Lord Kora graced the chair Sabre had offered. As he waited for the King his mind went back to the fondest of times before the then Prince was abducted. The fifth had thought by taking the Prince the tenth would crumble. His eyes sadden when news of Sabre's father passed. It was a harrowing time. Master Zenethor, General Abrion, and Abigor had kept them together. Until the death of General Abrion, another sad day. Too much loss...
Kora held the book in awe. "This is rae King Sabre. I...I...Thank you." He stood and in a momentarily loss of their titles, they were just the two young demons from a while ago having fun. He embraced and kissed both cheeks. Just a peck on each one. A friendly gesture of affection. "Thank you my King. I am sure there will be. You are most kind."
He sat again as the food and drink arrived. Once the wine was poured Kora raised his glass to Sabre and toasted him.
"King Sabre. I have begun to put together the tenth's legions of spells. I gathered as many documents and it is coming together nicely. I think you will be pleased, it is a mere tribute to all your past research as well. I did not know that your grandfather was such an amazing sorcerer. He would have been a demon worth knowing." His conversation was light. Kora wanted to enjoy this time. It was one of the few things he did that was just for pleasure. Researching spells and putting spell history together was a passion. One he loved discussing with the King all those years ago.
Abigor immediately put the gifts away. Frist he needed to speak with Sabre and Kora. Gather up a few demons, one being Lord Warrens, then he would pack and head off. He first went to the King's private wing and was told he left with Lord Kora. Abigor smiled, he figured he knew where they went.
There was a knock on the door, Abigor announced himself. Waited until the King allowed him to enter. "Excuse me my King, Lord Kora. If I may interrupt. I have come for Master Zenethor's study and would like to discuss a few things with both of you."
He waited for both demons before he continued. "I would like Lord Kora to be your personal guard when I am not able to be my King. Will this please you?" Abigor hoped this would please the King, maybe settle him. Master Zenethor was right. Kora was much better than a new face.
