An Audience With The General

Athena and Sir Daric left at first light. They departed from camp on horses. They wore hooded cloaks to hide their identity, making their journey a little smoother. 

As soon as they arrived at the army camp, Athena quickly noticed that everyone was on edge. The soldiers looked fatigued and morale was low. 

"Stalemates wear people out," Sir Daric said as they made their way towards the main entrance of the camp. 

"Hopefully, we can end this all really soon," Athena said as they came before two guards. 

"No common folk are allowed to enter the army camp!" One of the guards spoke roughly as he tightened his grip on his lance. 

Athena removed her hood, revealing her long hair. The guard did not recognize who she was, she could see it in his eyes. 

"I'm here to speak to General Matthias. I have information he desperately needs," She explained in a calm collected tone.
