Eritrea showed the letter in the palm of her hand. "They were ambushed by mountain lions in the deep hours of the night."
Asher's eyebrows furrowed even further. Without those soldiers at the mountaintop, they would be blinded to an incoming wave of beasts. That would prove catastrophic, as Silverleaf might fall and he would lose a good portion of his men and maybe his own life.
Eritrea went on one knee.
"I request to go rescue them."
Asher looked down at her.
"Take 10 rangers with you."
"Mn,"Eritrea nodded.
She stood up, turned, and left with large strides.

The cold wind caused Eritrea's coat to flutter. She held onto the mountain and looked down. Below her were 10 other rangers, and they were about 400 feet high!
