To he who would call himself Emperor,
The College of Uvdarren is, and always has been, a private institution, and so long as members of the College still live, it will continue to operate independently. The College's knowledge is a privilege, bestowed upon those worthy of it, and all who seek it are beholden to the same standards and entry requirements, be they of high birth or not. I, and the College's teachers, have no obligation to enlighten outsiders. We are not at your beck and call; if you, or anyone else, wishes to speak with the College's leadership, you, like all others, are required to either pass the entrance examinations or get an explicit invitation from the College recognizing past scientific and academic accomplishments. The College is far too busy with real research and study to be bothered to care about your conflict with a few savages in the gods-forsaken wasteland you wish to conquer.
I refuse your joke of an invitation. Our information isn't freely given to anyone, regardless of their political status, aristocratic titles, or wealth. If you truly expected me, or any other servant of the Lord of Knowledge for that matter, to blindly do your bidding, with our well-known enemies, the imperial inquisitors, being in charge of our "safety," then you were absolutely mistaken. Perhaps if you were to start treating the followers of Lord Uvdarr with a little more respect, and end your ridiculous inquisition, I would be a bit more inclined to consider granting you an audience, but until that day comes, you will not be considered a welcome guest of the College, and neither I nor any other member of the College will even consider giving you our valuable time.
Mora Tharatha, Champion of Uvdarr, and the Great Keeper of Knowledge

The Flame Dawn wrote:"Sister," a young man shouted as he chased after a carriage with an escort of horsemen from the local garrison. The carriage was made of a finely polished wood with jade laced along the edges and clay tiles covering the roof. It was being pulled by 2 horses and around a dozen horsemen, wearing scale armor and wielding spears were located at the sides and rear of the carriage.
"Stop the carriage," the man shouted, the carriage stopped as he frantically made his way to the door, the silhouette of a young woman could be seen through the paper screen. The man opened the door and sat down across from the woman, she was dressed in an elegant silk kimono. The man who barged in was dressed similarly, with a silk Hakama and a sword strapped to his side.
"So how is it outside dear brother," the woman said in a cheerful, though teasing tone, she had a hand fan open which covered her mouth though her eyes gleamed with playful youth.
"It was pleasant outside, but I would have enjoyed it more without the running," her brother replied flatly as he began to fix his hair, a hair pin was beginning to slip out of his chonmage, "you should be lucky there hasn't been rain recently or else we would have looked unpresentable to the others."
"I," his sister quickly corrected him, she couldn't help but giggle as her brother sighed.
"Well regardless, it would have ruined our name," he said, still not amused by her actions.
The carriage ride was cloaked in silence as the two of them made their way to the capital city. The two of them made their way to the palace and were eagerly greeted by a servant girl.
"Greetings oh beautiful Lady Eclesh Maplos and fearless Lord Hidesuke Maplos," the servant girl said with a bow as she elegantly moved her arms to point towards the palace, "various Lords and Ladies have already gathered."
"Thank you," the two siblings said in unison, though Hidesuke was quick to begin the walk to the palace.
"Please take this as a token of my appreciation," Eclesh said as soon as her brother was out of sight as she handed the girl some copper coins and a silver coin.
The girl was at a lose for words as Eclesh walked off, she bowed deeply and gave her a silent prayer of prosperity and health.

A row of horses traveled along the dusty dirt road leading to the capital city. Twenty horses to be exact, expensive pure bred horses that most normal people wouldn't have a hope of buying anytime in their lifetime. The men who rode these horses wore expensive Armour with a certain crest em-blazed on the front of the Armour and on their shield's. One could tell that these men had seen combat at one time or another. They wore expression's of pride and honor, one's only a warrior would dare wield in public. However one man didn't wear this expression, and yet he was virtually the same as all the other men. Had a pure bred horse, fine Armour and a powerful sword sheathed at his hip. And yet his expression was so much more different from his companions. It was the man in the front of the line, his expression wasn't one of superiority or honor. No he sported the expression one would expect to see on a visionary, someone who wanted to change the world. As they passed a small crowd of peasants and artisans had gathered. Some threw arrogant nasty look's at the men, unable to realize that these were the men who had guaranteed the would live free, that they wouldn't be absorbed into some Empire or Dynasty. Some others noticed the first man and gave him apologetic smile's and happy waves. No matter who you were, this was certainly an odd sight. Noble's rode in carriages, they didn't ride horses in plain view. Marcus gave a gentle movement of his arm in a whipping motion, telling the horse to speed up. Seeing their lord speed up the other men followed suit.
Soon the twenty horses were pounding closer and closer to the capital of the Kingdom. Bypassing hungry merchants and angry townsfolk. One man was being whipped for stealing bread. The whole sight horrified him, these were his people. These were his brother's and sister's, his elders and young one's. They were hungry and that was plain as the day. Still nothing he could do now, he had to meet with his queen soon. The Queen of the kingdom, the last of her line. She was extremely important, her life had to preserved no matter what. Without her the nation would fall apart in brutal infighting between the numerous noble group's. And she had her own problem's, people wanted him dead and he was a war hero, she was the leader of a starving nation and her life would be threatened anytime she was in public. Soon they approached the capital's gate. Once they had passed by the guard's he dismounted his horse, walking until they reached the building that held the Queen and her subject's. He expected some sort of greeting at the door's, however no one seemed to be there for him to greet. Hesitantly he pushed open the door and entered the building.

Emperor's Palace
Captain Varik had just arrived at the palace, he had been visiting his family when he had received the news to report to the palace. He walked down the steps to the ground floor of the wyvern stables. Once he landed, the stable hands quickly went to work on removing the newest set of wyvern armor. This armor covered the upper parts of the body and added armor to the tail with several spikes on the end. Varik was excited to try this new armor in combat, over the last several years, the armor had improved as well as wyvern-wyvern combat. He walked out of the stables and walked closer to the palace. When he bumped into Lady Eclesh. "Oh, sorry lady Eclesh, I am in a hurry the Royal Wyvern Wings have been called to the palace for some reason. Now if you will excuse me." Informed Varik as he continued his way to the palace. He couldn't deny it though, lady Eslesh was attractive, but also a noble of high standing. Once he arrived at the palace he entered the room where the meeting was going to be held. "I am the last to arrive or well the last of the leadership to arrive my Emperor" Informed Varik as he bowed tot he Emperor and waited for him to announce why they had been called. But he had a feeling that it was going to be something about the north. No mans land as they called it, it seemed to fit the part after all it was nomadic tribes that lived there anyway.
