Hourglass Soldiers are vile souls lost in the remnants of battle...
Arris burst through the doors to the main chamber. He had lost his usual calm personality, which was replaced by a rage that could be felt by all in the room. "The Hourglass of Sorrows has been found shattered and five children have been gone missing, including my younger twin brothers. We will be sending a raid at once." A small group of Arris's trusted friends and warriors immediately grabbed their cloaks and weapons. As his group of warriors, well known as the Wyverns, reached the stables, Arris noticed the unease of his dear friend Xinan. "State your unease, friend, and then forget it. The plains are no place for distractions." Xinan had a serious look on his otherwise gentle face, "This I know. But if the sands held captive by that hourglass have been released, then it's certain that the Hourglass Soldiers have been as well." Arris replied, "Can you seal them once more?" Xinan hesitated, then nodded. Arris returned the gesture and mounted his *Go-thark before turning to the others. Four faces turned to meet his steady gaze. The Wyverns were ready. "Today we ride to bring back our kin. Today we fight for our people. They have faith in us! Don't fail them!" The Wyverns then rode towards the city gates with a loud battle cry, and into the perilous plains ahead...
*Go-thark are horse-like beasts that are used as mounts in battle. WARNING! Go-tharks are incredibly fast, and very vicious.
