The castle grounds scurried with activitie this morn, the Queen herself had decided to lead the kingdoms patrol. A few disgruntled comments beneath breath were made of her doing such a foolish thing, only to be met by her charming smile and defiant response of staying at home as a good queeny should.
So in her full armor and adorned with weapons, out of the castle doors she stepped, the figure of a true knight as she was made her way towards her awaiting horse.
Then with the grace of ease and the creaking of leather, she is upon the massive steeds back and then turns him to face the patrol that will soon join her as they line up and prepare to leave the kingdom.
Their mounts were all packed with provisions, they would be gone for more than a few weeks in their complete patrol of the lands. She had information passed to her that something was not right in the lands as of late and she herself had to see this and decide the course of action. To much time would be lost in the conveyance of messengers, so to be there herself to make a determination in her mind was only proper.
Her steed pranced about in its anxiousness to move forth, head bobbed as it snorted, hooves pawing at the ground. She patted his neck and leaned forward to utter calming words before she sat tall in the saddle once again. Golden hues swept over the group that assembled before her as she sat patiently, yet with an eagerness to move onwards, awaiting her men and/or women to arrive for their tour of duty.

Seeing the happenings outside, he smiled.
"Aye, this could the thing I've been wating for." With that, he gathered his weapon and his gear and headed out fro the stables. Saddling his Nightmare, he pulled himself up and troted out to the group. Pulling the reigns, he haulted the beast and addressed Fallan.
"Would you mind your Majesty if i were to tag along...It might ..::grins:: help me get a better idea of the layout of your lands."
He glances about him to the others, then back to her for a reply.

Honey golds befell upon Alex, a nod of her head and a slight smirk
" Of course milord, we can nae hath tae many swords in our favor"
She then glanced at the captains who barked orders and awaited for the assembling of the knights and warriors.

A smile and nod offered to Justin.
" Tis been a long time old friend, i'm honored thee hath joined us in our journey"
She then glanced down at Hawk and couldn't help but smirk, mirth danced in those honey golden hues.
" Thank thee Sir Hawk, I shall nae inquire tae that thee hold secret, I shall feel better knowing that thee be in the forest"
A wink given to the commander as she drew the reins of her steed to inspect the men and women who have assembled.
Her armor gleamed as she slowly moved down the ranks pulling her steed to a hault before Justin.
"Sae how goeth thine life Justin, tis been almost a life time ago since I seen thee last"

Golden hues turn to the youn man who approached, a slight shift in her saddle to better view him.
" Well met young lord and welcome tae Caldemon and our legion of Elite Warriors.

Golden hues turn to rest on Justin once more.
" We all hath changed from those days Justin, we can only hope it be for the good, nae."
She turned to glance at the assembly.
" We shall give twenty more minutes before we leave, make sure thee hath all thee needs before departure"
She then turns her mount to pass Alex and she glanced at him and gave a slight smile.
She then moved the massive war horse to the point of where she could inspect all before her at one time.

He smiled back to his Queen. This indeed was going to be...entertaining?.. to say the least. Making sure his saddle bags were buckled securely, and his little prize safely tucked away, he await for those whom would trickle in last. His Nightmare kicked at the ground impatiently and small bursts of fire licked upwards.

Glances to all those whom decided to join aswell and mentally frowns. This indeed may prove to be more difficult then he originally planned, but then again, things like this kept his wits sharp and his mind ever moving.

Slowly she rode up and a bow from her seat upon her equines back towards her queen.
She then fell into place in the line of knights who had gathered, her white armor held a dull gleam in its reflective nature with the rays of the morning sun glancing off of it.
And there she waited until it was time for them to ride out, azures taking in the faces of all her commrad at arms.

