"Do the depths of you stupidity know no bounds?!" I yell. "Do you know who I am?! I am King Ragen! What I say is the law! If I instruct you to kill yourself, you will do it in front of me for my pleasure with no questions asked!"
"Yes Sire!" A young dwarf gravels. "May your Excellency ...". He stops as he is kicked in the face by the evil king.
"Sir!" A squire bursts in the door. "Our General has been reported dead sire."
"When and where?!?" I screech.
"About a month ago sire. He was last seen in the tavern on Port Sarim, celebrating the victory over Varock and more importantly over Falador. The soldiers were preparing to give chase to the rebels, fleeing upon White Wolf Mountain."
“Why was I not ALREADY told about this squire?!"
"My most humble apologies sir, information has been hard to pass along these days with all the rebel attacks." I begin boiling with anger and ask of any other news.
"Yes sire, Rebels have been spotted on this side of the land near the Seers Village. The sorcerer’s tower has also been completely raided."
"You mean to tell me those scum were this close to my city and no one was notified?!"
"It gets worse sire, they reached the underground pass, one of our spies have reported back to us they are about to embark on a trek to the wilderness. They should already be there. Intelligence *or lack thereof* Ragen mutters "tells us Prince Daniel is at the old kingdom.”
"The one I tore down?"
"One in the same sire, but it gets much worse."
"The only thing that could be worse is the old king rising from the grave and leading the incompetent blind fools" The solemn look from the squire tells it all.
"There’s no way, Danny Vain died many years ago."
"Sire, he is with our spy now, moving in the wilderness. A skilled bow man with duel swords with golden crosses on the blades"
"Leave squire...NOW"

For the first time a chill of fear runs down Ragens back. He looks to his second in command, Leonardo.
"Commander Leon, your general now, prepare every vessel that floats and every man that fights to be ready, a war is coming"
"Yes sire"
