The war was on and there would be no turning back. If the enemy refused to surrender, they'd call no quarter.

He surveyed his rag-tag crew of misfits positioned across the jagged cliffs where cold, wet, salted waves crashed. They’d all die for the new #ideology. Owen released his falcon, his voice bellowing over the royal airhorn,

The young woman slid open the black-out drapes; the unfamiliar city skyline greeted my awakening. Staying silent, I sat up, searching for a clue.
"You remember anything?" she asked.
"Hmph" a feeble laugh-like sound escaped as I #probed my mind for any memory.

Julie and Blaze could bring that light...if his plans worked. And if they didn't...
