Marachius Ainsley

Going On Patrol

Marachius milled around the yard with the nine other men. The commander hadn’t explained what was happening other than telling the young men to gather their gear and be ready to go immediately. So the ten men stood near each other, talking quietly about what they suspected was happening. After a few minutes, two captains came walking out of the Cathedral dressed in full gear.

“Alright paladins, we’re going on a patrol of Elwynn today. You five will be riding with me,” the captain said as he pointed to one group that included Marachius.

“And you five are with me,” the other captain said to the second group.

“We’ll be out for most of the day. There are supplies waiting for us at the stables.”

“Ainsley. Samson. Did you two bring your kits?” the second captain asked. Both of the trainees nodded in response.  “Good. You’re our medics today. I assume no one will get hurt. But if they do, its your responsibility.”

“Yes, sir,” the two answered.

“Good,” the first captain continued. “Alright, trainees. Get to the stable and find your horses. You are to be back here and ready to go in ten minutes.”

“Yes, sir.”
