Chapter 28

Kavien studied the map. There was so much space. Eura was vast, and soon, it would all be his. He traced the path he would take his army or millions to conquer the rest of the world. Only the Black Throne of Auroria stood in his way. Their alliance with the Northwest of Eura was annoyingly strong. For years it had seemed impenetrable to his people, but Kavien wasn’t just anyone. He would find a way.

Artero, a general in his army waited patiently. He offered advice when he saw fit and kept quiet when Kavien was in deep thought.

“How are the new recruits doing Artero?”

“Splendidly sir. They are faster learners then I expected. Of course, many are afraid, but we will break them of such a trivial emotion.”

Kavien nodded, still studying the map. “Good. Very good.” He knew it could be done. He wrote notes on a piece of parchment and sighed. “This is going to be a problem.” Kavien pointed to a wide ocean that sat between Kyril and Eura. “How will the Tryans get over here? Sure the fairies can fly, but they can’t exactly carry the Tryans over the Cair Ocean, and no one would dare take ships onto those waters with all of The Barrier beasts.”

Artero glanced at the map over Kavien’s shoulder. “Fairies have air ships. It can be done.”

A servant entered the room and whispered something to the general. Kavien heard footsteps as someone entered the room and closed his eyes in annoyance.

“Emperor.”

“Go away.”

“Kavien,” Dragnor began, clearing his throat. “This is important.”

“That’s Emperor Kavien to you. Do not forget your place, elf.” Dragnor’s voice only made Kavien more irritable. The Shadow Elf’s presence always put him in a foul mood. His hate for him ran deep. “Make it quick.” He didn’t even give him the courtesy of turning to face him.

“You might want to pay attention…Emperor Kavien.”

Kavien stood to his full height, taller than any man in the realm and an imposing figure by anyone’s standards. He was muscular, without an ounce of fat on his body. Grown men were too afraid to look directly into his face.

He turned around and Dragnor entered the room with Sister Eloni. His scowl quickly dissipated and he gave her a nod of respect. Most people would bow to her, but he was emperor, he bowed to no one.

Sister Eloni smiled and dipped slightly in returned respect. She glanced over his shoulder and her smile widened. “Always preparing. So detail oriented. I like that about you.”

“It is my job, Sister.”

She folded her arms before her, much like Dragnor was accustomed to doing. She eyed him for a moment. “Well, I have good news. I also have a request.” The long draping sleeves of her purple robes billowed as she pointed to the door.

Kavien raised an eyebrow. “What is it now? More funding for your ‘temples’? I thought you could turn sand into gold or something.”

Sister Eloni’s face turned serious. “Outside is Princess Lilae of Auroria. The Flame. Well, the former Flame that is.
