The solace he usually found at the Mother's shrine was disrupted by his thoughts and the news he received. As Nethjet was not far from Aglarond, he add asked the birds to inform him of anything. He winced as they relayed in scant images what they had seen. Naturally they were not full images but they and the feelings they relayed to him were enough. He still was in the dark about his friends on both sides.

He knew who they would face and a part of him felt guilty he did not tell them ahead of time. He felt however if he did that could both sides in danger as well as himself. At the end of conflict end both sides would know the other. Dearis had experience in doing nasty jobs she may not wish too, he was more concerned for Alyisse. Alyisse would be near her home in the Yuirwood and may in fact be fighting her kinsmen. Would she maybe flee and hide? *he shook his head* He knew she would not as based on their last talk she could not afford to for her sake or Daeris's. Even if she survived, how would her mind be? It was fragile to begin with. He tired not to dwell on such things and vowed he would help both of them no matter what.

He prayed he would hear some word soon.
