Strained Passage
On the following day, the sun ascended to the sky, casting a warm glow on the land. Like any other city, Norish awakened from its slumber.
Its streets are slowly filled with activity. Merchants set up their stalls, townsfolk hurried to their daily tasks, and the air buzzed with a sense of renewed vitality.
Meanwhile, farmers began to make their way out of the city to tend to their fields that lay beyond Norish's walls.
However, today was different. Today, they moved under the protection of the Inver soldiers.
During the entirety of the night and until now, the guards of Norish remained vigilant.
They didn't let their eyes stray away from the camp out of fear that the thousand of Inverloch soldiers may be plotting something. The tension was palpable throughout the night.
