To your relief you find the boy among those within the walls. You realize he is not a boy anymore though. After all he has been through, standing firm by his choices, the term 'boy' no longer fits him. He has outgrown it, and Midge has become a man before your eyes. Telling him so, and how he did well, he smiles from ear to ear.

His survival is a small victory, the kind that keeps hope alive out here in the green. Instructing the army to rest, you know you will need all the hope you can get on your way to Raven's Reach, and then the Heart of Darkness.
