"For the most part, that will depend upon how quickly both your men and the Dominion's soldiers, if they are present, are able to be prepared." Meesei answered. "In terms of the attack itself, moving so many soldiers through the portals between realms will likely take several hours, even with the largest portal we can reasonably make. Fortunately, we estimate that the sigil stones can keep the portals open for weeks, so time will not be a limit in that regard. Still, we will not be able to move from the Hunting Grounds to Vile's realm [i]immediately[/i]. It will take time to set up the second portal, but we can also use that time to prepare a forward camp in the Hunting Grounds. We can use it as a staging area, and set up medical tents to treat any wounded that might make it back alive. Vile's defeat will briefly destabilize his entire realm enough to close our portal, which, if you recall from the history of the Oblivion Crisis, will teleport us back immediately to where we came from. I would estimate that we would be in the Hunting Grounds for a day or two at most before we make our attack." 

Meesei had expected all of the information she gave Marod to be shared, so it did not surprise her that gro-Tagnud had been informed. It did give her a good idea of what information she needed to focus on giving him for the moment. "As for the time leading up to the opening of the portal, I do not believe it would be wise to rush. We are not under any current pressing time constraints, and we are only going to have one chance at this. I can create for you a device that will allow you to teleport you soldiers into the cavern from anywhere. Only a few men at a time, but it would still be faster than marching them across Tamriel. And draw less attention. With that time saved, we can take the time to prepare and train for the battle. A few months, perhaps, to make sure we are ready to fight as effectively as possible."

Kaleeth raised her brow, curious at Rhazii's request. She did not quite understand why he was asking, but she also had no issue telling him. She supposed it could be fun to reminisce on her younger days, actually. Her smile quickly returned and she motioned for him to follow her as she grabbed her own breakfast. "My first few years in the pack? Oh, it was overwhelming. I know I've told you why I joined before: that me and Janius fell in love while the pack was visiting my village. He was such a kind and friendly man towards me. He was kind enough to help me even when a lot of the other hunters-in-training would not. Thinking back on it, the other boys in the village were probably all scared to get close to me because of my father. He was the Master Hunter of the whole village. And maybe they weren't wrong to be afraid; I thought he was going to kill Janius when he caught us mating out in the swamp." She commented, giving a lighthearted chuckle as she sat down with her plate of fried chaurus eggs. 

"Anyways, I didn't know what to expect when I left the village. I had never been away from my people, and I didn't know anything about what I was getting into. It took a long time for me to be able to even talk normally to everyone except Meesei, since I hardly knew Cyrodilic. Before we even left Black Marsh, though, we got into something really dangerous with that cult of Molag Bal. I wouldn't say it was a good introduction to the pack for me. That whole experience was horrible. It was in that place that you got your burns, and I can only thank the Hist that you were too young to remember that. There were times early on that I wanted to leave the pack and find some way to go back home, but Janius helped me push through that." Kaleeth explained. She had not really touched on the difficulties she had fighting right after she joined the pack, but without the context of the conversation Rhazii had with Meesei, she did not know exactly what kind of information he was looking for.
