" My son,"
He had said with his dying breath.
" Avenge me.
Destroy the beasts who threaten our kingdom."
And the old king had died, so easily with a rasping sigh. His quivering hand sliding from his son's shoulder as the spear that had buried itself in his belly lay nearby, close to a sobbing medic.
"The King is Dead"

The river was misty, the large grey rocks on its shores and within the bed making the morning even more eerie, A small group of horsemen paused by the bank, clad in the same sparringly leather armor and armed with either two swords, a bow and arrows or a large spear. War paint covered their bodies, rangong from bright yellow to sea blue to storm grey.
Alas, these were not horsemen, but literally 'Horse Men'. Centaurs.
A few archers trotted out into the rushing water, listening for signs of the enemy while the rest knelt on their armored legs and drank from the water or filled pouches.
Three centaurs stood a small ways away from the group, more decorated than the others not only in war paint but their weapons were more beautiful as well. One was a dappled grey, the other a jet black color and the other a blue roan... Their ears flickered as they spoke, seeming uneasy the way their haunches shifted.
" They are here," murmurs the roan, his helm swinging from side to side and his haunches trembling
" We'll move out after the warriors have drank, we have marched many miles..." comments the dappled grey cooly.
" Hush... We can all feel it..." rumbles the black at last... Gripping his spear with white knuckles
