Somewhere, in this unimaginable boring world where doors only lead to other rooms, Where beasts like dragons, orcs and goblins all alike do not exists. Where our imaginations are limited to what we see, lies a doorway to another world.

A place where all the creatures we can imagine and doors that can take us to places we could only dream. Technology that hasn't even been invented yet like flying cars and robots.

There are 3 kingdoms, all three different in all ways but similar in some. The Kingdom of Tyana where creatures and magic exist in peace. The kingdom of Tyana is inhabited by elves, orcs, Dragons and all other creatures of fantasy known, and not known to man. The Tree of life exists in the very center of the kingdom spreading it's roots throughout. At night, when the resting sea was most dark except for the kingdoms, The tree of life would give out a a beautiful glowing white light that kept the whole kingdom lit along with the fireflies.

The Kingdom of Talyn, It's beauty lay in the wonderful sights of the skyscrapers and building that looked alive with neon lights. The sky would be filled with flying cars and the people that lived below, robots, cyborgs and aliens all living together as if one. In the center of the Kingdom was the main skyscraper of Talyn and when at the top you could see the neighboring kingdoms. The Kingdom of Talyn would light up the night with beautiful lights when the darkness of the night fell upon the kingdoms

The kingdom of Fulvia, A kingdom living off the fruits of it's labor. A kingdom where hard work and physical strength was desired by fellow inhabitants. Fulivia was named after the king's daughter, after she had passed the king had not been himself but he vowed to keep the people safe no matter how apposing the force of the opposition may be. Fulvia is able to use basic magic and technology in everyday life but the biggest thing that Fulvia is strong for is Beast taming. There may be magical creatures in Tyana but in Fulvia taming those creatures is second nature for everybody since birth. When Darkness creeps over the kingdom, it is pierced by the fires of the towns and the laughter of it's children

The fourth kingdom, the forgotten kingdom of the god. Is as it sounds. Unlike it's sisters, the forgotten kingdom of the gods is... Forgotten. Where gods ruled over their kingdom and were worshiped by all. Once the kingdom was sat upon clouds that came down the the surface of the ocean. The gods lived mighty lives with sacrificed animals and idols built for them. Now, the kingdom rests in darkness, the gods, dead. What was once a mighty kingdom was now a waist land. None traveled to that kingdom, if hey did... they never returned to tell the tale

"Adriana, you must warm them. You're our messenger, we cannot save them from the upcoming disaster so in you, we trust our strength" The voice said in her dream, Beads of sweat rolled down Adriana's forehead as she tossed and turned in her bed. "But... bu" she said half conscious until she finally shot up out of bed. her heart kept racing as she looked around before she finally was able to calm down...

"Trust our... Strength?" she murmured to herself as she got up and made her way to the water fountain, Getting a drink and washing her face then grabbing the closest towel. The kingdom of Talyn was always busy, cars flying past windows and crowds down below but inside rooms it was peace and quiet.

Adriana put on her clothes, a leather jacket, leather leggings, a white shirt and black high heels. She made her way to the docks, dodging and weaving the crowds before she got to the main sky scraper where Alden Leath, the overseer of Talyn resided. at the top is where she'd find him but security was tight, even when there was no true danger.


Adriana, talk to him. Talk to the other leaders. you must warn them... close your eyes... The same voice in her dream "Close... my eyes?..." she did what was asked, her eyes slowly fluttered shut and when she opened them seconds later, she found herself stood outside the door to Alden's room "Your strength...?" she murmered under her breath. Slowly raising her hand to the door she took a deep breath before pushing it open. Alden Stood by the window looking down at the people below
"Who let you up here!?" Alden asked, his voice was commanding and he gripped the hilt of his katana tight
"I snuck in" She replied, her voice sweet and quiet but she nervously bit her bottom lip.
"Impossible! this place is locked down. We would've seen you get in here" Alden turned to face her, his body was half human... the rest was robot...
"I'm sorry but, i'm only the messenger of a warning" She replied backing up a little, slightly afraid of him "The sea is growing restless, it will destroy the kingdoms if something is not done quickly. Please meet me at the Kingdom of Tyana By the tree of life. There i will tell you everything" with that she was gone, a blink of an eye is all she needed before she disappeared.

