Capture

The Negoran had been defeated. As Regaltin began to walk back toward his cycle smiling someone grabbed him from behind. He turned around and stopped smiling. It was a royal guard. More guards walked up behind him and they handcuffed Regaltin.

They led him back through the gate much to the astonishment of the crowd that had gathered. He was pushed through the courtyard and into the palace. Regaltin looked around the palace was lavishly decorated, with plants and expensive furniture.

As Regaltin was walked down the hall he said "Uh... why am I being captured?" The guards didn't respond but instead just kept pushing him forward. The stopped in a wide room with a throne at the end of the room. There were steps leading up to the throne.

Regaltin was stopped at the base of the steps. He looked up toward the throne and noticed it was unoccupied. Then from a hidden door directly behind the throne the royal family walked out. The king sat a down at the throne while his wife and children stood on either side of him.

"Why am I here?" Regaltin asked.

"You are here because I have commanded so." The king replied. Regaltin looked up at the king defiance in his eyes.

"Father, shouldn't we explain?" The princess asked.

"I'm getting to that." The king said. "What is your name youngling?"

"Why should I tell you?" He asked him. " I mean you just captured me after I killed four Negoran raiders."

"True, but it was the only sure way that we would be able to speak with you. You have avoided us since the evacuation all those years ago."

"Did it occur to you I did not wish to be found?"

"Yes, but we had to speak with you. We saw what you were able to do to the Negoran and I must ask you again. What is your name?"

Regaltin held his head high and said "My name is Regaltin the last of the White Regalan."
