ALARIC I stood on the little forested hill that overlooked the castle. It was nearly a kilometer away, but I could see the chaos perfectly. The flames were licking at the night sky and the sounds of sirens reached my ears. People were yelling and running in every direction down there. I couldn't help but smile as I watched the results of my efforts. It was a beautiful sight to see such a secure place fall apart so quickly. However, my smile didn't last long. I looked closer at the gates and realized that the main objective had failed. I felt a frown pull at my lips and I let out a heavy sigh, annoyed by the lack of completion. I had given the borderland rogues a simple task, but the human king was still very much alive. Even worse, Stephen hadn't been injured. Not even a scratch as far
