“Do you think they’ll succeed?” Alivia’s melodic voice was raised to be heard above the howling wind, but still it sounded as if she were far away.
Coryn did not take her eyes from the procession. “If they do not, then everything will have been for naught. I pray to the Founders that they will succeed. The scouts tell me that the Krai’kesh stopped. They are,” she choked back tears and cleared her throat, “feasting on…the spoils of victory.” She could not bring herself to say “the dead”.
“What will we do when they arrive?”
“Pray for a miracle.”

The north wind blew across the broken battlefield as the leader of the Krai’kesh surveyed his horde. They feasted on the corpses of those they had slain. As the leader watched, two of his minions began to fight over one of the corpses. Soon they would grow restless, and they would move on. A hum, ever-present in the back of his mind, indicated the direction of the human power source that they so desired. They would destroy any humans that stood in their way, claiming the pitiful world they were on in the name of the Krai’kesh Empire.
