The deep blue-green forest around Myth Drannor had suddenly become a din of ground-shaking cacophony.

Catapult loads were crashing down on all sides now—huge boulders, heaps of fresh corpses, the trunks of felled trees, and the occasional smoking mass of firewood that the city’s mythal had quenched in midflight—and more than one group of sentries were dashed flat before Storm and her Cormyrean companions could reach them.

“What’s that?” Amarune shouted suddenly from behind Storm, and the bard whirled around in time to see the air to the southwest go from faint blue to blood orange, in a swirling midair stain that spread as if some unseen titan had splashed something orange from the southwest toward the center of Myth Drannor.

As they stared—it actually looked quite pretty, if one set aside all fear of what it probably meant—another and smaller part of the sky, off to the south beyond the roiling amber radiance, abruptly flared apple green.

“Magic, isn’t it?” Arclath hazarded.

Storm nodded, looking grim. “Wizards—arcanists, rather—among the besiegers are hurling spells at the mythal,” she explained. “Not doing much damage that I can see, but of course we must add the word ‘yet’ here, if we cleave to honesty.”

“Look,” Rune hissed insistently, pointing. In the distance, through the trees, the amber radiance flashed and winked back reflections from metal—metal on the move, and a lot of it. The invading army was surging forward.

“The elf lines must have been overwhelmed,” Amarune concluded gloomily.

Even as Arclath nodded and turned to Storm to ask her what they should do now, the high, fluting calls of silver trumpets rang out from the tallest trees and spires at the heart of Myth Drannor.

The call telling the defenders to rally to the breach, and fight to hold the foe back.

Storm sighed, turned around with a wave that bade Arclath and Amarune to come with her, and answered that call.
