The Path to Greatness/Chapter 11

We had little time to waste. While I found the abrupt nature of the Drakel to be distressing, my directive was clear: I must thwart the will of The'Galin.

"Time is short, Humie," Culak said with a friendly enough nod, and I was shaken from my reverie.

"A well-made point, friend Orc," I replied, and looked at the Drakel.

"Lead on, Kruath'ri. We take the most direct path even at the risk it is overrun."

I would have much chance to regret this choice later..... but for now it was the only choice I could have made.
