[h3][color=Silver]Marwood[/color][/h3] [hr][hr] Marwood cursed quietly as the party traveled through the tunnels, he'd failed already to protect the person Lord Rioga had entrusted him with... The family screw up at it again, he was never prince his brother was or a leader like his mother. Fiona nipped his shoulder leaned her head against his as if telling him it would be alright. [color=Silver]"Thanks, girl... You always know how to make me feel better even without a word."[/color] He added stroke her mane before pausing to look at Isolde, no doubt it hurt her too... She was a knight and this had been her task as much as his. Marwood tapped Fiona's side as climbed on to her back and moved towards Isolde placing a hand on her shoulder. [color=Silver]"You aren't useless. We were surprised... We will find her but this isn't a one-man mission... It takes a team we need start to working like one rather than blindly rushing off alone."[/color] He added trying to reassure Isolde. [color=Silver]"Rallying anyone we can sounds like a good plan."[/color] He added using his own tactician's stone, seeing the kids in trouble. [color=Silver]"Were outnumbered by a lot here we should stick together." [/color]He looked to the rest of the group, while he did have battle experience so he decided to try and take charge. [color=Silver]"Isolde out in front I'll be right behind you with my lance, try to engage the ones with axes for me. I can handle swords and lances."[/color] He answered clicking his tongue as he drew his lance giving it a spin.[color=Silver] "We are going to win the day. We're going to get away and prove we can do this... It's our duty."[/color] Marwood answered looking at the others, before Fiona shook out her mane and dug her hooves in. She was as eager for battle as her rider.
