Four races are at war
Four members can stop it
Only then can peace be restored
_____________________________

Taranus slouches into the 'meeting hall'. He had no intention on meeting the only other three who were against the war. It could be an ambush they are the other three different races in this war. He sits down on a tree stump and straightens his ruffle. "Alright let's just do this" he mumbles

Barik was sitting on the other side of the table and was drinking from a mug of beer. As the orc sat down Barik slammed the mug on the table, exhaled relieved and said to him a little tipsy "Aye, are you that orc I was supposed to meet here? You sure took your time, I've been waiting a long time.". After he said that he took the mug and made a big swig from it while he was waiting for the orcs answer.

Taranus snarls at the dwarf "you got some cheek midget watch your mouth!" He pulls one of his knifes "I'm lord taranus where are the others?

The dwarf put down the mug and responded unimpressed "And you should learn to keep your calm. I neither do know where the others are and by the way my name is Sir Barik Flintlock. Most of the people just call me Barik but you can call me Barik". Then he took another sip from his mug.

Taranus picks his teeth with his knife "so dwarf Barik you have any idea where they could be cause I reckon they're being tortured and pour me a pint would ya'?" He smiles grandly

Nero arrived at meeting hall and before he went in he told the others that were with him. "Keep an eye out for any of those rouge groups, we don't want them ruing this." The other werewolves all split up. Nero then entered the room and saw the other two sitting there. Nero sat in a middle seat and said "I half expecting you not to show up Lord Taranus."

Taranus bangs the table "ah Nero Nero sit down this is Barik now where's that elf huh? We're waiting"

As Nero entered Barik said tipsy "Pleased to meet you Nero", then Barik took another sip of his mug of beer.

Taranus groans "where's elf the...elf then? Oh Nero why did you I'd not turn up."

Anvanya rode up to the meeting hall and jumped gracefully down from her horse, tying to mare to a post before patting her head and walking inside. She looked around, noting that she was the last to arrive. She made her way over to a seat and sat down gracefully. "I'm terribly sorry I made you wait." She said in a voice that sounded like bells ringing, giving them all an apologetic smile.

Barik once more slammed his mug on the table and said "No worries, it's better you arrive later then never, y'know? Aaaalright, so what are the plans". The dwarf somehow was sober again and looked at the other people in the room.

Nero said "well it doesn't matter now that everyone is here." Nero then said "now let's get to the task at hand"

Taranus bangs his fist on the table "I'll tell ya our task at hand this darn war everyone's dying but
The question is" he half smiles and pauses for effect "how to stop it any ideas anybody? Corse none of em' will be as good as mine!"

Nero Leaned back and said "let me guess a four way battle to the death and to the victor goes the four kingdoms, thanks but I think I'd rather hear what the elf or dwarf have in mind"

(I want to get some tension going in this)

Barik scratched his beard as he was thinking of an idea. "Hmm, basically I thought one of you already had some sort of a plan when I decided to get here but well. Lemme think lemme think...". After some time of thinking he finally he flicked with his fingers, then he continued "Ok, I've got two ideas. First, you know you could equate war to business. You pay for something so you get something and in the end it's all about money, morals and stuff. What if suddenly an unknown power rises, which is strong and thretens all four kingdoms, they would need to form an alliance to defeat them. Of course I am not talking about freeing some demons or stuff like that because I don't think they exist and also I don't want the four kingdoms get wrecked by those demons."
Barik made a short brake before he continued with a serious face "My second thought was and I am not really in favor of the idea but special times require special actions. Putsching the leaders of the four nations and either have one of us take their place or someone who is on our side or easy to manipulate. BUT, keep in mind if we do this we might have to kill friends who once were close to us... of course we would have to putsch all four leaders at the exact same time, if it takes too long we might not achieve our goal...". As the dwarf finished telling his ideas he looked at the three others sitting at the table, but soon after he took his mug again saying "But those are just some ideas which were floating in my head~".

Nero said "after hearing those ideas a fight to the death probably wouldn't be a bad idea"

Anvanya glanced around at the other three before turning her attention to Nero. "But does it have to end in death? Is there no peaceful way of settling this? Hasn't there been enough fighting as it is?" She asked in a soft voice.

Nero said "If you have a better idea then let's hear it."

Taranus stands up " there's a better idea alright we become rebels, outlaws if you will! We will strive for peace and never stop fighting until we win! Or a fight to the death that was an amazing idea Nero." He sits down and smiles arrogantly " look elf I understand ya point but peace will get us nowhere and may not end I death!"

"But isn't that what we are striving for? Peace? Isn't death the reason we are here in the first place? How can we have peace if we will do nothing but fight?" She asked in a soft voice, glancing around at them.
