Fortia looked over at the ruins of Melukal. Her men and the mages who survived were scouring the city for any of the wounded. Her phone rang suddenly, it was Elassa. With an accusatory tone. "What did you do?"
"What are you talking about?" Fortia snapped back, she wasn't in the mood for that sort of talk right nw.
Elassa fell silent for a moment. "You don't know?"
"I have just lost some forty thousand soldiers Elassa, I'm no-" Elassa interrupted her again.
"Check the news." Fortia opened the news on her phone. The blood drained from her face as her eyes widened. Every station was reporting the same thing: an image of Melukal ablaze. Fortia read the first title: 'Peace comes to Melukal'.