Seeing there are none others joining, she motions for those assembeled to the ready as she turns upon her mount and heads out of the castle gates, leaving word to the guard as to the direction they were taking in case late arrivers wished to catch up.
With a kick to her mounts side they begin the procession through the small village outside the castle gates and towards the main gate that would take them to the lands beyond of the kingdoms realm.
She glanced back at the line of knights behind her, then she looked forward again as she nodded to those who stepped forward to pay homage.
Soon the main gate of the villages wall was met and opened by the guards and they passed beyond its sanctions. Now heel is placed to the large war horses side as it begins to thunder down the dirt road and towards the mountainous terrain of the kingdom.

Pulls away from the group with a heavy heart.
"T'would have been a grand adventure indeed...."
Looks back to Fallan.
"Forgive me, your Majesty....I must attend to some personal business...good day.."
Slowly he trots over the hill, his hair seemingly greyer then before, his mount lossing it's former luster.
Down the small path her rides, the breeze kicking up abit, tossling his hair about. Skin flakes from his face as he rides along. He is either oblivious to it, or maybe he has accepted it. And as his form slowly fades, his mind recollects all he has done and seen. From the begining, the first guilds whom rose from the ground and eventually laid waste to his homelands. To the birth of the very first council to govern those guilds. He goes over his
life and his deeds. His first two wives, Sascha and Lark. His rivalry with Grim. Remembering all those whom stood by him, and those whom fell beside him. His Love for Alcina2Edge..the one woman he never got to be with...his only one true regret. The fates were always unkind....
And as he approached the small wooded grove..his ragged and worn mount stopped.
For the first time ever, a single tear was shed.
And if you were to now look in the grove, you would feel the breeze die, no longer hear the leaves no longer rustling about. The smell of flowers in bloom fading. Only an platinum hilted, obsidenite bladed longsword stands in the ground.
Silence...
Silence for this forgotton warrior...
Silence...for the dead.

A nod offered to Nick and then her gaze turned to Alex, a slight blink as she watched his decaying form ride away.
A tug on the reins and she moved to where the sword marked his passing, leaning over and grasping the hilt she withdrew it from the ground and glanced around her.
A moment she sat there with head lowered as she offered a prayer of rememberance to her now departed friend, with a sigh she places his sword into the empty boot upon her saddle, she then pulls on the reins once more and again thundering hooves move down the road.

Keeping to the rear of the enterage, she moves out with the rest of them, soon her own war horses hooves thundered against the ground as they headed towards the mountains and what problem that may lay there.

Down the road they traveled, the road was dry and even at their slow pace, a flow of dust rose in their wake.
She had a sense of being watched, but honey golds revieled nothing as they intently studied the treelines about them. A glance back to the others and a silent motion of her hand for them to be alert to their surroundings. She knew they were not yet to the spot where the trouble seemed to be reported, but who ever it was that created havoc within the kingdoms boundries, could well have sent patrols or spies out to guide their way and keep those in
the rear informed of what they were to encounter.

They traveled the day through with no complications. Of this she was dearly grateful. As the sun set against the mountains, she ushered them all to the nearby forest to camp.
Quietly they set camp, all lost within their own thoughts. A small fire was made and sheltered, it would be a moonless night , so the smoke wouldn't show up as easily against the dark blanket of the evening sky.
Soon all were settled around the fire to eat and relax. A few conversed between themselves. But there was much on her mind and she needed time alone to talk, and in doing such she volunteered to take first watch.
Before any could protest, she had already turned and disappeared within the darkness of the forest, restlessness grew deep within her, something was not right and she just couldn't put a finger on it yet.
Keeping to the thickets, slowly she made her way through them. Adorned in only her deerskin tunic ,pants, knee high front lace boots so her passage through the low lying branches wouldn't make any noise as it passed her frame, unlike her armor that would clatter and clang.
Sword sheathed at her side she made slow movements, eyes alert to her surroundings as is her keen sense of hearing.
Occassionally the camps light conversation met her ears, along with a chuckle or a short spurt of laughter. Onward her around the perimeter her steps slowly did take her
