Chapter 3 - Archmage Iode

The leader of the wizards, usually with the title "Archmage" or "Archwizard", knew that the Valkyries would have gotten wind of his presence, yet he decides to stay near Eniosa, a small town near the border of the Valkyrie/Wizard.

"How many days have we been here Glorystein" said the archmage which goes by the name Iode. Iode was the present Archmage of the wizards and also known as the strongest to ever live.

Iode wore a purple rope with gold linen at the fringes of the rope. He has a long white hair and long mustache and beard_ well gray. His eyes were brown in colour and his face has a bit of a wrinkle which shows he's old.

Archmage Iode was talking to a long white haired man who also wore a purple rope and a hat which was long like a witches hat. He was holding a staff with a red gem by his right hand.

"Approximately two days" Glorystein replied. Glorystein is the war strategist of Archmage Iode. He is a 55 year old man, who has vast knowledge in magic and sorcery. He's one of the rare legendary mages.

"When do you think Queen Astrid would arrive?". Archmage Iode asked Glorystein, "probably this evening or very early in the morning". Glorystein replied.

"Knowing the behavior of the Valkyries, they would never bow or kneel to anyone, but I'll show her how weak she and the Amazons are".

Archmage Iode and Glorystein were in a small tent. The tent was a small one and it's made from animal hind. Iode stayed in a small tent, not because he was humble to stay in a tent similar to those of other low level or mid level mages were in, or because he's scared whether the Valkyries would try and assassinate him and would be confused which tent he was in. Instead he just felt like staying in there, as he has stayed in different types of shelter during his other conquest.

In the tent he was staying, he called other high ranking mages to a small meeting. They all sat round a round table in the middle of them. In the table was a large orb projecting a blue hologram, showing the movement of Valkyries.

"It seems, they are here, they are quite fast considering the distance between the border and the Valkyrie capital, not like it unexpected anyway". Iode said looking at the hologram.

A young wizard came into the tent the meeting is being held and said "Sire, we've spotted the Valkyries, they are just a kilometer away from here". Then he saw the hologram at the table. He knew everyone present is aware of the Valkyries presence.

Archmage Iode smiled and said, "thanks, now lets prepare the mages we have a kingdom to conquer".
