***Emergency Broadcast - Commonwealth Media Network

The alert was broadcasted across every media network, radio band, and alert system.

Quote:
 

This is an Emergency Broadcast, this is not a test. Repeat this is an Emergency Broadcast, this is not a test.

Simultaneous attacks against the Commonwealth states of Castilis, Zanvuer, Cal Gallia, and Mestra have occurred at 21:30 Commonwealth Standard Time. Reports indicate massive bombing in cities along the northern borders of Mestra, Zanvuer, and Cal Gallia. Reports estimate loss of life in the millions, with damage in the billions.

Report attacks on the Commonwealth Naval Port in Castilis have been confirmed. Officials have confirmed the deaths of 3,468 people including military and civilian personal. Castilis cities have suffered damage, death toll and damge has yet to be provided.

Report ...


The broadcast was cut short, as the billions of citizens around the Nation's Commonwealth panicked, holding onto their loved ones. The signal for the Emergency Broadcast had been cut off, but by what?

Moments later the regular news networks who remained in operation appeared on the screens throughout the Commonwealth nations.

In Mestra, the main news network stationed in the port city of Cias began broadcasting across the entire Empire.

"Less than an hour ago coordinated attacks took place across the entire Empire and the Commonwealth. We are confirming that the death toll is in the millions. The Military Command has issued a state of emergency and Primier Vasko has assumed command of Commonwealth Security Forces after communication with the Commonwealth Triumvirate was severed.

It has further been confirmed that a bomb was detonated on the south east wing of the Imperial Palace in I'balan, there has been no communication from the Palace and we are unaware at this time if the Imperial Family was in the blast.

We will keep you updated on further develop..." The Anchor was handed a piece of paper. His face went pale as his hands started trembling.

"Ladies and Gentleman, we have confirmed reports that a Class IX mini-nuclear warhead was detonated on the Commonwealth District of the Mestran Capitol of I'balan. The blast has incenrated 1/8th of the city, and confirmation has been given that the Commonwealth government was destroyed. The Triumvirate is presumed dead along with the Ambassadors and foreign delegates living on Embassy Row."


As mass confusion filled the Mestran Empire, its military was being recalled. The largest Naval blockade in Mestran and Atlantian History was now underway. Nothing was getting in or out of the Empire. Air Traffic was halted, and Legions were dispatched along the entire Mestran Border. While the Nation's Commonwealth collapsed, its former member nations began isolating themselves.


It would take months of searching before the group behind the attacks was found, and on that day the world would change for the second time.


OOC: to clarify all use of the term Commonwealth refers to the Nation's Commonwealth. This commonwealth was an organization of nations based in Atlantis and has no affiliation with the Commonwealth of Regions, except that the Nation's Commonwealth inspired the naming of the Commonwealth of Regions.

Castilis The Day of Attack 

Sevile Naval Port

It was like any other day in port city, the hustle and bustle of local markets, the steady merchant vessels coming in and out handling the exports and imports of the kingdom.

The only difference was a visit to the city by his majesty King Charles, who was at the city center in talks with the duke of sevile.  

At 12.30 it all changed a attack hit the port. Car bombs were used to disrupt all major routes in and out of the city. Chaos soon descended on the roads and emergency services flooded the roads to deal with the attacks. 

Half an hour later a communications blackout hit the city, no one knew what was going on. The emergancy services were in disary as a group of terrorists armed with small arms attacked the city center, the Duke of sevile's personal home.

They overran the personal guards of the duke and the king in a matter of minutes. It wasn't long until they were right outside the meeting room's door, Charles quickly armed himself with a hand gun as the attackers breached the door.

Charles was stunned by the blast as well as the duke of sevile who was quickly shot in the chest. Charles returned fire not knowing if he hit them or not before he felt a large amount of pain coming from his leg. 

Charles, the king had been shot. As he looked back up from his wound a man covered completely in black stood in front of him. The man quickly raised the butt of his rifle and came down hard.

All went black for Charles.

4 Hours after attack

The engineers had finally fixed the blackout that had effected the communications in and around the city for the past 4 or so hours. There has been no word from the Dukes House.

5 hours after the attack

Emegency services had finally sorted out the mess on the roads into sevile. There were hundreds of causties due to the bombing and the resulting crashes.

Armed Police were towards the Dukes Home, where they were met resistance from the attackers. But it was nothing the armed police couldn't handle. 

