You pick up the longsword and take a look. It's got a few flecks of dust, but the edge still feels sharp. It'll do. You'll have a little trouble moving around in full armor, but at least you'll be protected.
You and Fizza haul your gear outside to meet Kelton, and the three of you help each other into your armor. When you have everything ready, you walk around to test it out. Once you tie your long hair up to keep it out of the way, you feel ready.
Just as everyone is finishing up, Lady Ayo gallops down the drive with two horses in tow.
"Well met, Lady Ayo!" Kelton says.
"Well met! Squires, the Queen has released these horses to your care. The black mare is called Safed. The bay is Tab."
When the horses get near, you can feel their power. You wonder if it's because you've spent the last few weeks practicing magic, but the sensation is unmistakable. Safed stands on tall legs, but she looks powerful. She's jet black and shining, and you feel that she can do some damage. She has the aura of death magic about her. You have a feeling that if you choose her, she'll act as a sort of well-honed tool as well as a companion in battle, allowing you to be more in tune with that necromantic power she embodies.
Tab, on the other hand, has more rounded, solid muscles and a gentler look to him. He's brown with a black mane and legs, and he's practically exuding life. Just like with Safed, you can sense he'll teach you to align yourself more with healing magic, but that same innate sense is telling you that you have to consciously make a decision to cultivate it.
Then you notice Fizza gazing at the horses, and you can see how badly she would like to choose one. Seeing that almost childlike wonder is not only surprising to witness from Fizza, but it also makes you hesitate to take the opportunity away from her. But if you don't, you know you'll lose out on the full potential of choosing the horse that most aligns with you.
