Two hundred riders, their steeds restless and snorting in the cool air, descended the hill in a wave of dimly glowing embers. The descent was measured at first, the rhythmic clatter of hooves muffled by the damp soil,as after all there was no use into forcing one's horse to go all out since the start.

As they closed the distance, the golden glow of the torches reflected in the eyes of the riders, illuminating faces hardened by past battles for some , with for the others still green there was onlu the presence of the thrill of their first charge, the rustle of their movement blending with the whisper of the wind.

The camp below was oblivious to the storm approaching it. Each light of each torchlight, making the riders looks like embers or stars

Each step of their advance brought the camp's crude outlines into clearer sights of campfires sparingly burning ,and the faint silhouettes of men who slumbered unaware of the fate bearing down on them.

 What little peace the rebels clung to would be shattered before the next dawn.
