As the sun rose over the horizon, the army of King Landon began their march towards the border of the neighboring kingdom. Landon rode at the front of his army, flanked by his most trusted advisors and generals.
As they rode, Landon couldn't shake the feeling of unease that had settled in his stomach. He knew that the coming battle would be the most difficult of his reign, and the stakes were higher than ever before.
He turned to his advisor, Arin, a seasoned warrior and tactician who had never lost a battle. "What do you think our chances are?" he asked.
Arin looked at him with a steely gaze. "We are outnumbered, but we have the advantage of superior strategy and training. We can win this, my king."
Landon nodded, feeling slightly reassured. He trusted Arin more than anyone else, and his confidence was contagious.
As they approached the border, Landon saw a figure standing alone, watching their approach. It was a woman, dressed in the garb of a traveler, but there was something about her that set her apart.
Landon reined in his horse and rode up to her. "Who are you?" he asked.
The woman looked up at him, her eyes piercing. "I am Kaide," she said. "And I am here to help you win this battle."
