Chapter 4
You Anger Me
Gnarl, the minion master coughed into the sleeve of his rag like cloths. Now that the minions finally cleaned off the stairwell that led upstairs to the library, he was able to access it. . It wasn't as wonderful as it used to be, but some books did manage to survive in the years in the weather. Mumbling to himself about his lady's mood swings lately, he wished for a better understanding as to why there was even a lady put with all the other Overlords crypts.
Throwing yet another book at the pile of books behind him Gnarl went on took out another book from the green mossy shelves. No title on the book was visible, but no other book here had tittles either, all of them where worn away. An Aha! Was herd all of a sudden in the quite room and part of the hallway. Then a loud and aggravated on fallowed after.
"Of course once I find the book that I'm looking for I find that is has missing pages." Gnarl kept flipping anyway, hoping and praying to the evil gods that what he was looking for was still in the book. "hmm." He stopped at one chapter. Lady. Was the title. Skimming through, it just started out about lady's of the Overlord, but no Overlady…and then two sentences held the attention of the minion master. One Overlord had a lady that was worth being called a Lord her self. He berried her with him in hopes one day she would rise and rule the world.
We'll that explained everything, well almost. What Overlord was dumb and love stricken enough to do that? Gnarl not really like the idea and not having a choice either flung the book over his shoulder and walked down the long hallway and down the flight of stairs to see how his moody lady was doing.
"M'Lady, how are you this morning?" He got a glare in response, ok…maybe she was still mad at him for last night. Had he known his lady just got out of her bath he would have knocked, then again he didn't know she was even taking a bath in the first place so when he walked in. He saw his Lady in the buff, not that he was arguing or anything, his lady was one hell of a lady, but then again, this was the Overlady he was looking at and at the end he wound up with a burse on his head from her kick and of him landing on the floor head first.
"I had said sorry times and times again last night and this morning M'Lady, I truly had no idea you were…bathing." Gnarl didn't like her silent treatment. If she stopped speaking to him, then maybe the minions would stop listening to him and he couldn't have that. He needed someone else to take the heat of her angered persona.
She just glared at him more. Ok, so reminding her of the incident wasn't such a good idea. Then Gnarl head a sigh.
"Ugg. You think being a woman would be easy." Gnarl looked up confused, wasn't she just angry at him? Not again, her mood swing.
"Uh, Lady Andromeda. May I as what is wrong?" Gnarl really didn't want to find out, but it was better to get on her good side when you can't seem to figure out what mood she'll be in next.
"What are you stupid?" Anger again. "Can't you tell when I'm in pain?"
"The Tower Heart heals you M'lady, you should not be in any pain."
"And here I thought you knew a lot of stuff. As a lady, I am to give an heir to a lord, and for that to happen I have to be fertile…I am in no relationship to conceive for there I must suffer what we woman call out own privet Hell! Do you need anymore help figuring this out?"
Gnarl stood stock still, his brain slowly ticking by and processing the information that he was given. He was having his own hell right now, with his lady going off the deep end with random emotions.
"How about we do something to take your mind off it? Kill some something, take your anger out at the world ." Gnarl stated and then whispered "As long it is not me, I'm ok for it."
"Fine, Let me beat up those knights, so they could suffer like I am." Lady Andromeda literally jumped off her throne and ran to the tower heart with such glee, it looked like she was running through a field of…dead bodies (in her head). An over excited lady that was happy to get some blood shed done was at the moment the best thing for the world.

Whipping around Lady Andromeda slashed her sword through yet another armored human. Angered that these knights didn't know when to give up and for the fact that her abdomen was hurting for the past two minutes. The twenty or so knights that were left stopped their useless swinging of their weapons and backed off. Lady Andromeda found herself looking at a young man.
"That's Lord Harith. An arrogant young man M'Lady. He has these knights to protect him, so he shouldn't be to hard to kill, heck he won't even be a challenge." Gnarl rang into her head.
