Three days later, a meeting was being held amongst the council, Adrian and the girls. Although Amelia and Sophia hadn't recovered completely, they were more than eager to fight.
Adran was against it, but under a predominantly female council, there was no way he would win a vote to have them kept out of the upcoming battle. Besides, something A'Mila said struck a chord within him.
"They deserve their revenge as much as you do."
Adrian wasn't pleased with the decision but had no points left to argue. With a sigh, Adrian admitted defeat, and their meeting finally began. Akila was the first to speak, informing them about the location of the nearest outpost.
"It took the elves three days to reach there on foot," he commented. "If we ride the wolves without prolonged breaks, we can reach there in a day."
"A day's journey, huh?" A'Mila added, nodding in agreement. "They are closer than we expected."
