From Jaegerwald
The moon was large and pale casting a wane light through the trees, apart from the hoot of an owl all was quiet and peaceful. Then upon the road came the sound of footsteps as a tall man with an arquebuse in his hand and a sword at this waist came into sight.
Captain Lucas advanced steadily down the road his eyes constantly alert, his men had been through this area and put down rebels and bandits already but that was never a guarantee of safety, particularly in Jaegerwald. He had led his small force to the best of his ability for the past few months and they had done well but the call had come and he was bound by his dutiful oaths to obey. Still he ran a hand down the shield that now rested on his back a gift from the Wardens Head quaters as he thought of how his orders had ended.
"Your conduct in previous missions has been most admirable, continue to conduct our will in an honourable fashion and your reward will be promotion to status of knight in the realm of Algundy"
A knighthood, it was more than he could have wished for and he wanted it badly but knew that the road there would be far from easy. Shaking himself he glanced up and saw the sky in the east beginning to grow lighter so he pressed onward at a greater speed eager to reach a sheltered area to rest in by daybreak.
