Hawk continued "Running should have been the option we all chooses. If we had run we wouldn't have lost a lot of lives except cities and palaces that can be rebuilt. Am sure if you take a look around you will realize that we lost. I mean we came here with 2 million soldiers and 40 wizards but all that remains now is 300 soldiers and 17 wizards, and some of those remaining soldiers and wizards are not even fit to fight anymore. If we had chosen to run many may still be alive and the soldiers' and wizards' lives wouldn't have been wasted".
Everyone was surprised by all that Hawk said except prince Kinsley who understood what Hawk meant. Prince Mike (surprised) said to Hawk "How can you suggest that we run. I don't see running as a sensible option. If you and the others were able to defeat Marcelos and his armies then why can't we?".
