"It has been 10yrs since The Second Great War; Ardonia has seen few skirmishes, mainly Against the remaining undead that were not brought back into The Nether. No matter, I feel an old enemy is returning; I have heard rumors of an army being raised in The Nether, an elite task force apart from the normal army. If we wish to avoid another war we must act now" finished Sparks

The five Ardoni clan masters regarded her in silence, finally Anon Nestoris spoke

"We appreciate this lead Spar, but no thanks; The End has complete control over The Nether. War is not coming, and you are paranoid"

"I am not! You have not watched The Nether as I have"

"Ky'Anon is right Sparks" cooed Master Milta Mendoris in her soft voice "You have persisted to tell us many rumors in the past 4yrs, we looked into all of them and found nothing"

Anon fingered his staff as if preparing for a fight "We request you leave now and do not return with any of your 'findings' unless you have sufficient proof"

"You want proof? Come to The Nether with me, watch for just two days" pleaded Sparks

"No! We all know you have a personal reason for your zeal to destroy The Nether, maybe it is clouding your judgment"

"Or perhaps Sparks' rumors have merit" entered Senn Voltaris "We may not have looked into the situation enough"

"Thank you Ky'Senn" breathed Sparks

Anon snorted incredulously "You believe that mongrel?!"

"Thalleous Sendaris warned us that The Voltaris would come back and we didn't listen, thus came The Second Great War" reasoned Senn

"And it also brought about The Voltaris' return as a well respected clan"

"All I'm saying is we should be prepared when it comes to our former enemy's, we should send Queen Abbigal to investigate this 'elite guard'"

Sparks crossed her arms satisfied causing her red Ardoni stripes to glow brighter for a few seconds before returning to there normal light range
