The march to Eldin was rife with problems, carts broke on the steep inclines, wheels broke on large rocks, and Hilda insisted Daku ride his black stead which was problematic since he had to listen with his pointy ears for the commotion of the group. He was unpleasent most of the time, snapping at people, even Hilda, who in one row she tapped his head with her wand.
“Enough! This self pity is beneath you! I am your Wife and your Queen! You will show me the respect our vows dictated, as I am obeying for ‘better or worse”
This made Daku go silent and he gave an nod in direction of her voice. Hilda looked at him with woeful eyes, she loved him dearly and this new normal was going to be an adjustment for her too.
