CHAPTER 145

MOUNTAIN CITY

"Inbound back to Eden Skipper." Dan's voice filled the speaker in Tareif's home. They had turned it into a temporary command post, and it was filled with senior Dragoon officers. They had been listening to Daniel report from his location. "I want to get these boys stable before we do any hopping back and forth to Mountain City."

"My sons?" Tareif almost yelled into the radio.

"Your sons are stable War Master." The new voice filled the room. "They are strong and proud."

"Who is this?" Tareif asked.

"General Vengal, Wood Elf Ranger Commander War Master Tareif." Vengal's voice was confident and full of authority. "I give you my word as one father to another Tareif. Your sons will not leave my charge until they are back among you. You should be proud… they endured more than even I would have been able to. They have earned the name Dragoon."
