Roald nodded, acknowledging Athos’ question, and continued. “I’ve made controversial decisions as of late, regarding the city as a whole. No... More than just the city. As you well know, I was the one who passed the law about the Ammon clan, your kin. My advisors are a varied bunch; some warned me against it, others told me that I must pass it. The recent outburst of criminal activity, especially in the form of the rebel group, is all because of my decisions. As King, I must take responsibility for them.”

“Your Majesty, not all of the city is against your new laws,” Biron commented.

“No,* King Roald disagreed. “The rebel group is growing at an astounding rate. It seems that legalizing the coexistence of your clan and the Varrock humans was something they could not tolerate. It must all be because of The Plague that haunts mixed-bloods. Types such as yourself, Athos.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“I think it should be the choice of the individual, which is why I passed the law. With proper medication, The Plague can be controlled.” King Roald looked at Athos’ father directly. “And for years, you Captain Biron – and your family as well – have had to put up with the discrimination of my intolerant people, even as you served me. My new laws are something I stand by until the end. Which is why I’ve summoned you two here today.”

He continued, “See, the rebels have been around for several years now, mostly staying underground and gathering members. As I hope would be expected from you and everyone else, I treated them as simply a small group of people with different opinions, rather than a terroristic society. Until yesterday, I believed we had no reason to fear them. However, with their leader’s sudden attack, I feel it’s time to stand up and fight back.”

“I’m forming a counter-rebellion group today to find out where the rebels are meeting and take apart their group. Anyone found guilty of being a part of that group will receive the full penalty of death by poison, no matter what. However, I need capable, strong leaders to head this counter-rebellion. I want you two to be the men I need. I’ve thought about it for a while now, and I feel you are both my very best options.”

“We would be honored, sir,” Biron replied.

“I agree with my father.”

“You have nothing to fear, then, friends,” Roald assured them, smiling and placing a hand on both of their shoulders. “You will be leading the guards from this point on, even the other factions. Street guards, castle guards, border guards… All are yours to aid in this fight. Use them as you wish; I give you both full permission.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty,” they responded, turning and walking towards the door. However, the king stopped them before they left, having another comment to add. They returned their eyes to him and listened.

“Make Sabas and Christa proud.”

"He walked beyond the guardsmen he’d spotted, full of regret. His heart was pounding in his chest and his breathing was heavy. He had a passion for what he did..."

I love this part of the story. I think this tells us a lot about your story writing skills. Your story also tells us that you have a passion for writing. I'd love to read more stories of yours in the future.
