James, Kate, and Syrris made their way back to the council. The only one present was Seileen. The youngest, yet a very clever problem solver, historian, and studies many languages.

"Seileen!" Syriss yelled in a nervous tone.

"Oh hey! I didn't expect you two to return any time soon. Any good news?" Seileen asked.

Kate spit James out, and setting him on the ground.

"Just the opposite. Hell is comming!" James said in a cold grim tone.

What!? I thought you two went to get the artifact so we can destroy it.

"We did, and almost succeeded. But the blade was guarded by some malevolent dwarven god. I don't recal his name. I believe it began with an E." James said

"Elek you mean? Damn it!" Seileen screamed in fustration.

"As I tried to grab the blade it disappeared in black flames and it vanished. We barely escaped with our lives." James explained

"You mean you barely escaped with your life." Syrris rhetorted

Where is Korak? Kate asked

He and the others are scattered around looking for that artifact still. It'd take weeks to find them, Seileen said.

"Fuck!!!" James screamed in fustration as he threw down his machine gun.

"What are you going to do, James?" Seileen asked.

"Kate and I will take my men near that portal we saw. if anything comes through, We'll hold them off as long as we can. But you'd need to come as fast as possible. I cannot promise winning this battle without all of dragonkind fighting. We saw the portal 600 miles east of here. its incredibly hard to miss. Syrris, tell the dwarves of what you seen. Is there any human villages at least on speaking terms with dragons?"

"There are a few that see me as a friend. Once I rally the council, I'll try to get them to join the battle. Seileen said

"Sounds good to me, you all agree?" James asked.

"Yes", said the three dragons standing before James.

"Good... Kate, lets go to the ships." James said.

Syrris flew off to Calgora once again so she can tell the Dwarves of this war. Seileen went in search for council members, While James and Kate flew off to be the first to meet hell itself on the battlefield.

Kate and James made their way to the ships, Jacob was the first to se James.

"Hey James you're alive!" He said in excitement.

"Probably not for long. And that one goes for all of us. The portal is open, war is among us. Gather everyone and all men in the ships. You'll be fallowing me and Kate To where the portal is". James said

Jacob nodded and went to do what James said. Kate nuzzled James. He gave a weak smile, and rubbed her forehead.

"James, to be honest, I'm scared". Kate said.

"So am I Kate... So am I". James replied

"You don't look scared though". Kate said

"When you've lived a life of war, you're always scared. Yet you master a way of hiding your fear. So no one can see it in your face, or even sense it in your voice". James said.

"Ha! You didn't do a good job hiding it when you and I first met. Kate said in a joking tone.

"I thought if I didn't allow you to see me afraid, you'd take me as a fool and kill me. Not to mention I'm with my men. I cannot let them know I'm afraid. It would greatly demoralize them". James said

"You're no fool are you? Allowing me to see you scared for the sake of survival. I'd never think of that if I was in such a situation. And a good leader, knowing morale is important on a battlefield. Tell me, is there any hope we'll live after this?" Kate said

James looked around and saw no one was around. He kissed Kate's nose and said "there is always hope".

Jacob and the rest of the men where in the ships. All except Alex to came to say the men are ready. Kate placed James in her mouth, took a few experimental beats of her wings to signal James's men she is leading them to where the portal Is. Then Kate and James took to the shy with the ships fallowing them.

Syrris made the long flight from and to Calgora twice in one day. It was a very long flight, and she was very exhausted. She wanted to sleep then have the dwarves assemble for battle.

But she thought about her long time friend Kate, who she knew for 200 years. And her new friend, James who will be on the front lines of the battlefield sense Seileen is trying to gather the council and other dragons to fight. And she still has to get the dwarves ready for war. And the possibility of the war beginning before reinforcements for James and Kate arriving too late was a real possibility. She thought it through and realized there is no time to sleep.

Syrris told the dwarves about the news. The dwarves began drafting every able bodily man and woman the ages between 15, and 55 years of age. Syrris thought about it, not agreeing having 15 year olds join in battle sense they are still not considered adults. However, she thought about it and realized they too will be needed. The dwarven general told Syrris they'll be readunto march in the morning.

Segather finding the council members would take time that James and Kate didn't have. So she stopped by some human civilizations she knew as friends. She told them of the comming doom. They quickly sent out men already in military service to march. After that the villages where drafting, making more swords, bows, and arrows. The village leaders told Seileen that they'd continue till every main between 18-60 where battle ready. After that, knowing they'd be one of the first reinforcements, she took to the skies once again to find the elders.
