“ So you are playing a death game? Roayan”
“ Yes sir!”
A man in grey sat on a small stood in the middle of the woods with absolutely nothing in sight other than the occasional tree but in his hand was a stone and in that stone was a image of the man with a golden robe called Roayan “ Well… if that is how you think we should go about this it ok but don’t forget I need someone. It doesn’t matter if you don’t like the victors I need 25 test subjects by the start if next mouth.”
“ It will be done lord” a voice called out from the rock. It sounded like Roayan but different slightly distorted in nature. Grey believed that to be fine considering that the rock was a device made to send information quickly and made revolutionary in almost all fields. The only problem was that the rock was expensive and no one but Grey understood how it worked or how to make them. Grey once tried to teach someone but unlike them Grey has 6000 years worth of knowledge ahead of just about anybody else. “ So grey any outstanding individuals?”
The man in gold smiled and answered “ We have a psycho and ninja and a child.”
“ Didn’t you tell me there was a ginger” Grey asked
“ Dead sir. The child on the other hand is quite impressive. He has already cut his way through a large portion of the map and found some food. Unlike what I expected he has made some traps.
The psycho is similar but he had a slow start where he used someone, another child in fact to create a distraction allowing him target and remove the charismatic people in one go then he ran ahead of her down the right path. He stood in the shadows just out of her view and waited for her to move and after she went down the same path as him he waited for her to pass himself I believe to use her as a trap bait in a sense hoping she would trigger the traps. She triggered one and is nose disoriented and walked into a wall what he will do here is unknown but I doubt their is anyone with the ability to gather and lead anyone, anywhere, anymore.
And the ninja was the first one in and has covered the second most amount of distance their was another who made more distance than him but was hit in the neck with a poison dart. And there's nothing outstanding so far about the rest.”
Grey nodded “ Keep me informed on the situation.”
“ Will do my lord” Roayan

“ Oh and he 51 slave? What of him”
“ A kill count of 12 within three hours”
“ And Roayan don’t forget what I ask of you.” Grey
Roayan flinched at this statement “ I will never forget what you have asked of me my lord. I will show you strength.”
Grey nodded. And the image of Roayan faded away and Grey turned his attention to a tree to his left “Am I so pretty Red that you need to watch me constantly. In the shadows when you can share a seat inseat my love.”
“ Ho ho ho how cocky. You are so sure of your appearance I cannot say that ocean sized snakes can be that popular with women I must be mistaken.”
A Reds figure appeared before Grey. She smiled and bowed before raising her head to watch Grey giggle at her actions. Grey spoke next “ How did it go?”
Red came over and sat on Grey's lap despite the stool having enough room for two. She lean back deeply into grey. “ I gather all the important people in one big room. They look at me in such a way I am sure you kind you would have been appalled by it … such fear … such greed, then they all started to look at me funny after I said “ I am going on vacation for 1 month. Oh how they cried and cried that I couldn’t do that. And how they all look like I kicked a small kitten to death when I said why not. It was very funny. They just stood there with their mouths open waiting for me to do something while others looked me like I was mad and the smart one as people call them just scoffed and then slowly the fear returned to their faces. What is she playing at here or what is she after was the question deeply rooted in their eyes. And then I just left. It was a good experience for me. I bet their all killing each other now. Then I will return and then it will be all orderly and in time corruption will arise before we fall into chaos where the corruption is purged or at least weaken only to grow back again for a new time. I have governed my nation for thousands upon thousands of years now and yet this is all that has happened.
Order then corruption then chaos and Order ”
“ Well… look on the bright side. Also time takes things but what is important is that the order comes back.” Grey added after she was done. “ You have me right.”
“ That is right oh how privileged I am to have you with me. But in all honesty I could sit like this for awhile. So tell me what nefarious plan do you have today Grey?”
“ Well I was going to have a nap but I don’t think that is the answer you are after.”
Red flicked her chin up in approval before saying
“ You really sleep to much. It can’t be help but still. You like sleeping too much.”
Grey moans “ You need to sleep more. It’s true.”
Red simply scoffs and to which grey replies “ It's all the same with you, human or elves the second I threaten your hurbress you go crying false, so we will do nothing accept laze around and talk with each other. We will get bored but we will grow by speaking of the why I am wrong and if at the end of the mouth you haven’t enjoyed yourself or found benefits by this I will let you drag me to your boxed visoned court Red.”
Red look amused at this. Long has she tried to drive Grey into the nation she has ruled. She anticipates her own imaged predetermined victory and smiles at this. She is unable to imagine that all Grey sought was for her to take a rest and to the surprise of both parties she soon falls into a deep sleep in Greys embrace. Gery smiled down he had recently realised that he will help Red out some more. He didn’t really want to be dragged in but for Red he would do anything. She was his love and the reason his heart was still beating.
