      The ambassadors gathered in the tent. All of them were tired and restless. They had already lost their leader and now wonder who to replace. Prince Ethil went inside to the tent as well. All the murmurs and tears.

"We know that crying isn't going to help." said Galasdir. "Lady Sabriel wants us not to be sad and scared. She have pass her leadership upon this camp to me. And now here I am in charge to run this camp and lead us to war. My deepest apology on my father's behalf, that he struck Lady Sabriel."

"Are you saying that we must work with the Elvenking? " asked William.

"That is ridiculous! Preposterous! He killed our leader!" exclaimed Advisor Quilon. His words were support by the other advisors.

"Listen first! People of the White Kingdom! My father had done something a heinous crime. To tell you the truth, he has been enchanted. I hope you will forgive him. Now, we are leaderless. Lady Sabriel has gone! She had passed the command to me and I will lead." said Galasdir.

"How this be? Do you have any prove?" asked Advisor Renya.

"Yes. A letter she had wrote and left," said Kristen, handing the letter to Adviser Quilon.

"It is true then," Adviser Quilon said while his eyes glued to the letter that had been written by Sabriel and with the official seal on it. "It seems the lady had chose Lord Galasdir to lead the battle with the elves. "

"I object!" objected Adviser Fangelos.

"There is no need to object, Adviser Fangelos. It has been settled," said Adviser Quilon.

"Lead us on, Lord Galasdir," said Adviser Quilon.

"I will first go and consult my father," said Galasdir.

"What is the use of consulting the ElvenKing?" questioned Adviser Fangelos.

"I need advice on this event. He has plenty of experience unto this," admitted Lord Galasdir.

"You seems to have trouble in this quest. What troubles you? May I ask?" questioned Adviser Quilon.

"My mind may yet young. Inexpediency I am onto leading the soldiers," said Lord Galasdir.  

"Ah! Inexperience! The Lady chose those who have excellent skills in experience and strategy of war and battle-" Galasdir cut him off. 

"But I have her trust and respect! She valued me like a faithful companion! Not like a witless creature like you!"

"Silence, please. Fangelos, do not bring such arguments in here. We are running out of time!" said Adviser Quilon. 

" I must say that Lord Galasdir is not qualified to be the leader of the army!" argued Adviser Fangelos.

"I am not. But my father is," defended Lord Galasdir.

"Quit the argument! In final of my decision made by me, the chief of the council, is that we must submit our commitment to the elven army and king," said  Adviser Quilon.

"But-"Adviser Fangelos was cut off.

"We have got no choice, Adviser Fangelos. Now, quit your arguments and follow orders!" interjected Adviser Renya.

"What is your plan now?" asked Adviser Quilon.
