Take over

583 Words
(Sorry this took so long, I havent had time to continue.)  The following morning I have the troops meet me in the training ground behind the castle. Many of them are still hung over from the party. "All right men! At attention!" Clement yelled from the head of the field. The troop turns to attention and line up in formation. Five rows of 10 soldiers each stood before us in their human forms. "As you know our Queen has called for emergency training this morning. Give her your full attention!" I stand in front of Clement and give a quick nod for him to step down and join the troop. "As you may have heard, I plan on taking over all of Brim." I hear them shuffle uncomfortably, but they never took their eyes off me. I clear my throat and continue. "My take over is not due to greed, but is being done to bring peace and harmony to our people. Even though we are different clans, we are still Dragons!" The troop cheers and claps in agreement. I give Clement a wave of my hand and he gives out a whistle to signal the troop to start 1 V 1 hand to hand combat. They rush into their pairs that have been assigned since they were recruited and begin their fights. Each of my men and woman specialize in a form of physical combat and have the basics of the others. Clement walks the grounds correcting movements, defense, and offense tactics. I follow behind studying each person and memorizing their movements. I begin to think of a battle strategy hoping I will not have to implement them. "They seem to be fighting as if their lives depended on it." Clement whispers in my ear. I sigh. "They might be... It depends on how my plan unfolds." I hear him huff at my reply. "No clan will be fool enough to challenge the Queens army. You might even find your destined in one of them." He shrugs as I glare at him. "You know very well I do not need a destined. A lover will only distract) me and get in my way." I begin to head to the war room to the side of the training grounds. I stare at the map of Brim and the clan territories. "It would be best to start with those further away an work back to the castle. That would allow us to apply pressure from both sides of some of the large clans." I mumble to myself deep in thought. I stayed there for hours trying to figure out the best way to complete my plan with as little to no bloodshed as possible. I marked the clans I knew had more non-warrior females and hatchlings with my pink highlighter and the male heavy with my red highlighter. If we had to use force, I wanted no women or hatchlings harmed or even touched. They are born into clans. Unlike the warriors and men, they don't get a choice on where they make home. That law will be gone once clans are abolished and we are all one. I smile at this thought and felt my chest get hot from excitement. Clement walks in and i notice the sun has set and the troop was starting to leave. "The troop is in top shape. What would you like us to do next?" I feel a grin spread across my face. "We go to war."
