The fifth day did not just belong to Kael and the others who had gone beyond the Walls, recruiting tribes that they once considered their enemies and changing the very history of the Heights that hadn't changed for more than twelve hundred years—
It belonged to something else too.
Something… that was quieter but, at the same time, had the potential to have a far stronger effect in the long future.

After the bombing incident, after the Stormcallers cowardly attacked the Stonefangs, after the Stonefang children cried in pain while their blood mixed with the snow beneath them—
The Stonefangs changed.
At first, they were angry.
Their anger flared, their eyes craved blood, but the fact that the Stormcallers were far away and their territory was impossible to attack made them feel… helpless. Even the strongest Stonefang Warriors were no different.
But everything changed when Kael made a move.
