The moment Cardonis noticed that something was amiss, he burst into the room with a sword in one clawed hand, and a small inferno enveloping the other. He did not expect to see a large wraith in the main entrance however, and was slightly taken aback. The half-dragon quickly regained his wits though, and ran to the side of his queen.<br/>When the creature finished it's transformation and declared itself as Dardanos, Cardonis' hand clenched around his sword. He would not let this madman harm a hair on Eira's head. So when the dark king addressed her, he grew even more tense (if that was possible) and let out a deep threatening growl.<br/><br/>-----------------------------------------------<br/><br/>Tore stood wide eyed at Dardanos. It did little to comfort him when the apparition said that it was incapable of attacking, as it still had an air of malice about it. The fact that he could stand up to King Axel, the most imposing mountain of a being here without so much as flinching frightened the prince. However, he was not going to simply back down and let Dardanos tread all over them.<br/><span style="color: #FF4000">"One does not simply 'own the world' Dardanos. Only a madman thinks like that!"</span>Tore shouted.<span style="color: #FF4000">"And what gives you the right to think so? You who would tear down the lives of every living being. You who would decimate all in your path till you rule over nothing but ash! <br/>"This fight is not beyond us. We can and will defeat you."</span><br/>It was only once Tore had finished his rant that he realized that he may have done a very foolish thing. Yes, he spoke what he believed to be true, but he had most likely just made himself a target. Something his bodyguards seemed to realize as they drew closer to their prince.
