It was over, and Jared was at camp. He sat outside, but in shade, hair still matted to his face. Next to him sat his canteen, emptied once again after refilling. Exhaustion was the main thing he felt now. A deep exhaustion that he couldn't sleep off yet. Soon he would sleep - and he would sleep long.
Everyone was tired, and Jared kept most of his exhaustion at bay, even though it was very clear he was tired, and more tired than most of those that partaken in the operation. He slowly stood and walked away, hoping to make his way to the mess tent for some food. He was still technically on call though.
Jared had removed his helmet earlier to splash some water on his face. His helmet was still slung at his side as he walked. Legionnaires nodded to him as he passed. Those who had seen the display of his power showed awe on their face as well a slight tinge of fear. He gave them an encouraging smile.
A small form caught Jared's eye, one he had recognized. The young boy Ekene who had found in in the basements before the operation. That seemed ages ago. Ekene was several yards in front of him. Jared offered him a smile and a wave as he continued to walk.
