This trip to the northern iceland had been an expedition of education. How he longed to learn more about the precious art of healing! Having sought out Tiamat the basin medic, he had learned a great deal about northerly flora and how the Basin medics treated illnesses and ailments in their harsh climate and where particular herbs were scarce. Now that he was drained and headed for home, he could only smile happily as he thought of all the wondrous things he had learned.
Cloven hooves took him to the border of his homeland and it was there he heard the elephantine Kings mighty beckon; "Edge, gather!”
Of course Tilney sprung into a trot, following the direction of the patriarchs voice. He was expecting to be quite late and stuck at the edge of a crowd, unable to see the king and possibly not even hear him. He was quite wrong however; As the tired stag approached he noticed he was the first one to arrive, having ran so swiftly form his place just past the border. King Tembovu looked like Frostfall had barely phased him, and Queen Elsa was as beautiful as ever.
"My King, my Queen" Tilney panted, bowing his crown and bending at the knee.
