"Daniel.." Said the Strongest of Warrior, as he approached him with a big smile on his face. His eyes betrayed a fair amount of mental exhaustion, which Daniel thought was probably caused by the extreme increase of workload. "Come in, please." added the old warrior.
Daniel and his small group of friends followed the Strongest of Warriors into the throne room. There, they met with the Chief Hunter, and the Head Scholar.
"How are things going?" Asked Daniel with a faint smile lingering on his face. He could see that, despite the three of them appeared extremely tired, they were also happy.
"Swamped.. The effort to clean and reinhabit the ancient cities is killing us.. There is just too much to do and not enough people." Responded the Head Scholar with evident tiredness.
Daniel smiled back at her, and said "I'm sure you will manage to do a great job.. The reason for today's visit, is to bid farewell, we will depart today."
