Vanelee looked on at the young mage with a longing look. 'What a wondeful woman' he thought.
"It seems that the Duke has made the next move. I am sensing that he has sent a force to combat our prgress up the mountain. I am not sure what the force is composed of, but I know that it is strong, very strong. I am sorry that my senses are not strong enough to give us a learer picture of our enemies."
"As for you two." Vanelee said in response to the riff that was emerging between Matt and Dreggan. " You both have very different views on life, and they are both respectable. You have lived very different lives, and different views are expected, but I suggest you put your differences aside and focus on the journey.
Looks of objection immediately arose on their faces, and Vanelee knew why. "I know that I must seem like a hypocrite after my performance in that last battle. That's why I am going to refcus my energies on the task at hand."
Giving a look showing his love a Nina, Vanelee spoke again. "Let's say we get a little more sleep before we ascend the mountain?"
