[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 9049014, member: 59816"] Donnell nodded and listened to what the Colonel was teaching him. It had been a taxing couple of days - he had gone from an inexperienced but well-trained youth to having dealt several killing blows to dangerous foes. He had yet to wrap his head around it. It dawned on him, as he gazed down from the darkened hilltop to what little could be seen in the growing gloom of the enormous steading below, that the high-energy excitement that had kept him going was starting to calm, and that he was weary. Perhaps more weary than he had ever experienced before. Determined not to let the Colonel down, he patted his leg where it had started to cramp up, wedged between two rocks, and he looked toward the watchtower, which was dark (unlike the day before when a giant had been shining a beacon-lantern across the hilltops). [B]"Better for us."[/B] he repeated after the Colonel, nodding. [/QUOTE]
