By the time Kane and Judith had reached the Light Elf Capital Bryon had already heard quite a bit about the truce. It didn't take long for word to get out. Which was not surprising considering how much of a change the news would make. After a rather brief meeting with Bryon they were excused and given permission spend time with their family. Judith took this opportunity to spend time with her father, she had heard that he had become ill shortly after she left for the war. Kane left the Light Elf Capital to return to the small village that he had been raised in, his family greeted him with great enthusiasm. He planned to return to the Light Elf Capital after spending a few weeks in the village.

During the time that she spent in the Light Elf Capital Judith's father gradually became better. She suspected that one of the reasons for him suddenly becoming so ill was that she had left for the war. She knew that she was the only one that he had left and could understand that the stress of knowing that would eventually take it's tole. When she had first entered her home he held her so tightly that she almost could not breath. Though he could not hold her for very long at the time, he had grown rather weak during Judith's absence. Every day he remained in bed to rest.

Despite the announcement of the truce between the Elves, Orks and humans there was still a great amount of tension within the Light Elf Capital. Bryon has tried very hard to keep word of the new threat from spreading though it did not take long for rumours to begin. Then those rumours turned out to be actual fact. He had not wanted others to know yet until it was a confirmed threat, though now it was a little too late for that. He tried to keep himself calm and tried his best to assure his people that all would be well. However that did not seem to work as well as it usually did, everyone had grown tired of the constant conflicts. They wondered if they would ever end.

It was a rather sunny, warm Fall day. Judith wandered out from her home after helping her father with a few things, she would do what she had been doing for the past few weeks. The garden needed to be tended to and a few other things. She hummed peacefully to herself as she prepared the land for new crops next Spring and she plucked the ones that had withered out from the ground.