The same warning and location was given to Archimedeus, the leader of the military kingdom Fulvia and Dimitri Nightbane the leader of Tyana the magic kingdom.

It is said when all 3 leaders are put together, war doesn't begin to describe the outcome.

(OOC: since Celtic is AFK for a while, i'm going to use Adriana in her place for temp and that means it's Lorvilran's turn)";

Dimitri frowns "You've yet to prove that our magic won't be enough, for years we've lived along-side the dangerous beings like the Dragons, living peacefully with them. It's the other two nations we've had to contend with before. You bring them to the heart of our land and the very thing that gives the land life." He'd look out and call for a gaurd "Prepare the elves and the orcs..." He didn't like the other leaders coming there "Make sure that they know we are not to initiate any violence but if it comes to it, we'll defend our homes." His kingdom wasn't aggressive but they didn't trust the other two, one believing in military might over magic and the other technology over magic.

His gaurd nodded and Dimitri began writting something "They'll not catch us unprepared." The tree of life was surrounded by fields that would be used to farm crops, then a city was found ringing around the farmland, his people had mostly built within forests that grew in that middle ring, obviously having been done by powerful magics. The outer ring was a set of winding paths that led through mountains inhabited by dwarves, goblins, and orcs, the middle ring inhabited by elves. The middle ring was a maze of trees that unless you had a guide, or access to the same magic that made them, you'd be lost, so each group of paths had a guide, usually a small elemental. The cities in the mountains were built into the rock, mined out by the powerful creatures there or the geomancers they had among them. The common tongue was employed as a tongue to interact with visitors to the land but generally elvish or dwarven was heard, the one place you'd find beautiful dwarven architecture, statues of dwarven lords and respected visitors from the other races, large pillars with intricate designs on them, and arched doorways. Other places you'd see crude paths that only the orcs and goblins of the area could have been capable of making, their tools, less sophisticated than those of the elves or dwarves but still able to get the job done.

Buildings in the middle ring would be both up in the trees and down on the ground but all had a rather elegant look to them, some parts looking like they might break if touched. This was the elven ring, their land of hidden happiness, where geomancy and necromancy tend to be used alongside pyromancy in the outer-ring, Nature based spells along side water and air prevailed here. The center ring was one that was inhabited by a few races and any sort of magic was practiced, though light magics were most prevalent. Between the middle and center rings a small grouping of buildings was found, home to the king and his men. This had elvish and dwarven works in the buildings, both very aesthetically pleasing.

The king stepping out, it was about mid-day when he walked out to go to the tree for his daily bout of prayer.

"Have you considered that it could be a ruse, sir?" the Admiral asked upon hearing the tale for the second time today, this time directly from Achimedeus himself.
"Of course I have." Achimedeus stood on the balcony overlooking the citadel, strong hands gripping the rail. "Nevertheless, I will send a message to the king of Tyana to ask if it was he who sent the girl. Who is he?"
"Dimitri Nightbane, sir."
"What a ridiculous name. I will have to write him a letter, it seems, since the magicians are still living in the Stone Age." He frowned, deep in thought, as his gaze swept over the naval base below, whose harbour was barely visible at this distance despite its size. "The sea is growing restless and will destroy the kingdoms, the girl said. Admiral, what do today's reports say about the nature of the waters surrounding the Citadel?"
"They report nothing out of the ordinary, sir."
"No freak waves? No tsunamis or Atlantean warriors rising from the depths like in the legends?" He smiled bitterly to himself. This was about as mirthful as his humour got. 
"No, sir."
"Just as well. We have enough hocus-pocus to deal with at the moment. Dismissed."
"Achimedeus..."
The man turned from the balcony to look at his friend, his expression relaxing into a smile as he saw the look of worry on his friend's face. "Speak freely, friend. What's bothering you? Does the prospect of venturing into Kingdom Cavepeople frighten you?"
"It would be best not to inderestimate their magic. We also use magic, though only to heal, and theirs is more powerful. And Talyn is much more technologically advanced than we... Surely they will have been notified of the sea growing restless as well, and at this very moment may be preparing to travel to the Tree of Life-"
Achimedeus was convinced, egged on as he was by his friend's careful choice of words. "And we too are making preparations. Or we would be, had we not caught ourselves up in idle talk. Come, Admiral, we must reach Tyana as quickly as possible to settle the matter."
The meeting lasted under an hour. During a good portion of it, Achimedeus spoke incessantly about the importance of forming good ties with Tyana and Talyn, but the Admiral knew that it was his pride that led him to take charge of the fleet sailing to Tyana. Achimedeus simply could not allow Talyn to be the first to rush to Tyana, but nor would he 
bow to her every behest. 
The letter was sent in advance, transported by crow, and the fleet soon followed it to the shores of Tyana.

