Failing the First Test

Henry and four other newly appointed knights left the blacksmith with one goal in mind: ride back to the fortress.

However, it seemed that the commander and Sir Alix had forgotten to mention that wearing armor would elicit unwanted attention. With each person who stopped them, it made the task at hand much more difficult than simply riding from one point to another. 

At first, they were stopped simply because people had questions about why knights needed to be fully armed when there were no battles nearby. Then the situation became much more dire. 

It was purposeful that Commander Lothian chose land far from Hydrogia because it would give knights in his order more opportunities to face monsters. His only goal was to create the strongest knights, after all.

As soon as Henry heard a woman scream, he knew it wasn't something he could ignore despite not knowing how well he would take to his armor.
