Trimming The Fat

Trimming The Fat is the thirty-fourth chapter of Tales of Sheol'gotha:  Shadow of the Abaddon.

Synopsis
As the army marches off with Ukobach, Valon and his commanders stand with a small group of soldiers preparing to march west. Palus is very unhappy with the development, and voices his frustration. At the anger, Valon suggests that he goes back to Nazrin, but the others tell him to stop being ridiculous. When he reiterates seriously there is an outcry. He explains that he spoke to his family at Kopyragum through a rift crystal and could tell that his mother was sickly.

Without warning Imma launches herself at him, telling him that she is not here for him to second-guess himself, and that he cannot order her away because she is not beneath him. She riles Valon up, inciting the others in a similar manner until he explodes and orders her to leave. She does not take it well, departing in anger as per his request. The group looks on in shock, but Valon demands they move on, claiming that he is no longer held back by concerns or distractions that Imma would present.
