This time I was the one who fell asleep, having lied through my teeth previously. |

Kayla stayed awake, occasionally flicking her eyes between Gale and Malakai |

Eventually I awoke, having not realized I did so. "Shit. . ." |
| |
|

"I fell asleep," I muttered, standing and stretching as one of my highest ranking commanders walked in. I turned to face him, my expression instantly stoning. "Commander, what is it that brings you here?" I questioned, the man flicking his gaze to Malakai before back to me. "Sir, you're needed. The southern borders have been breeched. Four towns raided, 12,850 casualties." |

Kayla cursed under her breath, moving to get up. "Get my horse and weapons. I'll go" She said, gritting her teeth as she stood uncomfortably and got dressed in the dress from the day prior |

|

|
"Kayla, stay here with Malakai. He needs you more than the battlefield does." I assured, voice soft, yet my tone was an order. |
| |
|
| |
|
"Gale, I'm their queen. I have to go." She said, pulling on her boots even though the pain was blinding |
