The day prior had been used to rest and prepare for Anann knew that sleep would not come to her that night. In the twilight hours she began the laborious task of gearing up Rem in his leather and steel armor. The thick layers of leather guarded his sides and flanks and wrapped his lower legs to both protect and strengthen the valuable tendons. The thin plate metal armor guarded his chest and neck and added even further protection to his legs.
Once she had double checked every piece to make sure that it was fitting properly and allowing the horse free movement without seeming to pinch or bind that Anann readied herself. Wrapping her chest in a soft, wide strip of leather and the dual cavalry sabres strapped to her back. Together the duo made their way towards neutral territories to where the forces would gather before crushing the Guardians that had brought these lands to turmoil.
Nervous energy had filled the brisk morning air as friends and strangers alike prepared for the coming chaos. Once forces began to move to encroach upon the AniWayan borders Anann mounted the war horse at her side and drew the longer of her two swords. It held no razors edge, its form left blunt and dull but that would matter little as horse and rider charged through enemy forces. The force of its strike could still split skin and shatter bone.
