Trystan mounted his courser in the courtyard of Hyland's Keep, their color flying high. "All in good time" he mumbled to himself. He was getting to leave Mount Promonon for the first time. He has read stories about the kingdom, all of its wonders and sights. Sure, he has gone hunting with his father and brothers, but nothing ever as far as leaving the mountain ranges. As he sat atop his horse, he adjusted his pristine armor, decorated in his family's colors and crest, making sure he looked every part the prince he is supposed to be. At his left him, one can see the hilt of a sword, definitely castle-made, judging by its craftsmanship. As his oldest brother began to move, he tapped the sides of his horse to get it into motion and followed the rest of the group as they made their way to Corevial castle.

Along the way, he heard whispers of a tournament in the princess's honor. The winner was to be chosen as the princess's lawfully wedded. Sounded interesting to him. But, with his older brother attending the event as well, he doubts he will get a chance to even enter the tournament, much less win it....

As he arrived at the castle, he approached the gate as all the dignitaries were ushered in. He left his horse for a stableboy to look after and marched in with the rest of his family, adjusting his clothing and sword whenever he felt as if they had shifted out of place. As he took a seat at the table prepared for his family, he greeted each one of his family members as he saw them, including his bastard half-brother Tiras. He looked upon the gathering, ale in hand, and listened as the King spoke to the rest of the people. So, the princess is thirteen. It sounds like she would be wed to a much older man, and Trystan wonders if that is such a good idea at all. However, he knew better than to let these thoughts slip from mouth.

The ale was much sweeter than he was used to back home, the food was...different...and Trystan has had enough of the courtly gatherings. He wanted the tournament to begin. He wanted to take part in it. He wanted to spear someone off their horse...
