For moons Mianite had been hearing Dianite's Warning that he was preparing for war. He knew this time that a fight was going to happen. For once he thought that fighting was the only solution if he had to keep the realm from harm. He had to prepare for war. Dianite is building an army, he thought as he looked at his old friends realm. He would have to do the same. He thought of a strong fighting force and without noticing he made a stone statue. Of course! Statues! They would be tougher to beet then any other creature in his realm. He focused all his power in making the statue move. After several hours he was able to make the right arm move. For 3 days he made that same statue move until, he had a warrior that could fight through anything. He made another. And another. And before he knew it he had 25 statues that were ready to fight. For days and nights he made them fight each over so he could get used to controlling more than one at a time, until, something amazing happened. They were moving without his help. "Paladins" he shouted. All of them turned instantly to him. "You have done great, you may rest. We train again in 2 days, we must be ready." And at that the stone warriors fell asleep and froze. Mianite was pleased with his work and thought that even Dianite had to agree that his army was going to be a challenge. He would not let Ianite know. She must not get involved. She hates like fighting even more than he does.
