A quicker one

Ray had set off early in the morning, leaving the Lion's mouth and heading to the nearby destroyed fortress to investigate. As promised, he had taken a small token army of around twenty five people with him. Left behind to look after the others was Katy as well as Dan. 

Dan had been called from Avrion to come by while the others were away, this was why their journey was delayed by a couple of days. The ones that were out on this journey were Lenny, Jack, Martha, Kyle, Harry, Van and the four students as well as the twenty five Redwing members.

There was always the worry that this could have been a trap, maybe something to get a bulk of the Redwing forces away from the Lion's mouth for a surprise attack, but Ray wasn't worried. If there was any trouble, he could always teleport back and he was confident that just him would be enough.
