Just above the ridgeline, a golden-tinted sunrise reflects light off gleaming rooftops. Dwellings nestled in the hillside lie quiet, basking in the morning glow. A prevailing quiet has settled, and a hare emerges from the bush. The creature hesitantly investigates its surroundings and stops at the foot of a stone well. It is spring now. A gust of wind ruffles the new leaves of an oak tree. On the backs of a blue-green pond, a duck nest in the spring.

A distant report and the bird seems to pause, momentarily suspended in midair, then falls to Earth.

A cannon round came in with a shriek and slammed into the side of the building, knocking a gold-framed painting from the plaster wall. Aster bent over and examined the objet dart, an impressive rendering of the State Palace in Sebastopal. How could it come to this? An army of rebelsa confederation of farmers led by the Old Guard, the pariahs of their society, had dealt blow after blow to the mighty imperial army.