Alden stood by the window looking at the bustling city. What life it had. The colours that sped bywith the cars. Between the buildings when cars constantly flew past it looked like a steady stream of red and green lights.

"I want 24/7 watch on the Sea, anything out of the ordinary is to be reported to me" Alden demanded of the suit that stood in his apartment
"Sir, so far there hasn't been any-"
"THAT WASN'T A SUGGESTION, IT WAS AN ORDER!" Alden cut him off before he finished, the suit bowed before quickly finding his way out. Alden watched him leave then turned to face the window again "If something is to happen... My kingdom is not to be harmed" he whispered. Alden turned to face his counter-top where his Katana rested and picked it up gently, after a few seconds a quiet 'Tsssss' like pressure being released from a machine was heard from him.

Alden held his katana tight and pushed open his room door, outside there were men and women lined up in suits, some were even robots. "Get the craft ready, we set a destination for Tyana"
"Sir!" they all replied as they quickly made their way out the corridor. Alden made a few hand gesture in front of him making a screen appear "Calling Krisitin" a feminine voice said.
"Sir, as you requested i have set up necessary upgrades that i have been working on for your trip... Can i ask why you need all the fire power?" A blonde woman was on the screen talking to him "I don't trust any of them, especially that snake Dimitri. He never saw eye-to-eye with me and if this whole thing goes south then i won't be short..." the whole time speaking, Alden was making his way to the docks where a giant hover craft waited for him.

It was decked out with weapons, cannons, flame throwers and turrets. Alden made his way to the deck where his crew was stood tall waiting for him "I want the ship to circle the kingdom of Tyana, i want all guns ready. If anything goes sour I will call in for support. Do NOT get too close to that kingdom under any circumstances"

His orders were strict, nobody questioned them except Kristin which is why she was his go-to girl. He stood at the head of the craft looking towards the kingdom of Tyana "What did she mean by messanger?" he muttered under his breath... all his question would soon, hopefully, be answered

Adriana watched from the outer ring of tree of life, she saw the ship that Achimedeus rode and the craft that Alden was in from a high up mountain. A soft gust wind blew her hair to the side and the sweet scent of flowers filled her nose.

"Our sweet Adriana, be weary. The three cause much chaos when in the same place. You must do all that you can to keep them at bay. Nothing is more important than telling them the dangers of what is to come" A woman, stood by Adriana dressed in a beautiful white silk robe and flowers in her hair. Her fair skin tone made her look divine. "We will not leave your side but all we can do is guide you and lend you part of our strength"

Adriana did not spare a glance at the woman however, she acted as though she had seen her before "why here? why the tree of life?" Adriana asked, her eyes fixed on the direction of the upcoming battle that she feared. "When time comes, They will ask you for proof. underneath the tree of life you must take their hands..." the spirit vanished from Adriana's side but that didn't make her flinch. She couldn't shake the feeling that, something was lurking...

It seemed that Achimedeus was the first to arrive at Tyana.

Dimitri began walking back to his home, meeting a young woman who looked a lot like him there "Sarafina, is something wrong?" She'd shake her head "I think you need this my dear brother." He'd nod "Go get some Elven wine and have a couple cryomancers available to keep things cool if wished. We must be hospitable, even if we don't trust them." The light around a quill, some ink, and some paper solidified and brought them over to the king "Fulvia wishes to know of the young woman..." He'd quickly write "I don't know how they'd get the idea I would need a young woman to send messages, light is just as useful, and more reliable than humans."

