“We must bury what we can,” Brenna said quietly. She called out to Niamh and Deagan, “Send out the medics and round up the wounded. The survivors will flee, tell their commander not to come here again. If he’s a fool, he’ll make another sally, so we must take our chance to recover.”
Deagan and Niamh saluted, wearing wicked grins, and turned about, headed into the trees.
Ciaran watched them go, and as they walked away his gaze fell on Eoghan and Dolan. Both of them looked utterly terrified.
“We saved you,” Ciaran said. “You’re safe now. Don’t be afraid.”