They got to the meeting room they could only found the dead body of the duke. The king was missing.

4 Days after Attack

The Kingdom was a wreck, the attack on sevile had schocked the entire nation so much that they hadn't even thought about what had happened to the Members to Nations Commonwealth.

There was no king, the dukes and councils were arguing with each other. There was no leadership. The military was taking matters into it's own hands by searching for the kidnappers. But it was agreed by all the public or anyone else outside the Highest ranks of military and the goverment couldn't find out about
the disapperance of the king.

One Hour after the Attack

Panicked citizens in I'balan had either locked themselves inside their homes or made an attempt to leave the city. Matthew, his wife Sarah, and their sons Liam and James, were shaken up as they looked across the horizon of the city. The power had been gone since the attack, and an eerie chill filled the air as they look out across the now darkened Eternal City. In the distance, what remained of a small mushroom cloud could be seen where the Commonwealth District use to be. Fires raged across the city providing minsicual light, and at the center of the city, was the palace. The fires had finally been put out.

Strangely there were no lights from cars, Matthew knew as a physcist that the nuclear bomb must have generated an EMP (electro-magnetic pulse).

Two days after the Attack

MCN News

"As damages are assessed and the loss of life is totaled, a sigh of relief is felt across the Empire as news of the Imperial Family's survival has hit the presses. The Emperor who was badly injured protecting not only his family, but those staff around him, but he is expected to make a full and speedy recovery.

Information has surfaced that the Soldiers of Truth are responsible for the attacks, and the head of the organization Ralphael Montaro claims responsibility. Around the former Commonwealth, many people are referring to the attacks as the Day of Truth, indicating that the truth of their security and safety was overexaggerated.

Day of the Attack - Cal Gallia

The night air was crisp and clear across the city of Gall. The Cal Gallian capitol shown like a gleaming jewel set to a back drop of pristine mountains. Many citizens had gone to bed, others were partying the night away at the local clubs and bars. Peace was as it always was.

Alexis walked out of the club with here two best friends. They had had a ladies' night out, but Alexis had a big interview the next day. The newly graduated communications major was hoping to land a dream job at the Cal Gallian News Network. The girls were gossiping about one of the young men who they found attractive but overrated. The girls laughter was cut short by a flash of light in the distance. Several more flashes followed. The girls thought the flashes were some extravagant fire works show, but the lights got brighter and closer. Flashes of White light filled the sky.

Without warning blasts of air flew down the streets, exploding nearby windows, setting off car alarms, and shaking the street. Screams filled the air as the power to the district went down. Alexis and her friends were in total darkness with exception of the white flashes. As they took cover near a nearby bus, another much closer flash of light filled the sky. The girls shielded their eyes from the intense rays. As the brightness flashed and their vision began to return, they could feel the shockwave of whatever caused the light.

Alexis' eyes drew wide. In place of the light stood a rising collumn of cloud, its interior ablaze with orange and red light, indicative of flames. The end had arrived, before the girls not just 6 miles away stood the plume cloud of a micro-nuke. Before they could take it all in another detonation of a much closer nuke ended the last sight of Alexis.

From a distance, the valley ridge upon which Cal Gallia had been built nearly 400 years ago after the Mestran Occupation, was gone. the city was now ash and skeletons, the capitol of the Great Gallen Empire destroyed. Night had fallen on Gall.

Castilis
A Week after Attack - Location Unkown

Everything was dark, there was no sense of time in this darkness, Charles didn't know where he was or how long it had been since he was captured for all he knew he could be in a diferent nation.

He was thinking of any possible enemies of his or of castilis that would go to such a risk to do this too him and Castilis but he couldn't think of any one big of enough or daring enough to do so.

All of a sudden the veil of darkness was lifted and Charles was stunned by the light

Castilis, Parma City - A week after Attack

The Noblity and Councils were still arguing over what to do while the military was running wild, which was arresting any one under the suspricion of any crime trying to get any scrape of infomation possible.

One such arrestie, mentioned a group called the soldiers of truth, but no such organisation offically existed with in the kingdom.

The next day

Major General Arnold Weir walked into the Escorial Palace where the councils and dukes had been arguing for the past week. Arnold walked straight into the midst of the group, pointed his pistol in the air and fired.

"Listen in, from this moment on we are under martial law and I appoint myself as regent in place of the king untill his safe return"

The entire court was stunned by the announcement and as serveral men wearing black armour rushed the room to reinforce the General.

