I feel like this is enough: Ciran has emerged as the prophesied leader who will challenge the Empire's iron grip on Perinthia. With the aid of his growing army of deserters and a partnership with a fierce turquoise dragon, he's quickly spreading hope, and cutting Empire supply lines.
The Empire however is not ready to fall. Responding to a growing discontent amongst the soldiers as the food supply shrinks, the officers have turned their arrows directly at the dragon rider's chest, for they understand him to be the heart of the resistance.
But a successful revolution is not won by only one man, and even a prophet must understand his own limits. The success of the revolution hangs on Ciran's ability to build a coalition of capable others to lean on and lead with him, for his fate is not so certain.
