Archeus sits at his desk in the main hall, it's warm and comfy and he seems to be settled in his posture, and charitable position.

Metro sits behind him at a desk, reading the scroll, filling his voids, becoming whole again.

60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAb4VfiprR
Archeus:
“Ah, yes, let's see here…”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SFDxfuvSo
He pulls out a parchment and puts on his magnified eye glass, making his eyeball larger.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3La4aGHrO
He reads.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4eln63Pua
Archeus:
“Hmn. Yes. It seems a few maidens families whose husbands have passed believe in the flames power when Theron was converted. Most of them and a few others want to join the cause. I'd consider this a risky mission.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW68WtjhEIv
He looks up. Putting on his normal reading glasses. Now looks up further as if investigating the archers.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzeA1LjZTL
Archeus:
“I thought of you two, the quest is to sneak them out and pass the Guards somehow.. I've thought it through and have passed along the news to Sir Metro.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjmG1CK3ws
Metro keeps reading, not present.

Greg:
“Metro, will you join us on this mission?”

LILLY AND ANAs COTTAGE-
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wokBWNk6u
The cold morning air cuts exposed skin as Lilly hands over every last potent vial shes ever brewed. She packs them carefully into Gregory’s satchel, then ties the rest onto Angelo and Tank the mule, tightening each strap with practiced hands. The animals snort clouds of steam, stamping at the frost‑crusted ground. When she finishes, she turns to Paul, who sits on a stump with his shirt half‑open, stitches running across his ribs like a rough black thread.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw17iSpfCwo
PAUL:(grumbling)
Earth to Lilly… you wanna give away any more of those vials?
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFniVbAIAy8
She ignores his complaints, pressing two fingers to his side to check the healing. Paul hisses, then glares at the vials like they have a personal problem with him.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNt8U0HN2G
Meanwhile, Gregory, Sam, and Metro prepare the animals. Gregory gatheres Angelo’s reins, Sam tugs Tank forward.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5WDQvlEUM
SAM:
“C’mon, Tank. Don’t start with me today.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaPQ06Jfec
Tank blinks slowly, unimpressed, but follows.

Metro swings onto Sally, Gregory mounts Crook, and Sam climb onto Curly. The men adjust the thick blankets around their horses’ faces, tucking them tight against the wind. They feed each mount a small treat — a ritual of trust — before nudging them forward. They ride out in a staggered line, snow crunching beneath hooves, the cold stinging their cheeks. Metro explains the plan as they travel, his voice steady against the rising wind. By the time they reach the outskirts of the king’s village — a mile away — night has already taken the sky.