Cal Gallia - Four Days after the Attack

Most of the Cal gallian country side surrounding the city had been either bombed or irradiated by the nuclear blasts. Ash still rose from the crater that use to be the capitol. Thousands of survivors who were on the outer edges of the city were moving across the countryside and down towards the southern border. Small pockets of military units were assisting the survivors, but unfortunately whoever began the attacks took out most of the major military bases in the country.

Beyond all belief, Alexis and her friends had survived, though badly injured and suffering from severe radiation poisoning the girls made their way with the survivors to the south. The girls would need further anti-radiation treatments, and the military supplied treatments weren't going to last much longer. Accompanying the girls was a young woman, about three years their age. She was wearing tattered and torn clothes, Alexis was sure they were high fashion clothes.

Screams filled the air. In the distance little black dots came over the nearest mountain ridge. As they descended it became quite clear that they were military aircraft, and they definitely were not Cal Gallian. The Airships and choppers flew over head as fighter jets made passes over the valley. The Cal Gallian troops attempted to guard the civilians from this possible foe.

Soon after appearing a large Drop ship landed just 500 feet from Alexis and the nearby military unit. The Drop ship bore the Mestran Flag, and as the other airships and craft landed, Mestran soldiers pored out. Behind them came medical units. From the drop ship closest Alexis, three men followed closely by four armed soldiers approached. The man on the left wore a military uniform, high ranking given the stars, and the man on the right was wearing a suit.

The man in the middle passed by the Cal Gallian soldiers, they seemed dumbfounded by this mans' appearance. He wore khaki dress slacks and a button up white shirt with the color loose. His neck bore bruises, and his left cheek boar a few scrapes.

The man towered above Alexis and the girls. "Get these woman medical attention immediately. Your Royal Highness, we have come to help." Alexis was confused. Did the man just call her, her highness? No that couldn't be it. She followed his gaze to the woman who had been with them since they left the ruined city. She lifted her head up and smiled. "Thank you Alexander, late as ever I see."

Alexander, Emperor of the Mestran Empire let out a laugh. A medical team helped Alexis and her friends onto the drop ship Alexander had left. Alexander had personally lifted the Princess of Gall off her feet and carried her to the drop ship.

---------

As Mestra looked to heal its own wounds, it quickly reopened its borders to thousands of refugees who were pouring across the border. Alexander had turned his sights on Cal Gallia the most hardly hit of the former Commonwealth States, but to the north problems were brewing in Castilis, and Zanvuer had remained oddly quite in the wake of the attacks.

Across the ocean the nation of Rogue Shadows had remained in the dark after the attacks on the Commonwealth Core. Rogue Shadows hadn't been attacked, mostly given its geography. Hopefully it was time for them to mobilize to help their fallen comrades.

Ironicness
OOC: Castilis, I hope you don't mind that I have an embassy with you... you're my friend right? :)

IC: Ambassador Lucas Morey was in Parma City for a diplomatic visit to discuss Castilian-Ironic military relations. He was walking in the city square when a man in black ran up and forced a pill down his throat. All of a sudden, everything went black. The last thing he felt was the man catching him as he fell.

He awoke several hours later on a cot in an underground room. As he sat up, vision returning, he noticed the man in black typing on a computer on a desk a few yards away. He starting panicking before realizing that it was only the head IEX security agent. "Why did you drug me? Where are we?" he asked.

The man, who was Agent Brillhart as a matter of fact, turned around in his chair. "Oh good, you're up," he said. "Oh well, I guess I better fill you in."

"Last you knew, you were walking in the city plaza, right?" Brillhart began. "At that time, I'd just received a notification from the International Advisory Team that there were terrorism suspicions. We knocked you out to offset any gasses or bio-terrorism that might occur, then hurried down here, the bunker under the Ironic embassy."
"So why don't we go up there and sort this out?" Morey asked.
"We can't." replied Brillhart. "Seconds after we shut the door, the city was attacked. Bombed. As a matter of fact, the Ironic Embassy above us is now rubble. And we can't leave. A code 3 like this, we have to stay down here for a while. Ironic law. All that Dana Letran crap."
Morey sighed. What would happen next?

A week later

"I appoint myself as regent in place of the king untill his safe return", Major Weir had just announced. Several men wearing black armour rushed the room to reinforce the General and shut the doors.

A member of the court stood up and shouted his disagreement. He was taken by the men and thrown out of the hall. One made to bar the doors, but someone outside pushed them open.

