Kitlarak pushes in his large door and stands by the fire a few minutes... "You alright M'lord?" Queries Kitlarak's hobgoblin. "Hrm?... oh yes Hod just thinking... I have not been her long by I see her Majesty is a powerful and great ruler... and shes got a powerful bodyguard... I just wonder how long it took and what she did?..." Kitlarak's mutters. "Maybe there's a Tome M'lord..." The wizard turns his head and stares at
the Hobgoblin with glee. "Hod you Genius! Library! must find library!" he yells as he leaves his shop in a hurry... "Glad to help..." His Hobgoblin mutters suprised at his spot above the fireplace...

Kitlarak appears at a large library door and slowly steps in... "helllllo?... helllllllllo?... Good!" he says as he walks toward a shelf that is labeled Caldemon History. "What have we here??" He pulls down a random book and says "Not quite what I am looking for..." he mutters to over 15 different books! "hmmm... seems I may be here a while" He sighs and continues his search

Unbeknown to her of anyone being in the castle library, she steps in to sit at her desk and work on her daily paperwork.
Having just returned from making the rounds of the kingdom and checking on the lands and the people within, she was tired. She met the people riding her massive ivory steed through the lands and mountain area. But the lands were observed in another manner. In a form that only those close to her knew about.
As she stepped though with a mug of hot tea in hand, she was startled by the form that stood within the dim confines, her mug fell from her hand as it was quickly replaced by her sword and eyes narrowed ready for battle.
" Halt, who goes there?" Her voice commanded in a steady calm.

His head cock's to the side and he crouch's in a 'charge' posture. "WHAT THE!?..." He breathes slowly and begins to get up. "DON'T do that!..." He strug's off his hood and look's at the one who has so wamly greeted him. "Oh whew! It's just you Lady FallanW0lf... thought you might be another one of those da..ng Kobald's..." He grab's a chair and sit's down "But it's just me... Kitlarak... the Wizard with the Magic and
Weapon's shop in one..." He looks at the floor at Lady FallanW0lf's feet "You dropped your tea... now the mug's shattered and tea all dirty..." He waves his hand and the bit's of mug and tea fly toward the table and reassemble still steaming. "Have a seat? I need to get back to my... um... er... research!... ye that'd describe it..."

She looks at the man and then quirks a brow as she watches the mug repair itself and return to its state before she dropped it.
It was then she resheathed her sword and looked back to the man, her hand now occupied by the mug. Leaning back on her desk her golden gaze returns to the man.
" What is it that thee are researching? "

He chuckles and say's. "Don't ask..." He shrugs his hood and you see he is rather young! "I know it's bizzare to see a almost 14 boy in a library considering at this age we dodge em like the plague... well I need to get back to work..." he turns back toward the history shelf looking at a book... picking it up... then muttering "not what I am looking for"

A soft chuckle as she watches him, she then takes her paperwork she needs and makes her way to her room to work on them, leaving him to go through all the musky books bound in leather.

He continues his search until he find's a a book the he thinks might be it... but causes an avalanche.. "Yahhhhhhh!... New meaning for paper press!" He reach's his hand up and uses his magic to get the books back on the shelf in order... "Kitlarak m'boy call this a lesson... don't be nosey... but the info may come in handy... why don't I ask her?... nah... well... why not? the worst she can do is banish me!..." He has a
seat and relaxes and wait's patiently for Lady Fallan to return.

She makes it part way up the stairs when she remembers she needed to get the accounts book from her desk.
With a sigh she turns and makes her way back down the stairs and towards her office.
As she stands outside the door she hears the loud thump, quickly she opens the door to find the young boy sitting in a chair patiently, the office is as she left it.
A quirk of her brow as she looks at the young man once more.

"Avalanche M'lady... be careful what books you pull down from the history section... glad you back though cause what I am researching I can't find in any of these books... I am trying to find out about what you have done here and Caldemon and why it's so great... and this question may be personal m'lady so feel free to dive at me in rage... how exactly did you get that warrior... ummm... Kaldon? ye Kaldon that was it -
to be your bodyguard? he does only what he want's as far as I know and he is rather powerful... if you could answer these questions it'd be... appreciated... or tell me where I can find the answer..."

