The rider and his horse stood in the gateway of a small fortress located just outside Vardas' port city of Kurinth. It was just before sunrise, and no other living thing was in sight. The man kicked off, and rode for a few minutes south of the fortress, surveying the area. "Fine day for a fight, isn't it Caval?" The man said, as he slowly brought his horse to a halt at the edge of the sea.

With his quiver strapped across his back, and his bow at his side, the man was prepared for the training battle that had been scheduled for the day. With nothing left to do but wait, Alexander Corton, heir to the throne of Vardas, sat on his horse and watched the sunrise.

The sun was high in the sky and that made the armor of Tarnus shine brightly. "Pretty much, a good day to fight.."
Tarnus approaches the other guys waiting outside of the small fortress, ready for the upcoming training battle "It's good to be back on the battlefield..it's damn good."

Niveus awoke before sunrise, excited for the practice skirmish against Leora today. He was waiting to show off his prowess in battle. There was hardly anyone else in sight, but it wouldn't have hurt to be ready for an "ambush." Niveus put his axe on his back, got on his horse, and left the fortress.

As he left the fortress, he rode south and spotted his friend, Alex, by the sea. He appeared to be calm and dozing off, so he came over to him to talk for a little. "Straighten that bow of yours today, Alex?"

"I remember this island... Good times, wouldn't you say Lilith?" Estrella asked the magical knight as her horse galloped to the nearby mountains.

"Sure do. Hey, remember when we stole those ships from the port town?" Lilith replied, smiling. Estrella smiled but shook her head, showing excitement and distaste at the same time.

"You what?!" A voice came from the bottom of the horse. The horse stopped, and Prince Edward dropped down to the grass below him. The girls were shocked to find that their prince had hidden himself under Lilith's steed! "How long ago was this?!" He said as he stood back up.

"What the hell are you doing here?! You need to go back to Abristad. Estrella commanded the prince, but to no avail.

"Hmph, you send me back and I tell the senate you commited treason!" Estella opened her mouth to say something, but couldn't.

"Silly boy. I hope your arms are chopped off." Lilith proclaimed as she rode off with Estrella, leaving him there.

WH__ A__ _O_ _O___ _ROTE__ __E _R_N_E YOU I_I_T!!!

Estrella shuddered. "...Dammit. Lilith, leave me here." The horse stopped and Estrella jumped off. "Duty calls...!"

A wyvern soldier in crimson armor approached the group carrying a bow in his hand and a quiver on his back. He took a glance at the morning sky and smiled.

Ah, what a beautiful sunrise, eh fellas? Where are those Leorans at?

A couple soldiers gave him a weird look and he then decided not to speak up to attract attention. He knew that soon the fight would begin, and that it would only be the beginning of countless battles, ones he may not even survive. The endless fear of dying without living his life his fullest haunted him every minute of the day.

Sitting at the edge of the camp in isolation, Karth was watching the sunrise over the battlefield, taking note of its beauty and also the features of the battlefield he could use to his advantage. Rather dismayed by the lack of forestry and abundance of mountains, he decided to take note of his allies. Being the most defensive unit of the army, he conjectured that he'd have to take the front line, the only place to really get something done...

"I'd be ashamed to be sitting here if it wasn't," Alex replied without turning, "But it's good to know you care about my morning routine, cousin." Alexander smiled and turned to his friend, noting the way he sat on his horse. "Excited about today? Don't get too worked up; this battle is merely a way for us to test our strength." Alex turned back to the sea, and sighed, saying, "Although, it is very likely that we will soon be meeting as we are today, yet preparing for a real battle. Things are not as calm as they used to be."

Alex turned as the wyvern rider approached, and replied, "They are likely preparing as well; I'd imagine on that island not far over there." He pointed to the north as he said this, not bothering to be specific.

[AngelOfDeath]

Niveus put his hand on Alex's shoulder, "Haha, don't screw up out there." Niveus smiled at his beloved cousin, "In any case, those little training sessions are boring, how couldn't I be excited? I've heard about my ancestors... I'm old enough and ready to be like them." Niveus frowned a little, then looked at Alex, "But cousin, do not think of such dark thoughts. We're there for each other, and that's what matters the most, understand?"

Niveus turned his head up to the wyvern in the air, "Pathetic, this battle should hardly be anything. Regardless, watch my back now, hmm?"

"What did I miss?"

Iranul strides onto the field, tome in hand. He wanders around, surveying his allies.
He catches the eye of two lords and freezes straight. He suddenly walks off in a speedy, hurried pace towards Tarnus. "Ahh, nice to see you again, mate. That day at the arena was good fun and all, but what's really gonna separate the men from the boys is this skirmish." Iranul smirks and flicks through his tome, mouthing a few lines. "Now, I'll be watching out for you. What kind of fighter wouldn't do that in return, eh?" Iranul lets out a chuckle.

He shuts his tome with a thud and looks over in the lords' direction, making sure they're engaging in conversation before he could move off.

"Argh. News of my last robbery was all over the continent, as was my face. If the two see me, they could get suspicious...
Robbing a bank was a dumb move."

[AdamNW]

Lilith looked straight at the Leoran mage. A criminal Leoran mage, no less.

Huh, one survived...

She rode up to Iranul, slapping him on the back of the head as the horse blew past him.

"I'll be watching you, criminal!" she said. Sure, she wasn't the most lawful person in Leora either, but she wasn't going to let that stop her from enforcing it.

Iranul lurches forward. He didn't see the slap coming. But being a notorious thief, he was going to get it sooner or later.

He throws his tome in the air and catches it. He breathes a sigh of boredom, waiting for the skirmish to begin, while wondering if he'll actually get some profit from it.

Sweat dripped from on top of Iroquois' brow and landed upon his wyvern below him. The scorching heat was the toughest part to get used to in Vardas. Ever since he had left Nerane he hadn't worn a shirt, and even his grieves caused him to have heat rashes. How the other soldiers wore full armor was beyond him, but it was their choice to be at a disadvantage, and if they wanted to die that way, that was going to remain their problem to the grave. He had received notice through the ranks that a practice skirmish was being arranged between Vardas and the forest country of Leora. Skirmishes were so boring. Who wants to get out of bed and go to the battlefield just to lolly-gag around with some possible future enemies. Not Iroquois. In his mind, battle was fought between battle hardened men in a struggle for life and death, not to just scuff up your weapons. Nonetheless, Iroquois could not pass up the opportunity to get his name out there for being a great warrior, especially with the Prince of Vardas also engaging in the battle. This was his time to try and shine, all he had to do was remind himself not to kill any of his enemies... and that's a task not easily done.

"You're right; those thoughts are not meant for a time like this," Alex said, pulling the reins on his horse and turning around. "But, it is about time for us to begin battle preparations." Waving his comrade to follow him, he rode back towards the fortress, stopping near the bridge that connected to a small island. "Vardasian soldiers, gather 'round!" Alex shouted, waving his bow in the air with his right hand.

After laying down for an hour and nearly dozing off a few times, Shel sits up when she hears horses galoping up to and past her. "Woah, Someones in to much of a rush.", Shel thought to herself as she stood up and grabbed her bow. Glancing to the side she notices a man walking with a tome in hand. "Hey! Do you know when this is supposed to start? I'd like to see some enemies already."

Iranul turns to the archer. "Don't exactly know. I've been wondering myself."
He begins to fiddle with the pages of his tome in boredom. "They better start it soon lest I lose my mind."
