Dakota sat by Nim, smiling gently at him. Roman nodded when the bear spoke, "yes, that is what we are here to discuss." He said, "We want to work out a few deals to form an alliance of sorts."

The bear huffed, not looking too content, but Ghorban said "We should make sure to have good battle strategy soon. Fiends from the army are sure to arrive at our doorsteps soon."

Roman nodded, "I have already started the recruitment and intensive training so that my kingdom will actually be able to pull it's weight during battle. We may be small but we're fighters." He said.

The bears and satyrs nodded, the lead satyr saying "And we will be providing what we can for medical help along with fighters." They would definitely need it.

Roman nodded in thanks towards the satyr. He then said, “and as you know, the guides will be providing us with knowledge and guidance throughout this, so we will be able to further plan as the battle goes on.” He looked towards Uma as she spoke, “Olgrin is not one to come with weak backup. We should be expecting the worst.” She said simply, “we will need every man and woman to at least train to be ready to defend themselves.”

Nim then said "We mustn't push them too hard though, lest we eventually beat a dead horse." He then looked as Alma said "They'll have to work hard, but no we won't push them or else they won't be as alert when actual trouble comes."

Roman nodded in agreement before looking to the other leaders, “now, how about we work out the terms and conditions of our alliances?” He said, wanting to hear what they wanted first so he could see about needing to counter them or not.

The satyrs and bears nodded in agreement, and that was when the other family reps showed up, being let into the room by guards. "I sure hope you've already started discussing ways to fight these fiends," one of the centaurs said.

“We were just about to get to that.” Roman said, “but as of now we need to know the terms of peace. A rocky alliance will never get us far.this will go in hand with our strategizing.”

The bears grunted, Ghorban saying "Well, honestly I don't understand why the Waterways or the Vinnards are here. They broke their own Artifacts. Who's to say that they're not spying right now?"

"If there are any snakes we will deal with them." Uma assured them. "they both have the right to sit at this table unless you of course want to be on your own for this way, which would not be wise." she told him.

The bears looked amongst themselves, and a centaur said "It is unwise to openly trust either of them after what has happened, because where there was one snake, there are more." The otters and satyrs looked offended, an otter saying "And what about you lot?" That was when Alma rubbed her temple, looking over at Roman as if to say that this meeting was going to be difficult.

Roman grumbled, looking to Alma with an understanding look. He then looked to the others, “everyone settle down before things really get out of hand!” He said, “the whole purpose of this meeting was to make peace with one another, not to point fingers, alright?” He said, “so please, peace with you all.”
Uma then decides to speak up saying, “Olgrin was targeting all of the artifacts. If the other guides and I didn’t stop him, he would have taken over one of each house to do his dirty work. They weren’t snakes as far as we know, but rather a form of puppets.” She said, though she wasn’t positive if all this was true.

Nim then said "If there are snakes, they'll be found out eventually." The families didn't look too happy still, but at least they had quieted down.

“Thank you, your Greatness.” Roman said with a nod of his head, just glad they finally decided to quiet down, “now, can we get back to negotiating and strategizing, or are you going to keep fighting like children?” He asked, though he wasn’t expecting a response. “Good. Now, where were we?”

The satyrs spoke up, saying "Well, we may need some help to faster collect some of our herbs, as well as accompanying us to travel farther for herbs we can't easily access." That was when the otters said "We can send help if we can have access to the rivers passing through there."

Roman also nodded, “I can also set out some groups to help you as well.” He offered, “where do you usually get your herbs?” He asked, maybe they could provide shortcuts through the outskirts of their territory.

The same satyr said "Far north of here, closer to the mountains. And there's a collection of beehives a ways out from our land, but lots of bandits too. We need the honey though."

“Well, we’ll be there to provide some protection for your groups.” Roman said. “As for us, we just want solid allies and protection for our people. We are small, so we will be the easiest target.” He looked to Alma, “my queen also has some requests.”

Alma nodded a little. "No real request per say, just that everyone try to be there for each other, that groups be ready to provide aid, because if we don't have that team mindset then we will all-" She blinked as a guard came scrambling in, the guard saying "There are some odd creatures at the edge of the capitol, waiting to meet with your majesties."

Roman blinked at the sudden interruption. Once he heard the message he stood, his expression calm, "thank you for alerting us." He gestured for Alma. As he approached the guard, "did they say where they came from or their purpose here?" He asked. Uma also got up and moved to join Roman and Alma.

The guard said "They didn't, but they look like a nasty lot." The families started talking amongst themselves, the bears saying "We should attack them!"

Roman held up a hand to silence them, “we don’t know if they come with malicious intent. Looks aren’t everything. I am going to talk to them using caution, and I will by no means let them inside the gates.” He said, “but I will not act with aggression right away. Now that you all know that, kindly stay within the castle until we return. We should hopefully not be too long.” He said, trying to take some sort of control and responsibility, but he wasn’t sure if that would work out in the end.

Alma had already volunteered to accompany Roman and the guards that were going. She wasn't going to let him go without her even if they had the advantage. "I have a bad feeling about this," she said softly.

Roman only responded with a deep breath and a small nod. He kept his face neutral though, “let’s just.. be prepared for anything.” He said as they left the room.

As the group went to the spot out of the capitol, the very edge, there was a large group of creatures. Hybrids, goblins, unidentifiable ones and more. One of the scaly creatures stepped up, saying "Something happened on your land that produced something. Something we want retuned to us."

Roman stopped, narrowing his eyes a little, “why does that bring you here? We are not willing to provide help to other groups we don’t know of at the moment. I’m afraid you are out of luck.”

The creatures scoffed and sneered. "You see, we aren't really giving much of a choice. You return our king, or we will fight for him, foolish human."

Roman raised an eyebrow, "we don't have your kind. Never did, and we most likely never will." He said simply, "I suggest you look somewhere else, lowlife." He snapped.

The creatures snickered and hissed amongst themselves. "You underestimate us, human. No matter. If you want to be stubborn, then fine. You have three moons to return him to us, in whatever state he is in, or else we will declare war. Simple as that."
