Day 7: Balancing The Scales
[/size]Door of Destiny
"Tell me good news, commander."
The replacement soldier is young, but able. I have seen too many new faces come and go these past few days.
They say a father should never outlive his children. A shame that it's considered practical for a leader to do the same in regards to his force.
"We've held the line, sir. Their offensive has withdrawn for the night."
I can show neither joy nor relief, merely acceptance. There is still far to go.
"Very well. Ensure the men on watch are relieved. They will need to be rested for the next offensive."
"Yes, sir."
He departs into the night, and I return my attention to the map before me.
They are closing in, that much is certain.
The closer they draw to their goal, the sooner defeat will befall them.
It is not wise to provoke a wolf with no means of retreat.
