ok ppl i have benn having too many projects to be able to update this often so plz dont kill me.

The entire council was silent. All eyes were on Aboshan.

"So, what are we going to do" asked Orius.

"We shall do all three" announced Aboshan. this statement made the entire burst into whispers. (srry this is my first fic so work with me here)

the first to speak was one of the cephalid retainers from the province of Nimori. These were cephalid that lived in the deepest part of the cephalid empire.

"As much as we would want this to happen, we do not have the man power or the resources to defend or fortify Ioneck."

Then the retainer that controlled the area of Ioneck responded.

"FOOL!!, don't you know that if we lose Ioneck, the entire empire may fall along with it."

After a couple minutes of arguing, Aboshan restored order within the council.

"As I said, we will be doing all three."

"But why" asked one of the younger cephalid asked.

"Because if we do we might be able to hold the city with what we have to see if we can hold on to the city until we can get reinforcements, also if we evacuate, we won't have any civillian casuallities. Finally, if we try to bring up the tides we may be able to save our own capital city of Ioneck."

how did you like it? well if you don't then wait for chapter four because the next chapter is "The fortification of Ioneck" but it will make a little more sense if you actually read it though. well i guess that's it oh yeah before i forget R&R PLZ!!!!!!!!.
