Kallie froze, "I live pretty far from here, I doubt you have its just a common colouring" she said quickly, lowering her gaze again. She nodded shooting Bruce a look, he better. she thought to herself. She walked over to the tent watching him start to take down the tent, "No, I can't say I have" she said but getting ready to help anyways. "So whats the plan for today?"

by Spritz Sun Nov 06, 2011 5:06 pm

Zane ran his hands up the poles and quickly unhooked the material, soon stripping it down so only the skeleton of the tent remained. "Today, is when you get chosen if you're going to be fighting." He said, sounding frank.
"Though you're small, I doubt you'll be turned down. If your healthy, you fight." He said blankly. "Hey, I'll even teach you a few things with the sword, if your up for it."

by Daydreamer Sun Nov 06, 2011 5:07 pm

Kallie froze slightly and gulped, You can do this, you can do this. She kept chanting in her head. She looked at Zane, and smiled. "Yea of course, I'd be up for it" she said quickly, she didn't know the first thing about a sword anyways.

by Spritz Sun Nov 06, 2011 5:22 pm

Zane nodded, then quickly dissasembled the tent, packing it away. His was the first one down, as he was an old hand at this, and knew the schedule of the first day better than anyone else there. Sighing, he stood, and held out a hand to help Kole up. "Good. I'll duel with you later, and we'll see how much you know." Tapping his fingers on the hilt of his sword, he turned away to retrieve his horse.

(thank the lord you left when u did, i just lost it in that chat)

Kalledia, nodded her head. She didn't take his hand but got up on her own. She couldn't risk him finding out. She nodded actually getting pretty excited about that. She looked at her sword, that was resting against the saddle back, she walked over to it and picked it up. It was pretty heavy, but she raised her hand holding it and inspecting it. She made the scrunched up face that she always made when she was studying or thinking about something.

by Spritz Sun Nov 06, 2011 5:41 pm

The other soldiers were just starting to wake up, groggilly peering out of thier tents, then scrambling to thier feet as soon as they remembered where they were. Zane leaned down, and grabbed a loose coil of rope, looping it around Arions neck, as the captain had wanted him to do. Walking back to where the tent had been assembled only minutes before, he lightly stroked Arion's muzzle, all the while gazing at Kole, his eyes narrowed slightly.
That face, he had seen that face before!

by Daydreamer Sun Nov 06, 2011 5:49 pm

Kallie looked at the sword before cocking her head, she tried swinging it around. She did, and caught it. She couldn't help but give a small smile. She threw it in the air and caught it, "hey this isn't so ba..." she swung it around again and almost took off her arm in doing so loosing control of it and sending it clattering to the ground. "Oops" she said picking it up again shooting Zane a glance, waiting for him to comment on her clumsiness.

by Spritz Sun Nov 06, 2011 6:11 pm

"No!" Zane stepped forward as Kole started to handle the sword, and leaped backwards as it almost sliced him in half. "Watch that thing!" He commented, swearing heavily under his breath. Then, he almost chopped his arm off and Zane grabbed the sword before he could seriously hurt himself. Shaking his head, he grabbed the sheath and sheathed the sword, plunging it deep into Kole's saddle bags. "Please, for your own saftey, dont take it out again, without me helping you. Ok?" Zane gave a nod, before the camp was called to order.

by Daydreamer Sun Nov 06, 2011 6:20 pm

Kallie couldn't help but let out a small laugh. Zane actually looked scared of what she could do with the sword...Good. She let him take it from her, and just had a smug grin on her face and held her hands up as if surrendering. "Alright, I'll wait until you help me out with it" she said quickly. She then saw the camp was being called into order, she lost her smile and looked at all the men gathering around, she shot a glance at Zane. She had no clue what was going on, she almost forgot for a second that she was going to be going into war. The thought made her frown.

by Spritz Sun Nov 06, 2011 7:10 pm

Zane knew all too well what was going to happen next, and straightened up, watching the Captain with sharp dark eyes. Setting his jaw, leaned down and secured the sword to his side, all the while watching him closley.
"You all know why you're here," Zane tuned out the words after the first phrase, and after a pep talk, he nodded as if he had been listening. "Time to saddle up." He whispered quietly to Kole, turning to his horse, who did't need a saddle in the first place.

by Daydreamer Sun Nov 06, 2011 7:17 pm

Kallie saw Zane had straightened up, so she did the say. Lifting her chin, trying to look manly and brave. She watched the captain, and listened to him speak. She honestly didn't believe one word he said about fighting for their land.....she zoned out quickly. She was here for one reason, and she did know what that reason was. She stole a glance at Zane. She turned around and grabbed the saddle, quickly putting on the saddle, and bridle. She really didn't want to get on again...

by Spritz Sun Nov 06, 2011 7:23 pm

Zane didn't ride with a saddle or bridle, but fashioned a crude rope halter and gently slid it over the muzzle of Arion, who didn't look pleased. Sighing, Zane gently secured it around his head, and nodded as he checked the knots. He turned around to see Kole, who had tacked up his stallion and was ready to go. He wasn't sure about that young man, but now, for some reason he fel an obligation to make sure he stayed alive through the next few weeks, maybe because he had been the same way years before. Sighing heavily, Zane mounted the horse and waited for commands.

by Daydreamer Sun Nov 06, 2011 7:25 pm

Kallie got everything in place, putting her own saddle bag at the side of Bruce's saddle. Picking up her sword and putting it in a sheath also putting it in the bag, some of it sticking out. She took a deep breath and mounted clumsily, and cursed under her breath....she'd been doing a lot of that lately. She picked up his reins in her hands, and waited for them to move out.

