Soren paced his office impatiently. Though he was normally quite a patient man, he was not in the mood for patience at the moment. There was a battle on the way! While normally that would have been cause for a good mood on Soren's part, he was very concerned. He had specific ... plans and goals that he wished to accomplish during this battle, but those would only work if things were going well. It had been too long since he'd last met with Rodrigo. However, at the same time a part of him was excited. This is what he excelled at. Making plans with one person and other plans with others. He loved having so many connections, so many options and reveled in the chance to manipulate people into doing what he wanted. It was moments like this when Soren felt invincible. That is, he'd feel invincible once he knew that his project was progressing nicely. If not ... someone was going to pay, and replacements would need to be found. He didn't think it would come to that. His soft alarm went off, alerting him that someone was approaching. It had to be Rodrigo. Soren moved and sat behind his desk, the image of patience. He didn't have to look as anxious as he felt, after all. Rodrigo Cabrera

Rodrigo strode quickly through the Knights of Purity headquarters. He had been summoned by the Grand Prior and knew better than to doddle. Everyone knew that when the Grand Prior asked for you, there was no wasting time. Normally, he would have been curious and perhaps feeling a little apprehension, wondering why the Grand Prior wanted to talk with him, but this time there was none of that. Rod knew exactly why he'd been summoned and he was excited. It wasn't long before he reached the Grand Prior's office. Steeling himself for whatever was to come, Rod raised his hand and knocked confidently on the door. Moments late, he heard a deep voice telling him to enter and he wasted no time. Pushing the door open, he glanced briefly at his surroundings. The place hadn't changed much since the last time he'd come here. Closing the door behind him, Rod walked to the Grand Prior and held his hand out in a customary Knight greeting, a handshake. "Sir, I received your message. What do you wish to discuss with me?" he asked humbly, though he was pretty confident he already knew. He just wanted his suspicions confirmed before he revealed his excitement about all he'd learned. SOREN KRAUSS

Soren shook Rodrigo's hand, pleased that the knight was so submissive. Humble was probably a better word for him, but Soren preferred submissive. He wanted all to defer to him, which Rodrigo did. That was one reason Soren chose him for the particular assignment. "Actually, I wanted to ask about your ... project," Soren said elusively, though he knew Rodrigo knew what he was talking about. He really just didn't want there to be any possibility of anyone listening in. "Have you had any progress?" He gestured to the seat in front of his desk, inviting Rodrigo to sit down. However, at the same time Soren stood up and moved to the doors of his office. He opened them and spoke to the guards outside. "You are dismissed. You may join the guards at the end of the hallway," he ordered, turning back to the room before even watching to see if they did as he told them. There was no reason to question their obedience. Everyone did what he said. Rodrigo Cabrera

Rod smiled when the Grand Prior walked to the door and dismissed the guards. He liked the idea that their conversation was so important it needed to be discussed in complete privacy. He was also sure that the Prior would like what he had to say. He waited for the Grand Prior to sit back down before he began. "I actually was hoping to talk with you about that, Sir," he said respectfully. He continued without pause, "We finally had our break through. They understand us and we them. We've begun attempts to try and train them, see what they will do for us. Best of all, the whole project has remained a heavily-guarded secret. Since our last conversation, we've had no need to try and find trustworthy people to help us. I also oversee everything, to make sure things are going according to our plan." Rod announced with pride. He wasn't exactly sure what Soren wanted to do, or why he was rushing the project so suddenly, but Rodrigo was certain that he would be ready. Without a doubt. Now the only question was what the Grand Prior wanted to do ... SOREN KRAUSS

