can do that, so leaving you guys isn't an option."

"Well, it will take years to rebuild the smallest amount of trust to sign a truce if we fail here," Branden said. "Besides, even if they are in a bad spot, I don't want to let another war start with the magic people."
