Chapter 13

"Good let's get going."

I watch as Zarius and Robert climb into the carriage. When they are out of sight, I relax. I can physically feel Joseph relax behind me as the troops walk past.

They are all wearing the same Raven crest on their chain mail as Zarius' and marching in fives. Some are wearing swords, some with axes, some with bows and arrows, some that have pikes, and some that don’t look like they are wearing anything.

When the last five soldiers leave, Justin grabs my Dad by his arms and yanks him forward. I don’t wait for Joseph to do the same, I follow right behind Justin. As we exit, Justin grabs a hold of my Dad's right arm and Joseph does the same.

The sun is up but the air still has a chill to it. The ground rumbles with the sounds of the miniature army. The only thing that I can hear is the clang of metal against metal the heavy footsteps leave because of their heavy armor.
