The day after that, the merchant train is readying to leave. Evan is reluctant, unhappy, uncertain, but has no idea what to do about it. As the wagons roll out of town, a group of horsemen rides with them - Walt, Colbert, Person, and Espera, extra security to get them to the staging post where the next escort will meet them. Evan is glad that Walt is with them, glad he’ll get to see him for that little bit longer. It’ll be a smooth transfer, the escorts just a formality.
An hour down the road, everything goes to hell in a handbasket as red-skinned figures stream out of the woods, roaring battlecries.
It’s the first daylight attack that Evan has experienced, or ever heard of. He has about a minute to wonder why, and then they’re fighting for their lives - and everything is a series of snippets.
A warped, red-skinned face, misshapen by horns and thick fangs - Huh. That’s not what they’re supposed to look like.Colbert thundering past the wagon, sword reaping a heavy toll
