(POV: James) I rode at the front of the cavalry column alongside Sabriel and Alexander as we galloped at full speed across the open plains toward the occupied silver mines, and the morning wind whipped past our faces as the rocky hills loomed closer on the horizon, and I looked over at Sabriel to make sure she was keeping pace, and she flashed me a confident smile while urging her horse forward across the dusty trail, and Alexander raised his hand to signal the riders behind us to tighten the formation because we were entering the narrow pass where the terrain became difficult to navigate, and I shouted over the thunder of hooves to ask Alexander how much further we had to go before reaching the main gates of the mine, and Alexander yelled back that we were less than a mile away from the lower ridge, and a main event happened right then when an enemy blockade of armored wolf guards suddenly ambushes the column from behind a rocky ridge, launching a barrage of heavy spears, and I swin

(POV: Zareth) I climbed up a steep cliffside overlooking the narrow mountain pass, using my silver magic to track the hidden positions of the enemy archers hiding among the boulders, and every breath I took drew power from the earth beneath my boots, making my senses sharper than ever before as I scanned the rocky ledges for any remaining threats, and Kaelor walked up beside me to check if I was holding up alright after the sudden skirmish in the canyon, and I turned to him with a reassuring smile and told him that my oracle energy was fully stable and that I could sense the rest of the enemy scouts retreating toward the valley floor, and Kaelor nodded and called out to the guards to secure the prisoners and prepare the horses for the final stretch of the journey toward the silver mines, and a main event happened right then when an enemy assassin leaps out from behind a rock ledge with a poisoned dagger aimed straight at Zareth's back, and Zareth spins around effortlessly and unleash

(POV: MAE) I set up my medical tent right outside the captured control building, treating a steady stream of minor cuts and arrow wounds sustained by the guards during the canyon skirmish, and I pressed a cooling herbal compress against a wounded soldier's forehead while keeping a sharp eye on the prisoners tied up outside, and James walked over to my supply table carrying a box of extra bandages, asking if I needed any more help organizing the jars or if the wounded guards were giving me a hard time, and I smiled and told James that the guards were behaving much better than he ever did when he had a simple scratch, and James laughed and shook his head, telling me that his past injuries were always completely legitimate and life-threatening, and I rolled my eyes playfully and handed him another stack of clean cloths to place on the bench, and a main event happened right then when one of the captured enemy commanders manages to break his ropes and lunges toward Mae with a hidden shiv,

(POV: James) I walked out of the silver mine office wiping coal dust off my forehead, holding the recovered ownership documents high in the air to signal victory to the cheering troops gathered outside, and the crisis at the mines was officially resolved, and the capital economy was safe once again, and Kaelor clapped me on the shoulder while walking past me toward the horses, telling me that holding those papers high was a great way to celebrate our hard-earned victory, and Sabriel stood nearby leaning against her horse with a amused smirk on her face, asking if I was planning to frame those papers or if I just wanted to show off for the guards, and I opened my mouth to make a witty comeback about my impressive leadership skills, and a main event happened right then when James trips over a loose rock and drops the important papers straight down into a muddy puddle, ruining the ink instantly, and Sabriel glares at him with narrowed eyes, while Alexander facepalms and tells James he o

(POV: ZARETH) I rode at the front of the victorious procession as the army returned through the capital gates to cheering crowds lining the stone streets, and children waved small white flags while shopkeepers tossed flower petals over the marching guards, and James and Sabriel rode right behind us chatting animatedly about what food they were going to eat first when they finally made it back to their quarters, and Alexander kept his eyes scanning the crowd with professional watchfulness even though everyone was cheering and celebrating our safe return, and Mae smiled warmly at the families standing along the side of the road who were waving and shouting words of gratitude to the returning medical team, and I turned my head toward Kaelor to ask if he could hear how loud the townspeople were cheering for our guards, and Kaelor smiled proudly and told me that our people deserved this moment of joy after months of worrying about shadow beasts and rogue attacks, and a main event happened
