Nine months after the letter...

Alyss lay in the bed in the room that was now her's in Castle Redmont. In her arms was her newborn son, Daniel. She had named him when she saw that he had his fathers eyes, a warm, curious, laughing filled brown that could melt evan the coldest and hardest of people. It did with Halt. Daniel may have Will's eyes but he will have Alyss's blonde hair, she could tell by the small fuzz that was on his head.

She smiled when Daniel opened his eyes and let out a small cry of happiness. He always did when he fell asleep and then woke up. She brushed a finger over his forehead, but Daniel reached up and grabbed it in his tiny hands.

Alyss's smile faded when she felt a sharp pain in her chest, tears threatening to roll down her face.

If only Will had been here with them.

"He is strong, fast, quick to think, we can use someone like him in our forces."

"Where did he come from?"

"Doesn't remember. One of our patrolling officers found him unconscious on the bank of the Salmon River. He must have hit his head on a rock."

"So he doesn't remember anything? Not even his name?"

"His name is all he remembers."

"What is it?"

"He said his name was Will."
