Warriors of the One (Wine of the Gods Book 16) by
Pam Uphoff
A short story in the Empire of the One, shortly after the novel (no longer free) Empire of the One (Wine of the Gods Book 14)
As Fort Rangpur fell to the Imperial army, the last Warrior of the One and a half trained teenager were sent with the few dependents to shelter in a dimensional bubble. They emerged to find themselves in a very different sort of world than the one they'd left, just a few minutes ago. Just a thousand years ago.
They weren't prepared for this world--and the world was not prepared for the return of two warriors, honed in a desperate war.
