Liat jerked awake, breathing heavily, her body covered in sweat.
In her dream, she'd seen herself fighting in the war with the Clan.
She'd seen a Bandsman stab her.
She'd watched herself go down, unable to do anything to stop it.

She would die in battle.

With one last look at the village she'd called home, she headed into the darkness of the trees.
