“Dong!” the repeated ringing of church bells, which signaled the approach of enemies. Quinn Osmont woke up, the sun was strong and blinded him, so he had to close the curtains. It was a beautiful summer day. He quickly got out of bed, put on his chainmail, and grabbed his sword, shield, bow, and quiver. He ran out and saw chaos everywhere in the field. Quinn felt nervous, he was tired, and he could tell that most of the village was tired too. Quinn jumped onto his horse and rode at great speed towards the main gate, the only way into the village. “Quinn! I'm glad you're here, I'm going to need my best warriors," shouted Thea, leader of the resistance, the Valor. The Valor are made up of many men and women whose main goal is to overthrow King Doran. Quinn joined Thea in front of the the army of Valour, "I will do my best, Lady Thea," he said and then bowed. Thea looked very intimidating, dressed in a black leather outfit with a bow on her back, astride her white stallion and surrounded by her his four guards. “We are outnumbered but we have the element of surprise. I have archers stationed at the top of the valley and a small unit of Calvary to flank them. Quinn finally looked at the king's army, a large number of soldiers all with the symbol of the king. A single figure began to walk towards them, Quinn and the rest of the Valors tensed and had their swords on their hilts, ready to fight stood a few meters away and announced in a low voice and clear: "King Doran is claiming this city under his rule, if you do not lay down your arms and accept, we will take this city by force." Thea smiled and with a lightning movement, grabbed a dagger from the side of her leg and threw it... at the center of the paper... something a lion doesn't do towards humans. “Thank you for coming Quinn and Wildfire, we have a problem, our spies saw the king leaving his palace with his royal army heading towards our city. The king has realized that our resistance is a problem for his position and is planning to lead his army himself to eliminate us.” Quinn was shocked, he knew that the king was very skilled in fighting and battle tactics, there was a story of how the king had shot down 100 men himself. Wildfire growled. "This could be a good thing, Quinn and I together could be enough to overpower the king and end his reign," Wildfire said. Quinn was dumbfounded, he knew he was a great warrior, especially thanks to his bond with Wildfire, but he didn't think he could face the king. Thea looked at the two, “Quinn, Wildfire, I predict that King Doran will arrive on the outskirts of the city tomorrow afternoon.",
