crossed my heart and hope...

It had been awhile since Delphi had been to the Battlefield. She had seen plenty of fighting around the mountains so it wasn't like she needed to be here. Yet, Vidarr mentioned raiding soon. A raid that would be her first. Delphi would be lying if she said she wasn't nervous. She wanted to do well, to succeed, to prove herself worthy of her father and Vidarr's praise. Was that so bad to want?

In her mind, it wasn't and that was why she was here. Lately, she didn't have a good track record of winning. Maybe if she got some under her belt before the raid, she'd have better chances of winning. Maybe if she got the experience, she wouldn't be nervous facing her first raid. The plan in her mind made sense. Go to the battlefield, get some experience, return victorious. Easy heckin' peasy.

Standing in the middle of the dusty plateau, she looks around. So far, not many to choose from. That was okay. She had planned to be here all day. Tilting back her muzzle, she calls out instead. Maybe someone will come to her.
