DISCLAIMER: I don't own any characters. Only the plot.
"FALL BACK!" My commander shouted above the ring of swords, "PROTECT THE FORT!" It really surprises me that Commander Goodwin is still able to speak, let alone shout. She has been bellowing orders to troops ever since the siege on Fort Pandora started, four days ago. I am Alice, a squire to the knight Xerxes Break. I am 15 years old with purple eyes that some people find disconcerting and brown hair that is nearly as long as I am tall which happens to be about 5'3. Sir Break and I have been called in to investigate a mystery. Somehow the enemy, the Skandians, always know our plans and weaknesses. Fort Pandora won't last much longer if we don't figure out who's spying on us and how. We were called in last week, Three days before the siege started. We would've been called in sooner but we were busy dealing with the pirates along the coasts. It is raiding season after all. But then one of our most powerful mages fell. By the hand of someone in this fort. Now the commanders are getting worried. Prince Jack is coming in six days with 200 reinforcements. It wouldn't be very safe if we had a spying assassin in the fort now would it?
Sorry for the short chapter! Just to let you know they probably won't get any longer.