"I don't think so." Ambassador Morey stood there triumphantly flanked by two IEX agents. "Ambassador Lucas Morey, Ironic National Embassy. And anyone who throws out a member of democracy? We're not taking it."

"Ha!" Major Weir spat. "A three man army? What a joke. I've never associated myself with you Ironics, and I don't care. Take 'em out, boys."

"Remember those chopper sounds yesterday? When everyone was cowering in fear in place of an attack? Those were Ironic military jets. The Prime Minister has spoken, Weir, and you can't do this to Castilis." Morey motioned behind him, and a crowd of people in Ironic military camo stepped out behind. "Now YOU take 'em out, boys."

The men in black stood shoulder to shoulder with Weir. The soldiers stood with Morey...

Castilis
"You do realise ambassdor, Castilis has never been a Democracy. All these councils and Noblity are only advisery groups to the king which he can dismiss at time the king so desires." General Weir Replied

"And this my dear Friend, is the Escorial Palace. The home of the king and where no foreigner can step without the express invitation of the king. To barge into the palace without the permission of the king is a declaration of war against Castilis, we recongised that they were your Aircraft and that's why we didn't shoot, carry on and we will"

If the ambassoder looked round him at that moment he would of seen the displeased faces of the ruling Noblity and council men murmering among themselves agreeing with Weir It was a look of disgust and anger, while they weren't to happy with General Weir, they hated Morey more at this moment. Who did he think he was, he can't just walk in here and interfere with internal Castilian politics at least Weir was one of them.

Before Weir and Morey could say another word the Duke of Parma walked inbetween them. Duke nathan was often seen as a the peace-maker between the agruing of the Councils before the attack.

"Ambassdor, may I suggest you leave the palace and not interfere with our internal politics. You must understand that right now we as a kingdom are in a massive state and without the king present to handle the situation. We as the councils can do nothing legaly but with a regent our actions can become legal. You must also realise that flying your Military aircraft in the airspace of another Sovergion nation is a serious offense to that nation, worthy of retaliation by the said nation military. Consider yourselves lucky in that regard.

Nathan stoped for breath before turning to face Morey
"While I do not agree with the way General Weir announced his new position, something needed to be done to try and remedy the Kings Councils and Court for his return. Now please leave before the relations between our two nations sour beyond repair, I will handle it from here"

Nathan turned to Weir
"Now Regent would you mind coming though with me into a smaller room, you have much to learn about the daily tasks of being a regent."

But Weir wasn't moving, he was staring down at the ambassdor
"I will move duke when he does" was weir's reply

OOC: that's fine about embassy, just try not to control others characters :)

OOC: Sure, no problem, thanks for not blowing up (at least OOC) Now let's see, what do I do next...

IC: Morey's eyes darted back and forth. He knew that he couldn't very well just leave, but how could he get out of offending the Council?

"It was that guy!" he yelled, pointing at a member of the Council. "The guy in the green! He set us up! Now let's get out of here, boys!" One of the IEX threw down a powder of some sort, and the chamber filled with fog. When it cleared, every Ironic soul in the building was gone.

The next day, the Atrigean Reporter headlined, "Ambassador for Justice Scrambles Under Pressure," Chief Ambassador Cary Swinand chucked the newspaper at Morey, who was standing somewhat guiltily in front of her desk.

"You... you what?" she sputtered. "I've never heard of such a thing in my entire career! You called in the MILITARY for no apparent reason, then actually threatened, THREATENED, a REGENT of Castilis! What were you THINKING?"

"I- I just wanted to do the right thing..." Morey stammered.

"The right thing? You completely ignored Castilian tradition and law, then backed out within a second of opposition! You somehow made us look like both jerks and cowards at the same time! It's all I could do not to have Weir declare war on Ironicness! And now I have to explain this all to the Prime Minister!" Swinand stood up. "You are banned from entering Castilis ever again. Hand me your Diplomat's Card." He reluctantly obeyed. She ripped it up. "You are unfit to represent Ironicness. Now march to the Ellipse Edifice (Ironic Oval Office) and either give Andrew Bowron a magic reason to keep you, or hand in your resignation."

As Morey hung his head, Cary fumed, sighed, and grabbed a piece of National Embassy stationery. "To the honorable members of the Council..." She apologized for Morey's actions, asked forgiveness, pledged the Ironic military's help in finding the King, and reminded them of the great friendship between Ironicness and Castilis. Signing her name, she sealed the envelope, dropped it down a chute, then sat back in her chair.

