The sleeping sun brought a flood of newcomers to the tavern.
Chatter grew in volume, providing more precious moments of escape. My eyes remained clasped upon the golden liquid in the glass before me as I fell into the woes and highs of the mundane lives surrounding me.
Until the subject changed.
Not for the first time today, talk of bloodshed reached my ears.
Whispered and gleeful exchanges of battle and vengeance began to circulate at nearby tables with far too much ease. Such casual carelessness made it clear that those within this tavern—within this city of Vordane—had never known what it was to watch all they loved burn.
As night bloomed in full and drink loosened more lips, what I’d assumed and heard proved true. This kingdom I’d chosen to visit had been doing the burning.
My blood cooled more by the minute, though there was no need for it. This was not my city. This was not my home.
The thought of returning to my own had me topping up my wine, the decanter hitting the table with a clank when the atmosphere shifted. The sparse candlelight flickered and flared. A hum, gentle yet deepening, infiltrated the dim tavern moments before its source.
Patrons glanced up when a male was shoved inside the door, laughing even as he turned to growl at the two males who entered behind him.
Wolves.
Their scent and the crimson markings of a royal army upon their black tunics and cloaks gave them away. It had been said that most wolves in this territory were warriors in the king’s infamous legions.
