"well... just for them... I don't want my family to have to die cause of this stupid war." she blushed a bit.

He nodded. "It's a pointless war but one that couldn't be avoided. Tell me something, if it was the queen's life or your family's, who would you chose?"

"I... I don't know... it's bad for me and my family either way it seems..."

He kept quiet and got back to watch the road, staring into the darkness. As soon as Cardea was asleep, he would try to get some sleep too.

Cardea sat there thinking for awhile before laying down. SHe curled up in her spot some, so if it got cold it wouldn't affect her too much and laid there for awhile before falling asleep.

Oden opened his eyes as he heard footsteps marching close by. He leaned forward and waited as his vision adapted to the new light conditions. It was still dark but he could see a large army moving towards the direction they were headed.
He poked Cardea on her feet to wak her up.

She mumbled softly, and opened her eyes, "What is it?"

She nodded and looked ahead, "let's get outta here." she whispered to him, getting ready to move.

"Wait. They are going the same way we are, no doubt heading towards the capital. Lets wait for them to pass. They might detect us if we move now."

"but shouldn't we try to get there before them? who knows what they'll do if we can't warn the capitol that an army is coming?"

"Yes, but its still dark and we are at a disadvantage in the forest. They on the other hand can just follow the road."

"Me neither..." His eyes narrowed as he looked at the force in front of him. "Where did all these troops come from. Do they really have this big a reserve?"
He had thought the force would be much smaller seeing as most of them were killed on the battlefield in the past month or so of the battle.
