The Battle Begins (1)

Note: Parental guidance is advised because of some harsh language and bloody scenes

The sky is dyed in the orange afterglow of the setting sun. The waves are splashing calmly along the beach near the small pier. A pair of guards are on patrol, walking along the sandy pathway of the beach.

"It is kind of boring to guard this desolate place." One guard said. "Don't you think?" He asked his partner.

"Well, kind of." The other guard replied. "The sound of the waves make me kind of sleepy. And the smooth wind just makes you just want to lie down somewhere and sleep."

"Haaahhh…" The other guard sighed. "When will our shift end?" He asked.

"Probably not some time soon." The other guard replied. "The others are preparing for the surprise attack we will launch in the port city of Veluria."

"That is where the king of Grandcrest is residing currently, correct?" The other guard replied.
