Work in Progress

The rebellion wasn't dead.

It was reborn.

That very night, a small strike team slipped into the valley below.

The glow of the burning supply caravan still flickered in the distance as Aldric and his team retreated into the cover of the trees. The scent of charred wood and scorched grain filled the night air. It was a small victory, but an important one.

They had struck first.

And now Cedric would know—the rebellion wasn't dead.
