"Get the bodies into the hall, cover them properly and make sure to dig the holes for the burial quickly."

"Yes ma'am"

Mira watched from her place at the edge of the hall as a female elf instructed the soldiers all around the base. She had her legs drawn up to her chest and her face tucked into it. Only her eyes peeking out allowed her to see what was going on.

"You seem tired," a male dwarf said while coming with a plate, "Take this and eat. We need everybody working if we're going to get back on our feet"

Mira received the plate from the man with shaky hands and simply held it in front of her, looking into the meal.

The dwarf sighed, "You need to eat, lady. There's nothing you can do when you're like this," he turned away from her and began walking away, "Don't blame yourself"

His last words caused a sob to break out from Mira's mouth, but no tears fell, she had no more to shed.
