The Last Kingdom

[Fjordhelm Kingdom - Hours before Archer arrives]

Harald Eriksson, the reigning monarch of Fjordhelm, convened with his council of generals and advisors, grappling with troubling news.

A man with piercing dark eyes and cascading, sun-kissed locks among his assembly rose to address the King.

"Your Majesty," he began, "the white dragon has successfully subdued every realm within the alliance, with our kingdom being the sole exception. The mysterious man's plans have fallen short, leaving us to deal with an angry dragon who knows where we are.''

Harald looked at his top general and gave him a nod before Duke Sweyn Jansson of the northern region spoke.

''Rumors say he has given the kingdoms to the Avalonians, but that doesn't surprise me as he's known as the white prince of the empire and is engaged to their princess.''

When everyone heard the Duke, their eyes widened before the general who spoke before commented.
