Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tolly sighed; Yeah it may be over, but I need to go in and fix the room yet. A simple spell, but their hour has long been up. So be patient, and together we'll go talk to yumiru."

Tolly opened the door again, and looked at the scene. "I don't need to remind you that if this happens again I won't be so nice in my handling. Consider us even on Yumiru, and i don't think this is very nice quaters so let me spruce things up again shall i." Tolly drew the symbols on the floor and closed the doors as things began to repair themselves. The room putting itself back together. The matress picking it self up and settling down on the rebuilt frame, the sheets and blankets appearing under and over hamlin and Iris.

Tolly took Yami's hand; "Well that should do it, i think we need to go and see Yumiru now."

Lord General Auren Shiro stood within his inner sanctuary, staring at a map of Esperanza, with a battered and tattered map of the Midnight Throne. Two armored Wyvern Guard stood outside, monitoring a few spells put into place to protect against scrying and clairvoyance.

He regarded it and scratched his chin while the four Captains of the Wyverns met with him. "Domachi, I think, bought my insanity hook line and sinker." The General mused.

"Oh?"

"Well, when one comes in looking like your dead half dragon son and can't speak plainly..." The General grinned.

"Fair enough, sir. So what's the plan?" The 3rd Wing Captain asked. "Well, we goad the Kasidians into engaging Domachi, and if my predictions are accurate, they'll throw their arms up in exasperation, and put up a Shield Spell around Domachi. It's effectively impenetrable. You can go in but not go out. It'll feed off of spells you fling at it, including ones that break enchantments. Kinda hard to disenchant when it eats your spell energy. Meanwhile, the Midnight Throne has enough local support and troops in Esperanza to ensure that the Philosphers who put up the shield will be unmolested for the most part. You think we're good at taking down Dragons? The elite Wyvern Knights make us look like amateurs. We're damn good, even by their standards but we're not much of a match in terms of squadron tactics. Fifteen man deployments to our five. Three to one odds are ugly at best."

Auren paced. "On the other hand, on a man to man basis, we could take them. It wouldn't be pretty on either side buut! If we don't have to deal with them, that would be the best. The Kasidians will need every wyvern knight they got to deal with Domachi. Which is where you come in. Hound their infantry units, and base yourselves in Domachi. Make it look like you're coming in from that area... and hammer their infantry. Clear out when you see the enemy wyverns show up. Meanwhile, that'll divert attention from me making my way to the Midnight Throne, and if my royal house still exists there... I'll be on the fast track to Emperor."

"Woah, world domination, sir?"

"Blame Laos." Auren grinned. "'Sides, if I ran the damn world, stuff like this wouldn't happen, no?"

The Captains chuckled. "Maybe so, sir, but I feel like we might get sacrificed for your ambition."

Auren winced. "It may come to that, yes. However, we'll survive. No one has penetrated our Nest yet, and most likely never will. Which is why I'm deploying us so. The First Wing is staying here. The Nest will need your Wing's skill to train future generations. Second Wing is deploying to Esperanza, to get in contact with the locals and figure out where to do the most 'good.' Third and Fourth Wings. You'll deploy to Domachi to goad them into attacking it. When they do, clear out so you don't get stuck in the shield. Are your orders clear?"

The Four captains chorused "Yes Sir!"

"Good. Tommorow, begins hopefully our new chapter in history. To that end... I'll need to shed this form. Good luck to you gentlemen. Keep in touch."
