Bears Of Bridgetown – Matt Barron

Prentice had his three sergeants—Sir Gennet, Porth and Guillam of the Fangs, Claws, and Roar respectively. Farringdon’s sergeants were Sir Sedgemark, Sir Nunel, and Sir Markas, who served as both banner sergeant and leader of the Lion Banner’s Claws, at least for the moment. The leader of Farringdon’s Roar had perished during the battles around Aubrey and in the rush had not been replaced.

Nunel had also been serving double duty in that regard. “I’ll need to promote someone in the next few days,” Farringdon had said as he met with Prentice privately earlier in the day. “Do you have any recommendations for me?” “Only that your judgement is sound, and you should trust it, My Lord,” Prentice had answered him.

“They are your men, and your word is law.” He wanted there to be no misunderstandings between them. With any matter that did not concern the combined command of the two banners, the knight captain did not answer to the knight commander for a thing, not even “advice.” The two-banner structure was not going to work any other way. Two others were present at the start of the meeting—Lyrach, former squire without sponsor and now a line first of the Gryphon Roar, and Solomon, who seemed to sprout new height with every passing week.

Already he was closing in on Prentice’s tallness, his limbs long and lanky as a result. “Lyrach I wanted you here to give you a choice,” Prentice had told the line first in front of all his seniors. “You are skilled with horse, sword, and shot. As good as most standing here.” “Good as some, mayhaps,” Guillam muttered, but Lyrach ignored the man. The pair mocked each other mercilessly but would have each other’s backs in the face of hell itself.

“I planned to ask Knight Captain Farringdon,” Prentice went on, ignoring the interruption, “to give you a horse of your own and a place with the lancers, though it would mean a demotion as they have no line firsts yet.” With only a single cohort and a horseman’s more independent mindset for combat, Farringdon had yet to need to appoint line firsts or even a corporal.

Nunel had been officer enough up until now.

Never mind the smell—it’s peculiar, but you’ll soon get used to it.” Cerulean cocked an eyebrow at his host’s assertion, and his upper lip twitched, as if to sneer of its own accord.

The “smell” was in fact a mixture of unpleasant aromas, although predominantly made of charcoal smoke, brine, and fish guts going to rot. It was precisely what the Inquisition’s man expected a dockside smokehouse to smell like, and that was what most prompted his distaste.
