I liked the characters and world building of your story. The depth you were able to achieve in so few words is very impressive. Even though the "allies" didn't team up officially till the end, the theme permeated the whole story thanks to the ancestor council in the first half of the story. If I had to point out a negative, I'd say the ending felt a bit abrupt. It was still good and understandable given the word limit. The large black line on the paper to separate the two scenes helped it a bunch. All in all a wonderful read, thank you.
