Chazz looked out from the balcony, the cool breeze catching his hair, blowing it behind him. He gripped the edge of the railing with almost enough force to break it. The burden of command weighed heavily upon him tightening its grip even more since Akane's departure.
One of the royal guardsmen approached Chazz and saluted. Chazz nodded and the masked soldier spoke, "My lord the Queen has passed beyond our sight. The vortex of storms in the area makes it impossible for us to continue to track her." Chazz already knew what the guardsmen had to say. She was beyond his sight. He swore to himself that he would never let her be in harms way again, but he could not disobey a direct order. It took all this strength not to run down to the airstrip and take the fastest flier and go after her. Yet, millions of people would be left leaderless and in this time, he could not leave. His insides churned he felt helpless he could not preform his most important duty, and on top of that he hated being in a position of absolute power. He had never told anyone, not even Akane. He hated power. The poison that fills the veins when subjects bow to you and put their lives in your hands. If it weren't for Akane, he would probably retire to a farm, and live out the rest of his days in peace. Yet, if it wasn't for what she saw in him that day, he would be dead.
The visions of the past came flooding in....."My lord? I was just informed Illum is on the move." Present awareness consumed Chazz as he looked over and said, "Where?" Chazz walked to the war room at a quick pace. Along the way his voice boomed orders to the men and women around him, "Summon the council. Prepare the enactment of article 7." His men moved quickly and by the time he reached to war room the entire council awaited him.
They all quickly stood up and saluted Chazz as he entered the room. "Status!" Chazz took his seat at the table, with a giant map of Asemon in the middle.
One of Chazz's generals spoke,"After Illum's exile it appears he has formed a mercenary army. Mostly naval based, and reports from the other continents is that he has been quite successful."
Chazz quickly spoke, "I've already heard that. What is new?" Another general stood up and motioned to the map. It appears that he has made landfall in the Desert plains with an entire fleet of warships, 40,000 troops, and subjugated pokemon. Also if the reports are to be correct, the Astrapi have paid him handsomely for his services. We do not know how large the Astrapi force is, but we can assume with Illum it swells to over a 100,000 strong. " The words did not phase Chazz he inspected the map, like he would a game of GO. Analyzing possible points of attack.
Chazz cleared his throat and spoke, " We can assume that if they do come to Celosia they will attack Pyron. We know how the Astrapi fight, they will attempt to cause destruction and unrest along the border regions to entice us to meet them head on. Yet, this will divert us from the main target...Pyron. I want our fleet to be in a defensive stance while also cutting off a diverted attack on any northern cities, here." Chazz pointed on the map. "Time is on our side...for now. We must prepare. Change all city, roads, and ports, to threat level 3. Call on all regional militias to begin running training exercised, and bulking up security with double the watches. " Chazz looked at the map, he knew his enemy well, but he wasn't a foolish man, he would prepare. He would not fail his queen, and finally he would finish what he started over a decade ago....
