Dante Strikes first

Chapter 32

A sound scream disturbed the stillness of the night. 

Lucia rushed up from bed, her heart was beating very fast as the far away howl of warning spread through the camp. Shouts followed, heavy boots was hitting the ground as warriors rushed outside. 

She don't have time to get her boots before the door to her room was pushed open. 

"We are under attack." Kain stood in the doorway, his expression darkened. 

Lucia did not even need to be told twice. She ran after him, the situation removed any traces of exhaustion from her. 

As they reached the main clearing, the odour of blood and fire hit her like a wave. 

Beyond the protective ring of trees, chaos continued the southern border was already in flames. 

Warriors were fighting hard with Dante's forces, steel flashing in the moonlight. The ground was shaking because of the battle. 

"This was not a small fight. This was war." Lucia's stomach turned.
