Guts and Camilla, two wandering mercenaries, wandering from battle to battle in search of greater opponents to challenge their strength. After one particular castle seige they meet The Band of the Hawk, a mercerany band led by a man named Griffith...
It was a clear blue sky, birds were flying free, as if they had not a care in the world, not even bothered with the fire balls that was thrown into the air by catapults. Two pairs of eyes looked into the sky, a pair of brown eyes with a scar right across his nose, and a pair of blue eyes as clear as the sky itself with little to no emotion in them, wearing a cloak. Guts and Camilla, two wandering mercenaries, standing in the middle of a battlefield as if they didn't have a care in the world. They continued to stare as if they were looking for something in the sky, when more cannon fire was shot into the sky and more birds which turned out to be crows circled the sky in search for a meal.
As if they had come out of a daydream, their gazes lowered to the battle in front of them. The echoes of battle cries began to resonate into their ears along with the sound of galloping horses and heavy armor rubbing against itself, worn by a soilder running into battle. Guts lower his helmet guard over his face, while Camilla simply removed her cloak that covered her body.

Camilla: I'm telling you, I'm not going into battle with a cloak over my body. I can't move in the damn thing and it's uncomfortable.
Guts didn't say anything, and began to walk forward, even stepping over the dead body of a crow. Camilla simply sigh and pulled out her sword from her sheath at her hip. She ran and caught up with Guts pretty quickly. Men were charging forward with ladders in hand, and their weapons raised, while the sound of war drums and horns played in support for the soldiers going into battle.
At that moment arrows began falling from the sky and took down many of the soldiers. Some of the soldiers raised their shields to protect themselves from the arrows. A group of them tried to climb the walls of the castle with their ladders, but as soon as they reached the top, they were cut down with their ladders pushed back to the ground. The catapults continued to launch fire balls at the castle, but they only seemed to bounce off of one wall and hit somewhere else inside the castle walls. At one of the gates, the soldiers had prepared a battering ram to knock down the gate.
Commander: All right men! Get into position! Forward!
Camilla looked at the wall of the castle and saw the archers preparing more arrows. She and Guts had been placed inside a huge crate, that would protect them from the arrows and help get them to the top of the walls. As soon as the crate opened the men charged forward towards the enemy. Guts and Camilla could see there was no room for them if they charged with the soldiers. So they quickly looked at each other, nodded, leapt over the soldiers, and started running over them, while attacking any soldiers that saw or tried to attack them.
Guts and Camilla charged toward the group of soldiers, who continued to fire arrows at them, which didn't even hit them. Two soldiers charged at Camilla on both of her side's ready to kill her. Camilla could see their plan, but just as she was about to strike another group of enemy soldiers charged towards them. Camilla turned to Guts and gave him a wink, it was their secret code for one of there special attacks they practiced.
