A Try for Peace
Discalimaer: For all those who don't get the picture, I DON'T OWN TALES!
After the company saw the horrific scene before them they knew they were the only ones that could stop it. The group decided to split up. Martel and Yuan went to the Elven castle and Mithos went with Kratos to the human castle.
Martel and Yuan arrived first and asked to see the king.
"No one is allowed to enter. NO ONE!" replied the sentry at the door.
Yuan yelled back, "This whole thing is about the war so why won't you let us in. We have news to give the king about the battle."
"Fine," said the guard reluctantly, "but only for ten minutes."
"That will be long enough." said Martel.
Kratos and Mithos reached their destination shortly after the other group did, but didn't have the same amount of luck.
"If you won't let us in, I swear I will kill you." shouted an angry Mithos.
And the fight was on. Kratos easily took out the left guard with a series of quick stabs. Mithos on the other hand was not doing as well. Mithos had to run around to find a good spot to cast his magic. He finally got fed up with it and cast a quick fireball which leveled the chasing guard. Mithos was amazed at the power of his simplest spell. It took out one of the king's best soldiers. As the sentry fell to the ground Kratos burst down the door and ran to the throne room with Mithos on his heels. When they got there the king and queen were waiting for them with about 50 guards. They had heard the battle outside and prepared for the worst.
Yuan and Martel pleaded with the king of the elves to stop all of the senseless fighting.
"There is no need anymore. We brought back the prisoners and it wasn't the humans who took them either." Martel confided in the king.
"That doesn't matter anymore," the king quietly responded, "the humans are after all our magitechnology and they don't even care that their people were gone."
Horrified Martel and Yuan left the king's presence and went to see if Mithos and Kratos had better luck.
The last sentry fell to the ground with a gaping hole in his shoulder and immense pain surging through him. As Mithos and Kratos walked up to the king the queen ran to see if she could rally together more troops.
"Why won't you take our advice and end this war before innocent people get hurt?" Mithos yelled in the king's face.
"Yeah, and why didn't you stop the war after your people from the burned down village returned." replied Kratos.
"We have enough people in this country to help our cause, but the elves will try and take us over if we do nothing to stop the growth of magitechnology." The king answered sincerely.
"If you do nothing to stop the war now then I will be forced to stop it myself. You may not like that outcome so I suggest you look over my proposition carefully." was Mithos' remarks.
As the two warriors left the throne room they heard distant clattering of armor getting closer and closer to where they stood. The two companions decided to split up and search for answers in the castle and as to not get caught. As Kratos was looking about he saw the note that was left at the entrance to the human city which was burned. He read the note and immediately took off down the hallway to find Mithos.
When Mithos was found they both darted out of the castle and Kratos told about everything he saw. Mithos was also astonished, and realizing what this meant, he gave up on trying to end the war with friendly persuasion, but now this war was personal.
