The firstborn

In most wars, silence was something that wasn't heard on the battlefield. It was mostly filled with the sound of metals, cries, and deaths. However, the silence of tonight was enough to make everyone stay up. Not just Ismael and Veronika, but most of the monarchs in the safe castle were either pacing back and forth or holding their own small meetings. 

Strangely enough, these people would rather hear people fighting, so they had an idea of the situation. Instead of just holding their breaths every time the ground shook, or the furniture swayed as if there was an earthquake. 

The uncertainty of what was happening and what to expect the next second was nerve-wracking.
