Worrying Development
News of the Albornian Invasion had shaken Drynoth's Bane to its core. The bandit clan was working like mad to gather supplies and weapons to join the fight. Cora was naturally given the task of baking the bread and preparing the rations. Every bone in her body ached for battle, for vengeance. She would not stay on the side lines any longer.
She had left her coat that night, any extra sound would give her away for sure. The frigid air stabbed at her skin as she quietly trudged towards the main building. In a second she had climbed to the roof and peered in the gap between shingles. Her fingers stung as she touched the icy roof. She had risked her life all those months ago to place this passage here and it certainly came in handy.
“I've seen 6 or 7 seven come….. north east,” It was impossible to make out the words the men were saying over all the rushing wind outside. Delicately, she climbed through the icy hole and balanced upon the timber planks supporting the roof.
“Our men are restless sir, they don't know what’s going…,” “ Silence!” Darrion exclaimed. “The men must not know until it is time. Fetch a quill and parchment will you Henry.” As the man named Henry pulled them out Darrion began speaking. “Lord Ruler Elduin Turbor,” the men gasped as these words left his mouth. It was hard for Cora to make out their faces but from this angle it seemed like they were immediately silenced by Darrion's deathly glare. “This is the feared Darrion of Drynoth’s Bane,” he continued, “we are men of action and both after the same goal,” he ended each phrase with a pause to allow Henry to furiously scrawl the words onto the parchment. “I have 500 well trained men to donate to thy cause. I swear my sword and honor to thee. For in return that you grant unto me the right of the Ruler of Melikroth under thy Jurisdiction,” Every word hit Cora straight in the chest, Drynoth’s Bane teaming with Alborne to invade Melikroth? The men seemed just as dumbfounded as she was. “You mean to really side with that…” the man was cut off once again as Darrion began to resume the terms. Cora’ s raging emotions drowned out his words as she contemplated this new development. What would she do? There was no way she would fight for the Albornians, after what they did to her homeland. Thoughts of home filled Cora's heart with sorrow and her vision became cloudy as a tear fell across her face and made its way to the floor. The floor right in front of Darrion.
Looking up he saw her there with tears welling in her eyes. “Well looks like the cat crawled out of bed,” he said devilishly. Adrenaline coursed through Cora's body as she bolted for the crack in the roof. The screams of the men seemed to fade as she fled into the frozen forest.
Thanks for reading! This is my second build for FracturedKingdoms and I'm really excited to develop this character. I’d like to give a special thanks to @legoModularFan for all his help on the wips and I highly recommend you check out all the other FK builds.
