Ambush at the Rajkur Temple

The Ambush at the Rajkur Temple, is a skirmish in the Rys-Nevrakis Conflict, in which soldiers of the Nevrakis Family attempt to kill Kenna Rys and her monk supporters.

Prelude
Two years following the Massacre at Stormholt, Luther Nevrakis spent most of his time asserting his dominance over Stormholt and the rest of The Five Kingdoms. His son Marco, however, preferred to send scouting parties after the exiled princess, Kenna Rys, much to his father's dissapointment, since he didn't consider Kenna that much of a threat.

But one day, one of Marco's scouting parties managed to find Kenna, hiding in a Rajkur Temple. Kenna, along side her bodyguard Gabriel, managed to kill every member of the group, except one, who remained hidden in the woods.

This scout later reported Kenna's position to Marco, which led him to send a small Nevrakis army after Kenna and her supporters.

The Ambush
After Dominic discovered that Marco planned to ambush Kenna, he immediately sent her a message with his hawk, warning her of the danger she was in. This allowed her to prepare a counter-attack.

Kenna and Gabriel hid in the forest just outside of the monastery, since that's the only road in which anyone from Stormholt can come to, armed with swords and bows. They calmly waited for the Nevrakis assassins to appear, after a while, three Nevrakis Soldiers appear along the path. Kenna nocks an arrow with her longbow, takes aim, and fires, killing one of the soldiers with a headshot. Another soldier hears his comrade dying, but before he can spot Kenna, she kills him with an arrow to the neck.

The last soldier notices Kenna and charges her with his axe, but she kills him either with her bow or with her melee weapon.

Shortly after, Kenna and Gabriel hear horses galloping, and they see many Nevrakis Soldiers crossing the forest, some on horseback, some on foot. They then realize that Marco didn't just send a squad after them, he sent a whole army.

Kenna and Gabriel run back to the monastery in order to warn the monks, but it was too late: the Nevrakis Soldiers put the monastery to the torch, and the monks were forced to escape from their home, all except one, Kenna's training master, who was captured by Bartel Gremley and Helene Leventis.

Kenna wants to show herself and save the monk, but Gabriel warns her that if she does that, she risks destroying everything the monks fought for. She agrees with him and quietly sneaks away from the scene.

Aftermath
This event forced Kenna and Gabriel to wander the grasslands for a few days, until they stumbled upon Val Greaves and Will Jackson, two members of a large mercenary band led by Severin Cale.

Val and Jackson took Kenna and Gabriel to Severin's camp, where she reunited with Leon Stirling, her mother's Captain of the Royal Guard. However, their reunion was cut short when Severin recognized Kenna and took her captive, intending to sell her to the Nevrakis Family.
