King Emry Exultaine stood in the palace courtyard, overseeing the company
of soldiers that had been rallied in less than an hour. The "Troupes
Divina" was Allarias most elite fighting corps. These soldiers had pledged
their whole life to the art of war and answered directly to the king. Their
name was held in respect by even the most bitter of Allarias enemies. Now they would ride out led by their King. Less than two hours earlier Emry had received a report by pigeon from one of his agents. According to the report Duke Zular was terrified over some kind of peasant uprising. Apparantly a company of over a hundred knights had been ambushed and slaughtered only a few days ago. Now Zular was mobilising his forces. This gave King Emry an excellent opportunity to get rid of Zular. Peasant uprising or no peasant uprising, Zular had not asked his king leave to mobilise his duchies army. Once the locals had been pacified -which should be a walk in the park- the Troupes Divina would ride into Absollom and arrest Zular. Emry was in a particularly good mood as he gave word to his captain to order departure. Bert spurred his horse to increase its speed. He had left Chucky in in his own house in the care of his manservant and was now in a hurry to get to Caemlyn. He knew that he was in over his head, but now things had got personal and he wasn't the one to give up. At least he was lucky that he hadn't been powerful enough to find his target on his own; he shivered at the thought that it might have been him in the place of Chucky's machine. Right now his only link to the creature was the knight, and he had found out in Mudspot that he had been arrested by allarian soldiers. Thus he headed to Allarias capitol and the kings palace. Somehow he would get his back at that little monster. Somewhere in the foothills of the Shrecken Cedrik sat by a campfire. He didn't know how his conniving brother had found out that he was back, but he had no reason to doubt Astra about his pursuers. It was now two days since he last saw Aqualarias princess, when she had left him to scout the enemy. Cedrik feared that she had been captured and now he had no choice but to continue west on his own. He had had some friends in Allarias neighbour kingdoms before he was imprisoned in the southern caves. Hopefully he could get some help there to retake his throne. Now:
