[b]"Alright, maggots! Time for our fun little exercise to start!"[/b] The man waited for a few seconds with his hands behind him, standing upon a box to rise above the [i]others[/i], looking down at the trainees.

Let's not give Chief Zachary an excuse to take our horses away."[/b] With a quick large steps, he got to his favourite mount, a dark brown, large horse. After a moment, he quickly hopped over the saddle. He noticed some large pockets next to his legs, dangling from his seat, strapped just tight enough that it wouldn't spin. Checking the contents, he noticed six flares; two red, two green and two black, as well as a map.

It just had some areas marked with flags indicating the location of the objectives on the paper. There were numerals next to the drapes, as well as a note on the bottom right corner. [b]Important landmarks are smaller than they look.[/b] [i]Well, this isn't helpful...[/i] Joseph stuffed it back in. He hung his bag on the lighter side and turned to his teammates. [b]"Let's quickly head out and choose where to go first."[/b]
