Dawn arrived with the sound of war horns. Nyx woke up instantly. Raziel was already up, partially shifted, and standing at the window.
"They're here." He said. "Earlier than expected. Darius didn't wait for full dawn, he's attacking in the pre dawn darkness."
Nyx stood beside him, looking out. In the dim light, she could see hundreds of warriors walking towards the palace. Most were wolf but there were few bears, serpents and hawks as well.
"He has got warriors from every kingdom except ours." Kira said as she stood by the door.
"How many?" Razeil asked her as they turned towards Kira.
"At least seven hundred. He brought everyone who hates hybrids." She replied.
"Seven hundred?" Nyx muttered. "We're outnumbered almost two to one."
"It's event worse. Our forces include a lot of inexperienced forsaken. He has trained warriors who've fought before." Raziel said.
