Me: this is my new story!! Zachary: Yeah and she now has BOTH George and I to torture. Me: I don't torture you two!! Zachary: yeah and I'm not the king of Sacoridia Me: oh shut up…and besides if you're mad about the itching powder that wasn't me. Zachary: oh yeah than who was it?! Me: George. Now if you don't mind to badly shut up for a minute so I can do my disclaimer! Zachary: fine, fine… Me: this is my disclaimer: I own absolutely nothing you recognize. Oh yeah and this is just the prologue

"…and the border is in a much better condition than when we last met your majesty"

King Zachary Hillander was listening to Captain Buerin drone on an on about the Dyer walls defenses when he heard the rider bell. At the moment all his messengers were out on the field, and now he had one of them back.

"Majesty! Rider G'ladheon" shouted Neff the herald as Karigan stumbled into the room.

"Gentlemen we will resume this later..." Zachary said as Karigan approached them "right now I have an urgent need to speak with my rider. You may leave" knowing not to argue with their kind Captain Buerin and the rest of Zachary's counselors who had been there left.

"Your majesty…" mumbled the injured rider.

"Karigan what happened to you?" Zachary asked, extremely worried about the woman in front of him.

"I'm fine" she mumbled, promptly collapsing on the floor. Zachary rushed off to help her.

"GET MASTER DESTARION!" he shouted to no one in general.

"Message…" Karigan whispered "important message…" Zachary took the message satchel from the girl on the floor in front of him.

"Your majesty you sent for…I see rider G'ladheon is back" Master Destarion said upon arriving "we had best get her to the healing wing. BEN" at that Destarion had the woman whisked off to be taken care of, leaving King Zachary to stare after them, wondering if the woman he loved would live the night with the injury's she had.

Me: yes t'was very short but you have to remember it is a PROLOGUE Zachary: you actually managed to portray me in a way that didn't make me look like a total moron! Me: you know if you would read my other story George is a very intelligent character. Now back to what I was saying. Read and review please. If you flame me I'll have Zachary chop off your head like he did to what's his name in the first book. Pie to reviewers!!
