A kingdom split into two halves was at war. A war of good and evil, silver and gold... and blood for blood. The evil queen and a righteous king fought against each other for the greater of the country. Only to be brought down by their own blindness.

       Liliana, was evil a hard exterior with a soft inside that she would never show the world. Only one person would break her walls and that person hadn't been around lately . Running errands, and collecting information from the enemy. Without that person Lillian has managed to only dive deeper into the war she started , marking no return. Her enemies had found ways to circle in on her.

        Ranbir Stockhart, a tall man with a kind heart. All he wanted for his people was the best , healthy and wealthy people. Though most of his province was just that, there was still parts he could not help . Whether it be because of the war, or because he didn't know how to help , he was lacking and it tore him up.  His emotions ripped threw him like a quill into fresh ink. He had so much to do and he knew that one wrong move could destroy his people and his family.

       " sir, you can't possibly believe the watch tower is better then the fort. If we take the fort we can get more men to the area and it's much bigger. If we take the tower all we have is bird-" Omari interjected on Ranbir's thoughts, only to be interrupted.

       " Omari, we could take them both and cover more land but..." Ranbir trailed off into his thoughts ounce again.

      " You're thinking about them again aren't you?" Omari placed his hand on his friend and leaders shoulder as he spoke. He referred to the weeks earlier events of 76 men dying in an ambush.

       " most of those men had families, Omari, what if I send out these troops and the same thing happens. I can't have that!" Ranbir started but was interrupted by his short Eldrida friend.

      " then we'll go to fort Craymoree. It's close but not as close. Plus, there's not that many of her men surrounding it . We won't get us much ground but it's safer" Omari sighed and moved the golden dragon on the map of Marjaan to a different spot as he spoke.

       " that's very smart , you're very smart Omari " Ranbir looked up from the man to his short purple friend.

       " I'm an Eldrida sir, of course I am " Omari went on with his statement very confidently causing Ranbir to stifle a laugh. Omari was an Eldrida elf , a rare race that featured light purple tinted skin and white sometimes silver hair. Eldrida were well known for there intelligence and way with nature. Though Eldrida elves were usually short Omari had been unlucky on the height scale , only being 4'11 wasn't the best when your best friend and king was 6'4.

      "Confidence is key Omari... you how ever have an ego as big as me" Ranbir smile and picked up his quill to copy down the new commands. " take this to the training room . Legate Aelia should be down there. Make sure she gets this" he handed him the roll of paper. " oh and this!" Before he let Omari leave he grabbed a single rose from a near by case and handed it to him.

       " still sweet on the Romans I see" Omari laughed and took the Rose.

       " she's Athenian!" And with that Omari left to take the commands and the roses to the Legate.
