The General stood before us, red with anger while the entire arena held their breath, waiting to see what was going to happen."Harry, Chael, you're free to go see the healwife to have your arms looked after and Caleb...""No."Everyone looked at me, shocked by my refusal.

I moved it to show I wasn't lying and tried not to wince as the pins and needles moved along the length of it.The general threw his hands up in desperation. "Chael's luck," he mumbled before throwing an apologetic look my way. "Alright, Chael. Nothing else is going as it should and quite frankly I'm at a bit of a loss.

With help from some unexpected sources, Chael sets off on a journey that will test his will, his character, and his heart.

When?""Which one is that?""The tiny meat eating mammoth.""About an hour ago.""Look, I don't want to frighten you, but I'm coming up your tree."
