Promises of a Better Tomorrow

The Beginning

    Raids were happening on my lands again. Sighing I see the bodies lying on the ground, and a few folk walking around I strawberry blond is who I'm riding towards if I'm right it is the sisters the wandering healers from the Riley clan. I have seen them through out the villages but only recently have I ever needed to speak to them. My brother Collin and a few of my soldiers went around seeing who was left as I spoke to the young woman named Ainsley. She calls for her older sister Bonny Jean. A 5 foot woman with long fiery red hair a heart shaped face with a small pointy nose. Slowly come over as she wipes the blood on her small delicate hands onto a cloth. As she reaches Ainsley and myself I can see she is opposite of her sister in eyes. Hers are a deep emerald green with flecks of ice blue. She has the stance of a strong woman who doesn't put up with nonsense. She flashes a smile and politely acknowledges me. As I ask them to come to the castle. Ainsley accepts, however I watch from the corner of my eye that Bonny Jean will be the sister I better watch out for. She has already given a disapproval look at my looking at Ainsley. Sighing I watch the woman go back to their work as I go and see what my brother has assessed of this situation. I would be sending men to help these folks get to the village outside the castle. I know now war is truly coming.
