Tales of Eldor - The Warden

Epilogue

15 years have passed since Valiant Hold repelled dead. 15 years and Valliant hold now burst with life again. Its walls equaling the great city of Baldrum and its army to rival it. Jessalie made the hold rise from its dark past and grow largely independent with the king not having returned after the funeral all those years ago. Lelah on the other hand visited valiant hold frequently and Harleen and Li'sha grew closer with age and now where close like sisters.

"Harleen! Hold up!" Li'sha shouts while in hot pursuit of Harleen speeding of towards the western wall.

"Come on Li'sha! The soldiers are returning!" She shouts over her shoulder, not slowing her pace in the slightest. Agily she makes her way up the ladder and onto the wall. She rushes towards Gwen standing near the bell toward, looking over the dead sea.

"Aunt Gwen!"

Gwen turns towards the two running towards her and raises an eyebrow. "Does your mother know your here?"

"She knows we are out."

"That's not what I asked."

"Come on Gwen, she never wants me near the western wall. I just want to see the soldiers returning."

"Fine. But you go home immediately after."

Harleen nods eagerly while leaning over the wall's balustrade, looking at the column of soldiers making their approach. "Is it true ... are there actual still dead people roaming beyond the wall?"

"Where did you hear that!?" Gwen responds abrupt.

"Soldiers talk, I hear things ..."

"You should not believe everything drunk soldiers say around a fire."

"You did not answer the question though ..."

Gwen glares over at the young woman without uttering a word making her point clear.

"I will just assume its true then." She continuous with a broad cocky smile appearing while she speaks. "Its probably them that ripped open fathers crypt then."

Gwen's eyes light up furious. "Who told you that!! Does your mother know ...."

"Relax Gwen, I am not a child. I live in a town that worships my father, people talk. And that would explain the patched up crypt door."
