C6 My Dragons

The castle is as large as a big field enough to contain a million people. A gold shinning high sit with gold snakes as designs. The steps to the mountain are made of crystal gold with 30 steps to the throne. King Elenor is sitted on the throne with his right man on his right and each lords of the 8 kingdoms stands in the council for an urgent meeting. A degree is brought out. The Right man reads;

"Let it be known to every men and lords of each kingdom that today,August 13,1707. King Elenor Flameheart,First of his name and protector of the eight kingdoms hereby pronounce that each lords of all kingdoms provide 50Cocubines,8 bags of silver,500military men and 300 slaves in the next 20days.Failure to do this will cause a dismember in such kingdom."

Confusion arises.The lords start to murmur

"My lord,how do we get all these and within a short period of time.

"we are still dealing with the famine issue my lor."

"My lord,I have a very small kingdom to get....."

"Enough!!None of these should stop the provision of these."

"But.."

"Not a word from anybody.Failure to do this,will lead to disemberment of your kingdom. You all may leave"

King Elenor stands up to take his leave,his hand follows.The lords begin to walk out in two's each wondering why he made such impetus Command.

"I heard there is a war coming."

"A war?"

"Yes,I heard the Silverthone are back to take revenge."

"That still doesn't make sense. He has 8 big grown dragons and....

"Dragons cannot kill the silverthone.Nothing can. At least for now."A bash wonders

Another bash wonders

"I think he just wants to increase his army and make his enemies fear him more. So ludicious!!"

"No.I don't think that's ludicious action. He made that because of something. He gave us a very short deadline for that almost impossible task.Something fishy is about to happen. I know him too well"

"That aside,where do we get 500military men"

The other man growls.

*****

The king is alone in his dinning,having his dinner. The advisor comes in

"Lord king,what you did out there is....."

"Stupid?impertus?outrageous?unthoughtful? Say whatever you want. I will still have it my way."

"Lord king...."

"I saw them,I saw the Silverthone."He says with a chill down his spine."

"How is that possible?"

"And they made it possible. Here they are,roaming around freely in my city again."

"Bring me more wine."Elenor says to his servant.

"Yes lord king"

"Aren't you inquisitive about what I saw again when I rode on Blaze?"

"Lord king.... I''

"I saw a small army full of Vqmpires They are coming for me and in due time,they will sire an entire army and take their revenge on me."

"Oh God!!."

"I banshed them ten years ago and now they are back. They help me take this throne and now they are back to take my life for my betrayal.Now you asked me why I made such degree?"He says as he sips his wine.

"Because my dragons are no threat to them. Dragon fire can't kill those damn mystrious creatures.I have to think of an alternative,I have only ten thousand soilders between me and the Silverthone.I have to use more men.I need at least double of their numbers to protect my throne and my life.".

"Lord king"his right hand man says speechlessly

"Lord king,it's Lord Tryion from the north"the guards says

"Oh!!let him in

"Lord king"He says bowing

"Come on,feast with us. Such a perfect timing for you arrival"

"Thank you my lord."

"Bring more food."

"My lord,if I may" lord Tyrion looks at the king's hand before proceeding

"....have a word alone with you"

The king signals to his right man to leave

"I'm so sorry for the loss of your wife."The king says

"My wife was such a good and selfless woman."

"She was neither of those,spare me the unnecessary words. Why are you here by this time."

"Lord king."

"I know you too well lord Tyrion,you are such a cunning and busy man."

"My king,regarding the order you made at the council earlier today. So many rumors are going round the kingdom regarding your fear for the Silverthone and rumors of their arrival."

"If you are here to hear the reason,then sorry to dissapoint you,I have no hidden agenda."

"Lord king,I have eyes and hears everywhere. The arrival of the vampires are not rumors they are absolutely true and they are planning on building their empire and marching to you."

"If you expect me to...."

"Let me help you my lord. I can give you thirteen thousand men right now"

King Elenor looks surprised

"How dare you bagain with your king?"

"This is no time for your pride lord king. You are at the loosing end. Let me help you"

He looks at Tyrion keenly. He knows Tyrion is about to play his games on him

"What do u want in return then?"

"One of your dragons."

"You must be joking,one of my..."

"Think this through lord king,thirteen thousand men of mine plus ten thousand men of yours plus five hundred men from each kingdom will make a good score your grace. Think this through lord king, I will take my leave. Have a good night rest lord King.

He says as he leaves the room leaving king Elenor in daze

"My dragons?"he keeps wondering
