Chapter 2

POV: Ashlynn Miller
- Ashlynn was wet, not just damp or soaked but wet to her bones.

- Ash was standing at the top of the guard tower in the village of Lindale.

- This was the last night of the current patrol and in the morning she would be heading back to the Patrol Division's frontier outpost Havenguard

- The storm rolled in late in the afternoon and it has been raining steadily ever since Ashlynn had taken her guard shift.

- The only reason she was out here was because the storm was too strong for the village's warden owl.

- Her rain gear had long since become soaked through

- It was hard to see anything through this downpour, a Quill-Back could have gotten into the village even with someone on watch.

- The trapdoor behind her opens as Tad one of the Patrol veterans with her in Lindale comes to take his shift.

- As Ashynn goes back inside she catches a bit of movement out of the corner of her eye. But when she turned to look there was nothing there.

- Inside the tower the was a fire crackling in the hearth.

- The two other veterans that were posted here were snoring in their bunks, Hav and Ben.

- Ash strung up a close line in from of the fire and stated to dry her clothes while getting warm by the fire.

- As she warmed up, the fatigue started to seep in and she fell asleep.
