65th of Winter 511AV
The trip from Zeltiva had taken just as long as expected, the sun was rising and indeed everything seemed to be working in the groups favor. Twelve Konti and whatever escort Zeltiva had provided made up this rag tag group of travelers. But they did indeed move with purpose not missing a moment of time. Every day burned was another day a city didn’t get to prepare itself for the destruction at hand. And these women were now indirectly responsible for the preparation of these cities. They had instructions to meet with Loren Dyres or Kaylana Natra if they couldn’t meet with the Grandmaster of the Syliran Knights himself. But V’nessi knew and trusted that the messenger could reason with Loren.
They made entrance to the small fortified gate; this signaled that they were gaining entrance to Syliras. The two guards outside were indeed beholding quite a site. A caravan of mostly Konti heading into the city? This was likely the largest influx of Konti they had ever seen. Just counting Konti there were twelve women not counting any Zeltivan guard or escorts that had gotten sent with them. The guard nodded as one of the Konti stopped letting the rest of the caravan pass as she talked with one of the two guard.
“I am here to deliver news of great gravity to Lord Dyres from V’nessi herself. He must be informed immediately and privately. Where might I find him?” Her question was more of a demand but her tone was serious and pressing.
The knight was puzzled slightly, but the Konti didn’t appear to be joking in any matter for what she wanted. Her and the other messenger would go to meet with Lord Dyres, the rest of the party of ten would find a place to have breakfast and maybe catch a moment of rest before heading out again. After all there was still one more stop to make and many more miles to travel. But they would have to wait until the message was delivered and the officials set up with whatever requirements were to be met. The women would likely need supplies and such and hopefully the Lord could obtain some of these goods and maybe even give them an armed escort to Riverfall as well.
The remaining women would try and head out before nightfall, that meant any travel arrangements to Riverfall would have to be made quickly. Armed escort or not they would move before nightfall leaving behind five healers and the messenger. They had one last stop then the charge they had received would be mostly completed. They were still to stay in the cities until they were no longer needed. The women talked the entire time about what their six sisters could be doing in Zeltiva. That was mostly to occupy their thoughts from the heavy message they carried.
