Wait I need this disclaimer-the name Thengal is not mine, but the person with the name is mine…and so is Cadfael…Archon is not mine…but the idea of what he looks like is, and its free for anyone if they say it was from me :-)

Chapter two- first strike

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cadfael stared in disbelief at the man. Had he heard right? "yes" the man said as if reading his mind " I said the resurrection of Archon." Cadfael looked around at the impossible odds. He was in a portion of what he figured was a tunnel, he couldn't see the ceiling of this main chamber. There were at least fifty of the robed men and he couldn't take four and the worst part, the leader had the sword of Aeons.

"Wh-why did you do it?" Cadfael muttered " Why did you kill Neirin and Heather?" Cadfael looked like he could come to tears, but the leader smiled.

"We didn't have to kill them, but they would not turn up there weapons willingly, which are necessary to the resurrection of King Archon and his bodyguard Davion." He exclaimed happily. "With these weapons and the others still out there we will restore The Old Kingdom."

"You fool" Cadfael tried to argue "Trying to restore the old kingdom will bring unnecessary bloodshed, and why bring back the evil King that brought most of Albion's evil forth?"

The leader looked at him with eyes of rage and Cadfael knew he had said something wrong. All the robed man he could see were looking at him with hatred and some had there hands on the hilts of their swords. The archers who had there bows pointed at them now had the arrows pulled back and were so tempted to fire.

"You insolent little spec" the leader spat out. "You shall learn some respect…by Archon himself!"

At those words all the robed men around him stepped far back. The leader then cast the spell enflame, the biggest enflame ever conjured in Cadfael's time, but there was something else different it was a blue flame just as the fire the undead gather around…the underworlds fire.

Just then Cadfael noticed the Flame hitting something. It looked like bones stacked up topped off with a skull. They were a type of Candle and the undead enflame was lighting them. Four all around the leader lit but the fire didn't stay on top of the candles they shot out like arms and grabbed the leader and started to engulf him in the fire.

Soon Cadfael could not see the leader but the outline of him in a giant blue flame, but something was happening the outline was changing. "Could it be?" Cadfael muttered in disbelief. But it was true out of the fire Came a completely different person, plate armor that looked more civilized without the spike and it was silver with parts outlined with black covered a man. He was a tall man, as tall as Neirin the one who killed Jack of Blades, but he looked stronger. On his back and attached to his plate armor was a black cape outlined with red. At his sides under his arms were sheathed combat knifes three under each arm. And at his left side was a beautiful scabbard thrown of by the blade within it, the sword of Aeons. The man had a proud face with fierce eyes he had a normal haircut except it was longer then usual he had jet black hair that matched his dark cape. He was Archon.

All the robed men gasped seeing there king with looks of awe and some with looks of fear. Archon looked around then felt the top of his head realizing there was no crown. "Where am I and why am I not in my castle!" Archon demanded. After a while of silence one of the robed men spoke up. Cadfael recognized his voice as the person who had lead the men to kill Heather. "My lord yo-you are in the Cave of my people have you no memory of the fall of the Old Kingdo…of your Kingdom?" the man asked. Archon looked a little nervous seeing all the armed men not realizing that most men those days were not as strong as his knights.

"I have no memory I feel as if I just woke up, Who are you! And explain yourself' he demanded. " I am Thengal my lord, Your kingdom was destroyed by evil that is in this world now, lesser people rule the world and it is no longer your Kingdom, We are the few people that remain loyal my lord and together we brought you to this current time. With your help we would like to restore your Kingdom and bring you to your rightful spot on the throne" Thengal explained.

A smile came across Archon at the thought, but was wiped off as Cadfael Shouted "MADNESS!" he was about to protest to the king when one of the archers kicked him in the side of the head.

"Who is this?" Archon asked in a kind voice. "My lord" Thengal started "this fool looked to challenge your resurrection and the return of you Kingdom. He killed two of my men and we bring him before you to decide his fait." Archon looked at Cadfael with disgust. "Put him in a holding cell if you have one, we must decide our first move tell me about our new enemy and where we stand and where is my castle!" Archon exclaimed.

Two of the archers sheathed there bows and grabbed the struggling Cadfael. They threw him in a jail and put his sword and bow and arrows to a holding room. Cadfael couldn't let this be the end he had to get out. He had to warn Albion. ARCHON WAS COMING!

Meanwhile in Greatwood Archon and all his robed men roughly 500 stood ready to attack not the hero's guild which used to be Archon's castle, but Bowerstone, he wanted to knock off every army before he reclaimed his Castle and it would start with Bowerstone. Archon gave the signal for everyone to halt he wanted to see if Bowerstone was prepared and how good its defenses were.

So alone Archon started to travel to Bowerstone.

Word reached quickly of the Resurrection of Archon and his plot to the captain of Bower Stone's Army from his scouts. He had sent fifteen soldiers to the statue of lookout point to slow the oncoming army down. The soldiers stood with crossbows out expecting an immediate attack by the new army, and they were right. Archon himself immerged from Greatwood and the fifteen Guards were quick to fire. Before they knew what happened the arrows they had shot burned to ash before they hit there target and large fire ball was sent back at them killing five of the Guards. Panicking the guards drew there swords, but Archon was comming fast, too fast. It was the spell battle charge and five more guards fell. The remaining five were quick to fall to his blade.

Archon then looked upon the fortress of Bowerstone remembering the words of Thengal "We need prisoner to bring back your Kingdom DO NOT kill all your foes" and Archon muttered "here's a good place to start."
