a parchment that glowed and a bottle of a strange liquid that looked magical. It was time to create a new sword for the King.

The castle is busy preparing for the venture into the unknown, everyone was busy right down to the children. Wagons were filled with supplies and the tack for the yaks checked and cleaned any broken or damaged items replaced. Psycotropy's trade wagon was fitted with two dwarven cannons as well of a good supply of hand cannons for the trip, of course the wagon was fully stocked with cooking supplies and provisions.

Bombers ironmen and suqah were itching to leave but instead checked weapons and thier own supplies, the suqah's collecting all the weapons suited to them and the armour Tonkad had made them. They looked impressive huge battle ready creatures along side the ironmen who were much smaller but had the same battle ready look.

Ryou and Kia arrived in Rellekka and talked with the Chief then quickly slipped out of own leaving Brundt to gather his fighting men and women. Numbering five hundred they marched out of town toward Camalot and glory. Just as they arrived a might sound filled the area, the sound of a thousands of boots marching and a war song in the gutteral launguage of the suqah drowned out all other sounds. The grounds of the castle were quickly filling as one thousand suqah warriors gathered, Bomber groaned as he saw his garden being messed up with so many big feet knowing it would be fun to redo the garden when this was all over he moved towards the throne room to inform the King of the help that arrived but he didnt need to, the King was looking out the window as they arrived.
Bomber told the King his new forse was ready and willing to battle for him, the chief of the suqah only had to tell them how good life was with the King and they came to help with the added bonus they were going to fight with the ironmen, they all remembered the terrible fight they had with them before.

No one had noticed Tonkad missing from the battle planning til later in the day, a errand boy was sent to his rooms and got no answer from the smith. His door is locked my King and there sounds like snoring coming from deep in the rooms.
Tonkad had drunken the bottle of liquid and fell into a trance without being aware he had worked for hours creating a sword for the King, his hammer rising and falling steadily on the heated metal as it was grafted to the Kalphite horns. The gems were crushed and placed into a bowl as he reached for the parchment aloud the words were from a long dead language and extremely powerful words of magic. Tonkad was not a magician at all but the words flows from him and he cast the powdered hydrix gems into the air as he spoke the last line of the magical parchment, the hydrix dust settled on the sword not one partical was lost and the sword was whole and glowing powerfuly. Tonkad collapsed over his anvil still clutching a fragment of the parchment that had burnt as the last word was spoken, his hand unharmed as it was hardend from all the work he did with hot metal day after day and only a dragons breath could even warm his hands more than his forges.

Tonkad woke to pounding on the door and the King shouting for him to wake, and a distant voice in his head repeating "I am Peacemaker who is my master?" just as kicked the door in frustration it opened with a dirty and sleepy looking Tonkad holding a strange new sword. Tonkad looked at the look of worry on the Kings face and smiled as he handed the sword to the King. Peacemaker assalted the King metalally with a greeting and words of comfort, the King looked around and saw only Tonkad and his lips were not moving.
Tonkad laughed as the Kings face showed confusion this time and spoke "seems the sword is sentient my King" The King regarded the weapon and gasped it was so well crafted and balanced but it had two blades and a strange fitting on the end of the handle,

a catch was between the two blades and he worked it one blade came away from the other and was drawn to the fitting with a click it joined and became a kind of lance with a twist of the handle it extended so it could be handled better. He gave it a swing and felt the magical blade almost cut the air around it, Peacemaker was happy this man who was King was a worthy holder and Peacemaker knew it would serve him well. King Kid Arthur was very pleased with his new sword and listened carefully as Peacemaker told him of the power words to activate its many features, Lance would change it during use into the form it was in now, Dual would revert it to its normal two blade sword form and the use of the words water, earth, air and fire would activate magical blasts of pure magic.

Tonkad needed no thanks but got them anyway King Kid Arthur really liked his sword, he ran to show his Queen like a happy child with a new toy. The Queen liked his new weapon but wonderd how to carry it no scabbard would be sufficient to carry it, she set to making one even taking off the exquisate necklace she was wearing and removing the gems to decorate the scabbard. She handed her King the finished scabbard and he placed it around his waist and swung the sword in a mighty florish of movement and skill then slipped Peacemaker into the scabbard. Both the King and the sword were happy.

Tonkad smiled as he walked back to his room there was still much work to be done and very little time to do it in, his voiced boomed as he entered his workshop calling for his helpers to speed up and sharpen swords repair armour and distribute them to the men and women heading out to the wilderness. The helpers silently answered Tonkad and feverishly went to work. Work was finished and all the helpers exhausted but happy to complete thier work under such a great smith as Tonkad, they knew of the relationship of him and the King. almost brothers but seperated at birth but always in contact and now together again.

