As the sun rose over Savanna, the sound of screaming could be heard. Metal clashing, liquid dripping, the screams of terror echoed throughout the city. The sounds of dragon roars woke Red up in a panic. He quickly jumped out of bed, completely nude and went to the varanda. The sight of fire and blood span his castle. As he looked, soldiers and civilians were fighting armoured men and dragons. The beautiful sandstone walls and flooring of the city was now paved with corpses and painted with a river of blood. He felt shocked, but suddenly anger took over. His ravaging red eyes glowed like a fireball. He closed his eyes and using his right hand, he pounded the area in his chest where his heart would be. Suddenly the armour which resided in his house in Kings Rose disappeared and then emerged over his body in Savanna,

"ALMA!" he screamed at the top of his lungs,

As he did, his sword came flying at him, landing perfectly on his open palm. Trivia woke up due to his shouting. As she got her senses, she heard the commotion happening outside, so she jumped out of bed as well, completely nude. She ran near to Red and looked outside. Shock and anger flowed into her body much like it did to Red,

"What's happening?" Trivia asked him with an ager to her voice,

"I don't know... But I'm gonna find out!" he replied even angrier,

Suddenly Red disappeared. He ran so fast it almost looked like he teleported. He went through the kitchen, the dinning hall and the main hall where the front gates were. Without even leaving an after image, he smashed the doors open to the outside. What laid out there, was hell. His men being killed, his women being raped and children being tortured and chained away. The ground was a puddle of blood like it rained from the heavens. He kept running towards the front gate of his castle until he noticed a man like no other. He wore white armour almost as thick as Red's body, he was built incredibly tall and pure muscle covered his body. He wielded a battle axe the size of Red himself. As Red took notice of him he stopped. The mere force of his halt, sent a sound all around as his feet plated the ground. The wind around him circled and dispersed with force, as he stood there, with a look that could kill gods. The surrounding enemies stopped attacking the civilians and stared at Red. They could feel the killing intent he stemmed to be exerting and took guard. Red scanned his around him, looking left to right slowly, taking in every single thing. He then stared directly at the huge man in front of him,

"I'll give all one chance to leave without consequences and concern. You want to live? Leave now!" he commanded,

Suddenly all of the enemy started laughing. Chuckling at Red's order. The only one who wasn't laughing was the big guy in front. Red lost his temper and stomped the ground. The ground broke around him, like a small meteor hit the ground. Cracks opened in the end and a blastic sound echoed throughout the entire city,

"You were warned",

Red crossed his arms. Alma flew into the air and hovered. The soldiers stared in shock as fear started to run through them,

"Verde" Red said aloud,

Suddenly Alma multiplied from 1 into 100 blades. Each and everyone of the swords pointed to an enemy. Except for the one in front. He didn't even twitch at Red's movents and just stood there analysing. Suddenly the blades came flying down, stabbing 100 men through the heart and nailing them down to the ground. After a couple of seconds, he lift his hand and Alma joined all 100 versions of herself and withdrew to Red's hand,

"Very impressive" the man said,

His voice was darkly deep. It was the voice of an old but powerful man,

"I do hope your judgment is a bit keener than your underlings. So please do answer my quention when I ask, who the fuck are you?",

The man bowed in dueling respects and answered,

"I'm here on behalf of the country Palmas, and its ruler",

"Palmas? Impossible. I myself went to Palmas to agree a peace treaty with Eu",

"Well, I lement to say that Her Ladyship Eu is no longer in power and our new ruler doesn't wish to have peace with Savanna" the man answered raising his head,

"Well, may I ask who your ruler is now?",

"No..." the man answered pointing his axe at Red "... YOU MAY NOT!",

Suddenly the man came flying at Red with precision and speed, catching him off-guard. He swung his battle axe with such power, a sonic boom was created, as the blade headed towards Red's chest. Suddenly the axe stopped as Red blocked it with Alma using his right hand. An array of blows was then thrown at him, but Alma blocked them all. The speed of the battle was so quick, it was hard to see anything happening with a normal or untrained eye. Suddenly however, Red blocked the axe and had an opening for an attack, so swiftly and powerfully he gave the man a kick, pushing him back far enough for Red to relax,

"You're strong" Red said as he started to pant,

"Thank you, but your clearly the stronger fighter" the man replied hunching down in pain,

"So since we're in the spirit of battle, may we exchange names?",

The man straightened out and planted his battle axe down. He then took of his helmet ans revealed himself. He had grey hair with a long matching beard. Scars span his face accompanied by the most brown eyes Red's ever seen,

"My name is Galhhour Borne, the strongest fighter in Palmas and the Head General to the Palmian Army",

Red gave a small smile,

"A pleasure. I am-",

"You need not introduce yourself" Galhhour interrupted "You are Red, King of the Savannian Kingdom, The First Hero and the all powerfull Forbidden One",

"My, you really do know me" Red said with a joking tone,

"It's quite hard to hide your presence once you've revealed yourself so often",

Red gave him a smile but not of good intent,

"So Galhhour Borne, General of the Palmian Army, what exactly are you doing here?",

"To send a message" Galhhour replied with honesty,

"And do you have to kill my men, rape my women and capture my children to do so?",

"Well it does help" the man said gesturing with his hands,

"And so? What message would that be?" Red asked with anger,

"You're presence is required at The House of All",

"Why?",

"To discuss The First Cord",

Suddenly Red broke out into maniacal laughter "Discuss? DISCUSS? You barge into my home, destroy my houses, murder my people, run the streets red and you wish to discuss?",

"All heroes are assembling. We happen to have a greater enemy on the horizon",

"So? An enemy to the world isn't my enemy until he faces me",

"She said you'd say that, that's why she asked me to tell you, your wish can become a reality",

Suddenly Red's laugh disappeared. He had face of distrust instead. His eyes grew ever brighter and his hands clutched ever harder,

"Adrianna has finally showed herself I see",

"Indeed, you and I are currently the only ones who know she's alive but she will also attend to the meeting",

Red relaxed and shiethed Alma back into her scabbard. He relaxed his muscles ever so slightly and look into the air. Suddenly he raised his hands and clapped. Everything stood still. Time itself stopped. The image of flying dragons, blood dropping from corpses, running citizens escaping the grasps of the enemy. All stood still like a picture, all frozen except Galhhour, he moved still much like Red. Although he was surprised, it wasn't one of amazement but that of what he was seeing,

"Well then you tell her, if she wants to show herself and discuss, she can do so here",

"I insist-"

"YOU INSIST NOTHING MORTAL!" Red shouted with a demonic voice "That will be my answer and you will relay it",

Suddenly Red clapped once more and everything reversed. He was back at his room, still laying with a sleeping Trivia at his side. The walls and ground of Savanna were the same beautiful sandstone as always and the sky was a pure blue with not a single cloud, or dragon, in sight. Red looked at the ceiling and sighed,

"Really? Now you wish to talk?",
