Emberwood Battle lines, her army gathers to her side

Disappointment sunk heavily into the pit of Clock's stomach when Durnehviir stated, in such a regal and casual tone, that this land was already claimed. :No!: he thought desperately to himself. :No, no, no!: They could not have traveled all this way for nothing. The thought of having to travel on further nearly sent him into a tail spin. They were tired. They were hungry... and sore! He let loose a small, high pitched whine of frustration and shifted uneasily on his feet. His rust colored eyes turned back to Chusi, willing her to say something to turn this around - although he had no idea what that would be.
