As Henry was treated by the healers, Gwen kept an eye on him. She had previously spoken to them to add a sleeping potion so Henry could rest. They promptly agreed. So far things have been progressing fairly well. The evacuation went as smoothly as could be expected with the amount of injured they were also transporting. Gwen finally let herself review the day, especially Henry’s disappearance. What was wrong? She really did not want to pry further but something about his behavior at that time alarmed her. Her worry didn’t mix well with Uncle Matthew’s reappearance. This lead her to the thoughts of her family. The castle was attacked. Henry’s father was most likely dead and maybe her’s too. Gwen took a deep breath to steady herself and force those thoughts back. She couldn’t handle losing another father. She could only hope the rest of her family was safe. 

When Gwen checked up on Henry again, he was fast asleep in a carriage. Good. She went to the Queen to inform her of the current events. “The evacuation has been completed. Headmaster Trystan is staying behind at the Academy. The supplies are secured and we should have enough food to last everyone to our destination. However I am afraid we have used any remaining carriages and carts. We will not be able to transport any more injured if we are to be attacked again. Another concern is all this luggage. This makes our party a very tempting target to thieves. With our injured and dead I’m not sure we could hold off an attack if the thieves decide to attack us every step on this journey.” Gwen said. She could only hope nothing would hinder their progress.
