Alphis watched the battle from high on his tamed drake.  The creature brought fear with it making all but the stoutest hearted quail in fear at it mere presence.   Staring down he laughed as his troops easily breached the walls of the city.  The walls had kept out some of the greatest armies the world had ever known but with the aid of his black magic his men easily overwhelmed them.  The moved quickly taking defenders down quickly, flowing over the city like a black cloud.  Soon the only thing that held them back was the keep itself.  Made with magic from times long forgotten even his magic empowered soldiers could not breach it.  the magic had to be over overpowered by him directly, and he knew just the place.<br/><br/>After all he had played in this keep as a child he knew everything about it as well as where the two girls that he was after would be.  With a simple thought he guided the beast up toward the platform at the top of the keep used by the kings and queens of Thrisis for generations as a place to lead any siege from. It was protected by the most powerful magic shield ever made and was said to be able to withstand anything.  He would see about that, pulling his mask down he came level with the platform looking for the two queens he had come for, his sisters.
