"Signs of the war for Freefolk Independence was hidden, but it was there all the same. Earth scorched by magic flame did not yield for generations, so bare spots on the road or in the fields to a trained eye were markers of a battle that had happened some time back. Glassed sand, mostly still glossed and unbroken, centered most of the scorches on the road Cora was travelling. There was some sort of conflict on this road years ago, for certain. This close to the coast, and a ferry on the trail, made this a heavily used route. There were camps lining this road during the war, most likely. Camps from both sides at different times, with the ebb and flow of victory. Townspeople from all over would have been forced into conscription. Lenny might’ve had a story to tell; though Cora would have declined to hear them. Memories are different than stories. Inconvenient are the stories that are too uncomfortable to hear, though so much more for those who have to remember the tale like it was yesterday."
