PRELUDE----
1163...the period of Burn's Sleep....
Good King Kellanved has requested the presence of his companions, warriors and advisers in his throne room....
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/War%20Drums/DSC02162-1.jpg)
...his brother, Dujek Oneeye, his City Steward dressed in green Kallor, the Captain of the City Guard bearing the Fluer-de-lis symbol Karnavas, and the Captain of the Palace Guard Paran...
This is an important display of power as the King is about to ''welcome'' a visit from Korbal Broach, a Malevolent Duke who always stirs up trouble in the realm ....
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/War%20Drums/DSC02163-1.jpg)
The Duke, always accompanied by his two loyal body guards, has come to bring another message of hostility and invoke troubles that can only be solved by the sword...His most important allies, those who want a piece of the pie, are also with him...
His cousin the Baron, Inal a Septarch of the Horned Pannion Domin, and Mathok the Steward of the Gold Dragon.... and the leader of his army Logros, a knight who has fallen from the grace of his Order....

''What brings you again before me Korbal? Haven't you learned a lesson a few years ago when you tried to overrun this Kingdom with your mercenary army?''
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/War%20Drums/DSC02164-1.jpg)
''Ah...my...'good' king.... I only come before you to extend my hand in friendship''...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/War%20Drums/DSC02165-1.jpg)
''As you can see I have allies that have joined my....cause... No need to introduce them to you as you already know them and their bitterness that your rule has caused them...We are only here to a ask that you join our cause too...allow this city, lands and kingdom to enter our alliance and you will see that ruling alone is not in the best interest of you...''
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/War%20Drums/DSC02166-1.jpg)
''I do not rule alone Korbal...you of all should know better... And each one of these allies of yours have tried to cause harm to our lands and kingdom so many times in the past... You will get no friendship from me but as long as you stand clear of causing trouble, I will not trouble you either...''
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/War%20Drums/DSC02169-1.jpg)
''How dare you accuse us of of being hostile towards you? Is this the way to treat guest? Is this the way to respond to a good gesture of friendship? By all the rulers that have come before you, I will bring you down from that throne...If its the last think I'll do..... Come on my friends...lets leave this delusioned ruler to his misery...we'll meet again with him...''
''Korbal...'' shouted the good king calmly and confidently ''I swear to my friends, allies and to the people I rule that if you drag these men to another mischief of yours, you'll really understand what true friendship can do and be!''
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/War%20Drums/DSC02171-1.jpg)
''Was that wise my brother?'' Dujek asked the king ''You of all people should know him better my brother...He was your best friend...and did this to you (pointing towards the missing eye) because he thought you were unworthy to marry your wife...No, its in the best interest of all that he remains where he is...If he causes trouble again, we have more allies than he thinks...''
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/War%20Drums/DSC02174-1.jpg)

Later that same night...
The council chambers where King Kellanved and his allies discuss and plan all their policies for the good people of the city and the realm...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/War%20Drums/DSC02175-1.jpg)
Too many important documents are held here... that is why only the Captain of the Palace Guard, a man who has proven his loyalty and strong character, holds the key to this room.
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/War%20Drums/DSC02176-1.jpg)
There is no way of getting into the chamber as there is only one door to be used and it is guarded well day and night.... or is there....?
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/War%20Drums/DSC02177-1.jpg)
Baaljakk finds his way easily through the shadows and darkness...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/War%20Drums/DSC02179-1.jpg)
...and carefully searches for what he is looking for...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/War%20Drums/DSC02180-1.jpg)
...until he finds it...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/War%20Drums/DSC02181-1.jpg)
...and takes it with him...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/War%20Drums/DSC02182-1.jpg)
...as he takes his leave...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/War%20Drums/DSC02183-1.jpg)
...and becomes one with the shadows again...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/War%20Drums/DSC02184-1.jpg)
-
The chamber is opened by the Captain every hour to be checked...two Palace Guards enter for a look out...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/War%20Drums/DSC02185-1.jpg)
and the Captain follows only to realise that the most important document on the table is missing!!!!! :omg: ''GUARDS..... quickly, summon the king.... NOW!!!
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/War%20Drums/DSC02187-1.jpg)
A guard makes haste toward's the king's chambers...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/War%20Drums/DSC02189-1.jpg)
...and returns with the king.... ''My Lord...'' the Captain greets him with an anxiety in his voice ''the defences plan....its gone..''
''WHAT? How can that be? Who got into the chambers all this time?'' ''Noone my Lord. It was here in the last hour...now its gone..I had two guards outside all the time and the key with me as always...'' This is indeed very disturbing...terrible and ill news....''
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/War%20Drums/DSC02190-1.jpg)
''This is Korbal's doing, I am certain... He has become more dangerous than I imagined... Dujek...'' the king turned to his brother ''I must leave at once to rally our allies!!! You'll be in charge while I'm gone... Captain, tell your men not to say a word about this for the time being...'' ''My King they are Loyal to you, they won't.'' ''Summon Tanakalian and his men along with my Champion, Dassem... we are leaving at the first sunlight...no time to waste...''

It does take a while.... Im still writing my story. I shooted all saturday. But the writting is hard. Things sound better in Spanish for me.... and easier. :lol: :lol:
Btw this story has anything to do with Gis' tournament? or nothing at all? ???

No not at all.. only one character from this story will be appearing in Gis' tournament, and we have not seen him yet ;) !!!

I wanna know where the secret passage is. I watch too much zorro. ;D

@ Gaston: Come to think of it, writing is not so hard. I've read countless stories and fantasy books, and although it is impossible to remember all of them, or any detail of them, I always tend to remeber a good idea or a great detail, and try to work it out more... Plus, i tend to work a story in my mind day, after day, after day and repeat it to myself sometimes loudly...It sounds scary :uhoh:
Preparing the diorama and placing all the details, although fun, is tiresome for me, mainly because of the lack of space in my appartment... If I set up something it will take a lot of space and I'll have to dismantle it quickly because, nomatter how I love to see it, it gets in the way... Not to mention I need room to search for what I need and its not always easy...
@Bonnie...sorry, the the Bacave, or the Fox's Lair if you prefer, will not be part of this story...at least as I planned it thus far... But I am always happy to improvise... ;)

Cool story shaping up here Wolf Knight. Love the pics too, especially when that dude is creeping out of the shadows. Awesome! ;D :wave:
