681 The Remains

The fire had spread by the time Kyera and her supporters broke through the tree line into the village. The smell of death, decay, and burning filled her nose, causing herself and several of the forest children to force back gags of disgust. Bodies lay torn open in the street, homes burned, live stock shredded beyond recognition. No one and nothing was spared. In the center of the square drug from its customary place near the poor side of town, was a stall. Across the sign, in now charred writing that could no longer be read, but Kyera clearly knew the words. The smell of medicinal herbs burning only cemented her suspicion. A body tied to the post made Kyera's heart throb with pain. Another innocent, dead. Burned for no reason other than spite and hatred. Even the snow coated roofs could not stop the fire from engulfing them.

"Oh my Gods…" Alexi whispered as he looked at the carnage he couldn't come to terms with what he was seeing. Damar and Clovis stared wordlessly, knowing there was nothing that could be done, their minds in shock.

"Why are they here? They should have been in the castle, the place was still considered a war zone… they are civilians…" Alexi whispered on and Talis put a hand on Kyera's shoulder.

"Princess?" He asked softly, knowing they wouldn't have orders till she spoke.

"They left no one alive here. Not a bloody person alive. Still, have the younger knights, Heathrow, Oslo, and Race search for survivors. The rest of us must make our way to the palace, or we will face the same destruction there." Kyera replied her voice suddenly monotone. No one questioned her. They moved to obey. She looked to the sky. The dragon's were following, She raised two fingers and made a circular motion. "Let this land know your fury." Kyera cried to the low circling twins.

Within seconds of her command the low roars of two dragons filled the air as the storm twins shot straight up into the clouds. Within seconds the wind began to sweep across the land at an alarming rate. No one knew what to think as the clouds went from their soft white to the boldest grey black they had seen in a long time. The winter suddenly became brutal, more brutal than anything this area had ever seen before. The army made haste through the forest toward the palace. Kyera and the royals staying at the front, discussing strategy as the snow began to fall. The storm Twins worked hard and whipping this small snow storm into a raging blizzard.

"This is going to make it hard on our warriors…" Damar pointed out and Kyera looked at Viren.

"This is my fight." Kyera told him gently and Clovis nodded, knowing it was true. There was no way to get away from the truth.

"It is our kingdom." Alexi pointed out and Kyera nodded at him, completely in agreement.
