Intelligence told the High Command that the Mar Tabban, arch enemies of the Citizens' Army, had moved into the territory garrisoned by Larian's Regiment. In response, the Regimental Commander sent the B company scouts, Larian's unit, out to investigate. On his first operational assignment, Larian has to overcome inexperience and his own fear and uncertainty if he wants to survive and get the information his Regiment needs to emerge victorious.
First Blood is a 3,500 word fantasy short story, the third story of Larian's adventures.
Larian's earlier adventures are detailed in How NOT To Rescue A Damsel In Distress and Measuring Up.
