Horizons Fantasy

The warriors stood erected as the princess and her subordinate drew close, as they approached there was nothing but silence even a pin drop could be heard. The warriors kept still , but in the back you could see the recruits who just graduated sweating purposely.

"so thats the princess" Arslan scanned her and her friend.

The princess and her friend made their way into camp and started looking at the chat villagers with a smile, The princess looked like her friend short and slender. Both women were as beautiful as the morning sun , they both have green eyes but the princess had silver hair while the other black hair.

" At ease, I just wanted to inspect my brave warriors who answered the call". The princess smiled but her friend face had a stillness.

She walked toward the front and started talking to Grugus.

"Such fine equipment and armor where did you all acquire it, A raid I supposed?"

She just smiled at the eye catching equipment they had.

"No my lady all this equipment were repaired and made by our blacksmith and our friend" Grugus saluted her by thumbing his fist onto his c.h.e.s.t then answered.

"Is that so? , and who is friend?" The princess friend ask and they all looked toward the back towards Arslan.

"It was me your highness" Arslan answered with a commanding confidence.

The princess and her friend walked toward the back but as she drew close her eye widen looking at the fully armored man looking like he is ready for battle.

"Such equipment, please take off your helmet" The princess friend answered him.

Arslan took of his helmet and the princess and her friend eye widen more , they were looking at a kid that looked like the same age as them.

"You look young" The princess smiled at him but with confidence Arslan answered her.

"You are also young my lady"

The princess smiled and nodded her head and she looked toward Arslan back where the recruits were located.

"You are in command of these people? , they seemed to be well equipped also. I am surprised how well your group are" The princess answered most surprised.

Many of the camp she has visited were not as ready as this one , some had armor , some had not and many of them were rusted and dull not well taken care off. The aura that this group exuded was very domineering like an experiance raiding party. The princess knew villages participated in raiding other lands as the their lands were poor and she had though nothing of it because the kingdom usually participated in some of those raids.

" How ready do you think this camp is?" The princess friend asked Arslan.

"As ready as we can be your lady". Arslan answered.

" I am commander Beatrice and this is our lady Caska and we will be the judge of that" She straightened her back more and walked toward the front and the princess followed her.

Beatrice told the camp to gather around her and she would spar with them, she did not carry her shield with her so the chag villengers discarded their shield also.One by one they walked forward to be evaluated in their skill.

"Good! Next!" as she easily defeated one of the warriors.

As the warriors were defeated one by one she suddenly smiled and looked at Arslan.

" Come here you're next". Commander beatrice looked at Arslan and they both got into fighting stance.

Arslan did not activated any buff and simply slowly scooted forward, as he got closer Beatrice suddenly lunge at him with a simple stroke and he parried the attack to the side but even with an simple parry he felt her sword loosened from her grip and she backed away.

Beatrice backed away with a surprised on her face, in the next attack she lunge again but this time it was a fake. As she lunge she suddenly pulled her sword backwards going overhead instead and swinging to the right. Arslan did not fall for the trick ,precisely and quickly change his direction to block his left side then he side stepped forward and his wrist hooking the sword. She let the weapon go and stepped forward catching the sword with her left hand and slashing down wards but Arslan picked his feet up and kicked forward hitting her elbow and she rolled backwards.

She is not to bad Arslan though but a different though was going through Beatrice.

"How!" she was almost in league with the head warrior of the empire even though her skill was a bit lower than him she was still an elite of the elitr when it came to battles.

Arslan saw a glow in Beatrice constitution and he realize it was a buff , this was the first time in this world he saw someone using buff and he smiled at her. She got into a wide stance with her sword overhead and with her back foot stomping half step forward and her lead pushing back making her look like an animal she attacked. The princess was in shock because she knew this stance was called flight of the gazelle and it contained a mighty strengtining magic that makes the user 3x as strong and as fast.

Arslan used heart of stone and speed checkers casted multiple slashes, as they both pounce as each other there were a massive wave of energy that assaulted the surrounding people. There seemed to be a storm in the middle those two were as fast as liketing fighting , it seemed like an eternity but only 10 second has passed then they heard a scream and a body falling.

"Beatrice! the princess rushed over but Beatrice got up.

"I'm fine princess" As she looked toward the man that beat her.

The princess and Beatrice were in shock at the overpowering battle that just happened, they both could not be live that even when she used Flight of the gazelle that she would lose to this young warrior , they both have been trained since childbirth so this scene was inconceivable in their eyes. She walked toward Arslan and offered her hand as a sign of respect anf Arslan accepted it , as they shook hands this confirmed to the other warriors that have not seen Arslan in action that their were lucky accepting a warrior of this caliber into their village.

"What is your name?" the princess ran towards them.

"Arslan my lady" Arslan bowed his head.

"This camp is ready Caska" she smiled with a bright smile towards Caska.

"Good, I will remember your name" Caska also shook Arslan hand.

After the pleasantries Caska and beatrice left the Chag Camp with nothing but smiles they though if many more villengers were like this then they would have a chance in the up coming battle. After they left the villengers surrounded Arslan with awe and joy in their hearts, especially the recruits. They though with the goblin subjugation that he was amazing but now they though another world of him.

Inside Arslan was also happy , he finally realize that buffs can be taught and used as Beatrice knew how to do it , Arslan looked at the departing figure with a smile on his face.

"This place is getting interesting " Arslan walked back toward his joyous companions.