she chuckles as she looks at him and then to the books on the shelf he indicated. She then tilted her head upon his inquire, she paused for a moment in reflection as she remembers the kingdom of old and before the lands of her father and her lands through inheritance both by a distant relative and her deceased husband was used to build the kingdom upon.
A shake of her head as she draws herself back to the present reality and she replies.
"Kaldon? he has been a friend to me for many years. I knew him when I was a mere knight myself, before all this royal buisness. He was a warriior within the kingdom back when my father was king. As far as what makes Caldemon so great?"
She walks to the window and pushes it open and then motions him to come stand beside her as she gazes out it.
" See all the people who mill about below? That is what makes Caldemon great, it is the people within it. A ruler is only as good as those who follow. And believe me, we have some very powerful and loyal subjects in this kingdom. Does that answer thy question, or be there more? "

: she looks up and smiles as she sees Matthew, then looks back to the young man, his wisdom took him above his tender age of 13 in her mind
" Those who come here do so of their free will, I try to rule with an equalness to those who reside in my kingdom. My wish is for my people to live in peace and happiness in a time where the world is enveloped in misery. They move here at first out of curiosity, they stay here because it is thy wish and they are content in their placement."
Looks up at Matt and winks before she looks back to the young mage.

The Wizard nod's at her words and continues his queries "Two more questions and you can have some peace... this place has been built up and is rather powerful now... do you call it Skill by you and your council? Luck? Or hard work and co-operation? And why have you answered the questions with such amazing and seem to be true answer's?"

Soft laugh as she looks at him. She walks past him and pats his shoulder, almost motherly like and then walks to the window and opens it.
" Would thee rather have a Queen that is decietful, hateful and unjust?"
Smiles as she winks at Matthew, mirth dances within her golden gaze and then she looks back to the boy.
" Cooperation is what built this kingdom. Leadership is important, but what is leadership if there is no one to lead? No one to listen? I am a true believer that it is the people who helped to build this kingdom to what it is, I merely provided the land and enforce the laws."

He grin's and his eye's turn a lighter purple. "M'lady you are truly a wise... and the way you have been to your kingdom and people a good queen... I also see why Kaldon pay's you such respect... you deserve it... may your destiny be greater than my eyes can see... even though it look's like you have quite a destiny... thank you for answer my Hoard of question's.." he look's outside and half yell's "AHHHH! This much time
has passed!? Shoulda learned how to make gateway's!" He run's toward the window and quickly say's "Excuse me M'lady!" He get's on the sill then a pair of large crimson wing's rip from his robe! He turns toward Her Majesty Lady FallanW0lf "Thank's again!" He the jumps off the sill and begin's to flap, soon he is only a dot in the sky.

Kitlarak slowly awoke from unconsciousness remember he was lying on the ground in a forest... that seem's to have moved... he looks around muttering words that shouldn't be said by a boy... "Watch your tounge unless you want it cut out..."Mutters a deep scratchy voice behind him. He quickly falls off of what he just realizes is a hammock and look's behind him to see a dwarf with a beard almost as long as the dawrf "Who
the?..." The dwarf nods and say's "Names Silas Fort.... Yours is Kitlarak Ackmar..." The wizard stares at the dawrf stunned while it shoots out some more words "Did you like the afterlife? If you did sorry to bring you back." The wizard keeps staring at mutters 'A-a-afterlife!?" The dwarf grins and raises a sleeve with the tatoo of the necromancers sign. "We spellcasters need to watch out for each other!... especially since it's my spell that brought
you down in the first place... don't use your wings for a few days!!" The wizard gunts as he gets up muttering "What do you mean?" "I set a spell to cause great pain to any nearby deamons... well it counted half Deamons too... sorry..." The wizard flexs his fist's considering trying to strangle the dwarf. "Where am I?" In the forest... your shops a half day's pace away... north. you need more sleep to let your bones heal!" as if to enforce that the
wizard falls over barely in the hammock. "Remind me to pay you back sometime..." he then realizes his Katana is not upon his back and his eyes flare "WHERE IS AEARE'S RAGE!?" he bellows "A boy like you shouldn't carry a sword... but here it is anyway..." he then pulls it from the air and the wizard quickly grabs it... he then lies back in the hammock and sleeps contentedly holding the sword close "Poor boy.." Mutters the dwarf as he leaves the room
"To be the halfbreed of Deamon..."

Kitlarak slowly awakens feeling much better but still achey "Dwarf if you weren't a Necromancer you'd be dead in a few minutes..." groaned Kitlarak as he slowly gets up. "Sleep need you more!" Comes a loud highpitched voice. Kitlarak nearly jumps as he turns to find a small baby Gryffon by the hammock he was in. "What you want?" growls Kitlarak "Munch munch! Me you follow." before Kitlarak can answer then Gryffon is off
and running toward the door... somehow with his little talons he opens it and run's down a large gold carpeted hall "Oy! Just heal and gotta go on a tame Gryffon chase" Then Kitlarak hobbles after the Gryffon yelling "Slow down your scaled sparrow!"

