"Bid thee a moment of your time." Svendal walks over to a guard. "Can I borrow that sword?"
"Wh...why?" The guard says.
"A show of what I offer." Svendal says. "No harm will be done. I swear on my Lord's name."
"Do it, the idiot is true to his word." Logos says.
The guard hands over the sword.
"Thank you." Svendal smiles as he charges power into the sword. he then summons a demonic creature. "Now take the sword and kill my little friend. Worry not, it is a familiar I make from nothing. Not really alive."
The demon rushes the guard, who swings his sword, causing a blast of magical energy to shoot out and destroy it.
"And that's only with steel forged of man. We know dwarves, we can make you weapons and armor with enchantments to rival the things you fear. plus...I'm technically one of those things myself so I know what I am talking about." Svendal says. "Keep the enchantment as a gift Guard, but...don't use that sword for friendly sparring until you master the power. Otherwise you'll have a smaller circle of friends."
"Ildor will eventually force them into a situation where they will go from guest to prisoner, or at least your subjects. Vadris will see to that." Logos says. "By then it will be too late. Oh...and I was asked to give you this." Logos pulls out a piece of paper. "It is a threat assessment...from Gregor."

Drystan takes the paper and looks it over. he let's out a sigh "It's clear that Gregor is more than concerned...slavery...the slaughtering of entire villages? the things on this list are...archaic and frankly barbaric practices."
Vinitia looks at hte note as well "These are things that might come to our home if Vadris gets what he wants...The people here are mostly human, and on the other side..."
"Humans are slaves." Drystan nods and thinks. "We're...we're going to have a hard time getting everyone over that damned wall..."
Vortigern looks at him "so does that mean you will aid us?"
"I will..." the King nods "I will send you with some troops for support. Should this Ildor demand a reasoning for it, my reasoning is that slavery is an act that is unacceptable, and I cannot let innocents suffer. You may tell any freed slaves that do not wish to fight that they may seek refuge here in Cathitias..."
"I will meet with Caedmon and get his help as well." Vinitia says "Perhaps we can modify the wall to allow passage for troops..."

"My Lord Nostroth will lend his power too if it can be used. Thimos, his son, goes to free him now." Svendal says.
"One other worry. Vanora is in the company of the man who fathered Rhisart as well. My Queen...does she have anything to fear from him?" Logos asks.
"Not a question you should be asking." Svendal says.
"Prince Elias is in love with her, his enemies are mine. I'd like to know though who my enemies are." Logos says.

Vinitia looks a bit angry "Osiron Dracwall is a lonely man. He has faced many hardships and has lost much, but he is not some kind of deranged monster." she says "Vanora has no more reason to fear him than she does Drystan."
Vortigern looks upset by her words.
"Ah, that's right, Vortigern you dislike him for keeping me." she sighs "I know you feel he seduced me, but remember well that if it weren't for him Rhis would not be alive."
Drystan frowns a bit.
She looks at him "It was a one time thing my love...I promise. I care for the man only as a friend, and as Rhisiart's birth father."
"Ok...just....don't make any more friends while I'm alive..." he says.
Vinitia chuckles "Of course my love."

"It was a concern I sought put to rest, nothing more meant by it. I apologize for any offense and take full responsibility for it." Logos bows and remains bowing, as if awaiting something.
"I think he's expecting a flogging or something." Svendal says. "Need a whip?" He says as he pulls out a boa. "Whoops, wrong pants." He sends it away via magic. "I need to check these things before I leave home, so embarrassing."

"Logos, stand. It doesn't work like that here." Vinitia says.
Drystan stares at Svendal a moment, and rubs his forehead "God almighty...what have I gotten into..." he looks at Hyoma "How are you handling this my friend?"
"That's an odd question, it effects you more than me." he says
"Yes but..."
"Deal with your problems first my friend. They are numerous compared to mine." Hyoma says

Logos rises. "Forgive me, I just wish not to tarnish the good name of my Lord. He dos not believe in such things either but...for him I would suffer anything."
"Sorry, I promised to restrain myself." Svendal says. "My King, please, I know we're asking much from you, and I know how hard it is to fathom. But sadly things are in a downward spiral here. if someone doesn't take a stand to stop the tide of fate it's going to wipe all things out. The force we are at risk of dealing with can blink and poof, your kingdom is ash. Best you know now when there is still time to stop it. Ildor knows naught what is coming, the blind fool. So think of this as moreso you acting to open his eyes than trying to ransack his home. Beat some sense into his fool head. The High King forgets the power of man, someone needs a reminder and My Lord Drystan, something tells me your more than man enough." Svendal smiles.

