Lyons pursed his lips. "I know battle lust and the effects. I too have come close and seen my brothers in arms succumb to it. The mages are more powerful than the were in the first war. I was forced into battle at 13. I trained to fight as soon as I could hold a wooden sword. Kate would understand Horen's need for revenge. We all want to see the demise of Lord Draco. This time Kate will be needed among the healers. I understand the bond Horen has with Brevine. I am glad to see Kate has accepted the bond. She too has some kind of connection to Brevine too. Nora, Feras, I hope you will stay a few more days before going home. The celebration of WinterFest is here. We exchange gifts and have a town festival."
