The man stood up and started walking towards the balcony. He leaned on the rail, and looked down. His age was undefined, he looked like a forty-year-old, yet he seemed to be as strong and healthy as a twenty-year-old. His hair was pure black, his skin was deathly pale and his eyes were like deep, endless, holes.
As he stared at the dark gardens around the great castle, he smiled. Down there, he could see the soldiers, his puppets. The man knew that these soldiers would fight against any enemy, no matter how powerful it was, no matter how little the possibilities of winning were, if he told them to, they would fight. Why? Because they had no choice. As this idea came to his mind, he grinned.
He extended his mind, and reached out to each of the castle's corners. It was just a habit; he knew that nobody, not even a dragon rider, would be able to get into his castle's grounds. He knew either the blue dragon rider or the elves would be coming soon, he also knew what they would be looking for. He turned around and looked at the egg; it was a dark emerald green in color, with lighter green veins running through it. It seemed to glow in the dim light of the room. The man stroked it absentmindedly.
"What a pity you can't choose whom you'll hatch for, but it's for the greater good, my dear dragon." he said.
Then, someone knocked the door. "Come in. " he said, angry that someone would even dare come to disturb him. If it wasn't something important, he would make sure they wished they had never been born.
" My King, we've had some reports of a strange presence inside the city. We haven't been able to identify it. What should we do?"
