At Lisdra's Camp

After galloping for a good distance, Lisdra's horse slowed to a walk just as they rounded a turn. Ahead was a fire, a tent and someone leaning on a silver armored horse.

"Is that Celduin?" asked Olivia. "He didn't have pointed ears when we went out last night!" This second was said in a hoarse whisper.

"Oh, he did. You just weren't looking for them. They were hidden by his hair. He's an Agent of the High King. We were sent to bring you back," Lisdra responded.

"Back to where?" ask Olivia, fear in her voice.

"Back to the High King's Court."

"Why?" Olivia wanted to know.

"Because the High King has commanded it."
