LERRIN
It took hours. But when the council were finally finished meeting, Lerrin ordered them to begin preparations immediately.
"I want us travelling this time tomorrow, or the next day at the latest."
The younger members of the council barked and whooped with anticipation, while the older smiled and clapped each other on the back. Although his own stomach hadn't settled, he knew they were right to be optimistic. Their plan was good. He was sure of it.
He clapped his hands and got to his feet, the others following suit. It took a few minutes to get them all out of the tent. But he caught Hern before he left and pulled him aside.
"Can you do me a favor and send one of your messengers to get Asta and tell her I need her here immediately?"
