Just as I reached the frontline of my players, the players began to move on their own, creating a path that kept deepening till it reached the gate of the town.
I didn't enter there yet, as I raised my spear up high in a motion to make them all silent. Obediently, all the loud cheers stopped abruptly as it began.
"Goda, Grendy, Heda, Snad, Mony, and Rody come forth now. Rody, bring the fifty team leaders with you too."
I didn't plan to step an inch forward before I got all my upper echelon ready to walk by my side. If my players were to know me here, they should also know their other leaders.
I couldn't get this far without all of them, no matter how small their contributions were. I needed to establish this unspoken appreciation rule from the start of my group.
I needed everyone to know I never forgot any player who helped me. That was their right and I intended to share my moment of glory with them as appreciation.
