Urgent Request

A bird dove down and perked on a gap between the castle wall. The bird stayed there for a while as if waiting for someone.

The bird appeared to be trained since it didn't move until a man reached the top of the wall and grabbed the bird.

There was a small scroll attached to the bird. The man immediately grabbed it and opened it to understand its content.

It didn't take too long for the man to be shocked.

He gasped and rushed back to the barrack. He didn't even bother to greet others because his destination was a room that held the highest authority.

Without hesitation, he slammed open the door and shouted, "Commander. We have an emergency request from Captain Septa."

"Hmm?" Commander Oscar, who was busy with the paperwork, suddenly stopped and raised his head with a frown. The fact that the message came from a Captain alone reflected the severity of the situation.
