As the enemy prepares another assault, will the defenders survive?

In Crumbling Walls, we return to the Larian settlement, beneath a battered sky and behind a fractured wall. The tension amongst the defenders is coiled tight, ready to snap. Strange creatures mill about just beyond the damaged walls, regrouping their numbers as they prepare a fresh charge. Despite the dangers to his people, a lone commander clings to a fragile sliver of hope. Their resources are low. The morale is even lower. Yet they must hold the line to buy time for the soldiers who ventured into the forest in search of allies.

Behind the Scenes:
When I reached for this story from Wattpad, I flew back into my past as I sat down to write this scene. I wanted to create a moment that highlighted the precarious nature of this fledgling colony. After a seasoned edit, the emotional core, resilience in the face of despair, rose to the surface.
