ASTHIA DARCK'S POV:
My mind attempted to piece together the current information at hand as we zoomed through the air at ridiculous speeds only possible for wyverns.
Were we betrayed?
No, that didn't seem right. A betrayal of human forces would've simply meant an alliance between the Dominion forces and Imania, meaning the Dwarven army currently marching through Imania would also contain humans.
So they hadn't turned their backs on us, but then why were there zero defenses preventing the Dwarven armies from opening up a third front?
Being encircled was the worst-case-scenario for a nation in times of war. Mother had taught me everything that had to do with battle and leadership at a young age as soon as Jay had left Lares. Upon his departure, my real training had begun, and the intensive lessons I endured every day shaped me into who I was today.
Then did that mean we were simply a bait to lure out the enemy forces?