Three Hours after the Attack - Imperial Palace - Mestra

Rubble filled the Palace wing, the explosion had damaged most of the structure, but the main support beans were still standing. Crews acted quickly to clear the rubble on the outer east wall. As they finally broke through, they found the Imperial Family and four of the Palace staff. It took another forty minutes before they dug out the emperor. He was still alive but injured. The emperor was air lifted to I'balan Imperial, the primary hospital in the capitol, which had not been bombed or attacked, fortunately. As the nation was gripped with fear, the emperor was recovering.

Twelve hours later, the emperor awoke, and his anger and vengence would fall upon the Soldiers of Truth.

Two weeks after the attack - Cal Gallia

Mestran forces dominated the landscape and airspace of Cal Gallia. Supplies were being shipped in to aid the populace, while Imperial Legions secured the nation's borders and cities and searched for the last SoT cells.

In the north, problems were escalating. Castilis was being controlled by a military tyrant, but Mestra refused to aid the nation.

Alexander, the emperor was quoted saying, "While we feel for our brethren in Castilis, we as a nation cannot interfere in the affairs of a sovereign state. It is true that the Old Commonwealth has fallen and it is thus we are not obligated to aid in protecting the former Commonwealth states, however Castilis is not being attacked by an outside force, and I see no reason to interfere unless we absolutely have to. I will not commit this nation to a war against a sovereign nation while we are involved in humanitarian aid to our Cal Gallia and Zanvuer, and while we hunt down the Soldiers of Truth."

Castilis
Two Weeks After Attack

Weir had gained near enough complete control of castilis. The Ironicness attack on his assertion of his new position of regent surpised him but it was good as now with Duke Nathan help he now had the councils under his complete control. Still there were one or two rebellious nobles left in the councils but weir soon purged them from their positions.

Weir was now siting in his new office, formerly the king's office. It was quite lavish as expected from the king's own finances and palace. Weir had all the guards on posting at the palace switched with his own black armoured soldiers who were also mangering major intelligance and security around the capital.

Not long into Weir's relaxation time in the office there was a knock on the office door.
"Sir your guest has arrived" said the guard on the other side of the door.
"Please let him in, we have much to dicuss" Weir replied smiling as he saw an old friend and ally walk in.

Ralphael Montaro, leader of the soldiers of truth had finally revealed himself.

Alabaster
The Day Of The Attack- Los Alamos

As word of the attack reached The Democratic Republic of Rogue Shadows, the citizens naturally became very frightened. As an ally of the victims, what would become of them? Luckily, the natural distance of Rogue Shadows from the mainland allowed them time to declare a state of heightened alert and brace for any possible attack. Chancellor Alabaster deemed it necessary to address the public and inform them of the state of things.

The highlight of his address was, "Rogue Shadow's allies have been the victims of unwarranted attacks! These attacks have threatened their ways of life, and as a result, our way of life! These acts will not be tolerated! I have every intention to provide aid to our wounded allies, and will not rest until those responsible are found!"

Six Days After The Attack-Midnight of Seventh Day-
Three residents of Shady Spring, on the peak of Mount Bismark, were hospitalized with the same acute cases of poisoning, which were traced to the mountain's natural water supply, which provides most of the nation's clean drinking water. Although only trace amounts were found, the government declared that all the water from it was undrinkable, resulting in massive recalls, distribution of imported bottled water, and many tests of water in all of Rogue Shadow's bodies of water. The poison was determined to be man-made and made from a plant not native to the country. Although there was no proof, the government believed that the Soldiers of Truth were behind the poisoning and armed forces were deployed to monitor and patrol the bodies of water. It is unknown when it will be deemed safe to drink from the country's own natural water supply.

One Week After The Attack
Chancellor Alabaster sent aide ships over to Rogue Shadow's wounded allies with supplies and manpower to help. Military troops were sent over as well to help find the Soldiers of Truth responsible for the attacks.

Three Weeks after the Attack - Cal Gallia

Things had gone quite sour in Cal Gallia. Despite the efforts of what remained of the government and military to restabilize the country, and despite the aid from Mestra, Cal Gallia had fallen into a civil war. Ancient political feuds between the descendants of the Callions and Gallions had reemerged after three centuries. Nearly four centuries ago the Mestran Empire had invaded the northern lands known as Gaeleth, and it was easy for Mestra to march in when the two largest kingdoms Callia and Gall were at war with each other. Now Four centuries later it seemed like history had repeated itself, except that Mestra was invading but it had moved in thousands of troops into the country, and ironically enough a third faction of citizens of Cal Gallia were staying out of the civil war and siding with Mestra.