He'd quickly finish his letter and send it off, a small bird made of light appearing "Come now my creation, take this out until you find the Fulvians, it must only be read by their king. If anyone else tries, you fly away and try to get it to their king." He'd head out onto a balcony.

At the foot of the mountains a dwarf would be waiting for the Fulvian king, not long after the bird would fly down towards him, letter held out in it's feet for him. The dwarf walked upto him "Mi'lord, I'm to escort you so you do not enrage the orcs. They're a nasty lot and practice necromancy beside their goblin brethren." The dwarf carried a shield and sword, a few more people waiting for him "When we get through, you'll have to trust either the elves or the elementals, I've not looked. The elementals will not wait for you if you wander off the path they lead you through." The dwarves were on their best behavior, though a couple orcs could be seen looking for a reason to fight, they behaved though and kept from causing trouble. A bit of elvish was heard along the path as they went through dwarven halls, various trades taking place on the way. The dwarves all warmly greeted them and offered to sell them different pelts and fine gems, each just trying to make what they needed. Once out of the mountains they'd find themselves at the edge of the forest.

Sarafina, an elven woman and sister to the king of Tyana, smiled as she met them "Greetings! I am Sarafina Nightbane, I am pleased to see you had no runins with the orcs. I will be guiding you along the path to make sure you get to my Brother safely. Remember, do not stray from me." She was the younger sibling "I assume it was you who sent the letter to my brother, he is quite willing to let the past be for now, though you will have to remember that we do what we know and must to survive." She knew that there were to be more people coming but she was under the impression that her brother wanted them there soon as possible so she lead the man through the elf made maze "You enjoy your trip so far? The dwarves are quite good at their work, most of their sculptures and pillars are hand-made, a few are magic crafted but most are their skill work. The mountains are the handiwork of geomancers. These woods the product of the elven nature magics."

Enrage the orcs? If this kingdom didn’t have the discipline necessary to keep its denizens under control, how could they hope to be able to organize themselves in the face of calamity? Achimedeus scoffed but nodded to the escort, a dwarf, who apparently lacked the courtesy to bow in his presence. He folded away the letter that the glowing, pulsing bird of light (an ostentatious display of their magical prowess intended to intimidate, no doubt) had delivered and addressed the dwarf in his typical curt manner. “Lead on, then.”

“The elementals will not wait for you if you wander off the path they lead you through." Why did the dwarf think they would stray off the path? There was absolutely nothing that Achimedeus wanted to explore further in this kingdom of undisciplined orcs and rowdy goblins and snobbish, self-important elves and whatever else lived there. And Fulvia was not the flagrant, impertinent kingdom that most seemed to believe it to be- these were rumours, no doubt; spread and encouraged by Nightbane. Achimedeus kept his eyes fixed forward until they reached the forest.

“She looks very much like Dimitri Nightbane,” the Admiral said as Sarafina introduced herself. Achimedeus ignored him, and stepped away from the only two men he had brought onto land- the Admiral and an armed guard- to properly greet the king’s sister with a stiff bow, and kissed her delicate hand.

“My lady,” he said, keeping his own private thoughts on the dwarven architecture and geology he had ignored to himself, “we value peace as much as you do. Rest assured that you will get no trouble from Fulvia. I cannot, however, vouch for Talyn and its people.” He allowed himself to be led through the maze, signaling the Admiral and the guard to follow. “You received a message about the sea growing restless delivered by a young girl, did you not? Have you any idea who she is?” Hopefully this kingdom, which prided itself on knowledge of magic and wisdom, would know a thing or two about who had sent her. “We must be prepared for any outcome to her warning. I suspect it to be a ruse. Have you been in contact with Talyn?”

