Latrel, the coward

The once-unbreakable walls that protected the east part of the capital were down, and a whole army was swarming the capital of Aritreia. The people of the city were still in shock from the tremors. And the armed forces marching through the streets made it even worse. Death seemed nearer than ever.

For a few seconds, fear gripped them so tightly that they didn't even react. The citizens remained frozen. Fear mixed with adrenaline seemed to turn them into stone. But soon, a few of them freed themselves from the constraints of emotions. Their eyes widened with terror, unconsciously taking a step back, preparing to turn around and run away.

And, soon…Chaos erupted across the capital.

"Enemies! They've broken through the wall!" - someone screamed, and the warning spread quickly through the streets like wildfire. Everyone began to run for their lives.
