The prospect of leading a group of warriors into a battle against a superior force was not conducive to his mental well-being. Nevertheless, he set out to do his duty.The ride passes quickly to him, his makeshift plan folded and tucked safely into his belt pouch, his mind already having memorized the layout of his force. His eyes are cold as he dismounts and surveys the actual battlefield, the barricades and the trees beyond…His mouth drops open at the sight of the arrow barrage, and with a muttered curse he rushes for cover. “Damned fools had to use an open field,” he grumbles quietly. As he crouches behind the barricade, he begins uncoiling his chain, his mind going through a short focusing trick Tharivol taught him…The thought of his old teacher once again brings up old memories… Memories Jareth, for once, doesn’t push away. He quickly sees the faces of his brother, sisters, mother, and his father. Ah, yes, his father… The man without whom Jareth would not be here, in more ways than one… The man who Jareth had grown to despise… The man who still had loved him to the end… The man who Jareth had sworn to avenge. His memories would give him strength today.He looks over the soldiers assigned to his command. With a short nod, he acknowledges each one, not giving a rousing speech or even a word. It isn’t needed. For on this day, on this field, Jareth Kyras, last surviving man of the Kyras line, would lead these men through their own personal hell and on to victory.He stays crouched down until the arrows stop, then arranges them with short words and quick gestures. He stands, looking over the barrier at the advancing lines, a growl building in his throat. For this day, his vengeance would begin.[sblock=OOC]Okay, where is everyone ending up? This is what happens when no one sticks around/pays attention to discuss troop layouts… I’m still going to keep as much as possible to my formation plan posted a little earlier.Also, Init: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2568041/" target="_blank">10</a>.[/sblock]</blockquote>
