It was the sunniest day of late autumn.
The knights and apprentices who were headed to battle woke up with the sun but were allowed to move slowly since preparations were done for their travel the night before.
Commander Lothian had returned from the front lines in order to lead the rest of his men into battle, feeling that there was nothing more he could do at the front lines that couldn't be handled without him. Having him and his second command in Hydrogia taking men into Chemois, he appointed Sir Alix in charge until he could return.
The commander organized a big breakfast to send the knights and apprentices off on their journey. He explained that food would be more limited until they made it to the northern country.
Henry felt he had been spoiled the past few months by being able to eat three times a day, but he knew that after a lifetime of only eating a couple of times a day he would be able to go back to it if he needed to.
