"Oh by the way Madoc. Osmund." Finn said while his voice took on a new level of seriousness. "Prepare yourselves. You are going ahead of me to attack the Sanctum."
The words Madoc had wanted to say died on his tongue instantly. He blinked and his mouth hung open for a second before he managed to sputter a response.
"A—Attack the Sanctum? You mean we are attacking immediately upon arrival?" he asked.
"Yes," Finn said simply, as if he had not just as if he had not just issued an order that would sound like a suicide mission to any other person in this world.
Osmund himself was also dumbstruck. It was one thing for the Lord Errant to say he would attack the Sanctum — even something as crazy as that seemed par for the course for someone like him. Osmund and Madoc would not have batted an eye if he had said he was going to personally lead the attack on the Sanctum.
