As autumn takes control over the once green lands of Tarhia, a dark cloud travels over the plains and finaly stops over the Dread Citadel in the town of Gothar. Siting on his throne with a dim look on his face, Adrian Krue assembles his advisors to start the siege on Romia.
On his hight throne, dressed with a long red embroidered robe, equipped with the sword of
Kaz'Roa, a magical blade that was not only used in melee combat but substituted as a staff as
well. Unlike Edward Gray, Krue came from a family that only knew magic as a form of defense
and offense, physical features being they're weak point. Knowing that Krue always had on his side his most loyal subject captain Thyr. He was a man of great posture and strength. They say that his armor alone can crush a normal person, but he seems not to be upset by it. Two giant axes are strapped to his back, and with the shining armor he seemed as a demon brought back from the Underworld.
Krue stands up from his throne and yells
- Why haven't i conquered Romia yet?!
A wave of silence comes over the room, broken by Thyr's words:
-I guarantee you sire, that our first atack will be the last on Romia. They do not have a chance against my soldiers.
-That may be so Thyr, but you haven't considered the magic that Romia has. I have felt a new magical power... maybe the latent magic from ancient Romia, but rejuvenated. Romians are yet again receiving magical training. What does the first Wizard think of this impediment?
-If i may sire, Romians were once a great order of wizards, but no longer. The magical resources would have been depleeted by now. They're people are no match for our mages.
-Send your best scout to Romia. We need to know exacly what is going on there. My instincts never lie. Be gone, i need to meditate on this.
Krue returns to his chambers more troubled than ever. With a damp look on his face he goes into the meditation room, a magical room scribed with runes. He stepps into the magical circle and bright lights flow through him entering a state of meditation.
At the same time, in Romia, Edward starts to gather his army. Out from the court of his castle, he goes to the Military Quarter to meet up with his captains. Edward, unlike Krue, was a pure heart warrior. His family was one of magic manipulators, but he had no mana in him, instead being blessed with an amazing strenght and a good heart. Equipped with his light armor, and a short sword he goes to see the status of his troops. He goes up Freeman's Hill overseeing the whole town of Romia. There he meets with Cpt. Qas, the leader of the Romian army and overseer of the Warriors Guild.
-Greetings your highness. I am glad to announce you that we have received word from all our legions outside Romia, and they are all returning home. We will have all our people here in 3 days time.
-Good work captain. But im afraid this wont be enough against the vast armies of Tarhia. I shall go to Syris and see about talking with the elves.
-Very good idea sire. I shall assemble the army at once and report to you immediately.
And so Edward heads to the Obelisk of Time to speak with Syris. The Obelisk was never so full of life and joy of learning. Small fireballs were flying left and right, apprentices conjuring all kinds of spells and high in the balcony stood Syris with Astiria.
-Good day to you Syris. I need a moment of your time.
- Certainly sire. What is it you need.
- I need you to go and talk with the leaders of the Elves. We need they're help if we are to survive this upcoming war.
- It so happens that Astiria is half Elf. I'm sure she can arrange a meeting for you and the Elven leaders.
- I would be most grateful to her. Please let me know as soon as possible.
Syris went and explained the situation to Astiria and without delay she sent a flying messenger in form of an owl to the city of Eludia. No one knew exactly where this city was, only the elves knew and even they needed an owl to guide they're path there.
As time passed by, more and more tropps came in Romia, wizards started to learn more complex spells, and an air of hope risen over the town people.
After a long meditation Krue comes into the Chamber of Command where Thyr was overlooking a map of Tarhia.
- Thyr! Go to the Temple of Sorrow and summon my assassins. I yet have a quest for them. My
templar assassins will get to experience war once again.
