Urgor Palace

[Kinether]

This is a building standing on 3rd stage of Urgor, half-build from stone, half-encraved into mountain on which roots the city stands. The decisions about the city istself are made in a hall right there by lord Kyrlon.

The messenger accompanied by Kyrlons guards comes in front of the big metal gate leading into the palace. One of the guards knocks on the door and speaks: "Karis, open the door! We got here a message for lord Kyrlon!"

Soon the door opens... and the messenger is let in.

"Come in, boy! Make it quick... pass the message and get out of here." remarks the guard behind the door...

"Sir?" he looks around the hall. Cold stone everywhere... not a common thing to build from... still the lord of Urgor should be somewhere in there.

[belial]

* A strange looking man appears and signs the boy to follow him. The boy looks with amazed eyes to the stranger looking front of him. The man is wearing a heavy and scary armour, decorated with golden lions and golden dragons. At his belt hangs a strange looking weapon. A sword but curving lightly. The man stops and opens a door to one of the rooms of the palace. As the boy and the stranger enter, the boy sees an Urgorian dressed man sitting with another armoured stranger besides him. They interupt their conversation and look to the boy.*

" What's the message boy?"

[denise]

*Soon denise arrived at the Palace to, with a small smile she looked to the person, With the golden dragons on his armor it had to be one of the higher officers.. a skimitar! those weapons where not commenly used.. grinning she waited for the person to be done with the boy*

[Kinether]

The messenger stared on the metal armour for a while, then he awaked from his "daydream" suddenly, bowed slightly and strated to talk:

"Sir, Im coming from Nerxis. In fact... were asking you for help as we know your city has strong warriors. About two days ago, we saw strange ships that landed on the Western Shores, and soldiers coming out from it... they are people, but dont resemble to our people much. Our chief is worried about the village and... because they all seem to got strong and good weapons... he thought that when you got almost the same you could help us in case that something happens and... if needed alarm the other villages."

He stopped, breathing heavily. It was certain he is quite much excited about all of that... or rather feared.

[belial]

* Lord Kyrlon chuckles and turns and looks to Belial*

" Seems you scared the people of Nerxis with your presence, my lord."

* Belial smiles and nips his glass of wine. Then Kyrlon turns his attention back to the boy and speaks*

" Tell your chief that they don't have to worry. The strange warriors are allies of the city of Urgor and here to defend us for the potentate Kinether of the Nerai."

* The boy nods, bows and wants to leave but some imperative words of the stranger next to Kyrlong makes him stop and slowly turn around*

" You...only messenger?"

[Kinether]

"Y- no, sir. We were three of us. One went to the south and the second one rode with me till here, then continued to south-east. But I dont remember the names of the towns they were going to...

And, sir... should I tell our chief to disband the army again, then?"

[belial]

* Kyrlon frowns and looks to Belial then back to the boy.*

" hmm? oh yeah, tell your chief to disband the army, but keep alert. Oh, also tell him I would like him to send a detachment of cavalry to keep the curious away from the arrival of our friends, the Krondorians. You can leave now."

* the boy nods and bows quickly before he leaves. One of the guards opens the door for the boy and enters the room himself. Before Belial he salutes and speaks*

" My lord, there are two more visitors who would like to have your attention. One is a Gurai-woman and the other is a representative of the dwarven king. Shall I allow them to enter?"

" Siyo, sila mina wun" [ Yes, bring them in] * Belial says*

* While the guard leaves to get the visitors, Belial turns his head to Kyrlon with questioning face*

" Messsengerrr, sssouth... Flaion?"

* Kyrlon nods*

" Yes, and I don't think we can catch up with the messenger anymore..."

* Belial reacts with only lifting up his shoulders*

" Bah, they probably knoww yet."

* Then the guard enters again with behind him the dwarf and the Gurai-woman.*

[denise]

*Denise had arrived at the Palace it was made of Stone, or most part of it, that wasn't really common for humans, with a small smile on her face, she passed the first guards, and walked towards the room, The military seemed to be everywhere, where they expecting resistance of some sort? when seeing Belial, or so she hoped, she moved her legs together against et other and made a bowing*

"Greeting noble, lords.. I come from the south, The desert of lost souls where our race lives, i heard that you are the new rulers of this City and i congratulate you with it, I am here, not with Military Or diplomatical things, I'm am here, Because i know many language's of this world, the plains once's the once's of my kind, the elven one, the one of the dwarfs and of the Gnome's and i would like to learn yours Along with other things"

*She gave a soft and charming smile, maybe that she was a female would pack out well once*

[belial]

* Lord Kyrlon narrowed his eyes as Denise congratulated Belial with his rulership of the city. Belial leaned back with a soft smile on his lips*

" The lady being misinformed. This, alliance. Lord Kyrlon...ruler of city."

* The smile disappeared now from Belial's face and with ruthless eyes he leaned forward and looked Denise in the eyes*

" Learn Krondorian? An infidel? Why I should allow? Besides....you Gurai. Gurai killed."

[denise]

*She smiled abit and looked towards Belial*

"Misinformed? I know the story well, you would 'offer' your military as support, in exchange for leadership of it.. and also getting 50% of the taxes.."

*She moved some back, and her smile vanished.. now speaking more serious*

"First of all i'm not an Inifidel, Second of all one woman or men cant be held responable for the acts of one race.."

[belial]

* flames appear in Belial's eyes*

" Still, as King of Krondor I am the man alone being held responsible for the acts of my race so.... The Krondorian language is a sacred language been given to my forfathers by Mythar and Rythar themselves. I won't have it being fuzzied by an infidel. And hearing today that my allies lost almost a whole regiment by attacks of the Gurai, ....barbarians."

*spits on the ground, a Krondorian-sign that he has become angry.*

[denise]

*denise smiled towards him, he was a man who liked action instead of words*

"Barbarians, most of us are, i have to say that indeed. We are burtal warrior or the most of us, but not all, Do not shave us under one cam, lord"

*She threw a small 'help me' face towards the Lord Krylon before looking back to Belial's impressive, those eyes she thought*

"But, the actions of my kind, are responable of my leader not of me, i ment no insult of coming here, just wanted to increse my knowlage.."

[belial]

* Lord Kyrlon suddenly breaks the strain of the moment by adressing to Belial.*

" Lord Belial. I suggest you let this matter to me. At the end, the rules of hospitality still count."

* Belial nods in acknowledge*

" Ofcours, Lord Kyrlon. Please accept my apoligises."

* looks to Denise and speaks*

" You know...my father used saying : Love your wife, fight honourable and be faithfull. I am going to hold me to that. See your request to learn my language as rejected....for now. It ain't too late yet to learn the true path of faith."

[denise]

*with a small smile on her face she looked to lord Kyrlon*

"I already know the language of the plain humans, thats what i'm speaking now, But i'm staying around town, wanting to see how a military present influses the peasents.. yes i'm interested in alot of things, you can controle my notes later if you think i made some small schetes and numbers of your troops, you can find me in the central pub"

*She sighed abit, these people didend like to have strangers.. but she ment to harm*

"Is there anything you want to know from me? Before i ask something you dont like?"

[belial]

* Kyrlon shakes his head after Denise's last question and then looked to Belial. Belial narrowed his eyes again and noded*

" Bone to fight?"
