Solitude and Strength

A company of knights are sent on a mission over the mountains to scout the area surrounding their home city of Lindor, and to clear out any evil-intending vagabonds. In a few brutal hours, the knights are wiped out by a large team of random assassins, and Solum finds himself to be the only survivor,
Or so it seems.
Viribus, a squire who isn't even supposed to be there, is wounded in the fight. Solum finds out from Viribus that Lindor was invaded, and defeated, by strange warriors clothed in white. With winter right around the corner, Solum and his injured companion must decide whether to go back to their city and risk capture, or to take the long route over the other side of the mountains to the foreign city Cel, and face the unknown dangers of the Silvestry Mountains alone.
