Red Mist

Hymm took off his Battered Hat and reported to the senior knight at the desk. Hymm looked around the new recruits lineing up outside and smiled to himself. 2Welcome to the scarlet mission boys and girls" he thought. he watched them do the physical jogging at different paces around the yard. one girl was faster than the rest. including the trainer, she completed the laps faster than any other recriut and stood panting hands on her knees. Hymm walked over to her "Nicely run Adept" Hymm said and stopped as the girl looked up. "Tabatha!" Hymm exclamed as the gril grined back at him "i wondered where you had got too!" Tabatha looked up at Hymm and said "Good to see you captain i wondered where YOU had wandered off to" both grinned then burst out laughing.

Day's later Hymm felt hppier than he had in years he had an old freind and wa back in the old relationship they had but never to close to break the oath he swore as a scarlet. they trained together and patroled together and both laughed at the others joke even the sadistic Gerris who turned up for a day seemed to be less shouty and more happy. Tabathas company changed the entire world around Hymm. Other crusaders seemed more relaxed and Hymm began to settle into another basic routine. His old Millita Habets where retuning.

After a few patrols came back with news of a different type of Creature attacking the patrol's Hymm became uneasy as he noticed his Group now including Tabatha had the most dangerous route from whitch most of the attacks had came from. The next day Hymm moved out with his patrol numbering 30 in all some adepts some Penitents but all scarlets. alnong the way Hymm began to feel his old senses kick in something was stalking the patrol he looked to Tabatha and both nodde both drew there blades and Shields ready for anything. Both wary and the rest of the patrol casual they moved up another few feet before something jumped out of the foalige at the road side. a rabbit looking scared hopped away and Tabatha turned to Hymm. "We've been stalked by a rabbit" she said smiling. (( cont))
