Traveling in the cover of darkness had all been part of my plan, I thought. This darkness, however was overwhelming. “Coordinating the troops or even seeing them might prove to be very difficult,” I said to myself. At least an element of surprise might be achieved.

“Lyndon the guide informed me that we are quite close now.” Light shown off the speakers polished armor.

“Thank you knight, now return to the front and prepare the troops.” He rode off as suddenly as he had appeared.

“Hey Jes does it seem strangely dark,” Jes’ horse had been parallel with mine for quite some time, neighed.

“Yes, as a matter of fact, it is very dark out,” I shrugged my shoulders. “Do you think it is some trick of the witches? Even though darkness will not stop the slaughter,” A smile crept across his face.

“You sure have a way with words.” Jes commented.

The faces of the dead washed over me. How many must die, how many? Is there ever an end? This question had plagued me for quite some time. It was a question that I never spoke.

“Ride ahead and find Talon. I need to discuss our formations with him before the battle begins.”

“Yes, sir.” Jes mocked me with a salute.

“One more thing, do you think she knows we are coming?”

“Yes.” Jes’ horse jolted; he is quite eager I thought. Before I could say another word I saw the arrow. A sliver of silver had imbedded itself in the horse’s flank, effectively securing the thief’s leg in the stirrups.

“Take cover, they know we are here!” I screamed. More screams and battle cries soon followed.

I could see total panic within the men; Jes and his horse now had disappeared from view. Arrows sparkled like stars as they sliced through the wind. Death, will this be my last battle, will we all die? Our life spark doused by a star lit arrow. No, to die now would be very frustrating.
