Confidence is key in a fight

I waited impatiently for the dome to rise Tapping the hilt of my sword. as the darkness slowly seeped in greeting me, just as the city lights came to life.once the dome reached chest level i ducked under an walked away from the dome towards the forest. i had to be careful for the queens guards who lurked in the dark thinking that they were unnoticed. my anger rose thinking about how unfair all this was, we had to live in under a dome condemned to the darkness and they spied on us. i started to relax when i saw the familiar road in the forest that lead to cabin i found 3 years ago. i assumed it was from before the dome ages because it was made from wood. it was fully stocked with training gear, weapons, and food.

I trained here sometimes so i had some clothes and a medical kit. i think it was owned by a group of goblins because there were female clothes men clothes and toiletries already in the place when i found it.i opened the worn out door and laid my sword down on my desk.

I smiled when i heard the familiar footsteps of the the stray silver tabby that always knew when i was in the cabin and ate all my catnip leaves when i wasn't. the cabin was in the perfect place it was hidden from the goblins watch towers but it wasn't to close to the fae border which we couldn't cross. but i knew there were some rebel goblins who attacked fae people who were lost or got locked out of homes, which disgusted me because how were they expecting to be heard if they were killing the only people who could get them out of this darkness. i started stroking the cats fur as i thought of the the new assignment the king gave me i was to protect some documents until they were reviewed bu the general who was coming all the way from tienth which would take him at least three weeks to get here. he was reviewing the formations for the guards who will be attending the kings speech which is on the day that we were put in this hell hole that i have called home for 16 years.

there were those who respected the king for his decision not to try fighting again because if they lost they couldn't handle the repercussions. and then there were those who called him a coward and weak king so they went and crossed the border and damaged fae homes with paint and garbage and attacked any of the royal guards that were present.

I checked the time and realized it was time for me to get to my post. so i not only had to protect the files from rebel goblins i had to protect it from those " secret faes" because if they got it it would look like we were planning an attack. but i had a plan for that. i greeted the guards at the front gate they greeted me with a bow and a very loud " good night sonaris sir!!" i chuckled at how serious they were and walked past them towards the briefing room. "sir, i have gathered all the people you asked for." i looked around the room and saw 8 men all big and bulky aka heavyweight. i grinned as i continued scanning the men all of them pushing their chest's out with their noses in the air.

at ease i said to them an they relaxed just a fraction but were still very uptight. "the reason i choose you guys specifically is to give the enemy a specific idea, you are big so you tend to run slower than other people but, if anyone were to fight you head on they would fail." they nodded their heads in understanding. my plan was to make the enemy to think all the guards were slow so they would try to split them up. " i will station four guards on each wing but i will be joining a specific group of four that are near the briefing room which is the place we need to protect." one guard asked "if we have four on one side and five on the other wont they think to attack the group of five first sir."

they would but thats what i want i said as i grinned slowly. they looked at me like i was crazy. when they see five people they will know that the place that needs the most protection, so they would attack both sides. making everyone spread apart in whatever distraction they use they will definitely want me to leave too. so whats the plan after that , i want three of you to double back towards the briefing room and i will go in the briefing room from the inside of the castle. i want the three guards to wait for the enemy to leave the room before you guys enter, but i can assure you no one is getting past me i said with a laugh the other guards laughed with me.

another guard asked," what do the other 5 of us do". good question i want two of you to hide in the forest after we split up and the other three i want you hide in the castle just in case they get past me and the other 3 guards. so do we all understand the plan. they all said " yes sir" in perfect unison i smiled at them and said the plan was to begin tomorrow you and that they were are all excused.

as soon as they left i started looking for the secret panel in the wall where i would hide the real files, and put decoy files on the table covered in fire sing water which would immediately flare up in anyone none goblin touched it. which i think is smart because then we can distinguish if we were attacked by rebel goblins or fae. good job sonaris I

thought to myself no one is leaving this room alive if they dare attack me, my ember earring started glowing warning me that i was getting to heated i calmed down and turned off the lights so only the dark red glow of my earrings were visible.
