Léoflic had been wandering aimlessly in his dreams, troublsome dreams at that. He had seen his mother and father, lying there dead along with all of his new found friends.
Suddenly, something cold splashed his face. He opened his eyes and saw Edhener leaning over him.
"The battle is over," he said,"and soon we will be returning to our homes. Are you much hurt? Can you walk?"
He extended his hands to aid Léoflic in rising. Léoflic grasped it firmly and smiled weakly. "I knew I could count on you having my back my friend."
He rose slowly to his feet, looking around as he did. He saw Nikolai lying dead some few feet away and other men lying around. Then he saw Elfride and breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of her and another woman who he assumed to be Sandrina. Then he saw Thomas standing near Mayonnette and Cordelia leaning over a figure that looked horribly like Garnae.
"What happened? Will he be alright?" he asked slowly, still breathing heavily.
