'''WIZ!Â '''

'''As you know, I am (infrequently and imperfectly) reposting P.D....Â '''

'''And I have reached one of your Chapters, "Doom" Â In it, you write Matthias as with a bit of attitude. I was wondering if you'd like to repost it, or give me permission, to edit it to include references to "Rise of the Traitor"???Â '''

'''I only ask, because I see an opportunity. Nothing more. Take these chances, for example:'''

âWhat happened?â asked the king worried.




âSome Knights just came bringing a very important prisoner, your Majesty!â the guard responded.




âWho is the prisoner?â Mattias kept asking to learn the whole story.




âLord Vladek, your Majesty!â the guard replied.




âLORD VLADEK! And what do you wait?! Put him in the worst cage we have!â Mattias answered with mixed feelings of joy and anger.




âYes, your Majesty!!!â said the guard and left.




The people started discussing about this, but the king requested silence to listen to the rest of the âreportsâ. Yet, not much time had passed until another man came. This time he was no guard, but actually a soldier.




âWho are you?â the king asked with concern.




âNuncius, your Majesty! From the sixth battalion of the North, your Majesty!â the soldier responded.




âAnd why are you here?â Mattias inquired.




âThey sent me as a messenger, your Majesty!â the soldier replied.




âDonât they have any carrier pigeons in the North?â the king wondered out loud.




âThey were scared away, your Majesty!â




âBy whom? Tell me your message!â




âBy the Aquilones, your Majesty! They crossed the northern borders and crashed our army there! People are in panic! Theyâve sent me to ask you what to do, your Majesty!â




âTHE AQUILONES!!! WE HAD A PACT OF NOT ATTACKING EACH OTHER!!! Leave! All of you! This needs thinking!â...



'''[......]'''



âWHAAAAAT???!!!â King Mattias shouted âWHAT THE BRICK COULD THAT BRICKY VLADEK WANT ME FOR???!!!â

Â Â Â Â The guards, shocked by the so inappropriate for a king expressions, didnât answer immediately.

Â Â Â Â âWe donât know, your Majesty! He just asked to meet you, your Majesty!â said the guard that was on the front.

Â Â Â Â âLead me to him!â the king ordered regaining his composure.

Â Â Â Â They left the Throne Hall and after walking through many hallways, they reached the dungeons of the castle. There, in the deepest in the earth cell Vladek was waiting.

Â Â Â Â âHello, my Lord! I was expecting you!â he said.

Â Â Â Â âWhat do you want Vladek?!â Mattias inquired impatiently.

Â Â Â Â âWhy are you so angry, your Majesty?!â responded Vladek pretending to be insulted âI just want to help you!â

Â Â Â Â âYeah, right! Some days ago you wanted to destroy us and now you want to help! For some reason I donât believe you!â Mattias told him.

Â Â Â Â âYour Majesty, after being beaten by your army, I realized that you are the greatest King! And I know that when you find the greatest King you must truckle to himâ Vladek explained.

Â Â Â Â âI had enough of this nonsense! I am leaving!â exclaimed the king angrily.

Â Â Â Â âThatâs a shame! And I was ready to offer you help with the Aquilones!â said Vladek smiling.

Â Â Â Â The King stopped and turned around. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 

Â Â Â Â âWhat do you know about that?â asked the King surprised.

Â Â Â Â âEverything! The news are spreading fast even in prison!â Vladek answered self-complacently.

Â Â Â Â The king didnât say anything, but didnât leave either. He was very surprised, but also curious. Since Mattias wasnât speaking Vladek talked:

Â Â Â Â âYou mustnât wait them to come here and siege your castle. It has been very weakened by all these battles and they will get in, before you realize it. You must go to open battle against them. That will surprise them and you will give them a lesson. They must pay for what they did!â Vladek said.

Â Â Â Â âThatâs enough Vladek. You canât deceive me! And I thought for one second you might actually propose something that would help!â the King said and left. However, Vladek smiled evilly and the words of the King did not disappoint him.

Â Â Â Â However, the words of Vladek kept bothering the Kingâs mind for much until he told to one of his generals:

Â Â Â Â âGeneralDux! Prepare the army for battle. They will ride to the North!â

Â Â Â Â âYour Majesty, surely you donât trust Lord Vladek!â the general asked.

Â Â Â Â âOf course not, Dux! But his words had some truth in them. We must teach Aquilones a lesson!â

Â Â Â Â âBut in that way weâll leave the castle without army!â

Â Â Â Â âGeneral, youâve heard of the victory of the Knights of the Olde Speech against thedude two days ago! Thedude is probably smashed and even if his army keeps working without him, they need many days to gather again and even more days to find the courage to attack againâ

Â Â Â Â âBut-â

Â Â Â Â âI want no buts! Just do this!ââ¦

'''I see a great chance to improve the writing. Â Let me know if you feel the same. Or perhaps it should stay the way it is, to preserve the roots. Â I can respect that too. Anyone?'''
