The land was dry, but fresh with the blood and flames of a battle, which had just ended. Prince Redwood was tired, but his spirit was not broken. He knew the Leafwings could win this war. Negotiations with Queen Sequoia were not going as well though, as Queen Wasp denied her requests to see the Book of Clearsight. Redwood had just returned to the kingdom, and was on one of the outer villages with the army. He was currently in the infirmary tent, making sure the other soldiers were alright. Many were, and the ones that weren’t would still serve as scouts or retire. Redwood didn’t like that the injured soldiers couldn’t find peace in retirement, but they were already losing the war, and didn’t have much of a choice but to use all they could.
