The screech of steel and blood-chilling screams of death shattered my sleep, plunging me into the midst of a battlefield. I whirled around, completely disoriented, until I realized it was just a vision.
A vast plan spread out beneath me, open and flat like a scroll. A few distant mountains hovered on the horizon, but my gaze was drawn to a mass of stone and enchantments on my left side. Towers soared into the air, built upon fifty-foot walls and bristling with magic cannons and other siege weapons. Soldiers scurried within the courtyards, dragging wounded from the walls and carrying arrows, magic crystals, and supplies back up.
