Bruce walks back into the room, "It's all done sir. But, she wasn't home. We left the girl there." Skylark nods. "Sir, are you alright?"
Skylark looks at the man, "I'll be fine. I'm just thinking about everything. It is going to be very difficult to win this."
Bruce sighs heavily, "Sir, with all due respect, your men want to know you have faith in what you're doing. If you don't they don't. They need something to believe in. We will follow you to the ends of the world, but it would be nice to know it's not all on false hope. You saying it's going to be hard scares us."
Skylark ponders this, "I know, I know. We can do this, no we will do this."
Bruce nods and leaves the room. Skylark stands up and walks down the hall to the meeting room where everyone goes to plan an attack. He stands over the map in the center of the round, wooden table. Hagar is the fifth biggest land in region.
In order from largest to smallest was, Aznia, Morca, Lare, Kista, Hagar, Mona, and Della. In order to rule the whole region he would need to start with the smallest. The only reason he was able to get in so quickly and easily here was because they trusted him so easily.
There was no way Aldric and his people could be ready in the next day or so. He could try to take Della soon. But, he has to take into account their leader, Aaron. It won't take long to get to him. He can't defend himself from all Skylarks' men. He has no powers, which will make it easier.
North of Della is the Black Lands. No one who had ever gone in ever came out. Skylark had heard there were unspeakable dangers there. He turns away from the table and goes down the hall to his room. It is going to be difficult, but he would do it as if it were the easiest thing to do.
