Feras nodded.<br/><br/>"Well, Our territory borders your Kingdom. An alliance between us is a very likely outcome seeing as our families are now joined together Lord. We have heard the Kitkin are very proud fighters and mages. i think an alliance will be good for my people and yours. We have tried to ally with the Humans to the south and west..... But they dont want an alliance, only Peace Treaty's and Trade Agreements." he shook his head and sighed.<br/><br/>"Horen must return to our home for a time. To see his Uncle and show our people he yet lives and fights against Dracos forces...... But even thouh he is free to live where he pleases.... He will be needed to lead us in this war. He is a great warrior, and our armies will want him to lead them as a General, not a Politician...... Katie wont like that. I think its best for now that she not know he will be fighting. I suspect Brevine will also fight at Horens side, unless he orders her not to. In any case.... She will need to be protected. Once Horen begins to fight, his enemies may well target her to hurt him without facing him." Feras sat back and looked Lyons in the eyes.<br/><br/>"If she is hurt or killed.... Horen will lose his mind..... And with his powers I shudder to think what he would do. Or what he would be capable of.... Have you heard of Battle lust? Wolfkin are prone to it when out of control.... They kill or attack until they themselves are killed. Those who suffer it never recover and are killed because they tend to hurt everyone around them, friend or foe alike. I dont want to see Horen become that kind of creature."
