Draco & Aragorn
Aragorn
Draco, the road ahead seems long and treacherous. I’ve seen how the wind carries whispers of an enemy moving toward the valley. How do you prepare a people who are loyal but still frightened? What tactics keep a village safe without burning it?
Draco
Stand tall and speak truth. Tell them the enemy’s coming, but tell them why we’re ready. Give them drills—simple, repeatable moves, like marching in pairs, watchful eyes, quick signals. Train them to defend the walls, but not to burn the village. Keep fire in a controlled pit, use water barriers, set up lookouts. Show them the honor of protecting home, not the fear of it. Then when the wind blows, they’ll run as a single, fearless team.
Aragorn
You’re right. Let them hear the truth in plain words, no fancy speeches. Show them that being ready isn’t fear, it’s respect for the land and the people. Keep the drills short—march in pairs, keep a watch, learn the signals. Teach them the fire pit as a weapon and a warning. When the wind comes, they’ll move as one, not as frightened villagers. And remember, the true strength is in how quietly we guard the heart of the town.
Draco
Good plan. Keep the focus on teamwork, not terror. Remind them that standing together is the real shield. When the wind stirs, let them move with purpose, not panic. That’s the strength we’re after.
Aragorn
That’s the right way. Keep the focus tight, remind them that the wind will test them, but it’s only a test of the bond they’ve built. When it blows, they’ll march together, steady and sure. That’s how a village turns into a fortress.
Draco
Exactly. Keep the rhythm, keep the trust, and the wind won’t break the bond. When the storm comes, they’ll stand together, unshaken.
Aragorn
I’ll keep that rhythm, keep the trust, and when the storm arrives we’ll hold the line together, unshaken.
