Protectors of Pandora

Chapter 15 ~the plan~

Sir Charles unrolled a map of the ice queen’s lair, it was a ravine that led into a tunnel, (ice wyvern trench on fjordur sorta) there were heavy defenses along the ravine, walls, troops, ballistas and even a few cannons. “Well, we aren’t getting in that way..” Ron said, “any other way in?” “Yes over here.” Sir Charles said pointing to a spot on the map. “That’s just a frozen river though.” “Actually there’s a frozen waterfall here, behind it is a tunnel that leads right into the royal kitchen.” “So.. here?” Ron pointed to the spot on the map indicating the kitchen, “yes, but the tunnel narrows down as you go, only really small creatures could fit through there.” Sir Charles said. “Hmm. And from there were would we go.” Ron asked. “You’ll have to go along this tunnel and down the stairs to the dungeon.” Sir Charles said, tracing the path with his paw. “sounds easy enough.” Ping said. “Yes sounds easy, but the tunnel, and the dungeon will be guarded.” Richard said. “No it won’t, the guards will be rushing to the ravine.” Ron said. “Why would they do that?” Evelyn asked. Ron looked around the room, “Because you guys are gonna attack it.”

“Your majesty, the tax collectors say the animals are getting restless.. several have refused to pay up, I am worried an attack may be imminent.” An ice wyvern said, the ice queen looked at her minion. “Well then.. we better be prepared, hmm?” “Yes your majesty I will alert the troops.” “Oh! And have you found any more of that strange metal?” “No ma’m it’s very rare you see.” The queens eyes glowed cyan with anger. “WE- I mean, I, need more! Find it!!” “Of course your majesty!”
