Amaryllis sighs, sitting down in a nearby chair. People are idiots. They'd rather have someone else do the thinking for them. she thinks, shaking her head. There are many things that she needed to do, not the least of which was deciding whether or not to ship out with the soldiers and find out what the fey really were like.

Whether I like that man or not, Roth's idea has legitimacy, though likely not in the way he would expect. If I could find evidence that the fey are not barbarians, maybe the commoners would listen. At the very least, we would stop losing so many to their traps and schemes. The fey are not idiotic, if they can slay so many. Indeed, most of them are probably more intelligent than that bigot.
