We were in a big field a few miles from the Castle, me and Griffith were there lying on the grass. Our armor off and us in our shirts, pants and boots. Griffith was relaxing with his hands behind his head and eyes closed. I was also on the grass, reading my book with one leg over the other

Ivan: You really think Corkus's plan is gonna work?

I said, not turning my attention from my book

Griffith: Don't know, I guess we'll have to wait and see. How's the book?

He looked over

Ivan: Its good, I'm almost at the best part

It was quiet for a moment until -

Griffith: Romeo and Juliet die at the end

I closed my bookbworh a loud 'Clap' and groaned loudly

Ivan: God Dammit Griffith, you ruined the book!

I threw the book at him, it hit his shoulder and he put his arms up in a playful surrendering gesture while chuckling

Griffith: Sorry about that

Ivan: Sure you are

We both leaned back down in the grass

Ivan: * Sigh * Whatever, I'm reading Edgar Allan Poe next

We stayed like that for a few minutes, enjoying the warm sun and the calm wind on our skin. I hears some commotion with the others, and felt dust land on my chest

Ivan: Oh dust, what is it?

Dust hopped closer

Dust: Master, your comanion's plan is failing

Ivan: Is that so?

Griffith: What's wrong?

Ivan: Its Corkus's plan, it's --

But I was Interrupted by a Loud scream of pain and Anguish

Griffith: Not doing so good huh?

Ivan: Yeah

Casca: Told you so

Casca said, sitting behind us

Griffith: Casca, go help him

Casca: Why should I? This was all Corkus's fault

Griffith have her a calm look and casca signed before getting up

Casca: Yeah, I get it

She walked to her horse and put on her helmet before riding over to help

Ivan: Dust, go with her. Call us when she's in trouble

Dust: Yes master

He flew off and overlooked the battle over the hill

Ivan: She's gonna die

Griffith: Probably, we best get ready

We stood up and each put on our respected armor, after we finished dust flew in

Dust: Master, Casca is almost killed

He said calmly before he flew back off, Griffith put on his helmet while I set my swords on my waist. We both got on our horses, mine was similar to Griffiths expect my horse was black instead of white. We rode off to see guts about to kill casca, Griffith threw his spear and it landed near his feet. He stopped what he was doing and liked at Both of us riding up to them

Casca: Griffith! Ivan! Careful you two! This one is stronger than he looks

We step closer till I put a hand on Griffiths chest

Ivan: I'll handle this Griffith

He stays behind while I ride closer. I see casca on the ground, blood leaking out of her lip. Her horse had her front feet cut off. I can hear the surrounding men cheering for me

Corkus: Its all over for your now!

: Have at him Ivan!

I ride up next to the both of them while Griffith stayed back and observed

Ivan: I don't suppose we can't talk this out?

Guts didn't say anything but raised his sword

Ivan: Too bad, this could of been avoided

I take out both of my swords, he runs up to me but I blocked his sword with one of my swords. I then quickly use my other blade and stab him where his armor didn't protect his skin.

Guts: Too fast

He staggers back, looking up into the sky

Guts: D-dammit

Was all he said before he fell down to the ground defeated. The men behind to cheer while I set my swords away

: Yeah Ivan!

: He never had a chance!

Corkus: You got him in a single stroke

I rode over to the wounded horse and Griffith overlooked guts, casca walked over soon after

Ivan: Sorry casca, she's losing too much blood. Excuse me......

A soldier that was passing by stopped

Ivan: Please put her down, nothing else we can do

He nods and I shift my horse to face casca

Ivan: Sorry about your horse

Casca: Its not your fault Ivan, it's him

She said that last word as if it was a poison

Ivan: Well, best get over it. He's gonna be our new member

Casca looked at me in shock and disapproval

Casca: What?! He can't join us! He's --

I raise my hands slightly and she stops

Ivan: Its not my decision Casca, it's Griffiths. Now, come along

I ride over to where guts and Griffith are at, casca reluctantly had to follow. I rode up next to Griffith

Griffith: Ivan, carry him on your horse and take him to the camp

I heard many remarks of denying him to come with us

: He can't! He's too unstable!

: He'll kill everyone when he wakes up!

Ivan: Alright, that's enough!

I said with authority, they ceased their talking while I threw guts over my shoulders

Ivan: Its Griffith's choice, it's not in our power to either agree or disagree with him.

I put him in my horse and I get on too

Ivan: It it makes you feel better, I'll volunteer to keep an eye on him. Is that ok Griffith

I look at Griffith

Griffith: Of course Ivan, now everyone pack up and let's head back to camp

Ivan: And we better hurry, If he losses too much blood, he'll die

Casca rode over in a new horse fork one of the dead members, and we all rode back to camp. While riding, I rode next to Griffith

Ivan: You know he won't just join you after technically kidnapping him right?

Griffith: Yes, your right. But when he wakes up, he's gonna want revenge. I'll give him an offer, if I win his live is mine to command but if he wins then I'll die by his hand

Ivan: You sure like making wagers with complete strangers don't you?

Griffith: Only with people who can help in achieving my dream

Ivan: Don't worry Griffith, you'll have your own kingdom in no time

Griffith: Of that, I have no doubt

And we rode off into the forest, to our hidden camp