Kitlarak hobbles after the Gryffon but suddenly he stops... he sniffs the air and a deep evil part of him loves the smell... "sorrow?... much of it too... it'd take a third or caldemon too create such loss... once I get out of this place I must find out what happened..." he then returns to his hobble but something is still there... he smells again then his eyes steam and fog over... he see's... what?... dead...
someone... traitorous but good in finality... unknown... never knew... some powerful... "Now I know I MUST get out and find out what happened!..." he winces but begins to ran using his Katana and hilt as a cane "Sorry rage of Aeare but I need speed!" he finally makes it to a large table... glistening... power with it... the Dwarf... Silas was at the opposite end... he had a plate of food in front of him but he just stared at it coldly "What happened?
There is sorrow everywhere!" the dwarf mutters "Lord W0lf..." not looking away from his food "Never met him but I know a little of him... why?" the dwarf goes a while without answering then he mutters "Dead..." the wizard shrugs and says "So what? he'll be back in a couple of days" The dwarf screams "FOOL! His soul has fled! EVEN I CAN'T BRING HIM BACK!!" the dwarf throws the food across the room and the wizard stares and mutters "What?... only those
who have been dead for ages or don't want back can do that..." the dwarf pauses again then says "Killed himself... he couldn't live being branded a traitor..." the wizard then pauses and say's "I didn't know him... but poor Lady W0lf must be devestated... Kaldon... Lord Colton... if she asks for your help you'd better give it... poor Fallan..." The dwarf just barely looks at Kitlarak as he slowly leaves "Door back is over here..." he then points
north to a wall that is not like the rest Kitlarak begins to mutter something but then the necromancer is gone the wizards looks down a aqua tone in his eyes "Brothers if Lord W0lf ends up with you... spare him... reccomend him... for my sake... or more like fallan's... poor poor woman... must be terrible for her and those who knew him" he then pulls up the hood on his robe and puts his Katana across his back "Well Hod I am going to be there soon
enough..." he then inches toward the wall and pushs it open to emerge upon the forest floor "North huh?... then on I go"... he goes... takes him tall past nightfall but he returns to his shop and sit's down by the door "Hod?" his hobgoblin the scamper over and queries "M'lord?" "goto the castle and see how her majesty is holding up... do NOT let her know of your presence... be quick... let her mourn in peace..." the hobgoblin then nods and scampers
up the chimney and away "Good luck Hod... and be happy Lady W0lf... do you think he'd want u to hold up all he'd done cause you mourn him... what am I saying I have no right to judge her!... but be happy... you are a wise and great queen lady W0lf... now you must rule alone..." he then sighs and goes back to tending his shop.

There is a firm knock upon the wizard's door and he is rather startled for it! "Uh... door's open..." A small but firm herald with a bulging sack steps inside and hand's the wizard a letter "He wait a sec..." Kitlarak murmurs The herald leaves saying "sorray sah mahst get one of these to everyane in Caldemon!" The wizard snorts opens the envelope and sit's down on a rather comfortable chair to read it "Yada yada...
written with a heavy heart... blah blah blah..." he continues to read till he bellows "RELINQUESH YOUR THRONE AND CROWN!?" the wizard the drop's the envelope and is glad he's not standing up for a wave of dizziness and worry. Then his hobgoblin drop's down the chimney ready to give his report "M'lord... she sulking like she's lost her soul!" the wizard slowly breathe before saying "She lost her husband... to many there love is their soul... I don't
need anymore report Hod I have plenty right here." the Hobgoblin the shrugs and wanders off in the store. "Fallan you are truly a wise queen... but there is no wisdom in what I see..." he then finishes the letter and say's "At least I'll know where to find her for a nice long chat..." he sighs and reach's in his pocket to pull out a talisman with a Black Dragon encarved in it. "Yes hod some people's love are their soul..." he then slowly gets up and
steps outside and almost teary eyed mutters "Aeare I haven't used this since I was banished from Etheral... now I must forget the past and move on!" He tosses the amulet upon himself and makes a transformation into a black dragon that could dwarf many others! The dragon breathes in air happy. "Aeare I thank you once more for this amulet!" he then flaps his wings and fly's into the forgetting the worries of himself and his friends for a little while... to dance among the clouds.
