>>5941572It was early morning and soldiers were pulling down their tents, fixing up wagons, spitting and bathing with stale rain water, getting ready for another daily march. They were entering the heartland of the human kingdom, the elf attacks were getting rare, the appeal of the capital ever-looming in their minds. The morale had risen, several elven were captured last night with the help of the captain's lover, who was growing on the men...
Except for sergeant Hagas. Weeks have passed since Folmar took the silver-haired witch under his wing and it would seem her grip on him was getting tighter. This morning he found the captain sleeping next to the horses' feed, two days before that he caught him spending the night under one of the makeshift barricades. <span class="mu-i">... she kicks him out of his own tent, she is changing him... </span>
Kyllia is Violet Queen sad thoughts arise in the loyal sergeant's head. Hagas took great care no one else to find this out, protecting the reputation of the captain. Ever-growing resentment was forming in him...

It's a cool late evening in the camp, many stars decorate the sky. You examine them one by one until you get bored, the little elfling companion playing with your obsidian dagger in your feet. A month ago you were starving in the mountains, pelted by rain and hail, and now you are here. Your moves have given fruit, every step that you take makes you more confident in your ultimate success. Hyldi brings you tea, you take the hot copper cup, take a sip and look up. A shooting star crosses the earthly dome, then another one, another soon after. In a matter of minutes hundreds of bright lines garment the moonless sky, each one just for a second, making for a magnificent spectacle. The elfling is jumping happily up and down at the sight, Hyldi lets out a laugh, you crack a smile too. <span class="mu-i">What a night...</span> you wisper to no one. You are in celebratory mood and maybe want to share your joy, you will spend the evening
