An Arrow Whizzes Through The Air And Pierce A Bullseye, It's Archer Stands Proud. Hands Clap. Saren smiled. "Your Skill Has Improved, My Son." I Am Well Pleased." Rodrigo Smiled With Delight. "Thank You Father." Saren Nodded. "Next!" Rodrigo Ran To Join Lexy, Chloe And Lilliana In The Forest Just Outside The Camp. All Were Delighted To See The Young King. "What Took You So Long, Slow Poke", Asked Chloe? Rodrigo Chuckled. "Well, Why Do You Run So Fast?" Chloe Smiled. "I Can't Help It, I Like Going Fast." The Four Friends Laughed. The Four Climp To The Top Of I High Hill. Lilliana Inhaled The Fresh Air And Sighed. "What A Lovely Day This Is! No Fire, No Fighting And No..." Lilliana Frowned And She Sharpened Her Eyes. The Other Three Looked At Each Other In Confusion. Rodrigo Frowned. "Lilly? What Is Wrong?" Lilliana Stared Streight Forward, Leading Rodrigo's Gaze To The Side. A Group Of Animals Comes Toward Them In The Valley Bellow. Lexy Gasped. "Taurens???" Chloe Frowned Sharply. "No...There Too Small To Be Taurens." Rodrigo Pulled Out His Spy Glass And Looked Through It. "I See A Fox...An Elk...A Few Rodents...And A Deer." Chloe Gasped. "A Deer???" Rodrigo Nodded. "Yes, Female It Seem's. She's Carrying A Wolf, It Looks Like, And They Have Weird Markings On There Arms. Chloe Frowned And Raises Her Sleeve, Exposing A Marking Of Her Own. Rodrigo, Lexy And Lilliana Turn Toward Her And Gasp. Lexy Looked Down At The Approaching Group. "They Are Your People, Chloe! They Are Coming For Help!" Rodrigo Shouted To His Soldiers In Spanish To Go And Assist The Strangers. Several Palomino Men Ran Down The Hill Toward The Sick And Sore Freelanders.

In The Valley, The Doe Holds Her Friend, The Wolf, In Her Arms. He Is Close To Death, An Arrow In His Thigh. The Kind Doe Cries, Knowing That If She Cannot Find Help Soon, Her Best Friend Will Die. The Wolf Coughs Weakly. "I...I Feel So Cold!" The Doe Wimpered. "Stay With Me Sobra! Please, Stay With Me! The Elk Falls To His Knees, Weak From Running. "I...I Must Rest." The Doe Turns To Him. "Please Keep Moving Everyone! We Must Keep Moving!" The Fox Looks Out And Eyes Approaching Figures. "Look!...Horses!" The Doe Looks Up And See's The Approaching Spaniards. "Everyone, Drop Your Weapons!" All The Animals Immediatly Drop The Weapons. The Palomino's Sheath There Swords And Lead The Poor, Weak Animals To The Camp. A Soldier Takes The Wolf To A Doctor. Rodrigo And His Friends Run Toward The Group Of Animals. A Few Of The Women Began Tending To Them. Rodrigo Walks Among Them. "Who Is Thou Leader? Speakth!" The Doe Steps Forward. "I Am, Your Majasty." Rodrigo Frowns Softly At The Doe. "Your Name, Woman?" Daniella, Majasty. Chloe's Eyes Widened. "Daniella?...Mother? Daniella Gasped? "Chloe???" Chloe Smiled Wide! "MOTHER ITS YOU!!!" Chloe Ran And Hugged Daniella. She Began Crying. Daniella Hugged Chloe Tightly. It's Okay, I'm Here...I'm Here My Daughter." Rodrigo Smiled And Turned To His Gaurds. "Feed And Cloth These Animals." The Gaurds Nod And Tend To The Freelanders.

