Dawn was approaching. As Rya was following Jeremiah and the rest of the 450 mercenaries. As they march to war. Rya was wondering what was going on. She wanted to ask about it but decided against it. Why would they tell her anyway?
Rya looked upon Rudolf who was sporting his plate mail armor. He was the strongest man in the army. His shield had a golden skull on top and the pommel of his sword had a dragon's head with long fangs and horns.
Jeremiah was wearing the same crown of a fallen king of the wood elves. It was made from gold and gems encrusted in the crown. There were small diamonds embedded in the thorns of the crown. His weapon was a wooden sword with a ruby set in the hilt.
He wore a blue cloak that was decorated with silver and gold embroidery while chainmail covered his body. A black leather gauntlet covers his right hand. On his belt is a dagger made of iron with a dragon's claw for the handle. A red stone was set in the center of the blade.
Her gaze shifted to the other soldiers marching alongside them. All of them were wearing their Black Rose armor. Each of the mercenaries had a piece of their armor made special. It was a combination between a gauntlet and a bracer.
All of the mercenary's swords were unique. In fact, each one had a different design. Some of them had spikes, some had flames, and others had designs that were straight out of fantasy books.
"Any signs of who took our men?" Devin asked as he walked beside Jeremiah.
"Our scouts found three bodies that were burned and buried. Rudolf might be right about this being the prince's men. For now, we need to assume that it's them." Jeremiah replied as he looked up at the night sky with a warm glow coming from the horizon. "It looks like dawn will break soon. We'll most likely see if they're here."
As Jeremiah said that a shadow came across the land. The sun was rising over the mountains in the distance casting a deep orange glow on everything around them.
A group of riders rode towards them from the south.
They went straight to Rudolf and his cavalry. The rider was a tall man wearing Black Rose armor. His head was covered by a helm that was similar to a knight's helmet.
"Sir! The prince has raised an army!" One of the officers yelled as he pointed south.
Jeremiah turned back to Rudolf and smiled. "So the prince has come out to play? He may not be a king yet but I'll add his crown to my collection before the day is done."
"Yes, the Toothless Lion is braver than I thought. He'll die like any other royal that comes against me." Rudolf said as he tapped his chest. "Let us finish him off once and for all."
Jeremiah nodded and gave out orders to his troops.
"Get ready men! A royal's blood is going to be spilled today. When the sun rises we shall show them what happens to those who challenge the Black Rose. You may look down at your feet but know that I am looking up at you."
Rudolf's cavalry started to growl and snarl.
Rya heard all of this, 'Like Hell! I wouldn't let you touch Quin! Once this slave collar is off me, so help me God. I'll be coming for you!' she thought to herself as she glared at Jeremiah standing next to her.
She looked him in the eyes and growled.
Jeremiah smirked as he turned away.
He ordered his men to start moving and they did.

Quinus stood under the cover of darkness. If it was not for the warm glow of the horizon he would have been able to see nothing.