Ryou and Kia returned shortly after the King left his Queen and entered the throne room with Bomber, Tonkad, Jura, Ecentrah and Nexitum patiently waited. They joined the gathering and waited for the King to speak. King Kid Arthur said only three words "We leave Now" And he strode from the throne room to the courtyard and down to the gates of Camalot, The suqah, ironmen, the Kings army, and the fremennicks fell in behind him and the wagons trundled behind. A mighty army heading off to battle a evil army of the undead, what adventure awaited them?

Onwards the massive army marched towards the wilderness with everyone on edge and ready for battle with this unwanted threat from the undead army, it wasnt a question of one town in particular being destoyed it would be a total annialation of mankind and every living thing if the undead were not stopped. They reached the wilderness wall and saw a large amount of undead milling around just beyond the wall. The undead seemed to be waiting for permission to cross the wall. The ironmen didnt wait for permission at all they jumped the wall and flew into the undead with reckless efficientcy with a large group of the suqah following them into battle made short work of the nearby undead. That first group of undead made it clear that they were going to be a toughbattle as they reanimated and rose to fight again leaving a scant few still on the ground, this was noted as they were the ones without heads attached to skeletal bodies. A shout went out "removed the heads at all costs!"

Ecentrah's and Nexitum's squards formed up and jumped the wall with King Kid Arthur and Queen Lorry hot on thier heels, the Kings sword flared brightly and sent messages to him "fight brave King, today we both will be legends" The undead horde senced that the King was near and shuffled towards him cutting him off from both Nexitum and Ecentrah and thier squads with only Queen Lorry by his side he fought bravely each of them bringing down many undead but they kept coming. Queen Lorrys crystal bow sang a song of death its string never stopped moving as her hands repeatedly pulled back the string raining arrow apon arrow into the growing thong of undead. They exploded into thousands of bits as each arrow hit its mark. King Kid Arthur swirled and struck with unparalleled accuracy but he was completly surrounded and at his back a undead monster was raising his club and about to deal the King a viscious blow to the back of the head when his feet went out from under him, Queen Lorry had swept the feet from under him but recieved the blow intended for him squarly on the shoulder breaking it with a sickening crack. The Chief of the suqah saw this and bellowed loudly and ran for the trade wagon and tore the two dwarven cannon from thier mounts and stepped over the wilderness wall in a second bringing both cannons to bare and started firing them both at the same time. The cannons roaring loudly as each shot was fired. Psycotropy recovered from the shock of the sudden removal of the cannons and called over some of the other suqah and handed them the ammo for the cannons. Help your Chief and load the cannons he said and the suqah ran to thier chief and reloaded the roaring cannons while the King dragging his Queen from the battle placing her gently on the trade wagon leaving Psycotropy and Fierysfury to tend to her wound.

Psycotropy told his lovely wife to have some fun and join the battle and help our King, she squeeled with delight as she drew forth her swords and turned them over the sharp edges useless against undead.

The King rejoined the fight with even more detirmination with peacemaker in the lance form this time its blades destroying the undead with each strike the horde was thining gradually. Suqah troops ran after the horde that seemed to be coming from the volcano deep in the wilderness thier boots crunching heavily on the bones and remaining flesh of the enemy. What a sight it was a thousand suqah on the battlefield smashing evrything that stood in thier way leaving nothing but pulverised bone and flesh behind. Off they ran with Ryou, Kia and the fremenicks in tow the battle was on the move.

The Chief of the suqah still had the cannons in each hand with his people behind him reloading, the barrels of both cannons glowing a very angry red showed they wouldnt last much longer which was a good thing as ammo was getting low. Click click both cannons empty and no ammo left the Chief threw them at the enemy smashing many undead the red hot cannon barrels igniting the remnants of clothing left on a few of them.

Psycotropy was helping ease Queen Lorry's pain when Tonkad walked up to the trade wagon and said that there were items in the storage locker at the back of the wagon that would fix the missing cannon problem. Queen Lorry told Psycotropy to tend to the wagon and help Tonkad. They opend the storage locker and pulled out curious weapon racks that looke like they would accept the dwarven hand cannons they had on the wagon ten to each rack and hoppers to feed the ammo to each hand cannon. Two racks were fitted and loaded with the hand cannons the hoppers filled. The yaks were taken out of the harness and carried over the wall by several suqah and they returned to the wagon and carried that over the wall too.

Yaks were reharnessed and Queen Lorry climbed into the drivers seat when she heard a muffled voice underneath her, she moved and opened the hatch and Spelsa looked out she had stowed away not wanting to miss out on the action. You may aswell get out now and help me drive this wagon Queen Lorry said. Spelsa had her spells ready as she regarded he grandmother the Queen and saw the injury and thought better not to ask about it. Vlarkin and Olad manned the two sets of hand cannons while Psycotropy feed the hoppers with ammo, Queen Lorry got the yaks pulling the mighty wagon straight into the heat of the battle.