by Spritz Sun Nov 06, 2011 7:30 pm

Arion fell into step behind the other horses, and Kole was right behind him. Turning slightly, Zane looked at Kole with his dark, searching eyes. "You ok back there?" He asked softly. He was the only one riding without a saddle, and some of the men looked at him funny, before he gave them a glare that turned their eyes right back to where they should be, on the horse in front of them. Arion nickered softly, lowering his head and threatening to snag a mouthful of grass, but a quick, soft jerk of the rope reins made him straighten up and shake his head in annoyance.

by Daydreamer Sun Nov 06, 2011 7:32 pm

Kallie got her reins sorted out as they had already gotten tangled, she wasn't use to riding with them and she was still getting the hang of it. "Yes Im fine" she muttered back, getting slightly impatient with her riding skills. Soon though she got everything under control and trotted up to Zane, walking beside him. "Where are we going?" she asked him.

by Spritz Sun Nov 06, 2011 7:41 pm

Zane looked over his shoulder as Kole trotted up beside him, looking rather odd on horseback. Zane wondered how many times he had actually ridden before, and how he had aquired such a fine animal in that case. Shaking his head softly, the morning sun grew in heat, and Zane raised his arms, sliding his shirt off over his head and turning to pack it away in the saddlebags that were lying across the back of the horse behind him. Packing it away, his toned chest gleamed slightly with a thin sheen of sweat, and he let the rope reins rest across the steeds withers. Looking at Kole, he was again struck with that familiar gleam, and shook his head, narrowing his eyes and trying to figure out where he had seen him before.
"Have I seen you before?"

by Daydreamer Sun Nov 06, 2011 7:44 pm

Kallie smiled as she started to feel comfortable in the saddle, now she hoped he didn't spook like he didn before when she fell off. She could just imagine how embaressing that would be. She looked over at Zane, seeing him take his shirt off, she tore her gaze away from him, instead looking at the horses in front of her. She looked at him, hearing the words she feared the most. She hoped her nervousness, (If thats a words) didn't come through. "N..No, I've never seen you before." she said calmly with a shrug.

by Spritz Sun Nov 06, 2011 7:48 pm

Zane shrugged half heartedly, shaking his head. He swore that he had seen this young man, but he decided to let it go. If it arose again, then so be it, but with a small smile, he turned back to look at the horse in front of him. He knew that within a few hours riding they would reach the campsite, where they would practice dueling and teach the newbies how to hold their own.
"Were heading towards the battle field," Zane said calmly, setting his jaw slightly. "But first we'll stop at a large meadow, where I'l teach you how to fight."

by Daydreamer Sun Nov 06, 2011 7:52 pm

Kallie looked onto the campsite, the battle field. She couldn't help but feel a little sick, imagining all the dead soldiers. She shook her head and looked at Zane brightening up at the idea. "Yes, That'd be great" she replied to him, as all the horses stopped at the campsite.

by Spritz Sun Nov 06, 2011 7:56 pm

Soon, all of the horses came to a stop, standing still in their straight line, nose to tail. Arion swished his own tail abruptly, and threatened to step out of line, but Zane easily held him back with a touch of his boot to his side. The General started to go on about why they were here, and Zane dismounted, quickly stepping out of the line and slipping the saddle bags off of Arion's back. Tying him loosly around a branch of a tree, the horse lowered his head to graze, starting to rip out mouthfuls of the sweet green clover.

by Daydreamer Sun Nov 06, 2011 7:58 pm

Kallie stopped listening. After his speech, she dismounted from Bruce. Loving the ground that touched her feet. She took off the saddle bag and put it over her shoulder, tying Bruce beside Arion. She looked at Zane, hoping he would now take her to practice with her sword.

(srry im on my ipod...which = short)

by Spritz Sun Nov 06, 2011 8:03 pm

(That's ok, I dont even have an ipod!)

Zane glanced up as Kole joined him, and he wondered why this boy had decided to take Zane on as his personal rolemodel. Shrugging to himself, he gestured to the saddlebags, poking it slightly with the toe of his leather boot. "Get out the sword." The others had started to take out thier own swords and shine thier armor, which was completley pointless. Shiny armor just gave away your position in the first place, and he shook his head.

by Daydreamer Sun Nov 06, 2011 8:07 pm

(yea its hard to type...so ill just get my point across...And stuff rite now)

Kallie nodded, feeling that Zane was studying her. She opened her saddle bad and took out the large sword, out of its sheath, holding it by the handle. She looked up at Him for further instructions. She knew she'd never handled a sword before but she wanted to impress him.

by Spritz Sun Nov 06, 2011 8:11 pm

Zane watched as he leaned down, opening up the bags and quickly taking out the sword. "Careful with that thing!" Zane spoke, his voice uneven. He couldn't stop thinking about Kallie, and he looked away, eyes troubled. He mentally kicked himself, telling himself to shape up. It wasn't time to think of such things, and he brushed the hair out of his eyes, straightening. Pointing to an open spot about twenty yards away, he started to stride over to it, stopping in its center.

by Daydreamer Sun Nov 06, 2011 8:15 pm

Kallie couldn't help but role her eyes."yea, yea" she muttered under her breath, sounding like herself for a moment. She kept the swird at her side and followed him into the clearing. She pushed her hand through her short hair, hating it. She felt so naked without it flowing down her waist. She bit her lip wondering what Zane would say if he knew. She had always known her hair was Zane's favorite physical thing about her. She mentally punched herself for allowing herself to daydream. She lifted her head and gave him a determined look
