* Bowing low to the ground in deep respect to the king was Mamoru, speaking in a
humble, yet mischievous, voice. "Your Majesty, I am Mamoru Darkheart, one of your faithful
citizens."

One of the guards grabbed the ID that Mamoru held out from himself and presented it to
the king. "You have permission to speak," the king boomed.

"I have requested the right to speak to inform you of critical news I've obtained. I've
proof in the form of written documents that the king of Laskar is planning to break the peace
treaties between our two countries and go to war. They plan to start war at a time when you'd
least expect it."

This time, Mamoru pulled out the documents that he had forged and passed them to the
guards. They brought them to the king who took them with a look of disbelief on his face. The
king looked over the papers becoming more and more shocked.

The papers were made for the purpose of documentation of what Laskar planned to do.
They were going to purposefully go against the peace treaties, and when the time was right, they
would sneak an attack against Scanra and the next day declare war. It told in detail everything
they'd do and every move they'd make. "How did you come upon these documents?" the king
demanded.

"Well your highness," Mamoru began his answer. He hadn't thought the king would be
intelligent enough to ask the source of his papers. He'd just have to make something up on the
spur of the moment. He could do it. Lying was one of his best qualities. "I was at the Laskar
capital market. I was there to purchase some food they have that our country does not produce. I
go there for that purchase every year about this time and stock up for winter. Anyway, I was
there to get the food when I saw 3 men wearing bright, flashy clothing. They looked too
important to be the type of people who would come down to the market. With all the money they
were wearing, you know they would have had a servant by their items not themselves. That
made me suspicious. Then I discovered there was another person in there group, a person
dressed as a beggar. I knew they were up to something, so I crept over there. I overheard them
speak of war with our country, Scanra. One of the finely dressed persons handed something in a
folder to the beggar. The group broke apart and all went their separate ways. I followed the one
who was given the folder. When it was just the guy and myself, my presence unknown to him, in
the area, I approached the person. He ended up starting a fight with myself and I won, to say the
least. I took the documents and read them over, shocked at my findings. I mounted my horse and
rode here, planning to do my winter shopping later. Getting these papers to you was much more
urgent than making my purchase."

The king smiled at the dark haired man still kneeling before him, "You may rise. You
have proven the authenticity of these documents. I personally would like to thank you for putting
your country first and bringing these papers to me the moment you discovered them. Please stay
and follow me to the Conference Room where we will discuss all else you know."

"Thank you, your highness. I would love to," Mamoru declared and followed him out of
the throne room and down a long lowly lit corridor. He was very pleased with himself. Things
were almost ready for his plan to be completely set into motion. Almost there.... Just a little bit
further....

Walking to the lake, Usagi checked the wooden poles she made for fishing. She saw the
pole suddenly become weighed down and jerked. Knowing a fish had hooked her line, she
clutched the pole and yanked hard. The line flew out of the water and hooked on the end were
two fish. Odd, in her opinion. Oh well. Who was she to argue. It just meant twice as much food
for one piece of bait.

Walking back to her new home with her catch, she dropped off the food and left to check
the rest of the traps.

At the end of the day she was pleased to have caught 5 fish, one being too small so she
threw it back in leaving 4 takeable fish, 2 squirrel, 1 bird which she had caught by knocking it
unconscience with a good sized stone, and 2 rabbit using her bow and arrow.

She fell asleep that night knowing full well that winter was on its way, but drawing
comfort on the idea that her food supply was steadily building and she had a sheltered place to
live. Life wouldn't be so bad, as long as she never became discovered.

Mamoru and the king sat together with a couple other officials at the long mahogany oval
shaped table inside the Conference Room. "Okay, lets get down to business," one of the officials
declared, obviously of higher position than the other official.

"Well, I've got other information you would likely want to know, but there's something I
would like to ask first. What will I obtain in exchange for my information you so obviously
desire?"

The king answered by asking a question of his own, "What is it that you would what?
Gold? Silver? Jewelry or stones? Land? Or even my eldest daughters hand?"

"Gold and silver, yes. And a yes to land, also. All others, no. But there is one more thing I
desire."

"What more could you possibly want that I have not offered?"

"I want to continue doing what I have been doing to get you this information, spy. I want
to be your spy, yours and our countries. And I want the pay of a spy. Don't deny it, I know you
already have an abundance of spies that do all you ask, and I know what they are payed. For my
services I request the same amount of pay. Now, before you deny me, let me say I know of all
the spies in the Laskar capital, and they aren't as good as I, for I'm the only one whose has had
the skill and expertise to attain what I have."

"You're correct. None of the others have gotten a hold of what you have, and you know
of their existence in the first place. You've proven yourself worthy of being my spy. If you have
no objections, I'd like to make you head of all my spies."

"That would please me very much. Getting back to the matter at hand, I think you should
declare war on Laskar. You'll catch them off guard. I know for a fact that they have many riches
in many forms, gold, silver, art, jewelry, you name it. There land is very good, some of the best
soil known to man. And most importantly, they are militarily weak. They haven't had the chance
to build up there armies, for they aren't far enough along with their plans. Primarily considering
that last reason, but also the ones before it, now's the time to attack. Don't wait until they have
the armies to attack and yourself being pushed into defense. Attack now and the tables will be
turned. They'll be the ones taken by surprise and forced into defense, and you'll be offence, with
the land you want to take at your picking."

"I like the sound off that. What an opportunity." The king embarked on a journey into his
own thoughts until a cough was heard, snapping him back into reality. "John, go get the war
master and tell him I personally request his immediate attendance at this meeting."

"Yes, your lordship," he vocalized, and hastily left his room to search out the war master.

"Mamoru, I'll be glad to make you head spy. Jake, go get the documents needed to sign
Mamoru up as my spy and a card showing his place as head of my spy network."

"Right away, Sire."

Mamoru and the King were the only two left in the room. Working together, they formed
a document keeping track of all the things he was to keep an eye on. They made two copies, one
for each.


Jake returned with the papers for Mamoru to sign. After reading them, Mamoru signed
showing his obedience and acknowledgment to what it said. He was given his card, which he
filed away in his pack, along with the other documents. Just then, the war master stepped into
the room with John in tow, and bowed to the king.

"I'll take my leave. I've got my assignments to fulfill, and I hate procrastination."

"Thank you for all you've helped us with, Mamoru. I look forward to reading all you've
discovered in the weeks to come. Here, before you leave," the king reached into his purse and
pulled out a worn out looking cloth bag and tossed it to Mamoru, who caught it. "Your first
payment."

Mamoru nodded and exited the room. As he walked back to his horse, he was again
pleased with himself and all he's accomplished. Things were now fully set into motion. Nothing
can stop what he has started, and nothing will ever be able to stop all the havoc he will wreak.
