Chapter 54: Stronger

Listenia was waiting for me outside of Northwall, talking to one of the guards.

"Have you had any problems recently?" Listenia asked, but the guard shook her head as I slowed down to a stop to join them.

"No, but I think they are having some issues with nomads on the north side of the wall. They keep setting up camps next to the wall, which isn't bad in itself," The guard said.

"Yes, but there is the worry of being so close if an attack comes. Do you know why they are coming so close to the wall? Who is it?" Listenia asked.

"Easterners pushed out by the Peekaan again. I'm not sure why the Northerners aren't doing anything about them, but it's not really my place to talk poorly. I assume that the Easterners are still trying to live on the land that the Peekaan took from them fifty years ago," the guard explained, and Listenia nodded and then turned to me.
