13th of Second Seed (13/5/45)

Cynric got out of bed, his eyes bleary. He pulled on his armour quickly, checked all his equipment was in good shape, then stepped into the Cistern, not wearing his cloak. It was unusually quiet for this time of day - most people would be getting breakfast normally. He checked the candles lit to mark the time of day - he was early. He quickly got some breakfast, then walked through town towards the barracks, drawing some nervous glances for his armour. Eventually, he reached the courtyard where the men were forming up.

"So good of you to join us," Skuldar called out, clad in steel armour. "We were beginning to wonder if you were having second thoughts about this."

"When are we setting out?" Cynric asked, ignoring the remark and drawing closer. Skuldar's eyes widened as he got a better look at Cynric's armour.

"When the shadow of the keep no longer touches the castle walls," Skuldar replied, distracted. Cynric wondered of the utility of such a system of measuring time, but he didn't mention it. Instead, he glanced at the shadow - it was time.

"We best get going then," Cynric told Skuldar. He glanced over to the soldiers - they were all standing still.

"MEN!" Skuldar shouted, at the unmoving soldiers. "MARCH!"
