Arthur Leywin

I never thought I would make that many enemies on my first day at school.
I couldn't greet the Glayders properly as Tessia called me out.
After everything was settled I had a bigger job to handle standing in front of the Elven fortress. It's been a while since I came here last, though I had changed a few letters with Gramps I'm sure he is waiting for me inside as I entered two guards approached.

"How can you forget about your childhood mentor" Gramps said with a smile.
"Haha, I thought I'd grown enough tall but after seeing you naah" I smirked as we embrace.
"Good to see you after a long time, Arthur" King Alduin along with his wife welcomed me as we talked for a while about my family, Tessia and Xyrus.
I looked at gramps, he understand as we took our leave from the King and Queen.

"So what do you think about those intruders?" Virion asked.
"Those are not intruders they are from our continent you know" I replied.
Virion waited to hear further from me as I continued.
"It was just a beginning,pre-planned, it was an attempt to shake the council apart"
"What do you mean to shake the council?" Virion asked looking at me.
"You all are thinking about the newly discovered continent in the meantime someone approaching to put the Elven kingdom down!" As I finished Virion was bursting inside I can feel it but he knows I won't babble about something like this.
"You know how I defend my Kingdom against Sapin right! Who the hell dares to strike us!"
"That's exactly my point, Gramps, you defend it although having much less manpower than Sapin! War is not about just power and who else knows this better than you!" I replied.
"Who?" Virion asked composing himself.
"A portion of Darves"
Both of us looked at the door as Aldir entered the chamber.
I know Virion knows about Asuras, he may have seen them quite a few times.
"Lord Aldir!" Virion said he was shocked to see Aldir.
"What Arthur has said it's true Elder Virion" Aldir replied.
"I understand but who can do this what's the gain from this internal conflict, I mean Darves can't beat us even with their full power! And if they manage to do so neither our people nor the council.. Virion stopped "are they..
"You guessed it right, as I mentioned it's just a portion so you can't blame the council I mean the other Kings but the others can backfire you!" I replied.
"They won't backfire you right away but the new continent can make that happen" Aldir added.
"If they do so the whole Dicathen will be in danger" I said.
"Virion you know we can't get involved in the internal conflicts but I can assure you if someone tries to take help from the other continent, I'll be the one to put him down" Aldir said with his usual expression.
"Actually I'm just worried about the Glayders, this whole thing will depend on their movements" I added.
"You're right Arthur but I'm not just worried about my people..
"I know soon things will turn into chaos" I finished.
"Informing this straight to King Alduin will make things worse and surely they won't attack from the frontline so I'm hoping you'll make your moves ready, Virion" Aldir said.
"I will, Lord Aldir, and Thanks Arthur"
" I don't want my childhood mentor to die that early" I smirked.
"Well, I'll take my leave I've some duty to accomplish and you've my support" I added heading towards the door.
"I'll see you soon, brat"

As I left the chamber I was walking in the hallway, few people were approaching me..none other than The Lances.
I kept myself steady, there were four of them, all of them looking at me maybe they thought I'll make a way for them but I just passed through them as the Thunder Lance looked into my eyes.