Drystan nods "Yes...if he is unaware that darkness is coming than he must be informed....however...there is one more thing that troubles me." he looks at them "You say Rhisiart has been with....his biological father. Where will he stand in this? You said he loves their Princess, how will that effect him?" he questions
"As I said, I've made arrangements to distract him. With any luck I can keep him out of this." Rowan says

"No, be honest." Logos says. "The boy seems loyal to his birth Father...who is the King's closest friend." He looks at them. "We do not seek to harm the Princess in any way. Rondar simply wishes to bring his Uncle to Justice. You see, Vadris poisoned the last King, of this we have proof, but he framed one of Ildor's siblings for it. Rondar's mother opposed this and rebelled and was killed for it. Rondar wants Ildor to be tried for his crimes and removed from power, not killed. Vadris however...he needs to die for his actions."

Drystan nods "Than it shall be this Vadris who I declare war on. He seems to be a reaccuring theme in what's wrong here." he says "Now, do tell me you have a plan to get my people out of that place. I will not send troops through or make war official unless I know they will be safe."

"It seems your Mr. Bluestone, the being your wife knows as Gamuldar the Great, an immortal sage from our side, is working on a plan as we speak." Logos says. "If you knew of him you'd know that'd be enough. However he plans on working with Thimos on a way to liberate them via his teleporting, but we need Nostroth to have a shot at this. The Devil king...his might will be enough to hold back Vadris and Ildor."
"Don't let the name fool you. My Lord Nostroth's a bit like your Gregor though without the rod up his you-know-where." Svendal says. "A total bad ass if there ever was one."

"That so?" Drystan sighs "Well, I can't judge him based on the 'Devil King' title...considering I'm married to a demon." he smiles "What can I do to help?" he asks, trying to look at teh bright side of things.

"Firstly we need to find where Vadris' father is on this side and set up defenses. Proper ones can that can cope with a demonic incursion." Logos says. "That is the most immediate thing we can do. Secondly, we'd need official representation from you side. Something to tell your people already there that you stand against Vadris."
"Though something that can be sympathetic to Vanora. I hate the thought of it but we will end up hurting her emotionally like this. Not that i know her but if she is like her mother, she'll have her heart." Svendal says.
"A redeeming quality finally shows up. Intriguing." Logos says.
"Oh take the rod out of your ass kitty cat." Svendal says. "I'd suggest family."

"I will go." Vinitia says "I need to consult with Caedmon and Brann about these events, so I will be there anyways. Besides, it is likely she's going through similar things to what I did when I was her age, if anyone will be able to comfort her its me."
Drystan frowns "I don't like it. Darling you said your powers are weakened...you could get hurt."
Rowan steps forward "Step-father, you need not worry about mother. See, my brothers and I all have an innate desire to protect her. No one will harm her without the full force of our wrath coming upon them. As well, once she is united with Vito, he can return her to her normal form, which will protect her in itself."
Drystan sighs "If it is the only way..." he looks at Vinitia "You just...have to come back. I can't lose anymore Vinitia." he says
"I know darling, I won't be gone long I promise." she smiles
"If it will give you any relief my lord, I can accompany the Queen." Hyoma says

www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkoHPYmz_5M"Not alone she's not brother."  Walking into the throne room was a man dressed in a military uniform flanked by a large knight.  "It's bad enough Phillipe and the kids are over there without us, I'm not letting my lovely sister in law wander around that place without support. I, Francisco Aristide Du Charlemange will not allow this." The man says. Logos chuckles. "This family is it's own small army it seems." "You dare laugh at me talking Cat man? I am brother to the King, show some respect!! Don't make me sick Fortinbras on you." "I'm not an attack dog my Lord." The knight sighs. (OOC: Bios pending this weekend)
