knock knock! (SIEGE)

Nikolai followed close to the group as they neared the Arcanum boarder. It was too late to turn back now. His heart was pounding and it felt like every piece of hair on his body was standing on end. There was a low ruble of nervousness and terror under his excitement. Was this not what he wanted? A reason to wake up? Some purpose for his life? Now he wasn't so sure, but he had given his word and he was going to follow it through. He listened to Kassander's howl, that sound making it all feel far too real. Then, at his King's prompting, he raced in as well with teeth bared. If they were going to do this there would be no holding back on his part. So far his elbow had given him no trouble today... he just hoped that would stay the case for his own sake. He was sure they were going to meet quite a few vicious fighters in this battle, he didn't need any disadvantages today.
