Hyspian Soldados entering the Almarisian countryside

 

In Arenisca, the young adult had not imagined that he would be where he was now. As he rode at the head of an armed column, his memories of his youth came to him in rapid succession. First, he was with his older siblings playing in the streets of Arenisca. Second, he was sparring with his Padre in the streets of Elysium. Third, he was challenging his eldest brother to a game of chess. Now, he was leading a vanguard of Hyspians to clear the way for the women and children after leaving the war-torn Kingdom of Elysium. His mind snapped back to reality as a mounted soldado rode up next to him.

 

"Hermano, are you feeling alright?” said Baron Alejandro as he rode side-by-side with him. Cesar rubbed his eyes as his mind returned, and he then nodded his head. “Si, I am alright. How is…?”

 

“Papa is fine. He’s taking a nap in his wagon a mile or so behind us. Señora Frisket is with him.” Then, the Baron clad in Arenisca’s blue and black returned back to the rest of the column. Cesar de Pelear took a deep breath, then brought the armored Soldados to a halt. His horse turned to face his men, and after glancing upon each of them, he spoke out.

 

“Hijos de Arenisca!” He called forth, the men bearing the Black and Blue of his Fathers’ and now Brothers’ Barony cheering out in pride. “¡Los hombres de mi Padre y Hermano, escúchame ahora!”

 

“Hijos de Del’mar!” He called again, with soldiers bearing the Monet Red and Black cheering “¡Los hombres de mi Madre, óiganme ahora!”

 

“Hijos de Osanora!” He called a final time as the men bearing the White and Cyan of the long-forgotten County made themselves known in their proud cheers.

 

“Díganme, Hijos de Hyspia! Look to each other, and to the banners that each of you fly. Look at them, and tell me you do not smile with pride. Look to your ancestors, who served proudly under the Kings of Yore. Hyspia has not been united for many years but now, we shall finally achieve what our Padres y Abuelos always dreamed of! In a land beyond Norland, Urguan, Elysium, or Savoy, we shall once again reestablish a Kingdom long ago discarded.” 

 

The soldados cheered and lifted their banners and spears high as they reminisced on the stories they had been told. Stories of long ago glory, that many had dreamed would be returned once more. The Hyspian nobleman raised his voice once more, “Let the world hear you, Hijos de Hyspia! I, Cesar Monet-de Pelear, Son of Baron Javier and Baroness Frisket, shall lead you into the future! Stand with me and arise, Hijos de Hyspia!”

 

“VIVA DIOS, VIVA HYSPIA, VIVA CESAR!”

Cesar de Rivera the second of his namesake sighs as he hears of this new Cesar "This upstart is not only a fool, but also a thief, stealing my name and presumably my title."

"'¡Vamos Hyspia! ¡Viva DIOS!"

Said a middle aged bard as he approached the screaming, joining in the joyous bannermen.
