"mistrustings & assasines" (L'Renouille) After a long and hard ride, Han and his old friend Ian arrived the castle of L'Renollique. Han felt well to be back home, and Ian started to think about the old days, when he was living at this castle, wearing the Uniform of an Highland General. It is nice to be here, Ian thoughts. They passed the gates and entered the big place inside the castle. Some guards came and told them to visit the King imidiatly. So did they. Ian and Han walked across the long and endless seeming halls until they arrived a big door with 2 guards infront of it. "Sir Han" the guard sayd with a respective nod. Then he opened the door and salutated Han and his follower. They entered the huge meeting Hall. On the north end was the throne of King Agares, many people were in this room. Standing around, watching Han, greeting him and talking. It was the whole staff of advisors and generals, wich was in this hall. "I greet you my King, i, Han, General of Highlands Royal 5th Corps, report that im back and that my mission suceed." "Welcome back General Han. I see, you found him..." the King replied with a contented smile. "Yes my King, this is Ian McGreg. Ex-General of Highland..." Han got interrupted by King Agares. "Introduce yourself!" King Agares ordered Ian. Ian felled on his knees: "Yes my...King Agares of Highland. I am Ian McGreg, Ex-General of Highland, now impartial customer at Tworiver Village! Its a pleasure for me to work for your highness!" "Nice to meet you again, Ian..." a strange voice said from behind Ians back. Ian turned around to face the one. It was a tall man with long blonde hair and a shimering armor. "Dont you remember me?" Ian tried to remember this person. He looks familiar but Ian couldnt identivy him. "No, im sorry sir..." "Well, let me help you..." the man said while pulling out his sword. The whole hall got nervouse, because they thought he tries to duellate Ian. The man steped infront of Ian and showed him his sword. "Do you remember this sword then, if not myself?" he asked. "Enough Sir Edorian!" Han shouts "Edorian? General Edorian "the Bearclaw"?" Ian asked with a stuttering voice The man noded: "Yes its me...you really allowed yourself to appear again here? TRAITOR!!" "Enough!" King Agares shouts, "Sir Edorian, please calm down! Sir Ian is here to make an importand job for us!" "What?! After he left Highland and changed the sides?! My Highness, do you really think its an good idea!?" Edorian shouts back. "I have my reasons, and Han also, i trust General Han, and if General Han trusts in Ian, so am i!" King Agares said angrily. Lord Edorian only said something under his breath. Then he turned round and left the meeting hall. The staff of advisors broke out in a loud discuss about the events. Some agreed with Lord Edorian, some were on King Agares side. After King Agares explained the missions targets to Ian again, Han and Ian left the Hall for theire rooms. Han felt asleep very fast. On the next morning, Han got awakened by his Guard. "Lord Han! Lord Han! The King wants to talk to
you. It seems something happened!"
"Lord Han, its about Ian..." an advisor said "He was found in his room, killed by an assasine it seems..." the King said slowly. Han didnt know how to feel. On one hand, Ian was a friend, on the other hand, Lord Edorian was right in a way. Hans first thought was that Edorian killed Ian. Then the King started to speak again: "The strange thing is, Lord Edorian left the castle tonight." "Mh...i see...so you think, he did...?" Han asked slowly "Maybe, maybe not...but we need to get him back here! Its honorless to kill a man like this, if he did, and also its honorless to leave the Kings castle like this!" King Agares said angrily. "Yes, it surly is...my King...i'll go and..." Han got interrupted by the opening of the huge door. "My King, we have news!" A Soldier said while he walked towards the throne to fall on his knees. "What is it?" King Agares asks. "We've send out some scouts to find sir Edorian. Some villagers of Muro Village say that they seen him last night." the soldier replies. "Okay, thank you!" King Agares said, "Sir Milov, send out a hunterscorps to Muro Village, they shall capture him!" "Yes sir!" the advisor said and left the hall. "My highness," Han said, "this sounds like youre searching for an rebel, or traitor...isnt he an Highland General?" "Yes, he is, but the way he talked in this halls yesterday, and the fact that he, maybe, a murder makes me act like this!" Agares replies. "I understand, my highness." Han said. After a few moments, Han left the meeting Hall. He got orders to lead the hunting corps to Muro Village. So he got ready and a few hours later he was sitting on his horse, with a corps of 20 men behind him, riding through the gates of the castle...
