Their days and nights were spent preparing to defend their homeland for all who called it thus. Knight's and archers were in the lists or on ranges honning skills.
They had even begun to put their horses though manuevers and battle formations. Kae tried hard to not think of anything but what was to come, her children she knew were safe within the Castle walls and by the Gods of all she would return to them. To see them grow, see them smile, and tell them stories of their brave and noble father.
Having finished with practice and returning to her tent she looked at where her armor hung from the rafters... and with a finger traced the embloms of two countries emblozoned on the front of her chest plate." Hear me God and Gods... give me strength to do what I must for those I care about. Make my sword arm strong and my aim true. I want to raise my children til they are grown and leave to have families of their own. I want to see this land free, and those that call it home to find peace... and happiness once more." she prayed like she had never prayed before.
In her mind.... she heard Darius speak " My love, ye are the bravest woman I kna' and I am always with ye no matter wha'. Our children need ye and tis for them ye shall fight and live now."
She had closed her eyes and it seemed he was right there with her " Darius.... I love you.... give me your strength." she whispered.
Then sat at her small desk and wrote her final thoughts just in case. It would be taken to the Castle and given to Bess... a thing she had done many times before but this time.... this time was different for she was a mother now, a warrior as well.
Quillin hand as ink flowed across the page scripting her last words, before going to battle. When she was done she shook sand to dry it and dripped wax pressing her seal to it. If something should happen to her the seal was to be broke and her wishes told to those she mentioned.... until then they would be sealed until Dmitrii made it otherwise.
