“ We can’t go through with this. They said they’d burn it out of us!”
“ Ha, I’d like to see them try.” I chuckle. What made them think that would actually work? 
“ I think they are..”
It doesn't take long for me to realize what they are talking about. I turn around to see the whole village has gathered. In their midst is a big fire, blinding me as I look right at it. What have I done?

After your city is burned down, your family nowhere to be found, what do you do? You run. Soteira and Ipp do exactly that to survive. But what happens when you realise that you’ve got nothing to run to? Do you stop and give up? Or do you fight? This is a choice that only Soteira can make. Will her new found friends back her up, or will she have to fight for their freedom on her own? No one has the courage to stand up against the King, but maybe Soteira will be able to live up to her name. Maybe she really will be the city's saviour.
