<strong>Two men play chess in the dark.</strong><br/><br/>The room was shadowed and the candlelight flickered, each time each time a move was made the hand or face seemed to come into view. One was a middle aged man, with dark eyes and short hair. He appeared average in appearance though his muscle structure seemed impressive. His gaze was cold and his hands showed signs of one that used melee weapons.<br/><br/>Whatever creature he was playing with could only be classed as monstrous, it had long claws and the skin of one that appeared to have leprosy huge fangs protruded from its mouth and its scabrous bald head was most unpleasant to gaze upon.<br/><br/>The spoke in Latin as each move was carefully planned. “There will be trouble Atticus…” The more human appearing of the two said as he moved his knight. “Indeed …. My general…my Governor.”  The monster in turn made his move, and continued, “My choice has been made I hope it has been arranged?”<br/><br/>“It has…So tell me do you think our …” there was a pause “Prince can deal with the situation?”<br/><br/>“I do hope the matter will be resolved. I find that when the wolves are involved we find ourselves attacked on all sides…which only makes it easier for outside attack.”<br/><br/>“John of course is taking advantage of the situation…”<br/><br/>“This is not good however not unexpected.”<br/><br/>“Lucius has returned too with his lady…we must make sure that she remains hidden from John.”<br/><br/>“What of Jack…”<br/><br/>“That I think is another matter…”<br/><br/>The two men continued with the game as they talked further.<br/>
