He gave us far more than we could ever hope to have given Him in return. I don't know how long we sobbed and spoke in an unknown tongue praises to the Creator of all life, but we eventually arose of one accord as new men, with God given purposes to fulfill. The source of our strength was secure in our hearts. We looked at each other, with nothing left to be said as all of us were forever changed by what had happened this night.

"Rolf, get the horses. We will need to leave soon before the night advances much farther, if we hope to rescue the boy. The rest of you," I said turning to look at them, "I want to go apprehend the wagons bound for the farms, where the children of the high priestess's I told you about are being held. If the priests get in your way kill them, but above all rescue the children. Take them to the Valley Lands and tell them that it was Roric Ta'lont that sent you. They are a people that believe even as we now believe and they will not turn you away. Have you any questions?"

"We will do all as you have said brother!" Replied Seth, as the rest shook their heads in agreement.

And with that I wished them well and walked towards the horses that Rolf had saddled.
