The sun rose higher in the sky, casting its warm light over the encampment, yet the atmosphere remained heavy with anticipation. Amara stood atop a makeshift platform, surveying her comrades as they worked diligently to fortify their defenses. The scent of fresh timber and the sounds of hammers striking nails filled the air, mingling with the murmurs of strategizing warriors.
Today marked the beginning of their preparations, and she felt a sense of urgency that spurred her into action. Zara would not wait for them to be ready; she was a master of manipulation and surprise.
"Listen up!" Amara called, raising her voice to cut through the noise. The warriors paused, turning their attention toward her. "Today, we focus on fortifying our defenses and solidifying our communication. We must work together, sharing everything we know about Zara's tactics and movements."
