Northern Conflicts

King of Micralanza

Amethyst stepped into the king's study but before she could finish saying your majesty a knife came sailing towards her head. It barely missed her just before king Sebastian yelled "We lost!" Amethyst laughed at how the message traveled faster than the messenger but he was in no mood to make jokes. Funny enough our young soldier did not mind him when he is like this because this was just him being himself nothing more and nothing less. She presented the jewel to him and it became a brighter blue . The jewel spoke "Five children sat on a hill Four rolled home but the fifth laid there, upon a hill dead. With neither mother nor
Father the children began to eat themselves. Two made an alliance One was driven with madness and the other was hunted." Amethyst was confused but the king looked like he knew exactly what the jewel was saying so she continued listening "The hunted cured the mad and now they are prepared to be the hunters. So you the hunter must know that the war will end in one way. With the lions being the sheep. The playing fields are leveled. "Just as how the jewel appeared it disappeared with no trace of its existence. The king however, sat frozen in the same spot he threw the knife from. It took a while for him to get back to normal but even then he seemed to not be himself.

"Father I may not be an advisor to your council but you did not raise an idiot. Whilst I will not ask for explanation because above all you are king and I am your subject, it is not healthy to take the words of a talking rock to heart." The king looked at his daughter and smiled, she had grown to be brilliant and she always went above and beyond expectations. "My child if I had given you more power your mother would have never let me hear the end of it. Such a nag." If there is one thing that Amethyst knew it was that Trantress is no mother to her. "Trantress may be mother to the land I fight for but she is no mother to me. She never was and she will never be." Sebastian was used to this display of hate when it came on to his wife and daughter. The lady couldn't stand her.

"Amethyst I want to give you something, it was passed down from my family for generations and I see it fitting to hand it over to you." She was concerned the king though a wonderful father was no giver. "Father why not hand it over to your first born son, that seems very fitting."
She did not say that because she cared about her brother being robbed of a birthright because if she was being entirely honest she has an entire vault with the birthrights she did not have to even steal from her siblings.
"Are you refusing a gift from the king?" The king card as Amethyst liked to call it was dealt. "I would never dream of such a thing your greatness."
Sebastian hand a wooden box to Amethyst "I king Sebastian Nãlan, Head of the house of Nãlan, descendant of Seth give you, Amethyst Nãlan, my blessings to be the keeper of the hidden. This burden is now yours to carry but be careful."
Amethyst left the king's pondering the outcome of recent events.

"Sir Enderwhich gather my belongings and I need you to pack my bags" King Sebastian turned to his most trusted servant who had just entered the room "Sire, may I ask why we are in such a hurry." Enderwhich asked with his head bowed down to the floor.
"For centuries we have been one step ahead of the other worlds but the message I just received means that they leveled up." The king looked fearful and that was enough to make his subjects fear the end of the world. Enderwhich then asked if he should inform the children and his wife about the trip so they too could pack their bags but the king refused he insisted that he did not need any extra baggage on his journey. Enderwhich then said with the utmost sarcasm entwined with respect" Of course sire why would I burden thee with priceless memories." Sebastian took notice to the tone but he did not dwell on it. "Sire a true Micralanzan never flees."

The king looked at his servant and smiled smugly "That term has no effect on me descendant of Cain. You are dismissed."
After Enderwhich left King Sebastian placed everything in order for his leave for if he was to complete his task he would have to play with strategy instead of love for the game.
