Present Day
"Sire?" Baldwin said tapping on the door.
"Yes?" Kian replied kindly.
Baldwin was the newest servant of the Chamberlayns in the Payne bloodline.
"There is someone here to see you," he shuttered.
"Who," Kian said concerned.
"Umm," he stuttered.
"Baldwin, spit it out!" He said in a firmer tone.
"Reoites sire."
Kian's face froze with fear, worry and total shock. "What do they want?" The Reoites weren't the type to just show up unannounced. They don't ever even leave their kingdom.
"I don't know. They have demanded to see you."
The Reoite empire was far in the other side of the mountain that bordered Eleriven. The word reoite itself means frozen in Irish. They were a cold people both figuratively and literally. They lived in a frozen tundra where it always snowed and the hottest day of the year was thirty four degrees Fahrenheit (One degree Celsius) and they could barely handle that. Only their most powerful warriors and royalty could withstand going outside of their kingdom. They were very similar looking to humans except they had icee pale skin and silver or white hair that shone in the sunlight.
Eleriven was not allied with the Reoites but they were not enemies either.
The Reoites walk into the throne room escorted by three guards. There were 5 Reoites in total lead by a female who seemed to be if royal descent. Three men and a women followed in tow. They were all wearing armor with the crest of the Reoites on it.
Kian's jaw dropped with how beautiful there species was. He had seen painting of them but he never thought that they could be so beautiful in real life.
They looked as if they had been carved from ice. Every hair on their heads sat perfectly in its place, the men had chiseled jaws and the women had perfectly shaped feminine faces.
One of them in particular caught his eye. The leader. He did not know her name or what she was doing there but damn was she beautiful.He straitened up in his chair as she announced herself.
"I am Amica, newly crowned queen of the Reoites and these are my greatest warriors."
"And what business do you have here?" He said trying to sound official.
She marched toward his throw. He saw his life flash before his eyes. He was sure she was going to kill him but instead he dropped a silver helmet at his feet with a loud clang.
"This belonged to my father!" She said with anger in her voice. She pointed down at the helmet and made terrifying eye contact with Kian. "He was recently killed in an attack and we think that you had something to do with it."
She kicked the helmet so it rolled over and revealed a char marking in it's other side. Kian gave it a puzzled look and stepped down from his throne. He kneeled. Touching the helmet.
He looked up at Amica.
"The Tannin." He said with a shaky voice.
"What," she asked? "Last I checked the Tannin hadn't been seen it 500 years. And the Tannin have never attacked the people of Reoite."
"My father used to tell stories of them and how they used to be great allies of Eleriven." He stood and handed the helmet back to Amica. "Then 500 years our treaty with them was abruptly terminated."
"What does that have to do with us?" She said.
"Let's find out."Authors Note: Thank you guys for reading my brand new story. I wanna thank SolangeloPercabeth18 for helping me come up with names for some of my characters make sure to follow her she has a pretty great story up. Thanks for reading. Love you guys ❤️❤️❤️❤️
