Kel was primarily stationed as a palace guard during her time in Mevani.
She had her fair share of excursions and offsite missions but, even then, traveled only in small to medium-sized squads.
As a result, lately, she'd been finding herself in awe of the sheer massiveness of Serin's military. It was no different as she approached the endless rows of cavalrymen upon their steeds, waiting for the emperor to lead the march.
Kel's eyes sparkled as she gazed upon the dignified horses and riders, all of them decked out in shiny black armor.
For the first time, she would get the opportunity to scout ahead with the cavalry instead of packing up camp and marching on foot with the infantry.
But, how could she possibly keep up?
Suddenly feeling very small, Kel glanced up nervously at all the unfamiliar soldiers. Even the two officers occupying the positions left and right of the emperor's empty steed were men she didn't recognize.
How long do you think it will take Kel to find out what the emperor is actually up to?
a) Two-Five chapters
b) The rest of this volume
c) We've given up all hope of Kel ever recognizing anything
