They did not bother to look beneath their
feet.
Neither did the witches leading their three
towers.
The flaming arrows struck the earth with
deadly accuracy, thanks to the Silent
Assassins who wielded those bows.
Right atop the fuse lines that flowed
directly into the pits they’d dug. Just as the
witch towers passed over them.
Blinding flashes broke apart the black sea
of the army. Then the mighty boom.
And then a rain of stone, all Morath’s
forces whirling to see. Providing the right
distraction as Ren, Ilias, and the Silent
Assassins raced on foot to the white horses
hidden behind a snowdrift.
When the flash cleared, when the smoke
was gone, a sigh of relief went down the
walkway.
