Ward
Beyond pissed, how the hell had they not found Ziege yet? War was approaching and I needed every chess piece in place. These good-for-nothing leeches I collaborated with had the audacity to let a sneak attack happen. If it weren’t for an unexpected explosion during the attack, my men and I wouldn’t have known about it.
This made me feel uneasy. I should have at least sensed something and yet I didn’t. Chills ran down my spine at the thought, impossible that person had been dead long ago. So many possibilities raced through my mind, but I didn’t have time to linger.
Whoever they were that attacked us gained a two-day lead that we couldn’t afford to lose. The solstice hadn’t yielded the result I was aiming for with my punishment to Ziege. The energy I needed wasn’t enough to suffice