As they approached near Tyana, Alden recorded a video message on a tiny military drone copter "WE will dock in 20 mins. I was told to meet you so that is what I'm here for, but if you make a single move that i don't like then it'll not end well" Alden pressed a red button on the tiny drone, it was the size of a fist but had 4 tiny propellers to help it travel the required distance in a short amount of time. The Drone flew out of his hand towards Tyana and was to reach Dimitri only.

Alden watched it fly off quick, nearly half way to the kingdom. In the distance, it took some zooming in but Alden was able to spot the messenger that had told him to come. Part of him wished she was wrong about whatever she was babbling. Alden turned to his men "You, you're coming with me and Kristin" he said pointing at one of his men. The Trooper stood up straight "SIR!" he replied not sparing a glance at him.

"Alden, i have a feeling that whatever this meeting may be about is important. Plus this'll give you the chance to get to know the other two better. We would be so much stronger working together" A tall woman dressed in a white lab coat stepped out from the sliding that led to the hull of the craft "It seems that way Kristin, But i don't need to trust them. Talyn is fine on it's own, we don't need the help of the others" he replied turning his back to her and placing a firm grip on the railing in the head of the craft. She made her way towards him, her blonde hair done up in a bun and her glasses were lowered a little as she approached him
"I'll assess everything that happens but lets keep the conflict to a minimum" She placed a soft hand on his shoulder and watched as the Kingdom got closer "The tree of life, such a beautiful sight. Takes your breath away doesn't it?" she said softly, mesmerized by the tree.

The craft stopped two thirds of the distance, The cargo doors of the hovercraft slowly opened up before 3 jet skis flew out and each landed with a splash. Alden Kristen and A trooper rode for the kingdom and arrived minutes later at the dwarven dock. He stepped out onto the dock holding his katana tight, Kristen followed after him and so did the trooper but out of the three Kristen was the most pleased to be at Tyana.

Adriana made her way down the mountain she was stood on, she felt uneasier as they all got together... Something was lurking but the feeling kept creeping away before she could put a finger on it.

She made her way to the palace, pushing open the beautiful gates. Before being led into the meeting room, there she sat waiting for them all. It was peaceful, she could hear her heart pounding as she knew what was to come. The three would be at each others throats and what could she do to stop them ?

Sara blinked "You don't need to do that... I'm just a woman, we are all equals in this land. My brother may be king but he does what he has to to be sure his people are safe, and he gets to know their needs. Brother has belief that it will come to pass. He is quite perceptive of even minor changes in the middle ocean. He sent you a letter, just as you use crows, we use our magic to deliver mail when we don't know where along a path someone was and he knew that you and King Alden wouldn't sit idle, you're the only one who's sent him a letter so you're the only on who got one. If you don't believe him then believe me, the young woman is not of our people. We would never invade another country with no provocation. She gave the same warning to my brother I believe, at least he was careful to scry the sea carefully today." She smiled as they got to the kings home, it was a rather beautiful place, in the distance the great tree known as the tree of life could be seen "This large city surrounds the tree of life." She'd lead Archimedeus through the palace where Dimitri was waiting "Brother, King Archimedeus is here!" They'd been careful to gather what information they could in the months prior as they found information to be a powerful defense. She'd then run off with a laugh and run through to try to catch King Alden before another could lead him.

Back at the docks a dwarf smiles as he greets them "The Fulvians are already in the forest at the very least, I am to lead you through the mountains. When you reach the forest, either wait for an elf to guide you or follow an elemental through. King Nightbane will be waiting, Lady Sarafina will take you to the meeting room once you reach the palace. Remember that while in these lands you are to be at peace with other guests and the residents of the land." He'd begin walking off through the mountain, leading them through to the forest. On the Edge Sara stood with a happy smile on her face "Hi! I'm Sarafina Nightbane, I'll guide you through the forest, remember to stay by me!" She hadn't had so many people going to the palace in so long that she was quite excited "The king of Fulvia is already at the palace where you'll meet my brother!" She giggled happily much more friendly than the dwarf had been.

