While waiting on his horse, Kalar looked around. The stables seemed calm enough, but the Shepherds had left already. He turned towards a cloud of dust and saw a lone figure, a woman holding a bow while in shock of a approaching man. Rage grew from his chest as he saw a woman about to be killed. No innocent should face the pain of death. Spurring his horse, he pulled out one of his swords with such strength, a part of his sheathe was cut open, allowing a open side to be exposed.
The horse galloped towards the scene when he saw the soldier moving closer. Kalar could tell they were not bandits for one reason; they were too disciplined. Most bandits would spread out and fight against the weakest person or would fight one-on-one. Soldiers fight as a unit. Knowing such a threat could save any lives.
He felt the ground giving way and he was finally close enough that he would be able to help. Standing on top of his horse, Kalar jumped with the momentum to knock down the man. The sword he had been swinging went flying as he let go when hit by Kalar. Kalar's own sword was still gripped in his hand as he bore down into the lower abdomen of the swordsman. With a grunt, the life left the corpse and his last breath could be heard. He stood up and looked up to the woman.
What are you doing freezing in the middle of battle? Continue to fight if you want to live.
Turning back to the battleground, he stepped over the body and dashed towards a cavalier who was moving towards him. He lowered himself to the ground and swung at the legs of the horse. A crack could be heard as the front legs were broken by the cold steel of the blade and the man flew from the saddle.
Kalar looked towards another target when he felt his skin pierced. He did a quick uptake of air to be able to harness the pain. Looking to his right shoulder, he could see that the lance of the horseman had flown and hit him. He transferred his sword to his left hand and pulled the lance out with his right. Pain radiated from the injury, but Kalar simply felt invigorated. Finally, a challenge!
