Ready

Thronir and Vlohrir studied the map of the palace in which the Hylin resided in. Not all the hylin, but the people of importance. There ought to be at least a dozen of them guarding the front gates, said Vlohrir. Yes, that would be the men, replied Thronir. They can be easily taken out, he smirked at Vlohrir. What would cause trouble is the two Hylin who will be on top of the towers with their arrows, he said to Vlohrir. And that will not be the end of it. As we go inside the gates of the palace, there would be about five Hylin's in every intersection, he said. The mood grew somber and dim. We would die in the blink of an eye, if we went head on to battle, said Vlohrir. Yes, replied Thronir whose eyes were starting to light up. In a normal night, we would be dead, yes! he said to his friend. But not on a day, he said to him, which could be understood by only the people of Plithir. Their calendar was complicated and was not in any ones best interest to delve too much on it. For a good few minutes, the moon would be completely away from the planet, facing elsewhere. This time, it was Vlohrir's eyes that lit up. There would be complete darkness, he sneered. Yes, replied Thronir and we finish off what our father's started.
The head Hylin was in practice again, the next day. She fought fiercely and this time her opponent dealt a blow to her. On her right arm, the sword stuck and she bled profusely. She whimpered and looked at her mother. Her mother showed no remorse. She brewed an anger inside her. She took a defensive stance as the fight continued. She dealt with every strike that was launched upon her. And slowly her anger faded over, so did her opponents. The fight was done. Her mother sighed and walked away, yet again. Her opponent immediately apologized once the fight was over and offered to bandage her arm. I will do it myself, replied the head Hylin. Her opponent still stood there as she was extremely apologetic. " You can leave" said the head Hylin acknowledging that it was not her fault in any way. She walked to the healing room and when Leonadir came to meet her, she was not to be seen. He too walked away disappointed!
