He felt outrage at how easily the Dragon Slayer had moved beyond her hatred of dragonkin it was surprising. Together he and his mate were plotting against him.

Murder holes and machicolations were at the top of the list to get access to. ![]() A good bulk of the army would be a distraction, taking out the forces that guarded the walls and manned the many areas in the scenario of a siege. Taking back the throne was going to be bloody and some would die but it was a cause many had sworn themselves to help accomplish. Much of the gathered arm buzzed with excitement for the day’s tasks. The time had finally come to take back the castle and restore Zarek to his rightful place the throne.
