Ghurdan, Damodred and the newly recruited warriors caught up with the others shortly before nightfall, they were camped at the edge of the grasslands. As they approached Ghurdan could see about forty smaller figures gathered together in the midst of the camp, as they got nearer he could she that they were children, ranging from the ages of twelve to twenty five and everyone armed with sword or bow. Ghurdan looked at Damodred who just shrugged, they watched the children with mild interest as they passed.

They also saw that Sammael and Zasfal had been freed from their punishment, Zasfal rubbed at his wrists obviously burnt by the pulling of the rope, but Sammael on the other hand seemed his cheerful self and spoke loudly with Thorgom, "It looks like he has found a new friend, in your absence!" Ghurdan laughed inclining his head towards Sammael and Thorgom, but Damodred just shrugged and made his way towards his young friend, "remember my warning, regarding that one" he whispered to the mans back, in a voice that was not entirely his own.

He then turned to the warriors and told them to join the camp and to be ready to leave when the Priestesses gave the order. He then turned and headed to Sevora's tent, two of his crew stood guard at the entrance, and nodded respectfully as he approached. once inside he saw that the Priestess had company, Rahvin who he expected to be there stood in his usual place at Sevora's right shoulder and Dristi sat at her left side and across from them stood a young girl, around the age of nineteen he guessed, her silk black curly hair shone in the light of the lantern that hung above her head, at her side stood a younger girl, they all turned to look at him as he entered, he made the customary gesture of respect then talked directly to Sevora, " Twenty, of the villages warriors answered the Eyes call." he told her not sure how much the priestesses wanted said infront of the child.

Sevora nodded then gesturing to the youngster she said "this is Jasara, The leader of the Baobab and Painted sand young and her sister Khasia" she said grinning at him "And this is Ghurdan, one of our captains" she informed the girls. Ghurdan inclined his head to them, but as his eyes meet with Jasara's he saw the cold light that he saw burn in Sevora's eye's on more than one occasion and he knew this one held the favour of their lord.

"Take a seat Ghurdan some of what Jasara has told us may interest you?" he nodded respectfully then took a seat and listened intently to what the young woman had to say.
