From her tower, high above her city, the Empress watched her city fall. Kyran had fallen, and along with it, so had Jadira. The city was breached. The Jadiran Empress, Saffir was devastated. She had to watch with only her Advisor and her General for company from the tallest tower in her city, watch as the army of Daeron of Nazar tore apart the gates and flooded the city with fighting men. The commoners fled, those who didn’t were cut down. It was not what the Empress had expected.
Meanwhile, Daeron had uncovered a secret tunnel and made his way to capture the Jadiran Empress, which he did with great satisfaction. And so, Jadira had fallen and Daeron now held the power in the western lands as well as the east. The Nazaran Emperor had cut the realm in half. The North could not reach the South and the South could not reach the North. The realm was in chaos.
Far to the north-east, deep within the badlands, the Gryphons have been watching the entire thing unfold. And they have a plan--apart from the marriage alliance they’d proposed to Saffir. As to what the plan is? Well, Gryphons never were likely to share their secrets now, were they? Besides, the Gryphon Ambassador was set to arrive at Kyran within a few weeks, and now that he’s there, he’s not impressed. Who would attack an unprotected city? Why, Daeron, of course.
In Tonhir, the Elvish city, the Elves are restless. They have been watching the attack unfold--but they are closer than the Gryphons, and more susceptible to attack. Their leader isn’t afraid or unruffled yet. She is watching and waiting. The right moment will come to send in her elves, and she is content to wait for it. After all, elves had eternity to wait, didn’t they?
Back in Kyran, everything is not as it seems. Daeron has had held the city for just over a month, and every moment of it has been torture. The Jadiran Princess has been restricted to her room while Daeron refuses to let the Jadiran Empress leave his side for too long. General Basia is also restricted to his rooms while Saffir’s Advisor is rarely left unguarded, and those left in the city? They are still trying to adjust, but it’s difficult. Daeron’s men are everywhere and anything they deem suspicious is severely punished.
When your home is overrun by the enemy, what else can you do but plot and wait for the most opportune moment?
