LERRIN

His massive chest heaving, Reth stood in front of Lerrin as both of them turned to scan the ground and find they were completely surrounded… by Equine guards, all facing out, spears and short-swords ready. But no more enemies launched at them.

The cries and snarls of battle still rose in small clusters of fighting around the floor of the Grounds, but as Reth and Lerrin both turned, looking back and forth, it became apparent.

The Tree City warriors had won. 

The rebellious wolves and serpents were surrendered, or routed. 

Reth turned to Lerrin, covered in sweat, dirt, and blood, his chest heaving, but his eyes still bright. 

Lerrin's Alpha power pressed forward, wanting to fight, but he swallowed it back.
