A Road Less Walked
#3
Revan followed the team of blue robed Rangers out of the town and headed up into the nearby hills. Rows of tents and flags dotted the top like a fair ground but only darker as it seemed this was where the surviving refugees had been brought.

“They hit us quickly, I’ve heard stories of Darkshire but when you’ve lived in peace for so long war hits you like a boulder.” Kalen said leading Revan past tall heavily armoured blue knights.

“General, I’ve brought someone back with me.” she said saluting the older grey haired bearded soldier.

“So you have Kyra, who is this stranger?” asked the General.

“A prime sir.” she said standing aside to allow the General to step closer to him.

“I am Revan Noctis, I’m a prime yes, I came here looking to give you my services.” Revan was sure that most primes did something similar to this often.

“Hmm, you seem confused enough to be a prime, how did you find us we haven’t been able to call for help yet.” Revan felt the man naturally didn’t trust him.

“To be honest sir, a stranger simply told me to come this way and here I am.” Revan hated how weird the truth sounded.

“Then perhaps a message did make it out, but not to the military but to some fresh prime, very well I’m sure the Duchess will be pleased all the same.” the General turned his back and began walking away throwing up his hand to motion the soldiers to the side.

Scampering away quickly the soldiers vanished from the tent, the General lowered his hand and turned back to Revan. “Our town wasn’t the only one attacked, the city of Midred was the first to fall to these attackers, the fortress there held until the leader of these foul fiends arrived and used sorcery to breach its walls, they slaughtered all inside but one, a child that they sent demanding our surrender.” the General said sitting upon a wooden chair.

“We allied with the neighbouring Orc town of Skalok, they were hit next and we brought the survivors here, then we were hit and now here we rest.” 

“We have few troops left, however the enemy hasn’t moved out yet, we believe they are prepping for a new invasion but we don’t have the means to counter attack.”

“Why haven’t you fled?” Revan asked feeling like this was a bad place for the civilians to be.


“Some of the Orcs attempted to flee but their bodies were brought back carried back into the town, they have horrible creatures who hunt down whoever attempt to flee, I believe they are merely waiting for us to die.” 

“Perhaps but they are ever continuing to arm their armies.” in walked a woman in a red and black dress.

“Meet Duchess Amelia.” the General said offering the seat to her.

The Duchess took a seat upon the wooden chair. “Revan was it, I think you can be of great help to us.”
