I trusted Jonathan fully to take care of the other end while I shifted my focus to what I needed to do next. The herd was through the gate and now it was time to close it.

A giant [Icy Bastion(R)] sprung into existence to block off the gap while the builders ran in from the sides to fashion the gate closed. My wall of ice was plenty strong to keep the horses in while the builders worked to secure the gate.

The only thing left was to have Sarah start working her skills and see how long this would take.

"Sarah!" I called out to her loudly. I wasn't sure where in the camp she was but my voice was loud enough to be heard, "You're up!"

Sarah

"You're up!" Christopher's voice resounded over the neighs and the sounds of hooves as she stared over the rambunctious herd.

She had just watched Jon tank the charge of the entire herd and stop them dead in their tracks. It took a moment for her to react after what she saw.

Jon and her had trained together whenever the chance arose but she had never seen him do something like that. It was like he was an insurmountable wall that you could only shake your head and back away from.

When his skills flared, there was something else there that gave off the feeling that no matter how hard she tried, she wouldn't be able to get past him.

Sarah had to shake her head to get it straight and dismiss the useless thoughts, she had a job to do and she wasn't going to mess up the first time she was needed.

When she originally accepted Christopher's offer, she didn't know exactly what it entailed, but she did know that she wasn't going to be a Ranger anymore.
