It's been two years since the greatest four made it through the many paths of the unknown to return peace to the land. Paths were gleaming with joy, beautiful flowers of all kinds adorning the green grass with its varied hue of colors, with the companionship of the wildlife that made itself home. Rabbits, deer and hummingbirds to say the least of them.

In the depths of the forest, were the four elemental knights sitting on a log each, surrounding a dim campfire with a bag of goods they brought  from the kingdom.

"Let me get this straight. Are we for real going to stop the training?" Vermont asked, seemingly worried, "Our combat skills may come in handy later you know?"

"Not anymore apparently, I mean," Raymond responded, "Look at the hometown, so far there's nothing but peace. There's nothing we can use our powers upon, enemy wise at least."

The orange knight broke into the conversation. "Oh I know! We can teach the others how to u-"

"They don't have our same elements, sit down." Raymond groaned pointing at the log under Ignis, "Besides I highly doubt they even have an elemental power at all!"

 Sitting back, the orange knight plundered onto the log, crossing his arms with a frown.

"It's been a while since we used our elements."  The blue knight leaned forward slightly to the three other knights, "But perseverance is the key to-"

The red knight cut him off. "I don't think we need training anymore, didn't we use the best out our skills with every attacker we eliminated?" leaning backwards he continued, "The weapon training is another thing, for that we actually had to train because...weapons!"

Blizzard sighed. "You aren't getting my point, are you?"

"What point?"

"It's simple, the longer we ignore training sessions, more difficult is t-"

"Anyway, I'm going back to the castle, my back is starting to ache!" Raymond yawned, getting up and stretching his arms as he walked off to the rocky path that led back to the kingdom, Ignis catching on afterwards. Blizzard and Vermont were left alone in the dimly lighted spot with the bag of food.

"Wow, you should be the one leading if I'm honest!"  Vermont looked at Blizzard, lifting the mask of his helmet with a grin, "Ray doesn't really care on his role of making everything organized and such..."

The blue knight looked back at the green one with his usual serious expression, lifting the front part of the casque as well. "Just doing what's the most convenient thing I guess."

"But still, you're doing a great job as a leader! What Raymond is supposed to be."

"You're giving me too much credit Vermont."

"Well..." The green knight shrugged, "It isn't any less, right?"

Blizzard let out a small chuckle, as he extended a gloved hand to reach into the bag for a piece of food, but instead, he felt grass. "Hey, did you just grab something from the sack?"

Confused, Vermont shook his head in denial, searching as well patting the grass several times. The duo of cavalries were looking frantically for it confused, there was no one else in that forest apart from them.
