The glow from the newly-built buildings cast soft light across the surrounding land.
Warm smoke curled from the Field Kitchen.
The sound of water running through the new piping system brought a sense of peace.

"This is great," one of the soldiers said.
"Yeah. We can start a new life over here."
"When you said that, somehow the life under Elder Harran and Protector Vareth were pretty harsh."
A few soldiers nodded before their bodies trembled when they recalled their lives before.
