There was no uniformity to their arms and armament; Haruke warriors wore the talismans and tokens of their individual tribes. Their weapons were largely of rough hammered cold iron. Well notched lon

\par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af39\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\fs24\insrsid1342180 Rael was discernibly different from his Brother Knights. Though a Noble of the Realm and a Captain of the Knighthood of
 DarkFyre Dale, Rael carried no shield, and wore no surcoat with his family arms upon them. He did not wear a suit of full plate, instead favoring a hauberk of steel scale mail covering his torso and arms down to his forearms, his hands clad in leather ga
untlets with steel plates covering the back of his hands and running up his wrists. He preferred the ease of visibility afforded by neglecting to wear a helm, and he left his cloak behind for the benefit of unencumbered movement. 
\par Rael favored a tremendous greatsword that he swung in great cleaving arcs. The Captain\rquote 
s swordplay was surprisingly swift and precise for the size and heft of his blade. He circled, stabbed and slashed tirelessly as he stepped around and between his foes. Perhaps perceiving the wor
th of the young Knight, the Haruke warriors pressed in, eager to test their mettle against him.
\par Rael bared his teeth as he met the Haruke head on. His blood was rushing high and heavy in his veins, thick with a heady cocktail of adrenaline, a dash of battle lust, and a pinch of hatred. He saw the same euphoria reflected in his enemy\rquote 
s eyes. They understood it better than any of his own people ever could. The knowing expression on the tribesmen\rquote s faces frightened him. Angered him. Yet he could not deny that 
part of him embraced the drumming of war in his blood as well. Rael never felt quite so alive as he did when he stared death in the eye and cut it down with his blade.
\par A twist of his greatsword sent a Haruke\rquote s heavy axe spinning free from severed fingers. 
Rael lunged forward, slamming his shoulder into the big man before him and knocking him back enough to bring his blade whistling in an upward arc to flay the man\rquote 
s chest and throat wide open. The Knight turned, dropping his weight and bringing his greatsword flashing out as he spun, catching a second barbarian across the belly in a cut so vicious it near tore the man in half. 
\par Before the corpse even met the earth Rael circled to his left as another Haruke lunged at him. A heavy necklace of wickedly curving predator\rquote s teeth hung around the Haruke\rquote 
s neck, trophies of his tribe, clink-clacking, clink-clacking. He swung a blood-stained war hammer with killing intent. The man\rquote s eyes were wide and his lips drawn, his feral grin mirroring Rael\rquote s own, the grin of on
e overjoyed to at last face a glorious death. Rael moved with the man, his body turning and spinning as the barbarian hammered at him relentlessly. The power behind each blow would have been enough to shatter Rael\rquote 
s bone, pulverize his muscle and crush his heart in his chest if any had been able to find him. But Rael moved with speed surprising for such a large man, and his blade shot up to parry when the Haruke threatened to close.
\par Finally, Rael took an opening as he hit a high parry, dropping his weight and sending his greatsword slashing in a horizontal cut across the tribesman\rquote s lead leg. His cut bit deeply into the inside of the man\rquote 
s leg just below the knee. As the barbarian let out a savage bellow and stumbled, Rael continued his spin, raising up to his full height. He whipped his heavy sword out in a backhanded cut as he came around, neatly severing the Haruke\rquote 
s head from his broad shoulders.
\par Similar death and carnage surrounded him on all sides as the armies engaged. Men slipped and slid as the grass
y hills churned into a muddy mess by too many boots while sleet mixed with blood and rent flesh underfoot. Sharp screeches punctuated the screams of the dying as battle axes bit deep into shields and metal armor crunched under the weight of hammer and mac
e. Though more skirmish than a true full-fledged battle, the fighting was intense and savage.
\par Rael whirled among it all, a man utterly in his element. His blade and gauntleted hands ran red with blood, and he did not slow. Common soldier and Knight alike ra
llied behind the young Knight Captain, and soon the Haruke were routed. The barbarians were slain, down to the man. None surrendered, and none retreated.

 he struggled to find calm. His gaze fell on his men, who glanced furtively at him from under their helms, their expressions a mix of awe, respect, nervousness, and fear. No man would speak it aloud, but no matter how many times they witnessed it, the Cap
tains ferocity in battle was an unnerving sight even to his hardened and loyal soldiers.
\par The young Nobleman pulled himself together, viciously quelling the roil of emotions inside him and burying them deep. There was no time for any of them, not the rage or the frustration or the sorrow at more of his men\rquote 
s blood spilled, which only served to feed the anger burning in his gut all the more. He was a Captain, and this warcamp was his to command, and no matter how deep his emotions ran, he had a job to do, and they would only complicate it.

 his pike. "Send for Morell and StoneSinger at the physician\rquote s tent to tend the wounded. Put any of the Haruke left alive to the sword. Burry our dead in the graves on the north embankment. Then gather the Haruke\rquote

\af39\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\fs24\insrsid1342180  to whistle over the hills, a mournful sound. A more superstitious man would have taken it as an ill omen. Rael was grateful for it; despite being soaked right through his scale mail
 by the earlier falling sleet, his body was still hot and flushed as it always was after battle.

d never taught Rael much about strategy and tactics and how to command armies, he\rquote d taught him much about the world, and how to make men respect you, if need be fear you, and which
 end of a sword to stick in someone trying to kill you, and how to do a damn good job of it at that. For his part,}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af39\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\fs24\insrsid1342180\charrsid14039930  Galin }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af39\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 
\f0\fs24\insrsid1342180 seemed content with the chain of command and }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af39\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\fs24\insrsid1342180\charrsid14039930 wanted nothing more than}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af39\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\fs24\insrsid1342180 
 to serve, fight, and complain. And, of course, to needle and taun
t and poke at his Captain at every opportune moment. Thankfully, the Knight, while a complete pain in his ass, had enough propriety to maintain proper recognition of rank when they were within earshot of others. 
\par Barely.
\par Rael realized he was sporting the barest of smiles as he reflected on his old friend\rquote s behavior. And as quickly as it came, it went, buried under the bile in his throat and rage in his belly. The Knight didn\rquote 
t like to think of himself as an angry, bitter man but no matter how he tried, there it was, a hard knot of hatred that burst into frenzy whenever he crossed swords.
\par In a black mood, Rael trudged through the camp toward his tent. His day would be full as he received reports on the dead and wounded. Then he would divvy up the duties and a
ssignments of his remaining forces. He would send a missive to the Lord Knight Commander reporting on the raid and subsequent results. Additionally he needed request replacements for the fallen men and hope there were troops to spare in the main garrison 
to send to his outpost. Then he must oversee arrangements for the death rites of his men according to their beliefs and station. He would send letters of condolences to the fallen\rquote 
s families and arrangements for them to be taken care of as well as could be 
managed with the meager resources left at his disposal. He would then inspect any damage to the camps supplies or defenses. If he were lucky, he would be able to get started on his regular duties once all those were seen to.
\par He made sure the flap to his tent fell closed behind him before he let out an agitated groan. While running the list of tasks over in his head had quieted the lingering vestiges of his temper, it only served to make him tired. Rael}{\rtlch\fcs1
