Cosnach grunted angrily. "One of these days I will kill you, woman, for all the trouble you've caused me."

He grabbed at the chains around his chest, the chains that bound the general to that foreigner's will. He cursed the Reach King for putting them there.

''Unlike you, Sgai, his power does not fade when he is not near. These chains still bind me to his original orders and I cannot ignore them. Thankfully a few loopholes in his words allow me to go out and gather more thralls to fill my arsenal. All I need is to find a thrall strong enough to defeat him, or one that can undo his power and I win.'' Cosnach thought.

Ysabel thought of Ortis, wondering if he had healed up okay in Dawnstar.

Kyrnil spotted her leaning on the railing and approached her. "Thinking about him?"

She nodded. "Just wondering how he is. He wasn't in too good a shape when we left him."

"You could have stayed." Kyrnil told her.

The ex-knight shook her head. "It was a good thing I didn't. Seems we'll have tough battles here in High Rock. If you died while I wasn't around I'd blame myself."

The same applies to Ortis. Kyrnil thought, but didn't say it to trouble his half-sister more.

"Ze'Laro and Vargrav are there with him, as are the rest of the Companions. The three of them can hold down the fort while we help these people. If push comes to shove, there is also the Nordic Church's Half-God to help." Ysabel muttered, as if she could read her brother's thought.

Kyrnil frowned. "The High Snake Priest's hound, Ysmir. The church's ultimate weapon. He's in Windhelm, though, so I wouldn't count on him helping in the war unless the Reachmen managed to get there."

(I won't use Ysmir, just planting the seeds for his appearance in HG4.)
