Atreidies
"One, two, three hit. Nicely done lad!"
He was a short heavy-set man with short-cropped red hair but a long, partially braided beard. To look at him, you would know he was a dwarf. He reached a little above the waist of his apprentice. His voice rumbled and when he laughed it seemed like mountains might fall.
"Thank you, sir," said a boy who looked to be about eighteen. He had dark brown hair and the most stunning grass green eyes.
"My boy, you've mastered everything I have to teach you! I have taught you well. You are now ready for whatever comes your way. When you beat Garret that just proved it! You have learned faster than anyone I have ever seen before! There's something special about you Falon my boy," the dwarf laughed, hands on his stomach, loud like a great storm.
"Excuse me," said a short thin man interrupting the storm of laughter. All fell silent. "Are you the Highlord Atreidies? The boy inside told me he was out here."
"Why yes, I am! What can I do for you my good lad? Lucky you came; my boy here now gets a rest!" he said, slapping Falon on the back. The storm of laughter erupted again.
"Thank you for the thought" Falon said "but I am fine. I don't need a rest my Lord. I can keep up with you now," He grinned with pride.
"My Lord, I have been sent here by Queen Arianna. She requests your presence at her counsel in two days time. Galgor is loose and is threatening our world. Queen Arianna is sending for the Legendary Five to assemble. You are the only ones who can save us. Please report to the counsel; our fate is in your hands," With that he bowed and looked to Atreidies for an answer.
"Ah!" Atreidies bellowed. "I knew something like this would happen, but no matter! The Legendary Five you say? Ah, all right! An adventure it is. Tell Queen Arianna we shall be there in two days time. She can count on our help in this fight!"
"Thank you My Lord, we look forward to your arrival. Could you please stop by the Passétrine church and assure a safe passage to the Castle for the High Priest," And with that he was gone. They watched the man walk away in silence for a few seconds before Atreidies was back to his loud chatting.
"Well Falon my boy, it looks like we are going on a quest to help the Queen and you shall get to see what we really do. This will be good training for you and with your skills where they are you should prove to be some help!"
