Chapter Thirty-One: Kelanar
Kelanar turns to Sheriff James as they head back to the guard tower.
“I'm going to cut my visit home down to once a month. It is hard on me and them every week. Is that ok to do?” asks Kelanar.
“I don’t see why not. The judge said you were allowed home, but you’re not required to go home. Discuss it with Master John. I don’t think he will have a problem with it,” says Sheriff James.
They are silent until they reach the guard tower.
“If you decide to not come home, have Master Johnwrite to me. Just tell me when you’re ready to come home again and I will come get you.”

How is your father?” asks Skorn.She turns and sees him enter the room.“He is well and sends his well wishes, but you know why I am here,” says Ellie.“Yes, you’re not happy with the new terms, I take it, and want to discuss it.”“Yes, this doesn’t work for us. We have been trading partners for years and now we find out you’re working with others as well as moving in on some of our land as if it were your own.” yells Ellie.“I have a few other trading partners, but you’re still my main one. What land are you referring to?”“The one that your demons moved in on to the north. It's clearly our land. So, I need you to remove them and then we'll consider renewing our treaty with you. I expect you to get this done before our next meeting and next time it is on my land we are having a party in honor of my father in three days. Come or send your own ambassador. Eithe

Maybe now that we have passed, we'll get a day off.”“I doubt it. They said the work had just begun.
