"I will always be beside you, your sword and shield. Your tool."
The words echoed in my mind. Thousands of thoughts racing by as I stared at the outstretched hand.
Eventually I just smiled and took her hand in mine.
She pulled me up and into her face, a kiss placed on my forehead before she separated us.
"Then what's the plan, my Lord~" she sang the last part out in a teasing voice.
However I just ignored that part and focused on my options.
There was a reason I had come back instead of staying. It was not only because I thought I was ill equipped for a war but also that I did not know how to wage one.
What resources would I need, how many people, how would I rally them. So many questions that I just could not answer at the time.
However, back here , with everyone I could pass ideas and pull out the important bits.
