AARYN
Hours later, Aaryn and Elreth finally left the security building, farewelling Tarkyn and Lhern who had hung back to make final notes on the plan for those who would go in search of the humans. Tarkyn planned to give Tobe the final directions that night. Tobe would gather those he was taking the following morning.
Aaryn was torn between a sense of fierce pride—both Raichyl and Despyna had been selected—and discomfort. Tarkyn had agreed with Aaryn that Hholdyn's skill was likely the best among the Anima when it came to moving silently through the forest. And Khassi wasn't far behind him. But Tarkyn claimed both needed more discipline, to grow accustomed to taking orders without hesitation, before they could safely be used in this kind of mission.
