Nuyor the Doctor and Rodrim Payne sat in their respective chairs in the Council Chambers alone, taking a moment to just sit down and relax for a moment before they started to look through the numerous reports and paperwork that had been piled up on the tables before them; While normally the Council would use their own private offices for such things many of the issues that the reports spoke off would require the attention of the Council in order to be dealt with; Tork had briefly left in order to arrange transportation for the Andinon engineers that would be arriving in Tushienia to instruct Ponder's and his underlings how to apply their knowledge of controlled flight in a practical way, finally providing Tushienia with the ground work for an air force.

They hadn't even built their first airship yet and Ponder's was already making plans to work out how to build them so that they could be armed with cannons. 

Vaewith the Renovator had also briefly left in order to give a speech to inspire the population; The announcement that Tushienia was currently at the head of the so called 'Alliance of Northern Nations' last month had filled their nation with pride, but the announce that two more nations had both signed up was predicted to raise moral to brand new heights. 

Uzereda Nightshade had simply gone off to get a cup of coffee and something to eat for himself and the two liches while the other two members of the Council were out. While they were long past the need to eat in order to maintain themselves, sometimes a tasty little treat was more then welcomed.  

Turning to his ally for over two centuries, Rodrim Payne would have legitimately smiled if his face wasn't already fixed in that position due to being a skull. "[color=662d91]Nuyor, did you ever think that we would be here back when we first met all those years ago?[/color]" 

Nuyor turned to look at Rodrim, his gaze thoughtful for a moment before he answered "Truthfully? No. Back when we founded Tushienia I believed the most likely outcomes to have either been our destruction by outside forces or us taking over northern Alria and establishing an Empire. I confess that if it wasn't for the seemingly endless tide of monsters coming in from the East, odds are that [i]we[/i] would have been the unstoppable army that everyone was gathering together to combat." 

Rodrim couldn't help but chuckle a little at that. "[color=662d91]True enough. It's strange how somethings turn out sometimes; Now all we need to do is win this war and all those narrow minded fools who cast us out because we practiced Necromancy will be forced to sing our praises. [/color]" 

There was silence for a moment as both liches thought about this mental image; Uzereda returned to find them both laughing hysterically.