Back at the palace Dimitri smiled "I hope that you got the letter, I quite like my little creation. Having a phoenix captive is illegal here so my creation is my pet. Have a seat, we'll be waiting for King Alden to arrive." He then bows to Adriana "Ahh the guest of honor who will be explaining it all soon enough." He'd blink at the device flying in and playing the message "He really thinks I'd be the one to cause a war? I'm not keen on war, I'd much rather enjoy the friendship of my people." The king was quite peaceful in action, though he didn't trust the others he'd treat them well while they were guests in his land, depending on their actions.

"I sent a letter to avoid barging into your land unbidden and unwelcome. And never did I say that I did not trust you or your brother.” He had no reason to mistrust them, especially since elves who often prided themselves in their purity and and truth. 

They had reached the inner ring of the kingdom. At its heart was the tree of life, as Sarafina had said, and the beautiful palace which was the icon of magic-wielders. Achimedeus and his two men bowed to King Dimitri when he appeared, despite what Sarafina had said earlier about all being equals. He was much younger than what Achimedeus had expected, which was an ancient, grizzled man with a long beard and a ponderous voice who was impossible to feign interest in. But Dimitri was young and had scars on his face to prove that he was not above physical fighting if it came to it, and Achimedeus liked that in a man. 

"We got the letter, Your Majesty. Thank you for responding." The guest of honour was the girl who had appeared to him, dream-like, and warned him of the sea's restlessness. Had she told this king the same thing she had told him? While Achimedeus had told Sarafina that he trusted her and her brother, doubt contaminated his mind. 

The letter preceded the Talyn king, as Achimedeus' had preceded him. King Alden's message was less of a letter, however, but the exaggeratedly hi-tech device that bore the message seemed all to unnecessary to Achimedeus. Why spend time and funds to create such a contraption when a simple letter would suffice? He whispered his thoughts to his Admiral as they waited for the arrival of the third king, but his friend simply nodded and stared ahead absently, no doubt admiring how well-furnished and decorated this room was, especially when compared to the functional simplicity of the Citadel back in Fulvia. 

Alden nodded at the dwarf, Kristen on the other hand was watching how the dwarfs behaved and acted to normal humans. Though, maybe normal wasn't the word to use in this kingdom as How humans behaved may not be normal for them.

Alden remained calm but cautious "i want you to stay weary" he said to the trooper that was with them. "we are only here for the meeting, peace is what we want too" he said to the dwarf, loosening his grip on his katana... somewhat. Even though the elven residence of the kingdom weren't human, Sarafina seemed to catch his eye "My name is Alden" he bowed to her "this is my Right hand, Kristen" Kristen had a big smile on her face.
"Lady Sarafina! Hi! I have always wanted to meet you in person" Kristen said enthusiastically. Her eyes Lighting up as she got closer to the tree "I can't wait to see the tree!"

"The king of Fulvia is here already?" somehow it wasn't surprising, Achimedeus has respectable love for his kingdom as does Dimitri but their ways of life and beliefs didn't agree with Alden, he believes that technology is what will help the generations to come. It expands the minds of all the species that lived on Talyn.

Even though this kingdom wasn't Alden's scenery, he had to admit it had a certain charm. The forest felt alive somewhat. Alden followed Sarafina to the palace "Was the woman, the messenger. Sent by the king?" he asked Sarafina.

Adriana watched as Archimedeus entered with his men, a soft smile to welcome them. She seemed more open and relaxed than when they first met her since, the three are here, they heeded her warning. "hello, your highnesses" she said standing up and bowing to them "I'm sorry for being so blunt before, i was trying to take in the fact that i am a messenger... and i am to do a job only i can be trusted with"

She smiled and shook her head "No, i cannot say more without king Alden being present. It is important that all of you're here" she said with a smile then sat back in her chair quietly biting her lower lip as she did. She had gotten carried away. When Adriana gets carried away she tends to speak more than she needed to.

She ran her finger tips along the beautiful table she was sat at, she had forgotten to tell them her name from her small state of panick.

