Location: Westface, Terraversa
Type: Terraversan Support Build
"Form an Orderly Line, and please leave all non-essential belongings on the bridge." Shouted a Terraversan Soldier through a megaphone. People bustled and murmered on the small bridge, one of several on the Drake River.
As Oleon had invaded the island, civillians had fled to the last safe bastion of Teraversa, Westface.
"Name?" Asked the screener.
"Harold Burton." Said the Refugee.
"Occupation?" Continued the screener.
"Cobbler." Replied the Refugee.
"Can you fight?" Asked the screener, this time with a tinge more emotion.
"No." said the old refugee, sadly.
Further down the line, children cried, and a pig squealed, the only belonging a farmer had been able to take out of his home.
Things deemed 'useless' by the Terraversan authorities were cast to the side of the bridge.

While they were glad to be alive, there was little hope in the eyes of the refugees. Soon, Oleon would sweep west, and they'd be forced to submit, or flee Terraversa altogether.
Under the muskets of the soldiers, stationed to prevent panic or worse, Oleander armies, the line moved slowly onwards.
Truly, these were dark times for Terraversa.
FIN
C&C appreciated. This is a bit darker of a build, but I'm happy with how it turned out. I briefly considered a bridge battle scene, but I've been enjoying painting the different angles of the conflict. Lighting isn't as good as I hoped it would be, it was sunny enough to not have to use my usual set up, so I thought I'd try with sunlight instead. I'm not sure if it worked as well, so I might retake the photos. Thanks for viewing!
