The year is 1100 AGD. AGD meaning After the Great World Divider is a time of mild chaos in a world ruled by weapons and battle prowess. Nri is one of such Kingdom that has thrived in this era. The Kingdom has gained numerous lands and natural resources over the centuries through conquest. In this kingdom, in a luxuriously fashioned room, a gentle-looking man in his late forties with intimidating yellow pupil sits majestically on a beautifully crafted wooden chair. He has dark skin with black hair tapered on the sides and a nicely trimmed mustache. The chair he sits on is intricately designed. The man is sited at the edge of the hall-like room. Ten chairs surround a long table that is six feet away from the man. Two long stairs lead to where the man sits. In front of this handsome middle-aged man kneels another man in light silver armor. He holds his helmet in one hand and kneeling with one knee. He looks up to the gentleman and speaks.
“My Lord, something incredible has occurred”
The armored man excitedly speaks bowing his head slightly. The Lord hardly changes his expression which is currently neutral looking, he is neither smiling nor frowning.
“Continue”
“About two hours ago, a figure was seen coming out of the Great World Divider…”
The lord immediately rises from his chair interrupting the kneeling soldier. The expression he now dons is one few have seen. He is startled but only for a few seconds, and his expression returns to its neutral state.
Just as the lord is resuming his sitting position, two more individuals walk into the room. They are dressed similarly to the lord, but more traditional. They are both wearing colorfully patterned designed clothing. One of the individuals is male and the other female. The male wears a half-buttoned shirt with half unbuttoned, exposing his moderately hairy chest. They take the furthest seats away from the lord and only slightly nodding acknowledgment to the lord before sitting. The girl, 16 years of age addresses the lord.
“Father, three of the other tribes are already on the move”
She gently speaks, but enough for everyone present to hear.
“They are the High tribe clans”
The young man of 24 added.
The lord did not change his expression and ignoring the two, he addresses the still kneeling soldier.
“Is his Majesty the King aware of this occurrence?”
“Yes Lord, I was told that the news was sent to his Majesty immediately after the sighting. And his Majesty has already ordered four Commanders to apprehend the individual looking creature thing…”
After a brief pause, he continues…
“His Majesty has also ordered all available tribes and troops to be on standby and watch the situation”
“Sorry Father, I have the orders with me. I was just about to bring it to you, I guess Kato beat me to it”
The young man interjected while slightly laughing.
Kato who is still kneeling had a few drops of nervous sweat after the young man’s remake.
“If four commanders personally act, I hardly think we would need to interfere. No!! if we interfere it will only spell trouble for our clan in the future, right Father?”
The young man addressed his father the lord.
“Watch what you say Ogon, these are his Majesty’s orders…”
The girl retorts to her brother before the lord can respond, but she is cut short as she feels the air pressure in the room ever so slightly intensified. Since his children walked into the room, the lords' face from time to time shows an irritated expression. He speaks to Kato.
“I command you in my name Rayowa Lungile to gather 200 of the best of your men and under the banner of the high tribe, clan of Lungile, join the troops on standby as his Majesty commands”
“I Kato Jasper will follow your command”
Kato responds and quickly leaves the room. Due to the prior increase in the air pressure, Ogon and his sister seem a little more serious.
“Father what shall we do”
Ogon ask the lord
“You shall accompany me to his Majesty’s side and Selene you will stay and protect our clan until my arrival”
Selene seems as though she wants to voice her dissatisfaction with her father’s decision, but the look on his face dissuades her. Although, his expression has remained the same.
