The white horse, decorated with a beautiful velvet saddle and a silky rein, with carrying the load of his items, stalked proudly in the road. He named the white horse Hadrian, after the roman emperor Hadrian.
He walked to the park to explore the fascinating sculptures and the river Gabriel, which shines in the morning sky. The park Dan has gone to see has beautiful sculptures of famous people, an arch bridge carved by limestone, and the city hall beside the barren trees, and the magnificent castle resting above a small hill in around the same barren trees. The skyline is so bustling to see and it's real.
But Dan now has to go to the outskirts of the city. He has to make a defensive base and has to somehow manage to add some members to his team to defend the capital city. Before doing so, he has to request to the king about this.
At the afternoon, he reached the palace after eating lunch. The guards luckily let him go inside. He came to the king and said, "Your Majesty, I have to tell about the country problems. Aquilla is going to attack Gorrión. I have proof. I have the documents. You have to grant me permission to save the capital city from a defense post in the outskirts of the capital city." The king saw the documents, and said, "I agree to your idea. You can have a defense post at the outskirts. We have to protect Christmas. I will prepare the armies to defend."
Dan has to now search for the team members. But he couldn't, because no one was suitable for it. After a while, Dan felt that someone is following him but he doesn't know who they were. At times he would look back, checking with sharp eyes, but no one was found. At last, after three hours of searching, he found two men wearing long coats that came down their knees. Dan caught them red-handed, He yelled, "Who are you two men following me? Show your face, you can't escape!" Those two revealed their faces and Dan was shocked. It was Georges and Maxim, who had come along with them by the time they left Alcista! Dan said, "My dear friends, Georges and Maxim! I really missed your friendship. Maybe you had a hard time with me?" Georges replied, "Not really though, but we have decided to help you to defend our motherland." Dan was happy that his trustworthy friends are there to help.
Georges and Maxim also had their horses. Georges' black horse's name is Caesar and Maxim's brown one, Lucifer. These stallions are good enough to fight in wars. They reached the defense camp in about thirty minutes. There they built a big wide camp in the open space. There were the city gates, and the camp would be linked with it. The plan was to build the camp like a small fort. On two sides of the gate will be stone structures with features like battlements, arrow slits, to help defenders help defend easier. The walls of the city will be surrounded by battlements where patrollers could patrol round the clock.
The first layer of defense is the group of soldiers armed with a rectangular shield and a lightweight razor-sharp sword. The soldiers wear a strong, helmet forged from steel and coated very lightly with brass. The helmets has a crests made of quill feathers. They wore a normal brown dress, then a robe plated with pure steel for protection. They wore cotton pants plated with steel as well. They tied a band in the shape of a cross, and the band is entirely made of steel on the top. They wore a red cape, which represents Heroism. The second layer of defense is the cavalry. They wear the same dress as the foot soldiers do, but they have different weapons. They have a spear which could be kept in the saddle by a handle. They are armed with a sharp, slight-curving sword that was suitable and comfortable to attack from a horse. They are also armed with arrows, which could be rested on their back. The third layer of defense is the war magicians. Some form the third layer, while others are ready by the side of path in need of emergency. They wear a normal blue dress and wear a beautiful and shiny white robe on it. They also wear a wizard hat. They are armed with a white cat, which represents good luck and fortune, and a magical stick, with a blue magic ball which releases powers from it. From the top of the battlements, arrowers shoot arrows at the enemies.
Dan decides to be a war magician. He likes magic. At the age of 3, once he had his wooden horse broken. He was sad, and he tried magic to repair it. From then on, he tried magic for fun. But now, he has a chance to learn superb magic. Good for him! Dan said, "O Maxim, I heard you know some very good magic. Could you train me to be a master magician."
-"Sure, why not. The first step to be a hilarious wizard is that you need a peaceful heart and a concentrated mind. First things first, you have to do meditation for three hours. After that, you should not eat and drink for 5 hours."
"What! Meditate for three hours and I can't eat for a total of eight hours! It's too hard."
It was hard indeed. Maxim was strict in giving training. At the first try, he could not even make up for two minutes. Camb and the fairy cheered him. Then it was thirty minutes, thirty five, forty five, an hour and a two and finally he did it for eight hours! Unbelievable!
Because of his self-confidence, he doesn't get hungry often, even though he's a great foodie. He did the martial arts and gymnastics pretty well. His mind was filled by a lot of mumbo-jumbo things.
