Soren watched his soldiers, his Knights, as they marched toward the place where Excalibur would be. They were late, he had planned it that way on purpose. He knew when the battle was to start and would be there on time beforehand, but he didn't want any communication between his soldiers and those from Excalibur, so he planned it this way.
He watched his soldiers as they talked with one another during their march. He'd made an announcement that this would not be an official march today, thus giving them permission to mingle with one another while they made their way toward battle. He wanted his men (and women) in high spirits and allowing them to talk with one another would accomplish that.
He was excited. He couldn't remember the last time he'd been so excited for a battle. He couldn't wait to see the look on Elin Dragon-Rider's face when she saw his secret weapon. He couldn't wait to unleash it against two unsuspecting opponents. It was going to be the epitome of his career, the highlight of his reign as Grand Prior. He would be talked about for centuries because of this grand scheme.
Finally they reached Excalibur's borders. He stopped his company and waited there, wondering if Elin would have the respect to come and greet him. No matter. Showing him respect or not, he was going to turn on her today.

Pyria wasn't technically a Knight, but her father had trained her excessively with a sword. Still, she wasn't to be fighting in this battle, no. She had just come to see her father and his army off before the actual fighting started. She rode on her black horse beside her fathers side and, once they reached Excalibur, would have to turn back and go into the underground once more to wait out the battle. She didn't want this battle to even be happening, and her heart wrenched at the sight of her friends and comrades in arms marching in uniform preparing for battle.
"Father, please be careful," she said, finally speaking up with a flat tone and glancing at her father beside her. She wouldn't tell him how she really felt, about how the battle was dangerous and pointless. No, she would keep her mouth shut for now. She loved her father and was not ready for the inevitable argument that would come from her spouting her beliefs that everyone and every creature should be equal. That Excalibur had the right idea...
No, for now, as they approached Elysium, Pyria would have to play it safe. For now.

Soren turned as he heard his daughter's words. He looked at her and smiled proudly. In all the destruction, battles and pain, all the things he reveled in, she was the light. She was the one thing that could turn him from his anger and hate, the one who brought joy into his life. "Of course I will. My men too," he said, matching her tone. He sensed that she was worried about her friends, the people she knew so well that were about to join the battle. "I promise, we will return. Triumphant." He didn't want to seem weak, especially with other Knights so nearby, but he wanted to be near to his daughter before the battle started. So, ever so slightly, he lifted his hands from his sides, hoping that she would sense it, his desire for a hug. He wanted to hold her in her arms, hopefully not for the last time, but who knew what this battle would bring. However, he would not make another move unless she did. She knew him well enough. He hoped she would know what he wanted. Pyria Amberle Krauss

She nodded as he spoke, hoping he wasn't only just saying those words to try and cheer her up. It was working, a little, but she still felt a pit sinking deep within her stomach. As he lifted his hands she leaned forward, wrapping hers around his waist. "I can't lose you too," it was almost a whisper, really, and she pulled away sooner than she would have liked. Straightening up, she glanced at the Knight army beside them before turning back to her father. "My love is with you." She placed her right hand over her heart and lifted the hand toward him, in a salute manner. SOREN KRAUSS

Soren returned the quick hug his daughter gave him, relieved that she did it even though it was in front of his army. He always felt more peace when he had the chance to hold her before a battle. She was his light, his princess. "You won't lose me,"he mumbled into his hair, a promise no one else could hear. He gave a brief smile at her words and salute and he nodded in return. There wasn't much else he could do in such a setting, not if he wanted to keep the respect of the soldiers that fought underneath him. "And with you, my Pyria. Journey home safely and I shall see you soon," he added, hoping that she would return to headquarters without delay. He did not want her anywhere near this battle. Though he'd made sure she knew how to fight, he never intended for her to need to defend herself. Not while he was around. With that, he turned his attention to the battle in front of him. There was much to be done here, much to be sure that he was ready for. Rodrigo and his group had better be ready for this or there would be consequences. He wasn't used to disappointment and did not want to start now. However, there was nothing he could do about them. They knew his orders and hopefully would do their best to accomplish them. "Morgana," he called as he searched for her. Wherever she was, he wanted to make sure they were both on the same page, entirely ready for what was about to happen. MORGANA Pyria Amberle Krauss
