Winston had been busy flying back and forth checking on Baron and reporting back to the King. He had left Saphira alone with their eggs, and thought he better go check in with her before heading back up north again. He found Saphira pacing in her armour. "Where have you been?? I've been called back into work, and I have to leave!" "But...but...there's been an incident way up north. Baron has been severely injured, and the King needs me to check on him every day. I was just about to leave again to go up there, but thought I better go see how you were doing first." "Well....I'm sorry about your friend....and I wish him well..... but I have a job too. Now it's your turn to look after our eggs." "You need to keep them warm, and turn them twice a day." "I'm going to be gone for a couple of weeks, and will see you when I get back." "But....!?!?" And she left. What was he going to do now? The King needed him to go check on Baron, but he couldn't leave the eggs unattended. What to do??
After familiarizing themselves with their new responsibilities, and getting their affairs in order at home, the two knights set out... They were both excited about their promotion. "I sure wasn't expecting that. Were you?" "No, I wasn't. Not at all." "The King must have quite some confidence in us, to be sending us on this important mission." But it wasn't lost on the two men that their opportunity had come at great cost to someone else. Still, they were excited about the opportunity... ...and were looking forward to their new duties as the Winter Patrol.
