Things were abuzz in the Faey Kingdom. The nobles and other affluent families were preparing for the inevitable.
The Squall family had heard from their father through a corvus corax that they needed to alarm their people of impending daemon attacks.
Amara was overseeing the twins' training when the raven bird flew over and knocked its beaks on their windows. Anatalia and Philline were the first to notice and the ladies of Squall Manor hurried over to let the messenger bird in.
It flew and swooped down to drop a piece of paper rolled into a scroll.
Once Amara had the letter in her hands, the bird instantly flew away and left as if on a hurry to deliver another message.
The wife of Amihan Squall carefully picked up the piece of paper which was tied with a little bronze string. She untied the knot and the girls hunched over their mother, curious of what news it was sent.
