Knight in a Tall Grass Field.

Sunday Night, Stayed at Derricks house.

I'm a Knight fighting in a field.  The Army around me stretches out for miles.  It's just before the sun is setting, the sky is orange and the clouds are a dark purple and swirling around moving fast in the strong wind that's swirling around me.  The wind picks up the seeds and pollen in the grass, small particles of flower petals and fluffy seeds float in the air, and the grass comes up to my knees.  Dew sparkles on the grass in the strong red sunlight as it billows in the wind.

I am dressed in typical knights clothing, jerkin, mail, and plate over everything.  My armor along with most of the armor from the army has a deep blue hue to it, some people including myself have red headdresses.   I'm in the back ranks, I cant see the enemy but I know it's the mortal army of an angry god.  The god is the one who is causing the storm.
The army that we are fighting is just a distraction for us, the god is really set on destroying a near by City/Castle.  As we are nearing the end of our long battle(and winning) we notice that the wind has changed while we were distracted by  the army.  The wind is now moving towards the city and a storm starts to form in the clouds over head.  Thunder sounds and blue lightning starts traveling from cloud to cloud.  As this happens the point of view zooms out to a Game of Thrones intro style map where you can see our location the storm moving and then the city/castle off in the south.  As the storm flies off towards the city the captain of the army and the high commanders come running over to me.  I pull out a device from somewhere, it's a kind of tablet device that shows the map of the land along withe topography and rivers, all the necessary geography.  I tell the commanders that I can try to send out a warning drone and hopefully it will get there faster than the storm.  I program it's flight into the tablet and send it off.  The drone is shaped like a beetle.  Black and shiny with 6 legs, it can fly, it's about 3 or 4 inches long.  We watch in silence as the drone flies off, we watch it struggle to fight the wind, and when it's out of sight I turn to the tablet device I have.  I watch as the drone is moving at a snails pace fighting the wind, and decide that if I can avoid this route the god might not notice it as much.  I plan a much longer route but my plan succeeds and the drone gets there a few moments before the storm, it lands on a tree and broadcasts video back to me and it's radio warning signal.  We look on as we see the maelstrom slowly descending on the castle.
The castle is situated in the middle of the city, raised high above the rest of the city, like a mountain.
Back in the field I tell them that the drone was successful but the storm is almost on the city.  An older knight who is the Lord of the castle and city that is being targeted comes up to me and the other captains and tells them how we must hurry back to the city to protect it.  He has a new young wife who is inside of his castle who may be pregnant with his only heir, as his only other two children(grown men) were killed in this long war.
