@asddas193 @Regin34 As they pass under the rock of Erzaram's Point, it begins. The familiar chill of ice magic reaches out, freezing the ground on its way to the column, as black clad horsemen descend from the heights.
Standing and leaping from his litter, the king casts a spell of his own, a small sun radiating from his hands and melting the ice as it approaches the column. That's the end of the magical display, however, as the riders of the Hunt begin to charge into the convoy. Ard, Trista and Mirellia see three horsemen riding hard directly at them.
With the king off the litter and in the middle of the fight, Varrin and Isabella stand as the only people protecting Madeline, the noblewoman tumbling as the slaves carrying her litter run away in panic and drop her. Looking up, the siblings see two riders charging towards the destroyed litter, eager to finish the job with their maces.
