"Good morning, Leyla."

Leyla says "What's going on? Why can't I move?"

"Apparently, at some point during the night you all decided to cuddle up to me."

Leyla says "That can't be, I remember going to sleep across the fire from you!"

"Well, it happened somehow, you are currently pinned in place by Isabella."

Leyla says "Is that why it feels like I am being smothered by huge pillows?"

At that I can't help but bust up laughing, which wakes the other three girls. Isabella is grumbling and groggy, Alannis seems embarrassed and quickly moves away, and Myria just snuggles in closer against me trying to wrap herself around me. It was a nice night so we didn't bother to set up tents, I'm sure I am receiving a lot of glares but I don't care.

Drog 'Master, I am so jealous of you right now!'

'Shut up, I don't want to hear it!'

"Alright, everyone up! We need to get ready to go meet the rebel leaders."

Myria grumbles the most as I force her off of me, but everyone gets up and starts getting cleaned up. As I stand up and stretch I notice most of the camps around us have already been broken down. It looks like all the soldiers already left to return to the rebel camp.

The only man I can see is Hawk, other than him all I see are the women I have rescued. When they see us finally up and getting ready they quickly finish preparations and are ready to go before we are. Once we are ready Hawk leads us deeper into the forest.

There are no paths in the forest so all the women are walking and leading their horses. At that pace it takes us three hours to reach the rebel camp. The rebel camp is very well organized, it is obvious someone in charge knows what they are doing.

However, it is quite a bit smaller than I was expecting, there can't be more than five thousand troops here. That is a much smaller force than you would need to be able to fight the king's army head on. My hopes for the rebels being able to win on their own are completely crushed.

Hawk says "This is the commander's tent, she asked to meet with you one on one first."

"Alright, everyone else wait here."

"Yes, and I would like your help with them. Some want to return to their families, others want to join the rebels."

Mercy says "Of course, those who want to join us will be welcomed. Those who want to return to their families, we will do our best to help. Although, to be honest, those from our kingdom will be the hardest to help."

Mericel says "Shouldn't that be the opposite way around?"

Mercy says "Thanks to Zamart we have a portal to Illium, so that makes it easy. Those from Free Union can return from Illium almost as easily. But our kingdom is currently much harder to move around in."

"Alright, what about the beastwomen?"

Mercy says "Getting them home is also easy, the real question will be if they want to return home."

Mericel says "True, they probably won't want to."

"What? Why?"

Mericel says "Following you has much better prospects than returning to being an outcast of the beastmen."

"Oh, I guess I see your point. I hadn't thought of it like that."

Mericel says "You should really talk to Annya about it."

"Okay, I will make a point to talk to her later."

Mercy says "Is there anything else you want from us?"

Drog 'Ask her to join your harem!'

'Would you just knock it off!'

"Now that I know about it I might like to use your portal and visit Illium."

Mercy says "Using the portal is no problem, but we will have to let them know beforehand."

"Ah, yes. Good point, once the king learns I am here he is sure to launch an attack against you."

Mercy says "From what our sources say he already knows you are here."
