Silas still lay there on the old wooden bed, his breath faint, but his eyes had begun to open. When he saw the silhouettes of Apache warriors filling the doorway, he flinched for a moment, then recognized Calder.Calder stepped forward, standing beside the bed. "Old man," he said, voice low and steady. "You pulled me from death once. Now it is my turn to repay that debt."Silas managed a faint smile. "Thought I had to die first before you'd show up."Calder let out a quiet laugh, and Eman choked up.Immediately, two Apache women healers stepped in. They removed the bandages, examined the bruised and battered wounds, and applied a pungent herbal salve that made Silas wince slightly, but within minutes, his fever began to break, and his breathing evened out.Outside, the warriors began repairing the damage: mending the shattered fence, reinforcing the gate, clearing away broken wood, even digging out the well that the Hails had filled with dirt. Five hundred people worked like an organized wind—no need for orders or questions, only glances and instinct.A young warrior handed Eman a sharp knife and said, "A man must know how to protect his home. But tonight, you will not need this. We will stand guard."Night fell. Apache campfires burned bright around the ranch, forming a glowing red ring of protection in the dark. Eman sat at the doorstep, watching the firelight gleam off spears and arrowheads. This was not a scene of war; it was the image of a tribe of guardians protecting his home.When the moon reached its peak, Calder came to sit beside Eman."You did what many grown men would not dare," he said. "You crossed our lands alone to save someone."
