Kasren gathered all of the unit leaders in one place. He also invited Pran and Yyuer for the discussion. Alein also came as the representative of the first unit. Kasren quickly started to meeting.
Kasren: How many lives we lost?
Alein: Forty-two soldiers died and we have twenty wounded.
Kasren: Alein, when we return to castle inform their families and share our loot with them handsomely. They sacrificed their lives for a better future. Also, try to do everything to treat wounded soldiers.
Alein: As your order.
Kasren: I don't think they are regular bandits. They moved professionally and brutally. They came here to kill and threaten us. I just couldn't understand who are they.
Pran: They were from the Farion. Have you heard of them?
Everyone in the tent looked at Pran with meaningless faces. It was their first time hearing that name.
Kasren: No, I didn't. Who are they?
Pran: You can call them a special assassin organization. Only a select few know their name and organization. They don't take request only for money. They have enormous pride and dignity. They attacked you because they thought that was worth it.
Kasren: How do you know them? How can you be so sure?
Pran: Because my late wife was one of them.
Kasren stopped for a moment.
Kasren: Did they come for you? For a revenge?
Pran: No, I already handled my problem with them many years ago. Like I said they are prideful. They won't open a page again which is closed. They must have another goal.
Kasren: I don't know their purpose but they wanted to give us a serious warning. They could kill more of us but they didn't. Still, they are our enemies. They killed our comrades.
Pran: I can understand your anger, your highness. However, you shouldn't act recklessly. You have many enemies and some of them are even more powerful than them. You are brave and you have courage but you are moving, killing and fighting fast. You need to think more before deciding.
No one questioned Kasren's decisions before. They only obeyed. Now, he attracted sudden attentions and that leaded his comrades death. He was young and without experience. He felt a sharp pain inside of his chest. His rushing decisions caused death of someone's fathers,brothers,lovers or sons. Pran saw that on his face.
Pran: You shouldn't blame yourself too much, you are walking on a thorny path and everyone who follows you were aware of it. You just must not forget today's sorrow and pain.
Kasren didn't talk back. He became silent for seconds and suddenly talked.
Kasren: I will never forget today. We are going back to castle.
