Horns sounded though the stress and the main gate was opened. Another haul was being brought in, instead of the typical one large and small monster, two large and three small were brough in on multiple carts pulled by stronger horses. The king would be pleased. The captain of the squad trotted at the front, his head held high, revelling in the smiles of the citizens. Anything to feed them. That's what Alexander wanted b not to mention, Barok had to follow orders, or it would be his head. B

As soon as they entered the storage area, Barok ran thick, gloved fingers through his jet black hair. He had originally came from the Carroway, trained to be an assassin, yet he didn't agree with their motives. So he left. The young king was understanding, omg to welcome the rebel, and Barok grew worshipping Mother Polaris, praying for good life for himself and others. Two children to feed wasn't always the easiest.

"Someone go tell the butchers. There's enough meat to feed the whole town for a few nights, a guarantee it." They could almost hear the happiness in his voice. In just a few hours, he'd be going home, kissing his wife and wrestling around with his two boys. But now was the time for business. Dishing out more instructions, Barok made his way to the throne room, only to kneel down in front of the man who attempts to bring the four nations together.

"King Alexander. Wonderful news."

Alexander, rather sitting on his throne, was standing below the platform the chair itself resting on. Instead Alexander was dressed in bright white causal clothing unfitting for a king. He stood before a Canvas with a palette and paint brush in hand. Behind his Canvas was a beautiful but muscular naked woman laying down on a stone platform with a longsword clutched around her arm and eating hanging fruit she holds above her mouth. On Alexander's canvas the painting was nearly completed and looked amazing. "A gift to the duchess of Fortitudo. Representing the strength and majesty of her city." Alexander speaks to Barok. "Arise Barok and ma'm, I thank you for your assistance. I have what I need. Your excused." Alexander says and the naked model stands up, gives a bow, then leaves. Alexander sets his painting tools down on a luxurious small table beside him then examines his painting. "Before moving onto business do you believe my work is appropriate? This IS for a woman ruling a city-state of amazonian women were talking about." Alex asks Borak.

Barok said nothing as he watched with curious eyes. It wasn't anything different that his king was doing, just simply one of his main hobbies. He watched diligently as the king flicked his brush across the canvass, stained with blues and greens, mixed greys and black in there as well. It was vivid, complete, fit for the duchess of Fortitude. When spoken to, he rose, his head bowed slightly as he waited for his king to be done with his business with his model.

His dark eyes scanned the painting when Alexander asked him, and he nodded enthusiastically. "It's perfect, your majesty. Suited wonderfully for her." There really wasn't much more that he could say on the subject, that the woman was gorgeous.

The girl who modeled for him rises up, turning and sliding a long tunic on over her slender frame. It is embroidered with the Polaran symbol. Erica, as her name happened to be, turned around, placing the sword into a sheath along a belt she looped over her shoulder. She found it weird that Alexander would ask this of one of his own soldiers, but she was his subject and would not complain or question. It was honestly quite the compliment for him to ask her to be a portrait, especially a gift for someone so notable. Thankfully his majesty thought of the brilliant idea for using the sword to cover a scar that ink would not. He always had the answer like that, what would have ruined the portrait for another was just a trivial issue to swat away to Alexander. It was truly amazing. Erica was an officer in his majesty's army. She had worked her way up over the years, and her ddetermination was fierce to advance further.

"Is Mrs. Erica clothed, sire?" A faint and small voice peeped through the smallest crack in the door. It was unmistakably the voice of young Isaac, who shared an officer rank with Erica. Some particularly cruel soldiers decided to force him into a leadership role, as he was taking the attention of higher ups by being so young and a soldier. But when he exceeded any and all expectations by surviving and leading his strike team to victory, he was promoted to a permanent role. He is still very timid, but he is considered a prodigy. With the right training, he could turn out to be a military genius. His obviously shorter reach and power is made up for with speed, endurance, and wit.

"Excellent!" Alexander says with faintest touch of joy as he waves over to the observing servants to carry the painting away and ready it for transport. "Yes Issac you are free to enter." Alex gently spoke out towards the cracked open door and Erica entered the throne room. "Was an odd request I know but I really must thank you Erica. Of all my soldier's I couldn't think of any other that is such a beautiful warrior as yourself." Alex spoke with a small smile as he humbly bowed to Erica. "I haven't lived this deep into Polaris for most of my life and I have been feeling quite caged up in this castle of mine. The bitter cold of outside does not agree with me." Alexander speaks as he walks over to his throne and takes a seat. He waves his arm gracefully before him and Barok, Issac, and Erica all stand before his throne on the steps leading to the chair itself. "Tell me of this wonderful news Barok?" Alexander asks while he pores himself a glass of wine.

Isaac grins and runs in, waving at his ranking equal (Erica) until stopping several paces before the throne. Erica, on the other hand, blushes at the kings words. It was rare to get her to do something like that, but the king was known for making miracles happen. "I, uh, thank you sire. I am just happy to help you out, and make your time here more enjoyable. I just hope that the duchess shall enjoy the painting. I am merely a soldier, not a model." She tries to speak in a reserved tone but falters. This whole situation was very weird to her, but she felt honored all the while. Isaac cheerfully awaits Barok's news, swinging back and forth. "Maybe you could go to the capitol for a chance to get out, sir." Isaac remarked as they all moved up to hear the news. Isaac was timid to most, especially when put into his recent position, but he was always able to talk to his majesty in a cheerful manner. Something about Alexander's grandeur just calmed him down and made him feel more like the child he was then the warrior he was.

Barok stepped up when addressed once more, and he bowed his head in honour, coming back up with a smile on his face. "We've brought in twice the normal haul in food and skins, Lord. I should like to think that we would be set for the next week." Truly the good King would be happy to hear this, and if he wasn't....Barok didn't know what he was going to do, but it was going to be sheer disappointment for him and his men. They had all worked so hard for this, being done even a day longer than they were supposed to due to a sudden blizzard.

"And this is why I promoted you to lead a platoon of my finest knights. You should be proud!" Alexander spoke with a faint smile then drank from his glass. "Good work captain. By my word see it to that your men's equipment is properly repairs and rewarded for their hard work. It's the least you deserve." Alexander says while staring into his glass, twirling the wine around before setting it down bored of it. 'In fact Barok... I'd like you to take me on your next hunt. I grow tired of this stone cage and mountains of paper work. I need some excitement in my life." Alexander speaks as he rises from his throne and walks down the steps leading towards Borak. "Issac and Erica. You two are invited to come along and fight at my side. More the merrier! What do you say Borak?" Alexander asks.

His heart swelled at the praise, and a slight flush of happiness came to his face as the king addressed him. When asked, he nodded vigoursly, his eyes wife's with excitement. "Of course, M'lord! We would be extremely honoured of you would join us. We plan to leave within the next few days. I will come back with an exact date, he informed the king, before he bowed again.
