Chapter 586: Inspire - Part 5

RETH

"Because of the danger to her and her cub, and her weakened state, Elia needed a great deal of support for her travels. Thankfully, the Creator spurred me to also assign her Advisor, Gahrye of the Thunder Tribe to accompany her. Because of his companion's death, the full responsibility for the wellbeing of the Queen was landed on his shoulders. He endured injury, danger, and trial, and still found a way to return her to us safely.

"Anima, Gharye has sacrificed both his own safety, and his own needs to return your Queen to you, along with our cub, still safe in her belly. As your King, and as a male… I acknowledge my debt to him. Please join me in honoring Gahrye of the Thunder Tribe."

The tables on the right side of the market, full of disformed, exploded with cheers, applause, and calls—howls and coughs, roars, and shrill keens.

Gahrye's eyes went wide and he turned to see all of the people, the entire market, on their feet.
