Outcome of the northern assault

"How are things in the north?" Myropsis asked.

Little Phoenix's hasty departure from the walls had informed them that Eldrian had returned. Levana was also with her, Eldrian assumed the two had been feeding Little Phoenix crystals like normal. 

"Not great." Eldrian replied, pausing as he watched the vampire's reaction. "We managed to save Elomir, but Blenar was not so lucky..."

"When the enemy arrived, the gates were open and the towers non-functional..." He paused again, trying to read her expression. "From what I've heard, they survived thanks to the reinforcements being prioritized to them. But the cost was a hefty one."

"You need not worry. I have promised to be your ally, and I meant it." Levana said, noting the look Eldrian was giving her as he talked. "If you wish, I do not mind signing a new contract to state as much."