He had long silver hair and violet eyes. No armor was on him, but he did have royal cloths on. Red bottom shirt with a white over top that covered him almost like a cape.
"Bah, definitely one of good heart. What fun it would be to corrupt this one. Lets see what this puny weakling has to say." Gnarl spat.
"You are the master of these…creatures, please, tell them to stop this. There is no need for violence." Andromeda called back her minions with a low long hum. They had seemed to run off in different directions and now where pillaging boxes and barrels for stuff. "Thank you." He only received a snort from Andromeda and laughing from the minions.
"What do you want?" Andromeda asked. Harith stepped back slightly giving off the expression of shock.
"You are lady!" He exclaimed loudly.
"You expect a man to do this? Typical."
"That's right M'Lady show him a woman is not afraid of a little blood shed, or world domination." Gnarl hollered out. Growling Andromeda made sure once she got back she would kick Gnarl for that this time.
"I…no disrespect worrier, but did you really need to bring you and your…creatures here? We had not done anything to -"
"Keep your knights out of Spree! That is my domain." Harith stepped back slightly as Andromeda stepped forward, only he tripped over his robes and fell on his rear-end with a grunt. Andromeda loomed over him ready to strike when the knights moved to protect their Lord.
And in no more than three seconds a second fight of that day broke out in the town square. Minions went flying, some do to attack while others do to being knocked back. Andromeda cut three knights in half, her sword had no problem going through their pathetically structured armor. Looking up she found Harith running for the safety of his palace.
'What Lord doesn't bring a sword with him?' Andromeda thought.
"A Lord with no brain cells. Get him My Lady. His head would do greatly above our spacious fire place." Andromeda needed no encouragement from Gnarl, her way was clear and she wasn't going to let him get a way, though what she was going to kill him for she had no clue, she didn't care, as long as someone else was feeling pain.
Catching up with the poor excuse of a lord was a little tricky for someone in armor, but Andromeda was able to do that and even run past him so he would have to stop so he wouldn't impale himself on her sword. He was panting and sweating but also he looked scared. He looked at the tip of the sword, down the sword it self and up the arm of the holder to look up at the helmeted face of the lady who had manage to not to only escape the knights but kill them too.
"What do you want with me. I'll keep the knights out of spree. Just don't kill me." Harith's words were not only huffed out but where also said in fright.
'Has this Lord have no back bone?'
"Cut him open and find out!" Gnarl seemed rather excited to kill him.
'What aren't you telling me Gnarl?' Andromeda hiss in her head. Silence was her answer. 'I'm going to kick you extra hard if you don't tell me.' Gnarl made a gruff gasp.
"You were planning on hitting me! My Lady!… He's the grandson of that hero that killed the former Overlord."
"I'm sure your grandfather had told you lots about his conquest and all, but lucky you…you get to receive the wonderful death that your grandfather really deserves." Andromeda laughed out in mockery. If this was the grandson of some hero, sniveling and asking for mercy…the hero himself had to be some sniveling brat as well.
"That may be true, but I had done nothing to you! Please-" Harith was cut off when the sword that he had been staring at a little while ago got closer to his neck.
"Shut it you. I can't think strait with that noise you call your voice." Harith shut his jaw tight with a snap. He turned his eyes to find several of those creatures that she controlled running up to her with pieces of gold and odd glowing circles. Both things were absorbed in to her right hand, the same hand she was holding the sword to his throat with.
"Nice choice of words My Lady. Actually if I may, why don't we take this poor sap home and put him in the dungeon? I'm sure you could have fun with him later." Gnarl for once to day had a good idea, why think of something know when you had the time of the world to think of something cynical.
"Minions." All the minion looked towards their mistress waiting for her orders. "Take him back to the palace. Place him in a cell." Andromeda turned to Harith, "You, you will wait till I think of something…pleasurable." and with that Harith was knocked out with the back of Andromeda's left gauntlet hand and carried off to the portal. No knights fallowed after, not that their were any alive to fallow that is.
Thank you for reading. Review!!!
