Little time passed between the melee and the joust. Soon Lord Bornetall and Ghan would face off. King Castor, ‘forgot’ king Northwood’s bet and made a new one. He put a bet on Ghan the warrior. In the afternoon, after a light meal the royalty picked up their spots again. The lady was no there though. Instead she walked up to the lance Ghan would use and touched it with the wildflower he gave her. In an almost supernatural fashion the flower’s stem grew like a vine around the lance. She turned to Ghan and said: “Take this. See it as my favor.” Before she left him.

Lord Caledon of House Araet, master of the fleet, did hear about the naval battle of Gynr Shalorn against Vaalgard and Nastrond. He brought this news to king Castor in a very discreet matter. The king said that a fleet of 300 ships were to be prepared in case the joint fleet of Vaalgard and Nastrond was to fail. He would not give Gynr Shalorn a chance.

In case of the letter he followed his peer’s their example.
[i]Dear king Nieldun
