Chapter 21: The Banner at the Chain
The banner-bearer's pole was still jammed through the gate chain when the fighters behind her poured through the open portcullis.
They came with their own advance signal held high above them.
Carrion reached the chain first.
He got both hands on the pole and tore it free of the links.
Aquas reached for Lucien's left shoulder instead.
Lucien's weight came onto his arm all at once.
The arrow wound had gone through the joint, and the arm would not hold.
Aquas caught him under the chest before he hit the stone.
Their faces ended up close.
Lucien's breath came short against the side of Aquas's neck.
Neither of them stepped back.
'You're bleeding on my coat,' Aquas said.
'It's a good coat,' Lucien said.
Carrion turned the captured banner outward.
The moth and the crescent faced back down the road at Aerial's own front rank.
