[Tarothin Armunn]

**right before the tearing down of the Command center**

Standing in his old study, he was looking upon the table with the maps and laid out chess pieces. Everything else in the room had been boxed up and removed from the room.

Tarothin thought hard about this and the time has started to move on as the pieces lay the same.

To many weak people...little has the pieces moved for quite some time. In either direction, for or against my plans. It appears that I am at a stalemate at the moment. The game has grown tiresome.

I cannot go much farther for it seems that too many orginaizations and alliances have formed to be able to do so without mingling too much with others...to many indecisive or weak people to make further moves. Many will not be swayed by me to see the order I see because of the things other alliances see.

My body itself will hinder my process on gaining more ground with my past enemies...do to is now fully noticible change. Rumor's about a weapon that can slay me and that damn chest that is out there that can banish me...

I am beginning to feel more free and less constained in the full form of the beast.

It is time that i break the stalemate...and see what fate lies ahead for me...

Before knowing it his vision became a familiar red tint and the table going further away. As his horns touched the ceiling he stretched his arms outward. His eyes was a burning red and the fangs long and sharp. Letting out a primal roar towards the maps and chess pieces, he threw with two of his arms the stone table against the side wall to crack. Chess pieces and maps flew everywhere to the side...

The roar came suddenly, interrupting my reading from the chair outside the study in the hall. I closed the book just as I heard the crash and tumble of small objects within the room and rose from the chair slowly to creak open the door.
There was father, in full daemon form, looming over the large desk that seemed so small at the moment. I said nothing. Only followed his annoyed gaze down to where the maps and chess pieces lay.
Impulsive bit of temper it was, I thought as I walked over slowly and kneeled down in front him to flip the maps back upright onto the floor. The chess pieces I began to gather up from their helter skelter locations and placed most of them back on the parchments in the same possition father had had them before. Each piece I had memorized in my head. A few pieces I had held in one of my hands. I looked up into father's face just a glance before putting the last couple of pieces down....in a different place. The last piece, I placed on our local map and kept it over the area for DarkCove and then slid it all the way to the beachline of Vesper in one swift movement.
My gaze returned to father as a child would to wait for an approving or disapproving reaction....

Watching his child in amusement until she was done. Only then did Tarothin speak to his child.

A rough and deep voice of the beast.
"Already one step ahead of you. People have grown too comfortable in the positions they hold."

Kneeling down so as to move the peices that she put other places back to their original position with his four claws. "You do not move pieces over a location that is not there. They must move in life for the pieces to be moved on the board. Think the future moves in your mind only and picture the layout of the board what could be if certain things are done in your mind."

"But it matters not. The outcome shall be the same with very little if any change. And because of that this game has ended. Something drastic will have to happen before the stalemate ends. And yet, who is willing to risk that?"

Before hunching over to walk through the doorway, "I always do like to defy fate...yet I am afraid that this time I have lost..."

A smile suddenly appears on his face... "Perhaps..."
