Kingdom of Puronia: Frontlines

The military tent felt strangely suffocating.
It's been a month since Avery has served her time and assistance in the frontline border.
Avery sat alone on one side of the captain's desk, her arms folded tightly across her chest as she waited for him to speak. The canvas walls of the tent shifted whenever the wind passed through the encampment, making the lantern hanging above them sway gently from side to side.
Outside, soldiers moved between the tents, their boots pressing against the dirt as muffled conversations drifted through the canvas.
Normally, she would be relaxing and playing with her pet familiar during days off but for some reason… The captain wasn't being chill like usual.
Avery couldn't shake the uneasy feeling sitting heavily in her stomach.
She had been summoned here without explanation.
Again.
