The sound was terrible: thousands of voices tinged with panic and desperation. It would take

almost nothing to send them boiling over: a stray shot, a glimpse of the Undying, even just a wrong

word shouted in fear.

It had to be this way, however. An hour before, the chances of the Undying ambushing a convoy

of fleeing refugees were too high. Now, it was less, still high, but low enough to give them hope.

That hope had been bought with the lives of Raevenians dead and yet to die, and Dyrmida had no

choice but to grasp it and let it play out until the end.

“My people!” she called from the balcony. “We will be delivered! Trust in me and in our

soldiers! Believe, and be calm!”

Eyes fell on her. She recognised the fashions of many other cities amongst those of Astelok.

Some of them had been enemies of Astelok in times past. Now, there were no cities. There was just

Raevenia.

A tremendous roar went up from the north. Dyrmida saw the spires of the Dawning Palace

falling, clouds of white marble dust swallowing the pinnacles where Dyrmida had once held court.

The Dawning Palace was close to the centre of the city, and it was one of the most powerful

symbols of Astelok’s culture, of its past. With the Dawning Palace fallen, the rest of Astelok could

not be far behind.

“Fear not!” shouted Dyrmida as panic rippled through the crowds. “They will not reach us! This

I swear!”
