The banner flew high, the royal seal of a serpentine body with a lion head, large feathered wings and taloned paws like a bird's feet. That was Zoola, the True dragon that Knouckbeth had destroyed in order to make the entire universe (according to weredragon beliefs, anyway.) and grasping Zoola's neck with a dagger pointed between her eyes was the weredragon goddess of fire, Knouckbeth herself. The flags, or banners, themselves were blue crossed with gold through the center.
King Axel rode ahead with a large, heavily musceled body guard on either side of him. A mask covered his face, the mask was like a modern helmet-mask all you could see beyond the face guard of the helmet-like mask was two large, almost deathly violet eyes. His white stallion was his mount as he rode on, the bodyguards flanking him on either side on large horses, just large enough to hold their weight. Finally, they reached their destination. There must've been over 3,000 soldiers, each one capable of unknown power and might.
"This will do nicely, men." he called behind him to his soldiers. They nodded, and got to work, beginning to build the new castle. "The last castle was a great fortress at one point, I shall build another, and mine will be greater, stronger, more beautiful than any before..." He said to his advisor, who was watching for a moment before saying "It will take many more men, my lord..." "Yes, yes I suppose it will... You There!" About ten soldiers walked up to him. "Yessir?" "Go and gather up some human slaves, the strongest you can find... don't tell them they will be slaves if they do a good job, just tell them they will live alongside me when they finish building my castle... Along with all these soldiers helping them as well, the castle should be built in no more than a year or two..."Axel said, smirking a bit.
