Captain Esau George led his thirty-strong knights into the ravine up ahead. A few of them paid heed to their Captain's words and looked on both sides cautiously to spot any abnormality but the majority just relaxed in the saddle of their horses not bothered.

Fellow brothers, fasten your belts.

Our glory lies in the fight,

We instill fear and fright,
