      Prologue

      Landon spun around to the cries rising in the distance. Clamorous noises of battle added to the cacophony of terror. He squinted at the teetering ball of fire on the horizon. When the radiance was too much, he turned away and looked about him. To the south, he saw a group of soldiers and townsfolk engaged in a one-sided fight. Blood pooled at the soldiers’ feet. To the east, he saw a mass of frightened children and woman hurrying together to find shelter from the enemy. Dirt mixed tears coated their faces. A few brave men armed with metal poles led them fending off a few lone soldiers standing in their way. The soldiers easily cut them down, but their sacrifice allowed the women to get their children to safety. In the west, houses and shops made of wood and straw burned in a large blaze. Livelihoods were being destroyed. In the north, he saw a group of strong men, some carrying swords, some with axes, others with simple farming tools running together towards the fight to the south. Everywhere he saw others not fighting but gathering their families to desert their home. He saw women watching over their children as they hurried them along the road. A lone voice rose above all of it, Someone grab some more buckets!

      His hair was dark and shimmered in the growing twilight. His face was blackened from soot and ash from the myriad fires he had been working hard to put out. His tunic was tattered with a slight spattering of blood along his right side. His biceps bulged as he flung a pail full of water onto a new fire that cropped up. A line of men behind him worked efficiently providing the buckets of water in an assembly line of fruitless hope. Away in the distance a group of new screams along with the breaking of wood and scraped metal erupted as the soldiers broke through an abruptly made defense wall. The man leading the assembly line called a new order.

      Men! Defend your wives, your children, and your freedom!

      He grabbed a great sword that had been lying on the ground near his feet and sprinted towards the explosion. The others followed suit with a roar of fury. Landon now stood alone and frozen in his spot. He heard rumor that something like this could happen, but he never
