Snippet #1238644

Ajak woke up in an extreme state of panic gagging and choking all while flailing his arm like a wild chicken, in Ajak's mind he was drowning, only coming to his senses after tipping off the chair and landing on his face he seen that Kcolth and and some kind of priest were already on the move, seemingly oblivious to Ajaks frantic spasms. "Oh sure why notice me, its not like I saved you and your precious little butter muffin from being a dragons cooked dinner or anything" Ajak thought to himself slightly annoyed.

However if they didn't already notice him then that was a blessing and taking advantage of the opportunity he lied low and listened in on their conversation. He quietly followed the two to the meeting room and as the guards let them in Ajak put his hand casually through his blond hair and walked up to the guards confidently. He didn't engage them in conversation but sought to simply walk past them and through the door behind them. As he did one of the guards grabbed him by the back of his tunic and flung him to his rear, he landed with a quite a loud thud. He stood up quietly rubbing his very sore ass and put on a serious face and proceeded to speak. "How dare you! do you know what I did back there when the dragon attacked, why if the king knew he would have you both strung up that he would!, now let me through or ill be sure t---OUCH!" One of the guards had interrupted him by lightly poking Ajak with the tip of his spear. Ajak proceeded to give up and walk away in shameful defeat.

"Yes yes I've already sent word to Machium and asked that they send some of their flying machines to search for the Dragons where about's " The king was saying as the door creaked open and Kcolth and the cleric walked in. "Kcolth! my dear boy I'm glad to see you in good health!" The king walked over and gave the man a tight hug. "Thank you again for protecting my daughter, I knew you would fulfill your duty's when the time came" the king continued, visible stress and anxiety was clearly taking its toll on him, his eyes were red and puffy and his normally well groomed greybeard was a mess, it was clear that he did not clean up after leaving the dungeon but came straight to the war room.

"And who might this be?" The king asked looking at the man who walked in with Kcolth.