Soren's body was thrumming with excitement at the news he'd just received. Apparently things couldn't be going better and he was overjoyed at that news. He tried to hide the depths of his enthusiasm, but he let some of it show. He needed Rodrigo to know that he was pleased by his efforts and dedication. Honestly, things could not be working out better for Soren right now if he'd planned it. First, the meeting with Elin-Dragon Rider. Though he didn't like the woman at all, the implications of the looming battle were a welcome prospect. His meeting with Morgana and several other leaders of his solidified his belief that they couldn't trust Excalibur and that the time was nearing when they needed to end that alliance. Permanently. And now this. The icing on the cake, so to speak. "Thank you Rodrigo. I appreciate your dedication and all the work you have put into this. Make no mistake, you will be rewarded accordingly. However, there are some things which I wish to alert you to. Perhaps we could use our "weapon" to our advantage." Soren paused a moment, stroking his beard as he tried to decide how he wanted to explain this. "You see, recently I received reliable news that there is to be a battle against the Queen Dragon and Excalibur. They came to me, asking for our alliance and assistance. I, of course, agreed. However, I feel like our time dealing with the rabble group is coming to an end. I was wondering if your ... project ... will be ready within two weeks. We're not sure exactly when the battle will take place, but I would love to surprise our "allies". They'll never see it coming and we will finally rid ourselves of them. What do you think? Is it possible to be ready enough for that within the allotted time frame?" he asked curiously, not sure exactly what the answer wouldn't be. He'd never dealt personally with this project, so he could predict absolutely nothing, to his annoyance. Rodrigo Cabrera

Rodrigo's mind was spinning quickly. Could the project be ready in less than two weeks? Two weeks wasn't a very long time, but if he could manage it ... the rewards would be astronomical. The dragons were almost ready. They were taking orders quite well, especially when it came to his orders. Granted, each dragon had a human it was "attached" to (they didn't use the term bonding because the Knights and their dragons were not on equal terms. The Knights were in control of everything, particularly Rod. His dragon was the oldest of the lot, so all the other dragons obeyed him without question. The hard part, so far, had been in getting them to obey their master. As he thought more about it, he found himself believing that it might be possible. It would take work; he and Tarin would need to start almost immediately, but that wasn't an issue. "I think we can do it. The beasts are obeying quite frequently now, I think we can get it to the point where we know they'll obey us in the field by then." He grinned wickedly, "And I can't wait for those prats in Excalibur to see what we're really made of. They'll be running once they realize what's happening, that they're not the only ones with dragons ... Is there anything specific you want the dragons to do in this battle?" he added as an afterthought, wanting to make sure he had all the facts straight before he went into full planning mode.

Soren was more excited than he'd been in a long time. He wanted to hide it, but he figured there was no use. Rodrigo had kept his secret and accomplished more than he'd ever dreamed. He would be rewarded for his faithfulness and efforts. Especially since he was about to work even harder to accomplish Soren's desires. "I knew I could count on you, Rodrigo. I want your dragons to obliterate them. Excalibur, the Queen, all of them. I want them to be bewildered about what is happening and unable to stop it. I want vicious, merciless dragon soldiers. Can you give me that?" He watched Rod expectantly, sure he already knew what the man's answer would be. Rodrigo Cabrera

The only way to describe Rod's expression now would be evil. He was thrilled at the prospect of attacking Excalibur with his dragons. In fact, he could think of one person in particular that he definitely wanted to visit with his dragon. Ryker. Ryker was about to regret all he'd done to Rodrigo, intentionally and not. Payback was coming. "Absolutely, sir. Excalibur will never know what hit them. That is, they won't know until it's too late to stop it. I'm assuming you want me to keep all of this confidential?" he asked, trying to be polite more than anything. He wished he could tell Morgana about this - then maybe she'd pay more attention to him - but he was almost certain that the Grand Prior would say this was something to only be spoken about with people who already knew about it. That meant Rod was going to need to find Tarin, fast. He wasn't going to be able to hold in his excitement for long. SOREN KRAUSS

Soren nodded his head sharply, "Yes, this is strictly confidential. I cannot afford for Excalibur to learn of our plans. We've got to take them by surprise or there is no way we'll be able to finish them for good. I expect you to inform Knight Leveanthal as soon as possible so the two of you can get started. You are excused," he ended the conversation brusquely. Soren did not want Rodrigo to waste anymore time with this conversation. Instead, he wanted him to get started so he could generate results. So he gestured to the door, dismissing his soldier. If they could pull this off, it would be fantastic. He couldn't wait for the battle. -end-
