That first week of battle on the Brand was devastating. The Flint
convoy lost several warmates, including Seneca's fahrar mates Harvest
and Medge. After 43 years, the group of charr who had bonded as cubs
were down to three: Braun, Markus, and Seneca.
A younger,
newer Flint approached Seneca as they made camp. Battle fatigued and
dispirited, he asked her how she'd survived for so long. Seneca
pushed aside her own feelings of loss and pain to respond with humor.
“Oh, one part luck, two parts good equipment, but mostly just
having a damn fine warband at your back.”
