(Flashback) Hi Ho Silver Lining! [Andresciel]

Maybe horses aren't so bad after all?

Stretching northward along the coastline of the Suvan Sea, the Cobalt Mountains are the home of the Bronze Wood, numerous ruins, and creatures both strange and fantastical.

Armor of the Syliran Knights, smuggled out of the city itself? That was something Xalet had not seen in all of his years. Perhaps he was simply too ignorant to think such a thing was even possible. The value of a Knight's suit of armor was obviously very great, metal in that quantity forged to such specifics took both skill and ample resources. There was more to it than that, however. The armor and the crests or markings that could be placed upon it were visual indicators, signifying friend from foe. In an organization with thousands of members, knowing the names and faces of all of them was nearly impossible for even the most astute mind. When it came down to it, Xalet himself had to look at the sword insignias upon the different Knights to even know what rank of man or woman he was speaking with.

At the direction of the Knight, Xalet grabbed a length of rope typically utilized to lash his horse securely to a tree or within the stables and secured the man's hands together in front of him. There was more worrying Xalet beyond the extraction of Syliran armor. Not only did he wonder how the man had managed to get it, but who exactly he planned on giving it to. In the custody of the large Akalak and the Warrior Mage, the elderly man was clearly nervous and defeated. A keen eye would notice that instead of paying attention to those two members of the Syliran Order, his head seemed to swivel back and forth, like an owl's. Watching. Waiting for something.

"Understood Ser. I imagine they will want to interrogat--" before the Squire's words could even finish, a glint of steel traveled out from the forest path. Heavy training or not, Xalet was simply not quickly enough to remove his shield from his back after securing the prisoner. Though the straps had reached his hand and gave him sufficient protection for himself, the arrow itself slammed right into the chest of the man the two had just captured. The force was so great his sternum could be heard collapsing under the force of the broad bladed arrow before finally coming to a halt, blowing the frail man's body backward until it came to rest upon the ground. "Damn!" Xalet shouted as he turned toward the direction of the arrow. Both Syliran's could hear the sounds of brush and twigs snapping in a direction away from both of them.

"And the culprit got away." The Mage Warrior stated before he swung himself back up into the saddle of his horse. "Come along Xalet. We must report this to someone." The Knight stated to the squire, "And then get back to our patrol. We have wasted enough time." The Knight tugged lightly on the reigns, turning the horse around and heading back towards the city of Syliras. "Come." Andre would call back over his shoulder.

Xalet ran off into the woodline, trouncing sticks and branches as his heavy boots crunched loudly through the foliage. He did his best to ward off the various obstacles that came from navigating the dense Bronze Woods once one stepped off of the path. Stumbling a bit here and there, the purple man hadn't gotten far when he realized just how futile his pursuit was. Pulling his helmet off to better see the surrounding areas, his eyes looked to the ground for any sign of tracks. He thought long and hard on any training he had received, but realistically there was simply too little to go on. A man of his size in plate and mail wasn't going to catch up with someone with a running start, especially not within the woods.

With a great huff he collected his thoughts and headed back to the main pathway. The Knight was right, whoever had struck their prisoner had gotten away, and it made Xalet feel like a failure. Walking back out onto the much more stable trail, he kicked a foot up into the stirrup of his horse and then, with a quick tug, yanked his cumbersome body up and over, landing onto the saddle with a relatively practiced motion. Sliding the reins up into his gauntleted hands he turned slightly toward Andresciel, "Yes Ser."

Tugging to the left, his horse pulled around in a circle and jolted forward shortly in order to catch up with the Warrior Mage, already in motion. There wasn't much to worry about now. With the wagon in the shape it was, as well as with it's driver dead, it wasn't going anywhere fast. The materials being carted were too heavy to remove without aid, as dragging platemail around wasn't exactly easy. With the beat of his hooves, Xalet's horse moved up along side of Andresciel's, and the two Sylirans made their way back to the city. Though the Akalak lacked any heavy expression, the overall air of his demeaor was quite somber. It was yet another experience in death.
