Bab 141: Meeting the Commander

Althea led them toward the building in the middle of the barracks. It wasn't the largest or most conspicuous building in the camp. It looked simple and unadorned. There wasn't even a guard around.

"How is this the building of the Commander? Isn't it a bit too simple?" He asked Althea, not bothering to lower his voice. He didn't perceive anyone around. 

"The Commander is one of the strongest people in the kingdom. Do you think we would be able to defend against something that threatened him?" Althea asked with a soft smile as she talked about the leader of the Northern Hawks. Her reaction didn't surprise Hex. He knew she looked up and adored the man beyond anyone else. 

When Hex shook his head she continued. "The Commander is the fastest person in the kingdom and is rarely inside. He roams the skies. This building is just somewhere he rests. So, if we want to meet him, this is our best bet."

"Why do you make me sound like a stray cat?"
