(Kael) Two hours after the massive eastern border attack, Magnus hits us again. I'm in the medical wing getting my shoulder treated when the mind link opens. It's Brent again. 'Alpha! Eastern border under attack! Silverpeak is back!' I'm already running. Dr. Monroe shouts behind me but I don't stop. Don't have time. 'All fighters to the eastern border!' I order through the mind link. 'Silverpeak is attacking again!' I shift to Thunder and race toward the eastern border. Rowan, Cassian, and Thorne are already there. They never left after the first attack. When I arrive, the battle is already fierce. Garret is leading again. But his force is smaller this time. Maybe sixty warriors. They lost fighters in the first attack. They learned from the first attack. They know where we're weak.
