	Two horsemen were galloping across the Ylissean-Plegian border back towards Ylissean territory.  When the Church of Naga and their allies declared their ‘crusade’, everyone knew that these religious zealots would sooner or later target the Plegians because of their ‘heretic’ beliefs.  Since Plegia had suffered much civil unrest since the defeat of Grima by the Shepherds, the Ylisseans preemptively sent some forces to bolster the Pro-Ylissean government that was now ruling Plegia.  When the Crusaders’ attack finally came, the leadership in Plegia realized that they would need more reinforcements if they wished to prevent Plegia from being wiped off the map.  Therefore, they sent two brothers, Aloysius and Marius, the Viridian and Crimson knights.

	As they crossed the border, the brothers saw a convey of Ylisseans become under attack by what they assume were either the forces of the Church or their allies.  By their count, they guessed that there were at least 20, if not more, hostiles surrounding the train of wagons.  Furthermore, someone had become separated from the rest of the convey, placing that individual at great risk.

	“We’re going to need to make a quick stop.”  Marius alerted his brother as he veered his horse, Bucephalus, towards the convey.

	“But what about the message?”  Aloysius asked Marius.

	“If we don’t do anything, our reinforcements might have some trouble traveling past here.”

	Therefore, the two cavaliers charged forwards towards the left flank of the convey, where several axe-wielding soldiers were approaching a single myrmidon.  Marius first garnered one of the axmen’s attention by tossing a javelin in his direction.  While the projectile missed its mark, Marius’ brother drew his iron sword and struck down the warrior.

	“Look alive, swordsman!”  Marius shouted to the myrmidon, “There’s still three more of these guys here and many more around the corner!”
