that guidon to left---is not that the war crest
of the House of Maldemer? If they have allied
themselves with the Tancan armies we may be lost!"
"Aye, I'd know that purple crest anywhere! What do they
do here, I wonder?" I circled and climbed higher.
"What now?" asked Janora, "For good or ill, we must
know what we face! I go to spy the rest of the border!"
We flew the border east and west, and back again.
There were troops and war machines amassed at
every juncture. They were ready, what held there advance?
"I do not like this Janora, with this great army,
why have they not invaded? What do they await?"
"I no not the answer, but fear we will not like it,
there is a smell of evil about this."
"Aye, and, we do no good here! Back, then to
that wretched state!" And, I climbed higher,
turned and headed back. There will be a time of
war, a time of fighting! I sing my battle song.
"Haste now warrior,
now is the time,
A time of battle,
a time for war,
a time of blood,
and wounding.
Ho, griffen,
warrior bred,
for fighting you
are destined!
Fear not the
battle,
Clear the skies,
Griffens,
born to fight,
born to die!"
