Gren was chained up still. He sighed, optimism could keep him sane, but it couldn't keep him happy, not forever. He was mad. Mad that the boy he had grown up alongside had chained him up down there. Then he saw the staircase come down. He stood up and pasted on a smile, but the fake smile became jeunen when he saw it was not Verin, but in fact Opeli. She looked shocked to see him.

"Commander Gren!?" she asked.

"Hi there. Verin locked me up....do you think you could...you know?" she rushed forwards and unlocked the chains around his wrists, "wow that feels good. Thanks'' she smiled and nodded,

"You're welcome"

"Hey you don't happen to know where General Amaya is at the moment?"

"At the breach of course"

"Is she alright?"

"They have been attacked but I believe she is unharmed"

"May I take a horse and go there?"

"Of course, you are free now" Gren ran up the stairs and to the stables. He took the fastest strongest horse he could find, jumping on its back he set it off at a gallop rushing for the breach. He rode all through the night arriving a few hours before sunrise. He handed the horse over to a stable boy, who gave him a look that told him he had done something bad.

"You poor thing" the boy said, stroking the horses nose "he pushed you very hard without stopping, well done you brave thing" Gren ignored him and walked up to the gate.

"Holt!" the guard said.

"I need to see General Amaya"

"She doesn't want to see anyone"

"She will want to see me," he said.

"And how do you know?" Gren stopped for a minute. How did he know? Amaya very well may not want to see him.

"I'm her friend, I was the one who-" he dropped his voice, even though Amaya was deaf, he didn't want her hearing her sisters name, "who helped her after Sarai's death"

"Look commander you may think you are above us-"

"I am her translator, she literally uses me to talk, just let me past!"

"She can do fine without you"

"She will want to see me," the guard sighed,

"Fine, but don't blame me when she kills you for interrupting" Gren walked inside and up to the battlements. A soldier went to inform Amaya of his arrival. Gren couldn't help but wonder if she really did not want to see him, and if she didn't want to see him then what would he do? He had always been a follower, always followed her.

"I'm sorry to interrupt but we have a visitor, '' the soldier said. Amaya turned to face the dark doorway, a scowl on her face. Gren couldn't help but think she looked beautiful. He stepped into the light, and her face lit up with the brightest smile he had ever seen on the girl. As she ran at him he lifted up his hand to wave, but she flung herself at him picking him up and spinning him around. He laughed with joy then hugged her before stepping back and beginning to sign to her.

Ik this is short and just kinda what did rly happen but from Gren's POV at the end but hey that one hug has helped me through so many hard times so I had to include it
