Five minutes later, Captain Narada arrived,  marching down rows of readied soldiers. She stood calmly in the front line, watching the approaching shadows. The Talons and Fortus Knights stood proudly, unwavering, as five more minutes passed and the air coach came finally came to view. It was a boxy wooden structure with lines extending outwards to connect to the harness of the sky-griffins carrying it. As it began to descend, Gilda was surprised that the carriers in front were three Wind Knights (whoever was inside was probably influential). The lead shouted an ‘all-clear’ command, most likely for their fellow Wind Knights spread out at the rampart—Gilda could imagine the soldiers raising their crossbows and getting ready to fire—before they landed smoothly about ten claw-paces from the Captain.
