Not but hours previously, Saizhou stood amongst his companions, handing to each of them the tools and rations they'd need when they got to the wall. To each one, he gave a resolute nod and a firm grip, knowing that he would be seeing each one of them by his side at the wall in just a short while.

Yet now Saizhou sat amongst his companions, passing out the rations to each of them, the grip he gave no longer as firm, his expression no longer as resolute as he saw in each of them the past that did not come to pass. A somber dip of the head and a few muttered words of encouragement were all he could manage to give.

"We have been given this second chance, we are not the ones to waste it, do not worry."

He settled down by the foreigners of their party, giving each a firm nod before he stared at the fire silence alongside them, waiting for dawn to break, or the horns to sound.
