Vauc Berheemius

"We must raise the walls! Amun Ra wouldn't lie! The Pharoah is back, and we must be ready!" Promeithius shouted across the room at the others.

There was at least seven people in the room, all who were highly recognized. They seemed to each be a leader of a branch of The Phoenix State. Promeithius stood as the Arch General of the Phoenix State Royal Force. If any human in The Phoenix State was to be feared and respected, it was Promiethius. He was the reason that The Phoenix State was reuniting, using the Royal Forces to act as the supreme governing body.

"We have gotten this far by listening to Amun Ra, and I don't intend on giving up. He has stated that the walls need to be raised. For what reasons, I have no idea yet. Even if nothing happens, so what? We need to be safe, not sorry." Promiethius spoke to the group.

His brownish red hair seemed to radiate from his armors reflection of light. He had an almost angelic look standing with the sun shining through a window of his back. He knew the others would follow, but he still had to do his best to make his case, and presentation was a big key.

Without looking, Promiethieus was aware of Khan. Not by magic, but a guard on the balcony over the dragons head yelling orders. He turned around, watching Xuxus fly off and Khan's greeting by the guards.

"Pardon me for one second, we have a guest on behalf of the Grand General." Promiethieus spoke quietly to the group.

Then a mighty voice echoed throughout the room as if they were giving orders on the battlefield, "STAND DOWN AND RETURN TO YOUR POSTS! DO YOU NOT RECOGNIZE THIS MAN?!"

Promiethieus walked through the entrance to the balcony towards Khan. He would grab a soldier who was backing up without lowering his weapon, a new recruit, by the back of his armor. In one swift movement, he would jerk the soldier up and throw them across the ground behind himself, and into the entrance to the balcony.

"When I give an order, you obey...if you can't listen, i'll kill you before you cost my men their lives with you insubordination." Promiethieus spoke calmy to the soldier before turning to Khan, "Welcome. Come inside so we can discuss the current events and decide what we need to do."

Immediately following his words, Promiethieus returned to where the others were. Despite the Grand General not being there, his Segundo General was. Hopefully he has a little more political sense than Sinn does.

"We'll worry about me later..." He spoke before entering back into the room with the bunch.

"This is Segundo General Khan Valder of the Phoenix State Grand Army.", he spoke to the group before turning to Khan, "As for what is happening is simple, but seems to be creating an intricate problem. I was given a dream by Amun Ra of a fiery serpent. We believe it is a warning and we need to prepare. The walls of Vauc Berheemius are about to be raised, but we are deciding whether or not to begin resurrecting walls around the State. Whatever is going to happen, we need to prepare, we just need to decide what needs to be done first and where to begin stationing the men for possible combat. Whatever happens, it needs to be quick, no matter how much it costs...then we must discuss the tribes in the Gate of the Valheecius Desert, as their defenses will be lacking due to their small size."

Promiethius turned to the group again, taking his position in the light, "I say we raise periodic walls around the state, controlling what routes are available for heavy movement. They won't waste time destroying them, having no way to move the rubble for any equipment. We can use masons and terramorphers to build them. We can have the complete southern border completed in a month if we push hard enough. This means lots of food and water. We also have to think about the supplies being sent to the Free Plains for the fort."

He listened as one being spoke, "Dragon Season is in, so we have excess amounts of meat. We'll decrease the amount we export and use it to fuel the workers. As for the periodic walls, we can station one man per wall to light a large fire signal, in which all the walls will follow. We can use them for defense and a signal, letting us know if anything comes, be it a demon or an army. Like previously stated, we don't know what could be coming, so a warning would be nice. Also, with the reports, we can actually begin logging not to far out of the Gate. We can use this wood to begin work on our Navy. Our ships in the Black Sea are not made for travel in water, and our eastern and part of the north, are bordered by water. Just because it's fire, doesn't mean it couldn't come from the oceans...If you want walls, I want a Navy."

Promiethius spoke up again, "And how long would it take for a successful naval structure? That's more strain on the economy...If I give you one month, could you have a fleet ready?"

The being responded, "In one month, IF we can keep a steady flow of wood for that month, we can build three mediocre naval bases, nine large ships, eighteen smaller ships, and twelve medium ships. If our scouts are right, our eastern fleet could begin as soon as we get there, as it's wooded lands. We just can't use too much. It can be done."

Promiethius nodded to the man before turning to Khan, "As the representative in place of Grand General Sinn, is there anything you think may be needed to prepare for this unknown danger? Anything is worth being said. If we're going to strain our land, we need to do it and get it over quickly."

He thought for a moment. 'Firy serpent.....'

He knew he heard something like this before in his travels, then it hit him. He did not like this at all. Not a single bit.

"Through my travels, I stumbled upon a bit of information that may concern us greatly, and if I am correct on this knowledge, we need to get ready and raise the walls as fast as we can. This fire serpent is the God of this new government and they want war. War and bloodshed. I know we are in the process of reunited the Phoenix State, but we may need some allies that can help us in the war that I am sure is to come. Ones that can fight. Also, if the the fire serpent is anything to go by, they may use, and not limited to, fire attacks and magic." He said to promiethius calmly.

"I would also suggest getting an aerial force ready, which I would happily lead, either with a new flying craft that an inventor or inventors can come up with, or with dragons, lesser ones more likely. Enough for a force to pack a punch. The reason I am thinking this is because when I was near this new government, it looked like there were these flying...objects...they definitely not dragons for the shape was off and it was rather slow, though that may be that was winds up where we were weren't blowing that hard, so their speed may depend on the winds." He took a breath in, releasing he almost went that last part not inhaling. He re-straightened himself, look around at the group for their thoughts on the new Info.

"Well, I guess this meeting is over. Everyone get to work. We've got a lot to do in one month, so time is of the essence. I'll begin the walls, Khan and Masu will begin the Air Force, Delgear will form the navy. If we get what we done in a month, if things don't happen by time construction finishes, we can pull this off.", Promiethius spoke to the group before turning and walking off into the confines of the structure.

"Well, let's go. We have important work to tend to. Call your dragon. As long as you're with me, we won't have to check in at the outposts." Masu spoke to Khan.

Masu would head out to the balcony. Masu was ready to move, knowing one month wasn't a lot of time to form an Air Force, but it could be done. The quicker they reached the Black Lion Tribe, the better.

Masu would mount the dragon as stated, ordering to go as soon as he was secured, "Khan, go full speed. We'll need a total of ninety flying lesser dragons(1,800 NPC count) and we need two Flying Great Beasts(200 NPC count). With this, I believe we could hold a strong position in the sky. While we're at it, we'll need to see what type of weaponry we can equip them with. So much to do.."

The elfin man was ready. He had a thousand ideas running through his head. He knew only one of them could work, but it all decided on the moment.
