Blind Eye of the Storm

Shiro's plan had gone to shit. They were outnumbered and crammed into a gorge with no escape. Lance did his best to pick off troops from his perch, but they were tired -- he was tired. They'd been at this for hours now and Lance wasn't sure how much longer he could last. To make matters worse, it seemed like the sun was setting -- maybe a little too fast to be natural.Lance took a quick peak at the sliver of sky above the gorge. Not night, a storm. Thick, heavy clouds hung low; so close they seemed to graze the tops of the cliffs. Great, just what they needed. This was fine, they just had to polish off a few more troops then they could be done with this reconnaissance mission gone wrong. Lance turned his attention back to the task at hand.
