P’Tulla just gave her king a curt nod and then she was off. She went into the large training yard on the inner court of the castle and found her cousin Rzalla training with some men of the King’s guard. Though training was a polite term, seeing how she was battering the three armored men she was facing. P’Tulla used a high-pitched whistle to attract her kin’s attention.<strong>“Enough play for today Rzalla. Gather up the men and horses, we are leaving for Theiri right now. The King wants us in the Gate Room five minutes ago.”</strong>Rzalla just nodded and slid her sword back in its scabbard. Then she was off, towards the barracks. The entire top floor of the building was reserved for the Kraken Guard, who kept to themselves for the most part. P’Tulla knew she could trust Rzalla to make sure the rest of the Guard would haul ass. So she just headed to the Gate Room herself, after packing a small bundle of her possessions and attaching it to her mount.<br/><br/>By the time she arrived at the Gate Room, she already spotted the eight members of the Kraken Guard joining them. As was customary when they rode at the King’s side, each was wearing a cloak made out of Lion’s pelt. P’Tulla had fastened her own on the way down from her chambers. The Kraken Guard made for an eclectic bunch, but they were the best fighting unit in Nydewia and no harm would come to the Royal party as long as they were near.<br/>
