lyrics

The storm had not been kind to the army. Horses and men had been lost during the downpour. Countless supplies had gone along with them. Normally a storm might not be so damaging but this one had been mighty. Before most men could wake the winds were blowing their tents away, acting as a natural wake up call. Soldiers stumbled through the gust filled air towards horses, some of which had already run away afraid of the oncoming storm. That’s when the torrent of rain drops began to fall from above. The soft earth underneath them quickly turned into a large field of mud. Winds whipped mud and grass about in a whirlwind, temporarily blinding soldiers who were looking for cover or higher ground. By the time the storm subsided only half of the army remained and only a third of the horses. Few wagons had made it through the night, most lying in pieces across the muddy earth.

Day broke and the army began collecting what remained of supplies. With only a handful of horses to carry supplies, soldiers began carrying everything they could. It was only a few hours before they had salvaged what they could and decided to continue onward. Just as the storm had not treated the army kindly, it didn’t show the road much mercy. What had been a well tended guide toward their destination was now a trench of grass and mud. Rocks that had outlined the road lay strewn about in every different direction, no longer conveying a path that made any sense. After much deliberation the army decided to stay on higher ground, aiming for the mountains between them and the capital. Having fewer men and no wagons made it possible to get through the ice caverns carved out inside the body of the mountain range. However, this didn’t mean it would be easy...
