Both the Hounds and Cyrus stir, taking a moment to come fully aware and awake. The hounds because they have eaten well lately and Cyrus because of lack of sleep.
"what is it?" he asks just as he too picks up on the stir in the army. Stepping outside after grabbing his weapons he soothes the horses and asks for a report from the General/army representive..

No report is requierd as from the sky towards the end of the valley comes an unearthly shriek.
In the distance and gaining rapidly are a swarm of winged beasts. The same as was emitted from the hell gate.

"looks like its that time Althea, saddle up and best tell me what you what your intentions are if you have any specific matters that need addressing"
Cyrus himself puts on his robe, mounts the stallion and sling bow and quiver on his back, the Hounds he calls to his side and moves to wait, facing the threat from just within the outer ring of defences for the gate (who remain out of sight) checking that archers are ready and in place to shoot down the winged beasts if they venture too close or try to attack.
Cyrus stands his ground upon a Magnificent steed, flanked by his Hellhounds. He waits for a representive of the army he willingly allowed to come into this plane to show itself and parley....

Taking the mares reigns in her hand she steadies her before mounting her... stroking a hand along her fine kneck as she arranges her weapons.
Spinning her around she allows the mare her head before kicking her forward...
Looking at the advancing 'guests' with an inquisative expression...
*Thal?* the thought is brief, the dragon will understand her question...
"My intentions depend upon who leads them and to what ends....."

*Understood, we shall have to decide on the fly then and delay things as long as possible* Cyrus responds and , instructs the hounds to shift a little so Althea can guide her mount next to his own.

Moving swiftly through the air as a black heaving mass several of the winged beasts break away from the main group and plummet rapidly towards Cyrus and Althea's position. Their mouths split in course shrieks their taloned limbs before them.
From the trees the sound of many forms moving through the undergrowth is heard.

The dragon swoops into her mind flooding her senses.
*Morden*
*Morden*

Watching the creatures in their dive, Althea remains by Cyrus' side...
*Its Morden..... though whether he is here....if he know's a knight to be here, that will be his price*.....

*well he will have another thing coming, I have a better offer for him*
The command given silently by Cyrus, Heavy Infantry materialise before them and around the gate and hut in concentric rings, from within one of these rings, archers emerge and loose a warning volley towards the flying beasts.
In a clear bellowing voice he shouts
"MORDEN! show yourself, We would have words with you before we clash arms"
