Rylo and his father walk over to Algreid , through very dense forest they travel . The sun is coming down and the forests , but the men are protected by the big trees .
You cannot look up at the sky , Rylos father said
Yes father , replies Rylo these trees have indeed grown very tall and big . We ought to do something about them
Father , calls out Rylo
How do you think our welcome at Algreid will be
They are our allies , so i sense that there would not be any problem at all son
Hopefully so , replied Rylo
I think this is more of a formality than anything else . Said the father
Then why have you come along with me , it was just a piece of paper they intend to sign
Just as a precaution son , just as a precaution
Chief Wilmo , is a fair and just man , re-assured his father again
Don not mistake my questions for weakness father , said Rylo as the horses continued to stride
The soldiers continued to ride in front of them
I have fought in many a wars and brought victory to us
I do not accuse you of anything son , said his father . there is no need to prepare for any sort of combat . That is all i say . Again i reassure Chief Wilmo is a fair man
Rylo does not respond , he continues to stride on
The battalion continues to march ahead for a few more hours , very alert .
Let us be alert now , said Rylo as he marches on over to the front . We are crossing Wilmir .
The father follows him to the front .
Father , said Rylo . These forests , they seem a little more evil , a little more dark . Don't they ?
Yes son , Replied his father . They hide something
Yes father , they surely hide something .
They hide something evil , father .
Shhh. said the father .
Rylo kept quiet . These ghosts son . They hear us
Rylo looks over , the trees move more rapidly then they were
Yes father , they hear us . Let us get out of here
It is better we move on from here as fast as we can .
Rylo gallops and moves the battalion out of that area as fast as he can
They march on till the sun sets in
The camp sets their tents
The camp sets fire and begin to roast their dinner . The stars were not visible yet , the big trees still covered the area .
The pig is finally roasted and the camp gets busy with their dinner .
Rylo and his father are seated next to their tents with the food
Good meat , it is very well cooked . Said the father
Yes , agreed Rylo to his fathers comments
Your son is growing up fast , its time for him to start training
Rylo went to eat his food , and then going on to throw out a bone on to the ground
Before his dad could say anything . Do not worry father , I will have them pick out the mess soon after we are done
Good , good . We don't want to attract any animals
Father , about my son he will start training next year . Uncle said so that is the right age . that is when Chief Darticus started training
Yes , yes responded the father . Six is a good age to start training
He will go onto become a wonderful lad . And are things going well with your wife
Its alright . She is still complaining about the smallest of things father . I do not think she likes me anymore .
Do not say that son , said his father . Be careful of the what you are about to say next .
Marriage is sacred Rylo , it is an union that needs to last a lifetime
I know father , the gods would not forgive me . But what do I do ? you cannot force someone to like you anymore .
What about your son ? will he not be affected by any mishap if it was to happen
Rylo looked down to the ground . he is the only reason we are still together . He si the reason we want to fight and make this marriage work . A broken childhood would be bad for him and the community as well . A future general with a traumatic past , that is no good
His father looked up at the trees . make it work son , if not for you , at least for the sake of your son
Yes Father , Replied Rylo
The two men continued to eat their meals in silence
After a few minutes .
We leave early tomorrow Rylo , get to sleep . A longs days march awaits us
Yes father , nodded Rylo
Rylo got up from his chair
Men , he commanded
We leave tomorrow at the spark of dawn . And two men take turns to keep watch .
Yes sir , Shouted in unison . The soldiers
The trees rustled , leaving a small spark of moonlight in . Which was quickly covered again
His father got up from the chair and then slowly proceeded onto his tent
Good night father , said Rylo
Good night , his father replied back
