~~Prologue: Fields of Blood~~
The party of William of Selesse was slowly approaching the small Aquila Forest. It is where he is going to meet his future bride, the young Sophie of Carden, and her entourage, before the two would travel together to the capital for the blessings from the King...
The birds were chirping happily and the autumn sun provided much warmth; it was going to be very pleasant autumn this year. Even this late in the year, trees were still green, while heather and berry bushes adorned the roadsides with plenty of colours.
"Quite lovely place, it is. A nice place for a dinner under the sky." "Arthur, we're not here for a happy time meal. I just want to meet with Sophie and... get over this."The falconer shrugged and the group continued in silence, the mercenaries placed between the lord and the falconer in front, and the guards in the back. William promised them five thousand coins if they assist him all the way to the capital and back. This was just the first step...
William stopped for a moment and turned to the wyvern rider, who kept his mount on the ground, the mighty beast lazily walking alongside the armed entourage.
"O'Connor, could you fly up and north? Take a look at the crossroads if Sophie's carriage is waiting there or maybe anywhere close. Just don't fly too close, I wouldn't want to see your wyvern shot by accident."//Hix, Valeria, Caleb Roegh, Coleen Gray, O'Connor and Tamil Banal are in!
