Chapter 65: The conclusion

After right past one hour to midnight, all three of them came down. Rhaet and Katheryn approached the tribesmen, and Rhaet began to speak. All the tribesmen were sitting on one side of the hall, drinking. Rhaet's voice only reached the tribesmen in the large hall, and despite their intoxication, the tribesmen paid close attention to his words.

Katheryn looked for Aragon and noticed him standing near a window. She stepped closer to him, noticing the oblivious look on his face. Aragon seemed to be in a world of his own, not fully aware of the environment he was in or the words being spoken by Rhaets. She approached him and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Aragon heard her but didn't turn, then he replied, "Nothing."

"So, what's next?"

Katheryn grabbed a bottle and said, "What do you think?"

"Not gonna fight anymore."

"Yeah. That's the deal."
