Though the other three
captains insisted Eleon was not to blame, he could not dismiss the fact that
the fault belonged squarely on his own shoulders. If there was a way to undo the curse, Eleon
resolved to find it and free his brothers in arms.
“I think we need to have a meeting with the men this
evening.” Praxis decided. “It is only
right that we share what we have learned.
I think we should also release those who are not cursed. We cannot drag them into the battles we will
be facing especially since we cannot die but they undoubtedly will.”
The others quickly agreed;
it was best to get everyone on the same page as soon as possible. Despite Eleon’s insistence that he be the one
to break the news, the other three decided that Demetrios would be best suited
for the task. All the while, the young villager
watched the captains with admiration.
They had not turned on each other in the wake of tragic news. Instead, they banded together even closer and
rather than point fingers, they extended the hand of friendship.