Later That Evening, Saren, Mariah And Rodrigo Had Daniella Explain Herself To Them. Saren Frowned. "Where Have You Come From?" Daniella Looked Up. "From Geovanna. We Have Been Sent To Search For You And Tell Him Your Location." Saren Kept His Frown. "Why Do You Not Go Back To Him?" Daniella Sighed "About Ten Years Ago, Geovanna Started Enslaving Freelanders. He Tore Apart Families And He Ruined Lives. I Was Captured Two Years Ago. My Husband Had Been Murdered And My Children Were Seperated. I Had Just Reunited With One; My Son Is Still Missing. For Two Years, Me And A Few Other Freelanders Planned For An Escape. When Geovanna Sent Us To Search For You, We Saw That As A Chance To Flee. Earlier This Morning, We Were Attacked By A Tauren Scouting Party. My Closest Campanion Was Injured. Thank The Good Lord You Were Here! He Could HAve Died." Rodrigo Smiled, Then Frowned. "Father, Those Tauren Scouts Will Surely Report To Geovanna. Our Security Has Been Comprimised, We Must Move On." Saren Frowned And Sighed. "Yes...I KNow. We Are Done Daniella, You May Go." The Group Adjoured. Rodrigo Led Daniella Back To Chloe.

That Night, A Few Weddings Were Held Among The Camp. Fresian Soldiers And Palomino Women Had Decided To Marry, Bringing The Two Kingdoms Together. After That, A Large Fire Was Made In The Camp. Roans, Fresians And Palominos Danced To The Beautiful Voice Of the Guitar. Laughter And Joy Filled The Air. Rodrigo And Lexy Danced To The Music Very Well, And Pleased The EYes Of MAny Of The People. Lilliana, LeAnna, Chloe, Daniella, Denali And Eowyn Were All Talking And Laughing. Lexy Came And Sat Back Down Next To Eowyn. "Why Don't You Go Dance My Lady?" Eowyn Smiled And Looked At Rodrigo, Who Was Dancing Alone. She Hesitated. "I'm A Terrible Dancer Alexis." Lexy Laughed. "Nonsense!" Lexy Gently Pushed Eowyn Into The Dance. Rodrigo Caught Her And Both Began Dancing To The Music. Lexy Laughed And Smiled. Soon, The Camp Fell Quiet. New Couples Gently Kissed While Others Were Asleep. Saren, However, Was Restless. He Knew The People Would Panic Once He Told Them They HAd To Move On. Saren Sighed. "But I Must, It Is My Duty. I Cannot Let More Innocent Lives Be Lost...Not While They Are In My Care." Saren Looked At Mariah. She Was Sleep Peacefully At His Side. He Gently Kissed Her And He Layed Down, Eventually Drifting To A Peaceful Sleep.

The Scouting Party That Attacked The Freelanders Had Reported To Geovanna That They Had Fled To The Spaniards. "They Are In Navarra At The Moment, Highness. We Must Act Fast To Attack Them." Geovanna Growled Angrily At The News Of The Freelanders. "That's A Five Days March!!!" DAMN THOSE LITTLE CREATURES!!! I KNEW I SOULD HAVE JUST LEASHED THEM!!!!" Geovanna's Soldiers Stood Silent. Geovanna Turned To Them. "Prepare Yourselves! We March In One Hour! We Must Catch Those Horses If Its The Last Thing We Do!" Esmerelda Frowned And Packed Her Things. The Army Got Ready For The Long March Ahead. Toulouse Prepared Himself In A Tent. Geovanna Comes In And Rests A Hand On His Shoulder. "You Are A Fine General Toulouse. I Have Great Faith In You Sir." Toulouse Kept A Stern Frown. "Anything For You Majasty. I Will Leave Right Now." Toulouse Stood And Walked Toward The Entrance Of The Tent." Geovanna Watched Him. "Bring Me The Boy And His Wife. Leave None Alive But Them." Toulouse Stopped For A Second And Continued Walking.
