Zachary hesitated, he wasn't certain what he should do.  On one hand, he was having a hard time trying to get inside to his daughter.  Zachary looked back at the wilderness he had left his wife in.  There was no telling what was in the forest and the warriors already did an excellent job of originally culling Amber from Emma.  If he failed in retrieving Amber there was no guarantee that the warriors would not already have snatched Emma too.  On the other hand, he promised to bring back Amber and based on the sounds, the wretched pagans already were having their wicked ways with her.<br/><br/>Zachary sent a heart-felt prayer to the Lord to bring him guidance in this moment of crisis.  Then the answer became clear, he promised Emma that he would rescue Amber and so he would.  "I accept your challenge for the right to reclaim my daughter and that you will not molest me or my family when we leave your land."
