Arkain can tell that Gold isn't really paying much attention to what hes saying.  Arkain can tell something else is controlling him. It seems more Gold doesn't care. Gold is more watching Wendy. Gold doesn't seem to consider him a threat but Wendy is a different story.  He knows that cane is carries a lot of power and Wendy knows how to wield it. This can be used to his advantage. He can tell Wendy is distracting him so he can set him up. He keeps himself to the opposite side of Gold to where Wendy is.<br/><br/>"Then ACT like a dragon. SHeeeshh!!  NOW GET OUT OF OUR WAY!"<br/>Arkain watches Gold  get into a defensive position making him drop into a defensive position.<br/>"If you force us, then we will do what ever is necessary."  He growls angerly.<br/><br/>He notices something odd about his arm movements. It looks like something is restraining them. He hears Gold and sees him covering his right eye. He gets whats going on. "Thats it Gold. Fight it."  He quickly looks at Wendy. "Quick Wendy we need to work together get him on his belly. Then try to use your magic to drive his dark side inside."  He runs hard in front of Gold coming from his blind side and with his fist clenched he drives his elbows deep into his ribs trying to knock the air out him. Then when Gold drops forward from the impact he leaps into the air spinning his body about then extending and snapping his tail about like a whip he brings it down hard on the back of Gold's neck. He drops back to the ground.<br/>"Now Wendy. Bring him down and I will try to hold him down."<br/>Arkain gets ready to pounce on Gold's back the second he hits the ground.<br/><br/>---------------------------<br/><br/>The king sits forward and nods with an cold evil grin. "Very interesting plan. I like it. You have my approval.  With there fighting skills, those three would make fine soldier in my army." His staff hits the ground and he points the crystal at the Succubus. You feel a strong surge of energy as the crystal glows. "You have your powers back. Do what you have to do to slow down those three as long as I see don't them any where near the castle. Understand?" He glares coldly at the Succubus. He sits back some. "As for my soon to be wife. Yesss, Spend some time with her. Coax her to co-operate. Do not damage her, at least make sure it can't be seen. She has to appear to be doing this on her own free will. The more co-operative she appears to the people, the easier it will be to bend them to our will.  Do this right succubus and there will be a seat at my side for you. Now leave me. I have to ready myself for my destiny to be fulfilled. "  He laughs loudly and sits back. The gem glowing lightly on the top of his staff..
