Chapter 2: The Fall Of Coneria
Location: Coneria Castle
Solarius stood outside of the Coneria Castle, with its unfamiliar landscape, but yet unsettling resemblance to his own home, Castle Baron. He had been sent here to speak with the king, as his own had directed him to.Their mages were picking up an immense amount of energy from the new area, and he was told to check it out, as if there was some sort of extremely potent magical artifact, Baron wanted its hands on it. However, upon arriving in the village, he found everyone was inside, with locked doors and frightened faces peering out of windows. He had no idea what was going on, but he proceeded to the Castle, as he needed to speak with the King to find out what the source of this magic was.At the gates, the guards halted him, although he could tell that neither of them really wanted to be outside. "Yes?" he responded coldly, not having any reason to trust them. "Who're you? You aren't the Blood Dragon, are you?" As the guard said this, he and the other drew their swords."Who's this Blood Dragon?" With that return question, the guards faltered. "Y'mean, you don't know who the Blood Dragon is?"Solarius gave a frustrated sigh. "No, I don't. Are you going to tell me or do I have to force my way in?" The guards, convinced but wary, sheathed their swords, but kept their hands on the hilt. "He's the strongest magic user ever! Able to create planets and destroy 'em, with nothin more n a thought! Wait a sec, are you from the new area?"Solarius simply nodded. "I'm here to see the king." The guards exchanged flustered looks. "Er, well, we'll accompany you, so you don't pull anything funny." Solarius shrugged, and entered the castle.Once inside, he didn't know where to go, so he looked at the guards. "Oh yes, it's right that way, up the stairs." Solarius again nodded, not bestowing any more words on them, and moved forward to climb the stairs.Once up the stairs, he moved toward the large, ornate doors that could only be the king's room. Solarius entered the throne room and kneeled before the king. "You may rise," the old king mumbled, and Solarius did so, drawing himself to his full height. "Now, why have to come to Coneria? It seems that you did not tell my guards much, but you must have impressed them enough to let you in to see me."Solarius inclined his head in a form of thank you, and then began to speak. "Your majesty, I am from the Castle Baron from what you dub, 'The New Area.' However, as silly as this must sound, those of my home dubbed you with the same name. I fear something catastrophic is happening, but that is not the reason of my coming."It seems that our wizards were mistaken, as we had detected a large magic source in this general vicinity. We were not sure if a kingdom resided up here, as he had found ourselves with other neighbors that we had never previously encountered. At any rate, I was sent to investigate, and possibly retrieve the source of magic if it was some sort of artifact. However, from speaking to your guards it became quite apparent to me that the magical source we detected is this... Blood Dragon."The king stroked his beard for several moments, and then responded with carefully chosen words. "What will you do?" Solarius shook his head. "I do not know. My mission is completed, and yet my honor bound vows inhibit me from leaving you undefended.""Undefended? Hardly. I have an entire army at my disposal.""Are any of them capable of defeating Blood Dragon?" At this the king fell silent. "I'll be staying here a few days, to restock before I return home, if the Blood Dragon attacks while I'm here I'll try to help."With that the knight left the king's quarters and started to depart from the castle.Meanwhile....The Great Army of Black Magic Users, and skeletal warriors appear from nowhere. Just as he had planned, the Red Mage delivers his army within the castle walls, right in the Castle Square. "AHHH, I see that the Conerians have prepared for my visit. It would have gone easier, however, if instead of barred walls and barricades, I had met red carpets and fruit baskets. I never receive fruit baskets from my conquered peoples. It is kind of sad really, I really like fruit. Anyway, Let us get this over with quickly!!"With that the Mages and the Skeletons set into motion. From various parts of the square emerge Soldiers to defend the beautiful walled city from the Dark forces of the Blood Dragon. However, a blast of fire from a hand here, a blast of ice from a cane there, or a slash from a skeletal warrior's sword is enough to disable many of the warriors. The Mage watches the battle for a few minutes; he sees the efficiency of his Black Mages. It seems that forcing them to live together for the past few years has gotten them use to each others fighting style and moves. He sees 2 mages standing back to back, in a fit of laughter tossing lightening bolts at groups of soldiers. Frying some, stinging some, and forcing the rest to retreat. All of a sudden, a shout is heard above the crowd, and a skeletal warrior is decapitated. A fool is rushing through the square. Searching for something. His eyes lock onto the Mages and he continues his mad dash. A mage intercepts him along the way, and is subsequently barreled over onto his ass as the warriors keeps running. The man shouts again, and screams. "I am the crown prince of Coneria!! You will not destroy my Home and future Kingdom!!!" And continues his mad dash. The Blood Dragon does not a thing. The