“You aren’t going to tell me, are you?” questioned Winus.
“Winus,” smiled Rejji as he put his arm across the general’s shoulders, “sometimes you just have to have faith that things will work out all right. You of all people should know that Kaltara favors me and helps me at times that I need it. What army can stand against that?”
“I don’t know much about this Kaltara,” admitted Winus, “but I aim to learn. Someday I will learn about the Valley of Bones as well. I am sure I will run into some of those men before my days expire.”

We will be starting patrols all over Fakara, and food distribution too. Your services will be greatly needed. I will warn you though, there is no telling what strange stories you might hear from men who fled because they feared for their lives.”
“Are you saying there is another enemy besides Grulak?” questioned the general.
“The Time of Cleansing is soon upon us, General,” declared Rejji. “Our battles have just begun.”
