The Great War

The Kingdoms

Varek turned away from Achillean, stepping off of the stone brick stairs and falling into the portal to the End. Achillean turned back to his horse with a smile on his face. He was happy to have convinced Varek to join them, knowing he was a stubborn but powerful Ardoni. He got on his white horse and lashed the reins, the horse bolted back the way he came.

Meanwhile, the icons of the kingdoms met at K'arthen sitting at an oval table. The military generals and kingdom leaders of each kingdom sat dormant, waiting for the host of the meeting to arrive.

"Kiyori, I heard your kingdom has been recently attacked, how have your defenses held them?" Hasan, the leader of Cydonia asked.

"Quite well! Despite their stubborn acts we have been able to hold our borders with stable enforcement." Kiyori, the general of Felden said. He was Kiyoshi's grandfather. Two knights at the giant wooden door walked to the handles and grabbed them, opening the door. Zulius Kaltaris entered the room, following him was Master Aegus Nestoris.

"A Kaltaris guard for a Nestoris Master... how unusual, will the other masters not be attending?" Nitsuke, the female representative of Felden asked.

"We will get into that later." Aegus said, taking a seat.

"Sulliman, how have your defenses held up?" Kiyori asked as Sulliman put his feet up on the table.

"With an Ender Knight defending the Great Temple of Crown Peak, we have hardly seen any penetration through our walls." Sulliman, the representative of Crown Peak said, pointing to an Ender Knight sitting next to him, Calian.

"I am dearly sorry for the lost of your comrade, I know you and Uron were close." Nitsuke said as the knights at the door opened it once again. A man in what appeared to be a metal suit walked into the room, two spears on his back. He wore the Arcanist Armor. The First Arcanist.

"I didn't know we had ghosts attending this meeting, welcome Ser Kaleo." Hasan said as Ser Kaleo sat in a chair, and stared blatantly at the group.

"What is said about my kingdom..." Ser Kaleo said as Sulliman cut him off.

"Stays between us, yeah we know. You and you're "Frostbourne" up at Gale Point... doesn't exist in the eyes of a commoner." Sulliman said as Kiyori nodded in reassurance.

"Don't cut me off." Ser Kaleo said as Sulliman put his hands up in surrender.

"Where is your military leader... or representative?" Zulius asked as Aegus tried to shush him. Ser Kaleo slowly turned to him.

"I am both." He said blatantly as Zulius shrugged, the doors were opened again as a Magnorite came through.

"Ah! You must be the host." Hasan said as the Magnorite nodded.

"The leader of K'arthen, Tempus." He said as he sat down, Kiyori leaned forward.

"So you must be the leader that gave name to the volcano west of my kingdom!" Kiyori said as he leaned to Tempus, and shook his hand.

"I believe we are missing one representative from Northwind..." Tempus said as the doors opened, and a human male entered the room, breathing heavy.

"Apologies for running late, the horse wagon was incredibly slow." The man said as he took a seat next to Aegus and Ser Kaleo.

"My military leader could not make it today, so I will speak for him and give you his decisions." He said as Tempus nodded, and pulled out a map, placing flags on the outposts that have been lost.

"Well it's a pleasure for you to join us, Erin." Nitsuke said as Erin smiled, placing his books on the table. Erin was a chronicler, Northwind was a scholar kingdom, full of intelligent beings.
