George sees the Forsberry shore. It nearly took less than two

Months to reach as they travelled through Noland and wandered around The King Sea. If they hadn't been called by the Baron they might wandered for month exploring The King Sea. George bows down his head at the sea as his family worshiped the sea. Their heavy ships and men took them nearly 42 days to reach Forsberry. They would have reached in 24 days if they hadn't roam around the King Sea. They are welcomed by the Baron's Chief Guard Jor and 30 carriages.

"Ser George, I have heard about your valor. The Lord has provided 300 fine horses and spears and 50 gold coins and 50 gold coins after the task is completed. The port is our economy .It is the means of our finance. Blacksmiths and Ships are the only thing that our state has." says The Chief Guard.

"I'm no knight. Please send our regards to the lord. We will  finish the task and take the coins after the task is done. And we will take 30 horses.30 cavalry men will be enough for 50 hounds." says George.

"I heard with you ,even a boy can win a war. I heard you defended the front Castle only with 27 men." says The ChiefGuard.

"You are too kind. We did stop the siege. I may forget Hoffhill but I will never forget that battle. That made me what I'm today." says George.

"It would be a cherry on the cake if we would celebrate your nameday after you clear the port." says The ChiefGuard.

"As you wish Ser. Pray give the Lord our regard. Well March a few days later. How long it may take to reach the port" asks George.

"With these fast carriages and horses may two weeks" says The Chief Guard.

"Well rest here for 2 days and march  the day after and finish your job and if not we will get ourselves drowned in the East Sea Ser" says George as he takes his and his men's leave.

George slips out of the night from the Blue Mimosan camp. He reaches the jungle where he learned archery from Kai. He sees Kais hut as he knocks the door. A woman answers the door.

"Is Kai  home?" he asks.

"No he's not my lord. Who are you?" asks the woman.

"A friend. Do you know when he will come" asks George.

"Geo" says a voice as a man with only one arm and a scar in his face enters from back.

"Kai! My friend! My big brother" says Geo as he hugs Kai.

"I thought I would never see you again .Look at you I'm 6'1" and you tower over me .And you are wearing that armor your father made and that mighty sword. But what's with the purple banner.?" asks Kai.

"I am a mercenary now, the Blue Mimosan. But what happened .Your arm?" asks George.

"So you are the commander they are talking about. The idleton soldiers attacked us. Some 100 soldiers sacked Hayarth. They said we aided Perseus. I retaliated with my bow and killed 3 of them. You should have seen me Geo. But 2 of them attacked behind my back. I lost my arm with their swords. I cried in agony asking them to kill me but one of them only gave me this scar. We

missed you George" says Kai as he cries as he kneels.

"Did I bring this on this city. Am I your criminal" asks George.

"No you were just a child then. Its the punishment we have to take to give refuge .We should have send all the exiled ones to the reformer. But we always laughed at the east. And look what they plotted" says Kai.

"My home? Did they....."asks George as he stutters.

"They attacked this Jungle first. Your father brought a healer from the shore to sew up my arm and stop the blood. I heard they took your sister. I am sorry George they chained your father to see her being raped, and ......"says Kai as he cries and stutters.

"And...."asks George with fear.

"They took her.....Some say she was burned alive in-front of her father  eyes. And some say they raped her everyday until she killed herself and some say they threw her in the Forsberry port in front of the black hounds." says Kai.

"You did what you can my brother. You  are a brave soldier. I am happy that you and my father is alive" says George. 

"Your father hasn't talked since. His wife left him as I heard. I am sorry to say this about your mother" says Kai.

"I have to go by dawn tomorrow. I have to go." says George.

"I hope my wife welcomed you well. Maggie takes care of me all day. I tell your father about you" says Kai.

George picks a pouch and gives to Kai.

"There's 30 gold coins in that. Please give 10 of it to my father. He won't take it from me." says George.

" I will Ser. Promise me you will be my guest again whenever you come in Hayarth."says Kai.

"You are my teacher. You can call me whatever you like. Please help my father. He is a good and honorable man." says Geo as he leaves.
