"With a small number of rafts, The Prince leads his people northward to The Great Fortress, believng that his father, The Emperor will have fared better through the Evernight, only to discover that The Great Fortress is destroyed, and his father is dead."

Once the Prince and his guards get to the harbor, they board some fully stocked rafts, and flee The Mining Town. The slaves are too busy tearing down the temple to see them flee in the darkness. The Prince, his Bodyguard, and The Priest, along with a handful of soldiers soon overtake another group fleeing the city. The Rival, a noble who was closer to the harbor when the trouble started, had time to load a small fortune of gold and copper onto his rafts, but is having trouble moving them northward. The Prince claims command of both groups, and when the Rival objects, the Bodyguard reminds him that traitors to the crown get executed. The Rival stands down, and some of his rafts are dumped to make room for more suplies. The Prince meets The Astronomer, who assures him she can navigate the rafts to The Great Fortress, if the clouds ever lift. Several days after their escape, the sun finally returns, though it seems weak, and cold. The Prince performs a sacrifice of supplies at the prompting of the Priest, in order to win the favor of the gods, despite having no faith in the actions himself.

Their journey doesn't improve. They reach a point as they travel northward where the trees are all fallen, as if the ocean had knocked down the entire land. Foraging gets harder at this point, and tempers flare between the Prince and the Rival, who's lack of supplies put a strain on the entire group from the start. Finally they reach the turn for heading inland to reach the Great Fortress of the Emperor. Unloading the rafts, and travelling on foot, the Rival is finally forced to abandon the last of his gold and copper riches. Before they reach the Great Fortress, they are attacked by the wild Ape Men, who shouldn't have been able to reach this far south normally. The Great Fortress is empty, it's holdings burnt and broken, evidence of a slave uprising. They find a pile of dead, burnt and abandoned, an effort to stave off disease after the uprising. Everyone's gone or dead. The group settles in for a time, gathering food, and eventually drawing the attention of some slave children who were hiding in the ruins being tended to by a young slave woman who sees herself as their protector. The Prince consults with his closest friends to decide what to do next.

No fist pump this time, I've been gone from this project for the entire holiday season, and it's a little stale. I'm not sure if this is more like a paragraph or a page. Either way, I'm off for work.