warrior gets closer and closer. "This fool thinks he's attacking a defenseless old man," Thinks the Dragon. "Geh, I shouldn't even kill him... Wait, that gives me an Idea"The Mage's eyes close, but only for a second. The warrior gets closer and closer, closer and closer. A look of blood lust can be seen on the young face. Then! All of a sudden! *snap* Just as the Man is going to bring his sword down against the leader of the evil armies decimating his homeland, he disappears. With out a trace. The Blood Dragon Begins to Laugh. And continues to watch the battle go his way.Inside The Castle...Solarius had gotten lost in the large castle; he was finally reaching the hallway leading to the front door as he heard the screams and shouts of the warriors, as well as the sounds of battle. He lifted his spear and ran for the outside, but before even reaching the door he heard the screams or torment, this Blood Dragon was no joke. He really had no allegiance to the king here, and he could technically leave if he truly wanted to. Honor battled his survival instinct for a few moments, and he decided to see just how bad it was first before making his decision. He opened the door and saw the outside.Skeletons were everywhere. He saw guards being cut down everywhere. Solarius readied his spear, and lashed out at a skeleton, shattering its spine. Two more turned to face him, and he quickly dispatched them as well, taking a small wound to his arm. Then nearly ten turned to face him, and he knew that he couldn't handle that many. He retreated into the castle, and slammed the door shut, and dropped the bar. He then sprinted out a side door that he noticed before. He was relieved to notice that the skeletons had not come this far yet. Sneaking around, he located the stables. Sneakily, he opened the back door and found his own horse.Then, as skeletons broke through the front, he took off, heading back home to warn his own kingdom. But, when he was a safe distance away, he whirled, facing the castle, taking one last look before charging full speed to the gate, hoping for a clean getaway.Too bad for him, The Red Dragon spotted him. Immediately the dragon takes over the minds of 2 of his skeletal warriors. He turns them, and they fire 2 quick arrows, both piercing the horse in kill spots. With but a heartbeat, the beast falls, and the rider tumbles. He then mentally commands the same skeletons to bring the warrior to him. The groggy, disoriented warrior doesn't put up much of a fight, and not long later, he is standing in front of the fearsome mage. "I shall give you a choice of how to die, which you should be happy for. Most of those I meet do not receive a choice, but only my whim. The choice is this.. Either I can flay your skin from your bones, and you may join the ranks of my undead... OR, you may become a fighter for me. Do not fool yourself though, a magical spell shall be placed upon you so that I may take control of your body, or find out what you are doing, whenever I want. Choose quickly.Solarius looked up at the man who was called the Blood Dragon. The man held a countenance about him, a way that was so unreal, yet frighteningly solid at the same time. The man's red cloak and hat seemed to have fresh blood on it, in the same deep scarlet that his clothes were dyed.He looked directly into the Dragon's eyes, fighting the urge to look away. "I will serve you," he said simply, then dropped his head. "My liege." The Red mage begins to lightly chuckle, quite scary to Solarius, as it would be to anyone. Then, he opens his mouth, and begins to laugh smartly. Then, he begins to guffaw loudly, incredulously. What smart luck this was. Not only had the Castle of Coneria been caught with its pants down, now, one of the strongest warriors within the city was now his pawn... Such Great Fun.His skeletal warriors he sees are performing a house-to-house sweep, killing those who resist and rounding up those who don't. The Great Red Mage intends to put them to use as well. The Black Mages are almost all gone from sight. They are performing sweeps of the Castle, killing any one inside, including the defense forces and royal families and servants. The Mage allows this to go on for a while, and then his warriors and mages begin returning to him. "It is time we move on to the next realm my minions, my warriors. We have had a glorious win today, and tomorrow, we shall entertain another."With his small speech, and then bows from the gathered ranks in front of him, the Red Mage launches the next step in his plan. He dispatches a small force to stay here, to watch over his new residency, and then, he forms the ranks of the other warriors. He tells them to prepare for the next stage, to sleep and to rest up their powers, for tomorrow they will take over the next realm. Then, he dismissed them.With a smile on his face, his eyes return to the warrior kneeling at his feet. "What is your name warrior? I must know what to call my minions." Solarius looked up into the eyes of his new master, again fighting the urge to look away. "I am known as Solarius. I am one of the greatest warriors in my kingdom of Baron, which was once my home, but no more. Their might is nothing to yours, and I see that now."Solarius, unable to resist any longer, looked away, his eyes burning. They felt as if on fire, simply from looking into this wizard's eyes. The Red Mage, not wishing to waste time gathered up his troops and left the city, moving onto their next victim, The Second Realm.
