“Tell Our Master that we number 196 of fighting strength and shall be on the move before the sun sets. Tell him that we are strong and ready!” His voice was strong and fierce. The messenger thought that perhaps that fierceness was perhaps not born entirely of confidence. There was a trace of madness in it, too. It was not his place to question the Master, but he hoped that this lion would stay leashed.
