One Week Later Zell read the reports again and again, hoping they would make more sense. What exactly 'The Harvester' was sounded impossible. But then, so did wights praying. It just got worse from there. Jackson's hand was unmade. Svetlana summoned Cold Step...

Year 683 Garrison Headquarters, Gilnas City Jackson was nervous. This was going to be his first assignment outside of the capital, and he didn't want to disappoint. But he was standing in front of the Praetor right now, he couldn't show nerves. "Nervous, so...
