With the death of Marvalt,The group return home.
As Tadhg drew his last breath, Aeryck reached slowly to close his eyes. The last stare that had come from them was one of love - Love for Tara. Aethelmaer, Arutha, and Xiahou all came close to help Aeryck wrap Tadhg's body and lift it onto his horse, while the others began to load up the rest of the gear.
They had found that their horses, weapons, and all of their travelling items were there with them on the forest floor. Now they must only find where they were.
Aeryck thought that the forest looked, and even smelled familiar. He turned to Xiahou, "My friend, my brother, could you ride a short way to the east and scout the area. I believe we may be very close to home. I believe we have landed in the forest in Andurus, of our own land. If so, there should be a road a few minutes east of here." Xiahou simply nodded, mounted up, and rode off.
A small time later, but what seemed like ages, he returned to confirm Aeryck's belief. They all began the travail back to Foda in silence. Aeryck led Tadhg's horse from the seat of his own, and Aethelmaer ensured the safety of Tadhg's great axe. They would ride into Foda victorious, but victory is not what this party of brothers felt.
"For the Glory of Tara," Aeryck muttered. He could hear the others mutter the statement under their breath in reply.
