1st Person POV
Yric Godfrey
"Good Morning Young Lord" as I stare at the man greeted me with my eyes still half-close, I sat at at my single sized bed as I tried to compose myself. 'Dammit! I still can't believe that those greedy Nobles and Royal Family ran away! If ever I survive this war, I'm going to exterminate their entire Clan!' I stood up and slowly walk towards the sink filled with water. As I stared at the wall I saw a mirror and stared at my reflection. Blond hair, Blue eyes beautiful like a sapphire which I inherited from my mother, perfect symmetric face but average. Which gives manly feeling. Moreover my height is the same with Father which is 1.93 meter tall, tall enough which can intimidate enemy soldiers.
After tidying myself up, I then went to the dining area with a table filled with food. As I sat down at the wooden stool, I saw Uncle Bernard my attendant passing by and called him with a voice strong enough for him to hear, "Uncle Bernard! Come, let's eat there's too many food. I can't eat these food all by myself."
But unfortunately Uncle only shook his head and smiled then politely said, "No Young Lord, I can't dare eat with yo-". My Father suddenly entered my tent interrupting Uncle Bernard, "Come, Bernard let's have some food, We need to strength to fight this war." My Father said with a big smile. I can only shook my a little and sigh at my heart 'How can Father smile brightly like that? When we're going to war' And I look at Uncle Bernard, I simply nod giving him the signal to eat.

After savouring the meal, Father and I then went back to my room to help me prepare and equip my armor. I saw the the silver plated armor with red-blood trimmings. Looking at the breastplates there's a Gryphon engraved which exudes an aura that makes you heart beats faster. And a great helmet covering my entire face. Then I stare at my Father as I look at him, his eyes started to mist.
Then suddenly, the enemy drums started beating 'boom boom boom', then the earth shook violently as the drums continues to beat. Father then rushed outside while I followed from behind then Father screamed on top of his lungs with a hoarse voice "PREPARE TO FIGHT!!" The army then form their ranks. "Come on! Move it!" Some officer shouted, "Vanguard! To the front! Mages go top of the wall! Archers and siege engineers behind the wall." I said, then stared up, the sky started to darken, covering the vast land 'it's going to rain, and a heavy one that is. The Gods are favouring us this time.' as the rain fall started to fall down, you can hear the armors clanking. The soil started to get slippery. "Sound the horn! Let's kill them all! As an offering to the God Of War! Fight to the death!" Exclaimed by my Father.
