"Our queen directs us, not you. You're her boyfriend, for crying out loud!" The council member retorted |

Gale just yawned, flipping a dagger in his hands. "Yeah well if you want to keep your heads than I suggest you leave." |

"Sit down and shut up, keep running your mouth and our kingdom will be up in flames." He snapped, continuing to speak. "Most of you should know me, I see a few people I know in here from being the guards at my cell or the ones who've joined me in missions. If not, i'm Gale Hummendeaus, name should ring a bell or two. The reason you were summoned is because Kayla's brother wants the throne back, and he's willing to destroy anything in his way. I was at his camp, having plans on killing him before hearing the information i'm about to share. He's planning a countdown, five days five attacks. First day is five kills, then four, then three, then two, and finally, one. Now what happens on the sixth day, you may ask." He paused, gaze hardening. "He invades." |

"What do we do? Guard the perimeter? We already do that. Fight back? Obviously we would. What's the plan, hotshot?" |

"We use the queen as bait, have it seem she's just taking a walk in the woods. We'll have troops sneak onto the base, blending with his. . . guards I guess. When somebody alerts she's vulnerable, they'll strike. Which is where we come in to play." Numerous members nodded. "Those guards we let into the base will come out with his battalions, attacking his troops as we send in our usuals. Schnapp, Clark, and especially ol' Sweetbane. Those three will lead their own groups, only the most elite knights we have." |

The war council nodded, calling the men in and explaining their part in it. All three men nodded and bowed to Gale. |
