The two were lead by the local palace and council's guards to re-state all that had transpired just recently.
The council's head a very elegant, beautiful Valkyrie woman named Elitha, smiled at Faith, then at Zeressa, as they related the recent events. Zeressa even added, that if it was not for Faith rescuing her, she would have surely been killed by the Sea Trolls advance party that were destroyed by Faith's quick thinking. After the council had finished asking them more questions, and culling all of the information the two had, they were released to the company of several guards, so that the two could freshen up. And that the council could have time to consider what to do with this impending invasion in their surrounding areas.

As soon as Zeressa saw that she was going to share a room with Faith she coyly held onto her new friend's hand and let her lead the way. No sooner had they closed the door to the spacious, tho spartan prepared room, that Zeressa threw herself into her rescuer's arms......and what next??????