With the events that went on in the wilderness the castle was still buzzing with grand tales of battle and celebration was still going even as the morning broke, the children up before most of the Kings subjects. The began acting out the events with great joy with them taking turns being the beloved King Kid Artur and the Undead leader. Lots of screams of joy and mock swordplay went on for hours with each child having a turn being the hero of the day. Unknown to all the King lay in his bed near death no-one knew the heavy cost of slaying the Undead leader now affecting King Kid Arthur. The Queen was the first to realise when she stirred from her own troubled sleep her shoulder still very sore and uncomforable. Queen Lorry screamed for healers as she took in the Kings apperance, healers came into the Kings chamber and were truely shocked at the sight of his almost withered body with sunken eyes and his face was matted with sweat and the hair that had fallen out.

Panic spread fast through the castle at first it was spoken the King was dead but one of the healers fetching stronger herbs and potions informed Merlin the King was very weak and not dead. Merlin raced to his room and grabbed a ancient tome from the many that lined the walls of his room and started flipping through the pages seeking something not sure till he found it minutes later. The King was in trouble as the tome told him the taking the life of a Undead leader would result in the life forse of the one that slayed it would be taken to be able to kill the evil undead.
Merlin took another tome from the shelf and opened it to a well read page, the page contained recipes for healing, as he read the page he moved very fast gathering herbs and mixing bowls and started to create the most powerful healing potion to save the King.

The Queen and the healers fussed over the King and every eye in the castle was directed towards the location of the Kings room and they waited or news, the children stopped the play battle and held parents hands even the suqah stopped their activities and waited along side the humans. Nexitum was sent for by the Queen as he reached for the handle for the door to the Kings chamber it was opened by a woman with tears running down her face and a look of pure fear The Queen, Nexitums heart sank and he strode into the room and upto the Kings bed and saw for himself what state he was in. The King moved slightly motioning Nexitum closer and in barely a whisper he spoke to the young man. He said "Nexitum you are to take over my position while im like this, hand me my sword please"
The King knew he would be unable to wield peacemaker but being able to touch it would do for the task ahead. Nexitum held the sword for the King and in a soft strained voice the King spoke the words

"I King Kid Arthur transfer my reign to Nexitum" he coughed and passed out as Merlin rushed in holding one small vial that held a light so bright it was almost blinding, he parted the Kings lips and poured a very small amount into his open mouth and instantly the King looked a little better his eyes showing the most improvemnt. The King wasnt out of trouble yet, more of the potion was needed and Merlin gave it to him slowly. After he had drunk it all the King was able to sit up in his bed but not well enough to run his Kingdom. Merlin told the King he must leave the Kingdom and its running to Nexitum and to seek out a less hectic place to rest and recoperate. Kid Arthur thought of only one place and that was by his fathers side.

The kingdom subjects were informed of the Kings health and the transfer of the duties to Nexitum a young man loved by all for his heroics and some even mimiced his outfits and the hawk he called Hawka was a popular pet among those who could either catch one or afford to buy one. The King knew his choice had been right with Nexitum and his thoughts wandered to the journey to the lands where his father retired to.

The castle turned into a beehive of activity, with the trasfer of the title of King going to Nexitum and the impending travel of Kid Arthur to Lunar Isles to join his father in retirement much was to be done.
A long list of volenteers to travel with the former King was growing long and the new King, King Nexitum was himself going with his hand picked warriors. Ecentrah was his first choise as she had shown tremendious courage in the battles preceeding the fight with the Undead leader, Jura Mist and Tonkad were going alongside Bomber and the ironmen. The thousand saqah that were eating the kingdoms supplys at a alarming rate were heading back too. The fremennicks were oblivious to everything unless Unbreakable was to go as well. Mainly they craved his fabulous ales and Psycotropy was to travel with them too to provide the food for

the long slow haul they were to make to the fremennick town and the connecting ship to the lunar isles.

The great trip for Kid Arthur was underway and everyone turned out to see him off, The whole trip had him meet friends and foes greet him and wish him well on his retirement. After all this was a man from a humble start in life rise to King and take his loyal troops into a battle for the existance of Gelinor and walk out alive with minimal loss. The new King walked beside his role model with a curious look on his face, the more he looked at Kid Arthur the more he saw a older version of himself but Nexitum didnt know why, he was a orphan as far as he knew. There was a longing to be back at the castle too. Ecentrah remained behind and he wasnt sure of his feelings towards her other than pure respect and admiration of her ability's. Ecentrah didnt know it as yet but Nexitum was going to ask her to be his Queen. Nexitum was woken from his musings and Kid Arthur addressed him in a low tone i have something to tell you boy! he said. Kid Arthur spoke to Nexitum in the lowest tone his eyes getting wet as he told what he had to say, Nexitum many years ago before i made Lorry my Queen i had a woman that was dearly loved and you were a surprise to us both. Nexitum stopped in his tracks and froze his mind nearly exploding with the overload of information. Father? Yes my boy you were born to a exiled to be King and a local woman just like i was, that alone was not the reason i handed over the kingdom to you. You have grown into a fine warrior and have battle tactics honed to a fine skill had you not been my son I would have still handed over my kingdom to you.