In I'balan the last surviving member of the Cal Gallian royal family lay in a coma. Her radiation poisoning was severe, but the doctors who had induced her coma, had given her a 60% chance of surviving. A chance that Alexander was willing to bet on, and so he had mobilized large amounts of his military to enter Cal Gallia in order to provide stability when the Princess awoke. Alexander had kept the Princess survival hidden for fear the SoT would make an attempt on her life, and while the Civil War raged on in Cal Gallia. Quietly Mestra gained support for the Princess.



The matter of Castilis

The situation was getting precarious and military intervention may be needed to secure the country, but the question raging through the Senate and Parliament was whether Mestra should send in troops.

"We cannot continously send soldiers into sovereign nations. The very fact that the Emperor is willing to do such an act is appalling. What does he want us to do return to the times of the Bloody Rage??"

The Parliament was in an uproar over their fellow members comments. The Blood Rage, was a dark stain on Mestran history and the very thought of it being repeated was blood chilling.

"You must remember, honorable gentleman, that the Charter of the Nation's Commonwealth provided for mutual defense. It is quite clear that this very notion is what the Emperor is acting on."

"Then please explain why we are sending an entire fleet to the Lemurian Islands. They were not a member of the Commonwealth, and as we can clearly see just 8 miles east of here, the Commonwealth is no more."

The commotion was interrupted by a staff worker who delivered a message to the Prime Minister.

"Members of the Parliament, be it known that the Emperor has ordered military action against the tyrannical leader of the Castillian Regime."

So Mestra was going to Castilis in force.

So the tally was set, Mestran forces were in Cal Gallia, Zanvuer, and heading to Castilis and Lemurian Islands. The stage was set, it was about time for the Soldiers of Truth to reveal themselves for what they truly were.

Three Weeks After The Attack

Chancellor Alabaster sat in his office, massaging his temples while staring down at the papers on his desk. Although better then before, the people of Rogue Shadows were naturally very frightened Unsure of how to act based on recent events, he decided to inquire.

He decided it would be best to send a message to Alexander:
"Dear Alexander,
You seem to be handling things very well. I hope that the aide and manpower I sent have been useful to you. I am unsure of what to do now. What are your plans, and do you require assistance?

Best regards,
Chancellor Steven Alabaster"

Castilis
3 weeks after the Attack

Regent Weir had begun to notice the large amount of Mestran troops swarming around the region in paticulally the former member nations of the commonwealth and realised it was only a matter of time before they came for Castilis and his head.

Weir believed he would of had more time to implenment his plans for Castilis mainly rapid expansion and heavy militarisation of castilis. The SoT no even Ralphael Montaro assured him that the mestran's would be too weak and over expanded trying to deal with the more mainland members to deal with the kingdom.

Not only did Weir have the Mestrans to worry about but the Border Noblity who have started to rebel mainly in the councils but now these rural Knights who have started to gather men and weapons in order to other throw this Flase Regent.

The cities were still heavily under Weir's control thanks to the pressence of the military but Weir was noticing a shift in the mood of some the dukes that controlled the cities as well. He would have to have them purged from their position and replaced by someone more capable and trust worthy.

Weir was still strong of couse with the Castilian Military but the commanders of some of the regiments were also beguining to doubt his leadership. However if Mestra did invade Weir would have the entire backing of the Castilian Military and the only thing that could change that would have to be reapperance of the King.

Weir was safe in one fact the king hasn't been found or escaped his hands yet therefore the chances of the entire Kingdom turning against him were slim. All Weir had to do was keep the king secure and deal with rural noblity as long as he handled the Castilian military would happy support him in a war against Mestra if it came to that.

It had weeks since Charles had seen the light of day in the damp dark cell where he being kept. His clothes were starting to become ragged and torn, the hours ticked passed slowly for him. The only highlight of his day was the one square meal he recieved which barely passed a gruel.

Charles was beguining to lose hope, did his own nation stop looking for him. Was a ransom not paid. What would happen next Charles had no idea but he needed to get out, he couldn't stay for much longer not in this place. If he did Charles had a feeling he would lose himself in the darkness of his cell.