Sara smiles "I'm just an elf. We die in our time." She giggled a bit "Mister Alden! I think you need to look for yourself, we don't use messengers that can be easily killed, all our messengers are magical creations. My brother prefers Light birds." Her hand reached out and water from a nearby stream formed into a bird on her hand, twigs making the feet "See!" She smiled and pet the water bird, leading them directly to the palace "I know you're not trusting of us, but why would we have you meet here? Where our people and homes could be harmed." She'd quickly lead them into the meeting hall "Brother! I made a new friend!" She said pointing to the water bird "And Mister Alden is here!" She quickly ran over to sit by her brother. Sara blinks "You must be the woman who called them! You caused a lot of distrust!"

Dimitri frowns "Sister, I always have to remind you to keep calm." He'd then shift to a smile "Welcome, we will be heading to the tree of life soon." He looked to Sara "Sister, you wish to come with us? I know you enjoy the look of the tree as it gets dark, so if you wish you can come with us." He hugged his little sister gently "Now remember, you harm the tree and I will destroy you with the light around you." He'd say to the other kings, his sister slapping him gently and looking to him "BROTHER! They've not been threatening, be nice!"

The girl who had delivered the message was wholly ordinary, bearing no distinguishing items or clothing. In fact, she would seem very out of place in any of the three kingdoms. Especially in his own. He decided it wasn't the time to ask, especially since Sarafina's excited voice could be heard approaching the room. She entered and King Alden followed, a young woman and a trooper at heel. He seemed to trust King Dimitri as much as Achimedeus did- which was not very much.

Achimedeus' men rose and bowed in greeting when King Alden entered the meeting hall; Achimedeus himself merely acknowledged the other king's presence by nodding his head. Now that all the kings were assembled, they could begin to discuss the issue at hand, and hopefully as soon as possible. "Remind me to have a word with him," he murmured to the Admiral. "I am curious as to what he makes of all this." He looked King Alden over, sizing him up as King Dimitri made his threats and warnings. Achimedeus had no intention of harming their precious tree, but he was anxious to get moving.

The trooper and Kristen bowed at the others also but Alden held out his hand to shake Achimedeus' "I much rather enjoy the traditional hand shake" he said as they shook. Alden looked at Dimitri as he threatened them "You may be strong around the tree of life but who's to say i came unprepared?" Alden's counter threat "You already know that no matter how strong the opposing force, me and my kingdom never back down"

Kristen placed a soft hand on his shoulder "Calm down, whilst on their soil it is not wise to threaten him." she whispered into his ear "Hello, Your highness, King Alden is here as requested and we assure you that if everything is smooth as i hoped then there will be no need for fighting" She gave them all a reassuring smile "We're all here because this young lady said that the Kingdoms are in danger, what is the point of being here if you three are going to end up destroying each other's kingdoms? Please" she said pointing at the table in a subtle manner "Let's all sit and discuss the problem"

Alden looked between the two kings and nodded "She's right, if there isn't a a problem with you then isn't one with us" he took a seat and motioned the trooper to stand outside, the trooper stood up straight and saluted him before making his way out the door "Kristen, take a seat" he said to her, she sat besides him and got her touch screen notepad ready.

Adriana blinked as she watched them go at it, they had only gotten through the door and were already at each other's necks. As expected it was mostly between Kings Dimitri and Alden. "Please your hignesses. the more you quarrel the more time is wasted and that is a luxury, right now, that we cannot waste" Her worry was easily sensed from her tone along with her uneasiness "she is right, if you carry on like this then you may as well destroy each others kingdoms yourselves" She ended up taking control of the situation herself.

"As i have already told you all, in different ways. The kingdoms are in danger and the Sea is becoming restless by the day" she repeated the warning to help them to understand the danger that their kingdoms were in "I was told to bring you all to Tyana because the tree of life is where my abilities will be stong enough to show you all what is to come and what we must do" she looked between them "I am only a messenger but if we are to get anywhere it is with each other and the help of my gifts"

Dimitri frowns "I have a duty to make it clear that the tree is not to be harmed..." He looked to the other two. His sister frowns "I'm sorry he's usually much much more kind. His duties sometimes get to him though and, I think they finally have, his changes in mood are not normal..." She'd look around "I think it'll be better if you just go on with your stuff you need... Brother will behave..."
