John looks over to the others, grabbing their things, and packing up wagons. He lets out a small yawn, leaning against a pole, as he mess with his hunting knife. It was around 4:30 AM, it was still dark. He gets off the pole, helping one of the citizens get a bag of belongings into the wagon. "O-Oh, thank you mister" the young woman said, as John checks to see if everything is ready. People start to get on wagons and horses, as Deputy Carter, and Sheriff Bright lead the group on horses. "Everyone ready?!" shouted Carter, as the wagons and horses start to move. John hops onto his horse, Ares, as he goes with them. Scruffy, a trader and hunter, looks over to John. "Hope this Valentine is alot better then here.". Jonn looks over to him, "I heard the place was full with green, almost like a forest. Be great for hunting.". Scruffy gets a big grin on his face, "Scruffy loves that alot". Scruffy talks in third person, no one knows why, but he really makes him fun to hang around- sometimes. John looks out at the open field, as he takes a deep breath. "So this happening...hope we are prepared", John tells himself, as the sun starts to rise from the hillside.
