"Father, Father?... Where are you?" I asked loudly enough for anyone in the castle to here.
"Son, I'm in here, in the armory preparing for war," Father answered.
"War? What do you mean war? No one wants to face us... Our magicians haven't lost a war in 1.6 million years" I beamed with pride.
"Yes, I know that, but the humans think it's time we lost one of our battles and, if we win, we will get tons of gold. It's only right to take the risk and fight." he returned.
"As you wish, Father. How many people do we have fighting for us?" I question....
"Including me, we have 9,997," Father replied.
"How about the humans? How many humans are there?"
"They have, well, I estimate 10,000 or more. This is going to be a tough war, but I still have faith," he responds.
"Sir, they're ready for battle," said commander, Karma.
"As are we. Men, we must fight till the end of our power. We shall not lose, we have won over 100,000 wars in a row and this may be the hardest yet. I understand if you would like to back out. So, please, raise your hand if you want to stand by my side and fight for me. There is no shame in backing out. I respect everyone's decision."
Everyone answered the king and rose their hand with power.
Perfect let's go to war men.
