I stood at the ridge overlooking the narrow approach road, breath slow, fingers numb inside my gloves, and watched our archers finish collecting arrows from bodies that had never made it past the choke point. War makes accountants of us all. Count the arrows you can reuse. Count the wounded who can still stand. Count the dead later, when there’s time to feel it.

"You won't? Then don't blame me for what happens next." Ariel moved forward, backing Ella toward the edge of the pond. Just as Ella was about to shove Ariel into the water, she spotted Remi approaching in the distance. A strange smile curved her lips. Ella grabbed something and threw it into the pond. "Ms. Slater, no!" Ella suddenly screamed. "That's my son's christening medal! Remi just got it for him a few days ago! He's been sick ever since you hurt him, and this medal was protecting him!
