Her hair whipped loose around her as she looked around with unease.
Surrounding her in a semi-circle were armed men. They stared at her with shock etched on their faces. Their hands stayed ready at their waists, gripping the pommels of swords. The six men were silently eyeing her up and down, the disheveled girl who had somehow appeared in their midst.
Ciardis tried to speak but her voice broke.
Speaking in a hoarse croak she said, “Where? Where am I?”
The men surrounding her suddenly parted ranks and out of their midst General Banaren appeared. By his side strode Leonidas, General of the Imperial Army.
“Well, by the gods,” General Banaren said, astonished. “Ciardis Weathervane, what are you doing here?”
Staring at him with bleary eyes, she asked, “Where is here?”
Grimacing, he whipped off his heavy overcloak and loudly called for fresh water to be brought.
“The frontlines of the war in the North.”
