Minecraft Songs of War Season 2 Battle for Ardonia (COMPLETED)

Aren Fletcher

Igneous made his way through Fort Kazu to look for a person Galleous had called Aren the Fletcher. it proved uneasy as every person at the Fort had either ignored him or told him to go away when he asked where he could find the person. he noticed a figure in a white coat with a large scythe on his back. when Igneous went to get a closer look, the figure would turn and he'd see a black shadow with boiling red eyes look at him for a split second before he'd run off. Igneous decided to ignore him after finding that the figure was following him where ever he went.

finally, Igneous turned around to find the figure almost right behind him. the red-eyed person jumped back in surprise, arm reaching behind him for his scythe but not drawing it.

"since you seem to be following me around so much, do you know where i can find a person called Aren the Fletcher?" igneous asked, restraining rising frustration.

the figure tilted his head as if he was thinking, then made several noises that a few people looked at him weirdly, like they didn't understand him. Igneous made out a few words, however.

"Central Dock............ doesn't like visitors............ careful...............Fletcher guarded well." the figure said.

"Central Dock? and Aren is well guarded?" Igneous recapped.

the hooded figure nodded and turned back the way he'd come to a man with a black hood. Igneous shivered, this man was working with freaking people, and the black hooded human seemed to radiate energy like a power source. Igneous headed toward Central Dock, looking for Aren when he spotted a suspicious man walking in his direction. Igneous moved to the side to let the man pass, but the man stopped in front of him with a knife in his hand.

"i hear you want to talk to Aren? what business are you on? and don't play any games." the man growled.

"i'm here to speak to Aren because a friend of mine sent me here on a request. Ardonia is on the brink of war with the Voltaris and we have very few numbers." Igneous said, eyeing the knife as it it was a toothpick.

"again? what are the Voltaris up to now?" the man groaned.

"the Voltaris slaughtered whole villages for the Prime Songs that Thalleos Sendaris hid. we were hoping you join Ardonia because the Necromancers are also on the move. they recently attacked Feldin and are on the move to an unknown destination. but i need to speak with Aren to negotiate with him." Igneous answered the annoyed man.

the man put away the knife and beckoned him to follow. Igneous followed him to a secure looking building with a symbol that looked like a bow and arrow with a skull in the background.

"Aren doesn't allow many visitors. thinks they are from K'Arthen. now with this Thalleous figure. how'd he know this was coming?" the man asked.

"we don't know and the Masters didn't listen. now Thalleous is dead and his twin brother Galleous sent me here to talk with Aren." Igneous said.

"my name is Brian. i'm one of the guards for Aren and one of his best Cut-throats out of the army. what's your name, Magnorite?" the man introduced himself.

"Igneous. i am a traveler and that was one of the reasons why i volunteered to come here instead of an Ardonian." Igneous responded.

"come, come. Aren will want to negotiate terms for our service if we are to help you." Brian beckoned and led Igneous to a hiden door in one of the walls.

they went down a staircase, about 20 landings passed before Brian stopped at the 21st landing. he knocked three times and a man slid back a panel in the door.

"Aren is not to have visitors outside of K'Arthen or he will personally fire you." the man drawled from behind the panel.

"um, are you sure he'll accept a Magnorite from Ardonia who needs to negotiate terms with Aren due to a brewing war?" Brian asked.

the man looked at Igneous and back at Brian.

"not sure, i'll ask him." the man responded and the panel slid back. 

they waited 5 minutes before the man came back and slid the panel back.

"what does Ardonia want? if it's something unimportant, you are required to leave, Magnorite." the man drawled bordly at Igneous.

"um, the Voltaris and Necromancers......." Igneous started before being cut off by a man further away behind the door.

"let him in. if it has something to do the the Voltaris and Necromancers, he's allowed in." a man called.

the door opened to reveal a very scarred human with a wooden leg and a broadsword strapped to his back. several other men with broadswords with the same symbol as outside the building em-blazed on their coats stood at certain points of the room. in the center of the room was a man with a scarred eye. he was a surprisingly young human but with many battle scars. he got up from his chair and walked over to the entering Magnorite.

"Well, the Voltaris are stirring trouble in Ardonia? last time i checked, the Ardoni are few. who was this friend of yours who sent you here?" Aren asked.

"Galleous Sendaris, twin of Thalleous Sendaris. we kinda need help from Cydonia and K'Arthen since they have large armies. the Necromancers have been growing since the Great War and the Ardoni can't hold them all off." Igneous responded politely.

"Both Voltaris and Necromancers stirring up war. what of Feldin? i heard they have a great army." Aren stated.

"they got attacked by Necromancers not long ago. who knows who lived." Igneous replied.

"and you want Cydonia and K'Arthen to help? what's the offer?" Aren asked.

"Galleous said if you don't unite with Cydonia,the Necromancers and Voltaris will raze you after they deal with Ardonia." Igneous relaid what Galleous had warned him.

Aren thought of this and nodded.

"i'll arrange a meeting with Cydonia's leader at Sunrise tomorrow." Aren accepted.

Igneous nodded and left the room, with Aren and his guards following. they managed to  get to the main landing and leave the building. but something wasn't right. there were soldiers with bows and arrows running around towards the port, shouting to each other.

"What's going on?" Igneous asked.

"i don't know. i'll get one of these men to tell me." Brian murmured and ran into the craze.

2 minutes later, he came back with his sword drawn.

"there's a fleet heading this way. they appear to be foreigners." Brian panted.
