[quote=TheDarkTemplar] Aaron lifted his lance above his head as he called out to Kido, "Ready when you are bud!" Returning his lance to his side and bringing up his shield Aaron prepared himself to get launched off his horse again. [/quote] "Alright, here we go!" Kido positioned his shield and lance as best as he could and somehow got the horse to start charging. It must have done something of the sort before, though, because he truthfully wasn't sure how he managed it. As the figure of the other boy on his horse approached, he could feel his heartbeat become more tangible with every second. Even though it was a normally quite powerful rhythm, it always became stronger in high-energy situations, so he'd have to be careful with it.
