A Stand Worth Taking by Wysatine

"Hopkins, your courage and willingness to fight is admirable, but in the current moment, it borders on idiocy." "Captain Rhodes," Hopkins began. "I speak to you not with impertinence or lack of respect. No, I speak to you with a heart of passion, an undying love for my kingdom, a people for which I would give my life without a moment's hesitation." Hopkins turned to face his fellow soldiers. "If we surrender here, who's to say we won't be dooming ourselves further down the road of conflict? Who's to say that this isn't the battle that could turn the tide of war?" ---------------------------- Captain Rhodes and his passionate, but also inexperienced, band of men have been stationed at a vital fort posted at the Southern border, safe from the conflict that rages up North. Or so they thought. When a scout returns from his rounds bearing grave news, the defense of the fort is left to Rhodes and his men. Loyalties are questioned, supplies run low, and reinforcements are still days away, that is, if reinforcements are even coming.

Agatha is an ill-tempered boarding school student inside whose mind a secret has been implanted by the secretive Order of Remembrance; Tristan is a clumsy dreamer looking for his occasion to perform heroic deeds. Keeping fugitive Agatha safe for a single night seems Tristan's great occasion, but he doesn't know he's going to get way more than he bargained for. For nineteen centuries, the ancient machines called Faraway Bridges have connected the Lands Beyond, the remote places where mankind dwells, but now the Bridges are dying and crossing them is almost lethal. Hiding in fortified abbeys, the Libraries, the Order of Remembrance has the mission of finding a way to heal the Bridges before they become impassable, but the Awakening League wants to seize control of the Bridges for its own plans of conquest, and is storming the Libraries one by one to steal the Order's knowledge. Caught in the crossfire of the centuries-long war between the Order of Remembrance and the Awakening League, chased by monsters and machines across lands and skies, Tristan and Agatha embark on a quest to unveil the secret inside Agatha's mind, and end up realizing that Agatha is the key to an ancient power that can heal their dying world.
