Conquest

Swoosh! 

A rift opened up in the middle of a sparse forest, beside a wide path that was wide enough for carriages. 

A curly-haired teenager walked out. Two swords were strapped to his waist, which was around the top of his brown pants. 

He looked into the portal as a more mature looking man with a well-trimmed beard pushed a cold-faced beauty with pure silver hair. 

She was indeed attractive but the men around her overlooked that.

The second man had a broad sword strapped to his back. He also wore a white tunic and brown pants. 

A gray-haired man stepped through the portal. He had something wrapped in cloth at his back and his handsome face was kissed by the sunlight.

Swoosh!

Another portal was opened and after they entered it, they appeared on a broad path. About some hundred yards away stood the walls of Tiberias, the capital city of Tigris County. From here, they could see the giant tiger statue.
