This is a small grassy area located under a large oak tree.  There are two home made wooden crosses set up along with mounds where the bodies are buried.

residents of the cottage
I am a resident in the royal village of the kings kingdom. I work as a seamstress for the queen and her court. I love my job.
Hello. I see you are injured. Do you need help? I am a prisoner from the other side. I have been beaten and interrogated almost to death, but I will never break. Free me if you can! I dare not break you free! I work for the queen herself and she would have my head! You are no use for me then! Will you tell me what the news is in the town? Any word of me or an invasion? I can at least help dress your wounds. I may not betray my queen, but I understand there are horrible things happening. There are whispers in our village. Why did you people come here?! I was caught sneaking around snooping to find information for my kingdom. We wish to seize it! Thank you, oh kind one, for healing and dressing my wounds. I do hear many things in my line of work for the royals, but I dare not ever ask questions or speak my opinion. If I lost my job, I would be so distraught. There will be more prisoners like you on both sides. I cannot bear the thought of all this. Think of how I feel. I am punished because I will not betray my kingdom. Don't you understand? Yes. I bow my head to you in respect. I know you are brave and we are from similar mindset, just from opposite sides of a coin. Now, will you help me? I do not want you to end up in one of these graves. Yes, I will help you. Are you well enough to walk? I am all bloodied up in shackles and have not tried. Help me see?
