Arrows of the Centaur (Part 4)

Dai gazed at Yu and he grinned at her. "Just trust me during the battle." Dai advised Yu. Yu beamed at her.

"Of course, I will trust you. I have to trust you since you are my husband." Yu tells Dai. Dai beamed back at her.

"Good response." Dai vocalized. He didn't want to fight the centaurs, but he had to to get pass Moconia. Yu stared at Dai.

"We can do it, Dai." Yu tells Dai. Dai gave Yu a small smile and she returned it with a smirk that would have normal men running for the hills, but Dai knew and understood that Yu was ready for the war against the centaurs.

With the centaurs, the commander was harshly training them to withstand attacks by fighting against his own soldiers. The soldiers were frightened, but the only way to survive is to fight against their brutal commander. "Rage at me, you spineless maggots!" He shouted at his soldiers. His shout and choice of words only frightened the centaurs even more.

The commander couldn't believe the behavior that his men were exhibiting. They are acting like newborn foals! He thought in anger. He rushed towards the weakest member of his army and another soldier fought him off, defending his fellow centaur. "You don't have to attack him to get me into the training regime." He told the commander coldly. The commander smirked at him.

"It lead you to fight against me." The commander in a voice that says 'however'. The other centaur growled and he reached for his bow and arrow. The commander suddenly held a sword at the weakest centaur in the army. The other centaur froze, not wanting for his fellow centaur and friend to get hurt. "Good. You do respond best when he's in harm way." The commander says like he has gotten all of the information that he wanted. The centaur growled softly. "Dismissed!" The commander shouted at the soldiers, pulling away his sword and leaving the training area. All of the centaurs left, against for two of them.

"Arios, are you alright?" The centaur his friend as he helped him up.

"I'm fine, Hades." Arios answered Hades. Hades growled to himself.

"He had the nerve to threaten you." He growled out, not shocking Arios, but it startled him enough to try and calm him down.

"It's okay, Hades. He didn't hurt me." Arios convinced Hades that he was safe and afterwords, they went off to mingle with the other commoners.
