Riders and fighters moved to tears..

By lunch as ordered all the Riders packs were by their mounts and they were ready to depart.

They all gathered in together with the Vladimir and Recoil in the Hall and awaited the Lieutenant.

After a short while the lieutenant strode his face beaming with a smile, it was something unusual to see these days due to his beloved's illness so the riders were surprised.

I have great news he said and then he looked to the door and said - My Darling Zoya..

Out from behind the door walked - Zoya.. the lieutenants beloved..!!

The hall went quiet in shock for a few seconds.. Then Riders rose to their feet shouting with joy.. at the miracle before them.. some of these grown men fighters were moved to tears.

Others couldn't control their excitement and had strode up and knelt and kissed Zoya's hands at the miracle before them.

Standing silently at the back of the hall stood Vladimir and Recoil their hearts had also lifted sharing the Riders joy..
