Anyway, since they returned, Eldric did not rush to set the other plans in motion. He wanted the small party to have a rest, even though they repeatedly told the house that the beasts were not that strong. A battle was a life-and-death situation. A single misstep could be a lion's downfall, and even a young cub could topple an aged king with a lucky strike.
As such, Eldric strictly forced them to take a few days off and rest. Once they are better, the rest of the plans will be put into action.
Eldric had already discussed the matters with Galen and the other elders and assured them they would have a change of scenery, something Cael, especially, looked excited about.
