It wasn't long before the trail led them to their destination. The massive black silhouette of Fort Kastav glowered down at them from a spot higher up the mountain, and even though the snowstorm limited their ability to see, it was clear that there were soldiers patrolling the battlements. Makoru had already unsheathed Bloodharvest and turned to Jack, expecting an amazing battle strategy.

"Everybody spread out and take down all the soldiers you can. If we don't kill them now, they'll only come back for us later. Head for the fortress, we'll regroup once we're inside," Jack ordered, and even as he spoke Makoru could see his eyes flash. A darkness that had not shown itself for many years was present in his eyes, but Makoru did not object.

"Claudius, Daithi, you're with me. Everyone else, do what you will with them," Jack added as an afterthought, already turning and vanishing into the snowstorm. Claudius followed, robes swirling in the wind as he disappeared from view.

"Ready for some more bloodshed, old friend?" Makoru asked, turning to Kjalek with a slight smile. Perhaps it would do him some good to bloody his blade with an old ally by his side.
