Meeting a King

"Raquel said he didn't give the order but he'd look into it." Polaridin told Galan with his ussual even tone. "Thank you," Galan responded, "Now?"

"Serith and I go to see Dante to find out what his plans are and sort out our destiny." He spoke more like it was an academic exercise than the prophecied fate of the world. He inclined his head slightly and Kendal saw him out. Just before leaving Kendal addressed the General, "Did you still want to see Gerald sir?"

Galan replied with surprise, he didn't remember calling for Gerald. "Um..I, hmmn" Galan realized he was uncharacteristiclly out of words. Kendal replied, "Never mind sir I'll leave you then."

Court was a new experience for Dante. Katar, King Katar. He had met Lord Valamos Greyfoot the master of Jonathan's, and now his, affairs in the Grey HaVens. Between his Dragon Sworn, the Grey Havens, and Enron he had over 43,000 troops at his command. Many of his Dragon Sworn were still on the Blood Isles but many of ther leaders including 3 Dragons were with him in court. He could see that the people had suffered from Jonathans rule. Perhaps seeing the prosperity of Geneva had biased his view but the reports he received indicated a level of poverty that Katar was committed to fixing.

"We need to move quickly and solidify a marriage with Rock's widow. Only then will we ensure the proper control of Enron my Liege." Valamos said. He was quick with advice it nearly fell out of his mouth. It was as if he already had it all planned and just needed Katar to play the part. Katar was not going to blindly take orders.

"Serith Silverwing from the Isle requests your an audience my king." A herald declared. Good, maybe I can get some help with all of this. "Let him in quickly."

The herald let in Serith and a well dressed noble looking elf. "I guess the appropriate thing to say is, My King?" Serith said with deep respect.

"Yes, who is this?" Pointing to the elf though Katar's dragon senses could tell he was not just an elf.

"King Dante, We have word from the Isle and would like to speak to you in private."

"EVERYONE OUT." Katar declared, "Everyone leave us." The room emptied, Advisor, general, dragon all left. Does that mean me as well my lord? Katar spun around trying to find the source of the voice in his head. "Whose that?"

A glimmer of light and an elf stood then kneeled before Katar, "I am your Oddyssues my King. Always with you to always protect you." Katar remembered how often attacks on the ROck would seem to just hit air. THis must have been why. "Yes Leave us." He walkd out of the hall.

Serith said, "We need to go somewhere else."

Soon they were all standing in the Palace in Atlanta. Serith continued, "This is Polaridin Tel Al Moridin." Polaridin drew both gloves from his hands revealing long spiraling dragon tatooes identical to Katar's. "So you are the other of prophecy. One of us is the Destroyer and one is the Savior. Do you know which is which?"

Polaridin spoke wiht almost a boredom in his voice, "It was believed that the Dark One who has a piece of him possesing a clone of this body to be the evil one. Lord Raquel and Lord Jericho recently vanquished him in Sigil. So perhaps that was wrong or perhaps we were wrong. Either way their is a new truth to discover." Polaridin talked in an even tone but his gave fell on Katar's left eye in a way that made Katar very nervous.

Serith broke in the silence, a drastic change in topic, "What are your plans for the Greyhavens and Enron? You should appeal to join Geneva and hand the kingdoms over to the Keeper."

Kater nodded, "There is a lot of suffering that needs to be addressed and I don't know how to do it."

"The Isle does, you should appeal to join Geneva."

"Lets find Lord Raquel we have negotiations to make."
