Hiss!
Within a pillar of crimson light was a warhorse, twice the size of a typical steed, entirely crimson without a single stray hair, draped in heavy armor just like a Half-Moon Colt. Her eyes sparkled with intelligence, clearly a member of the Sage Horse Species, but her eyes also blazed with the flames of war.
This was Fran, the warhorse who accompanied Lady Strategy throughout the north and south of Thacel.
Woof!
From another pillar of crimson light emerged a hound, also with crimson fur and twice the size of a normal hunting dog, its eyes likewise ablaze with both the flames of war and the unique glow of intelligence.
This was Pesa, the war dog that never left the Goddess of Strategy's side.
As soon as her mount and war dog arrived,
Lady Strategy swiftly mounted her steed; she was already wearing her signature armor—a set of crimson full body plate armor. Her fiery red hair was tied in a bundle, and her eyes twinkled like star-sapphire gems.
