Victor had a clouded consciousness, floating between battle dreams and stabbing pain.
He managed to focus enough to see he was passing through a large reinforced stone gate, its edges familiar even through the fog covering his mind.
He was entering the castle.

How many would have already fallen holding back Venmont and his Dragon?
How many of his men had died buying the minutes necessary for him to be evacuated?
Victor tried to speak, ask the soldier carrying him about casualties, about the state of defenses, but his voice emerged as an unintelligible moan.
The soldier ran faster.
