    "Which two armies are those?" Garalt said, ignoring the dragon's comment.
    "Those are the armies of Ikros and of the Council.  Your king Ulmerad seeks to destroy the Council for sending me to destroy his kingdom, and Zakar seeks to destroy Ikros for awakening me.  Isn't it grand?" the black dragon smiled with sadistic glee.
    "All over a misunderstanding..." Garalt said to himself.
    "I've been watching them for a good week now.  It grew to be quite boring to torch all the farmland around here, and watching man destroy himself, as he is so good at it, is much more entertaining."
    "Well, get your fill of it quickly, beast.  I've come to end your reign of destruction here and now." Garalt looked up into the eyes of the dragon.
    "Is that so?  Well then, if I had known someone so important as to be able to destroy me were to be visiting me today, I would have straightened up more."
    "Mock me if you must, but I WILL stop you, monster!"
    "You have determination, whelp, I'll give you that much.  But you have very little of anything else," the dragon said, baring her teeth.
    "I have more than you think, she beast.  I know your secret, I know you are mortal!"
    Tel'Karak Zrahl roared and snarled at the small knight before her.  She snapped her jaws and ground her teeth, but Garalt stood before her, unflinching.



    "You are nothing to me Garalt of Ikros!  You are but a worm!  Insignificant!!"  the dragon snarled.  Garalt was taken aback slightly at the thought she knew his name, but quickly decided that issue wasn't important.  Garalt looked up at the dragon and smiled.
    "So why are you now afraid and angry, Tel'Karak?  If I'm so insignificant, then why are you scared of me?"
    "Think what you like Garalt of Ikros, but you know not the consequences of my demise!"
    "Oh, but I do beast.  I know of your death pact with your siblings.  That is why I'm here to put you back in your long sleep.  But this time it will be permanent!"
    "Hah!" the dragon laughed, "I will never be put down to rest ever again.  You will have to kill me first!  You will either face me for the here and now, or you will suffer the chaos that will follow!"
    "Don't think it isn't so easy to bring you down, creature."
    "You underestimate my abilities, Knight,"
    Garalt smiled.
