[QUOTE="Fenris, post: 4369153, member: 2820"] Dartis takes the blade and journal from Barok and reads through the journal a bit as he walks. He heads over to find Kyle. He finds Kyle directing troops as usual and greets him. Dartis strides up far more somber. [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]"Kyle, something has come to my attention. And this needs to be addressed now, for tomorrow it will be too late. Kneel before me." [/COLOR] Kyle looks at Dartis strangely.[COLOR="Red"]"You can't be serious, look Dartis I have way too much to...."[/COLOR] [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]"Kneel!" [/COLOR]commanded Dartis almost shoving Kyle to the ground. Kyle complied but barely, if only to see what madness had taken hold of Dartis. Kyle's men had begun to gather around to see what was happening. Dartis motioned them to draw closer. [COLOR="RoyalBlue"] "Gather around Sons of Dorin.
