Asked a female voice "Yes I am almost positive, I'm an decent historian but many of the royal scribes have double checked and triple checked their history and accuracy. I have no doubt in our scribes' proficiency" responded the Colonel. "So how does this make me want to to establish a temporary truce with my enemy? Please do explain this to me Colonel Lightning Strike!" The female demanded! "Queen Xellie, please let me explain!" Lightning strike pleaded. "Please do, because you are asking me to force a damn truce with Kiniro! So there better be a damn good reason!" The Queen yelled. "The original grand army formed by Tristam the First, that imprisoned Satan Morroc under the City of Morroc, was aided by the original bard that was able to play the song of Ragnarok." "So how does this explain me allying with Kiniro?" "I'm getting to that... Here" Lightning Strike pulled out a very weathered book. "This is the private journal of King Tristam the First. Dated here on the 26th of March. If not for my dear friend Aldo, the bard, not only our Kingdom but I fear the entire world would have succumbed to fire from the great Satan Morroc. I only wish that we had a body to bury for this very noble bard's funeral." "Again so?" "That means that the story of the original bard to play the song of Ragnarok fought along side the King during that battle! As where historians state that the first to attempt this song and succeed perished due to being unable to control it! That means that history was hidden from the world!" "Ok so Kiniro can play the song of Ragnarok, we know this because of his so called 'triumph' ending the Midgard Civil War." "Exaclty, we know that a bard who played the song of Ragnarok had a purpose in imprisoning Satan Morroc, if we can not defeat it, at least we can imprison it again with Kiniro's help." "I don't have to like this, but I do have to agree with your logic Colonel of the Royal Guard." "I know Kiniro can do this, I believe in him, he's a good friend from back during the Civil War." "That's excellent... perhaps once this is over, we can lure him and finally remove that pest." The Queen explained. "I will do no such thing, I will not allow you to hurt my friend my 'Queen.'" Lightning Strike rose his voice. "I know where I can find him and you need my help to locate him, but I will not be apart of any plan to hurt my friend." "You will do as you're told Colonel!" The Queen shouted. "I will only find Kiniro and deliver him to defeat this beast, after our victory, consider my resignation, because I will not follow such a horrid queen such as yourself! I am only doing this to help save our world, not to serve you, you disgusting bitch." Lightning strike spat at the floor in front of the queen and them stormed out of the throne room.
