Chapter 1: Choice
Kaden strode to the Great Field. This sacred pasture, shared by all three Castish tribes, had been the place where mounts were chosen since time immemorial. He was to meet the tribal shaman, who would guide him to a decision. Only his best friend Brier had come along, somewhat awkwardly, atop the bossy wyvern he'd chosen, his other friends having apologetically declined, citing pre-existing plans. Kaden felt sure they involved jousting sessions or other training atop their new mounts-- he was, after all, the youngest. However, he felt determined to get more glory than any of them... well, except maybe Brier, a strong and self-assured but compassionate lancer who'd finally met his match in his strong-willed wyvern, Risskozai. The swordsman possessed considerable strength as well, for one his age, and hated being left out of things; he wanted a tough mount, somewhat to prove his worth. Brier resisted the urge to race ahead and allowed his younger friend to keep pace.
Kaden, feeling apprehensive, hastened his step. In a few minutes he arrived at the perimeter of the field, short of breath but excited.
Brier: So, Kaden? What's it gonna be, buddy?
Kaden: Oh... I don't know. I want to fly, but past that I'm not sure.
Brier: How about another wyvern? They're cool, but kinda... you know.
Kaden: What, can't handle that thing? Hehe... nah, not a wyvern, can't be very comfortable. Let's see... pegasus?
Brier: Sure, I mean... if you're into that sort of thing.
Kaden: What are you talking about?
Brier: Never mind. Uh... hey... why don't you ask the shaman for advice?
Kaden: Good idea.
The two glanced in all directions. Confused expressions entered their faces.
Kaden: He's... he's supposed to be here, right?
Brier: For every ceremony. Of course. He was at Shay's, Mazel's, Carus'... where the hell is he?
Kaden: I don't know...
Brier: Let me fly up and see what I can find.
Risskozai, after a few moments of reluctance, grudgingly took wing, beating higher and higher into the air. Brier shouted in dismay.
Brier: Gods! I think I see something... maybe I should go scout that out. Might be dangerous... but we should do something about it soon... they're on the move...
Kaden: I'll...
What do you want to do?
a) Grab a mount and fly up
b) Follow on foot
c) Run back to the main camp (half day's walk) and try to get some more people
d) Something else

Kaden: ...be right there!
Kaden leapt up on the nearest mount with wings, a sleek griffon, and urged the creature into the air. The griffon hurled him off impetuously.
Kaden: Aaagh... dammit! Come on!
The swordsman climbed back on with a firmer resolve, commanding the beast to take to the skies. With a toss of its head and a low cry, it obeyed this time, taking its time as it ascended. Kaden hung on tooth and nail until he was about a hundred feet up, at which point he started to get over the fear and looked around him. The vista was amazing, but as he neared Brier he observed the problem off to the northwest. Silhouetted against some very distant mountains a large group could be seen moving in single file. Shapes were impossible to determine at this distance, but the head of the line seemed to be disappearing into the range, presumably entering a mountain pass.
Brier: Want to go?

Brier: Right. Let's get down.
They lowered their altitudes, as always with some difficulty. They grounded themselves and crept up closer.
At a closer distance, more could be made out of the group. There were close to perhaps two hundred people there, three of which were guarding an unconscious prisoner on a horse. More details were undiscernable. The line was going into a mountain pass, as they'd seen from the Field.
Brier: Alright... what should we do?
a) Something (you say)
b) Look around more (I'll give you more details, you can decide then)
c) I dunno, whatever you want (Brier will decide)

Kaden: Let's keep checking around, maybe we missed something.
Brier: Okay.
The vast majority of the group was mounted on horseback, with some other animals interspersed here and there. The guards around the prisoner shifted out with another set and fell back a little, slumping tiredly on their steeds. The pass itself appeared to hold four abreast, less if larger beasts were traveling through. The line was not in fact single-file as they'd believed, but in fact rode four to each precise row. The outside riders towards them glanced around nervously every so often when not talking to the people in front or back. The prisoner was towards the back of the formation, of which about half had passed into the mountains. The two shared these observations and considered what to do.
Any ideas?
