[Eyvind Redbeard]

29th Brightening of the Second Cycle of the Month of Cryxatum in the season of Summer; Era II of the Celestine Mandate, Era XIV Post Fractum.

Sitting on his chair Eyvind was reading some reports regarding the developments of the new Sherian Provincial Army. Things seemed to be going well but time was running low. Someone knocked the door.

"Enter. Oh, Eirik Elebsson, I was waiting for you. Sit, please."

The Senior Legionnaire entered and took a sit and waited for his commanding Officer to speak.

"I've called you here because I want you to carry on a very special mission for me. I want you to travel to Jaedaxia."

"Jaedaxia, Sir? But the war is here."

"I know Eirik, the war is here for the time being, but Telath is changing and there will come a time in which war will be everywhere, I feel it in my bones. I know that you, like me, want to see our people's honor restored. In the past I was told that I wasn't the only person unpleased with this Empire and that the Vagaran weren't the only who would be fighting this authority."

"But, Sir..."

"Let me finish young one. We both know that in the past Jaedaxia has tried to become one without the Empire. If we are to try something we need to find support among those who may still live there. And remember Jaedaxia is the middle of our people's land, at least the eastern lands and that it is a very important city."

"But, Sir...why don't you send Coates?"

"Coates is old and I need him here to prepare the Provincial Army, Eirik. You are still young and full of strength."

"But why preparing this army if the objective is to fight the Empire."

"We want to fight the Empire to protect its people, not only the Vagaran but all. The Provincial Army will be the only thing between the Orcs and the civilian population once the Legions get defeated. I have a bad feeling about this war young one, that is. So I want you to carry out my orders. Ride to Jaedaxia, don't let yourself be caught and find others who may be interested in the revolution. I trust you Eirik Elebsson, don't fail me."

The warriorpoet looked Eyvind in the eyes and stood, after saluting he left the office.

"Good luck, may Aslan ride with you."
