The sounds of battle faded to an eerie quiet, then came the sound of a trumpet followed by the growing thunder of hooves on dry ground.
The mist began to lift as a rider burst into the open....
It was like the viewer had been magically transported to a different time and place............

The 13th Warrior springs to mind, Ross. Horsemen looming out of the mist, and all that!
