I felt the light in my eyes slowly returning as my internal capacitors recharged themselves. My gear wheel was spinning at top speed, and after a few moments of breathing heavily, I rose to my feet. The Koopas maintained their perimeter around me, which gave me time to ponder what had just happened. I did not remember having such difficulty channeling the power of ice in the past. Had my control over the element atrophied during my dormancy? This too was troubling.
Regardless, I waved the Koopas away from myself as I prepared to rejoin the defense, but it would seem as though the remaining rogue preferred his survival over a death of integrity. With panicked eyes, the last man dashed off down the path directly ahead, leaving his own comrade dead in the dirt and three others writhing in pain.
Our side has casualties as well, though it seemed that the Koopa Troop was well equipped to address such grave circumstances. I observed their healers mend the broken soldiers, and as everyone went about collecting themselves, I approached Ludwig.
"It would seem as though the rumors of a Koopa regiment within Camelot are true..." I said, looking around at the assembled turtles.
"...I trust we should have no trouble finding our way to the Tangled Green, correct?" I say, my tone laden with subtext. I couldn't know what purpose the Koopa Troop had in Camelot, but they were an army trespassing on foreign lands, and this alone was enough to put me on guard.
