OOC:Most countries of the time do not allow females into thier military. And the runners are part of the shrine's military. It was mostly to prove the fact that the Juzians have no gender roles IC: "Why you bowing to me?" Sunbound asked, smirking. "I just live here."
At that moment, a runner with the flag of the northern most territory made it to the Shrine. "Sunbound. Where is the Powerful Elder? I need to speak to him NOW! Noire Has been attacked by the Vatha! We need aid at once!"
The Powerful Elder came out of thhe shrine, flanked by a young boy. "Hoooy!" The boy said to the soldiers.
"Powerful Elder! We need Aid! Noire has been attacked by the Vatha!" The Runner said again.
"The Vatha? A bit far from thier raiding grounds, aren't they? How far in are they, and how many?" The Elder asked "Nearly ten thousand... I dunno how they mustered such a force... They've nearly made it to the Maka Border!" "All the way to the Maka border? That is terrible! I shall gather warriors immediately." A man stepped forward. He had been leaning against the wall the whole time. "I'll lead the Warriors." He said. "Mantar. Yes you will do! General, I hate to be Imposing, but the Vatha have picked this lovely day to attack the forest. Would you mind aiding us in fighting them back?" The Elder said The Boy suddenly spoke up. "Let me fight! Pleeeeeease? I can do it! Just give me a bow, and I can fight!"
The Elder was reluctant... "Fine, Hawkeye, you may join them, But follow thier orders completely!"

"I'm General Lee, sir." He bowed. "As for the Vakathans, we do have 15,000 Light Infantry, so we would gladly join in the fight. I only ask that you provide us with food if we run out."

"So we've heard. I say we get to a moveon, and quickly. Just let me send a letter to the Republic." He quickly scrowled down a note. He whistled, and a large bird came flying down. He handed the note to the bird, and it took off. "Now lets go."

The Juzian Warriors gathered. The Child Hawkeye joined them with a shortbow. Mantar stepped up. "General, Thank you for joining us. Damn Vatha never know when to stop. all the way to Maka, too..." He shook his head. "Let's move! You should take the solid roads, general." The Juzians began to run along odd paths-some little more than balancing beams strung across long distances.

"My troops can handle it. We are descendants of the Samurai, and havn't exactly severed all past ties." He motioned for them to head out.

They made it to places that had archers prepared for an attack. "The Katara Border. If only Hawk's Gate were north instead of south. But then I suppose we wouldn't be able to ambush as many slavers from the Roman Empiire."

The Biggie Landers prepared, lining up. Their shields formed a straight line, protecting their bodies. They waited patiently and with great discipline.

The Juzians continued on. "We haven't made it to the fighting yet. Maka and Noire are the hot zone. Enyon is sending reinforcements."

The soldiers marched onward, still in formation, just in case.

As they neared the Maka border, fire was seen nearby. "Probably trying to burn the trees. These trees make horrible firewood, as they will discover."
