Armored soldiers marched about a newly constructed stone structure. Every ten minutes, they would chant "We live by Dragonheart's will," accompanied by a salute to a flag that was attached to a fifty-foot flagpole. One would wonder why Alnette would tolerate such insurgent actions in her domain. The answer lay clear in Alnette's defeat some time ago.
The inside of the embassy was overly adorned with golden statues of Cort Dragonheart, the new ruler of the country known as Erostocia. In what looked like a throne room, King Cort sat atop the throne, smoking his signature cigar. For the cyborg, all was good. He felt like there was nothing he could do.
"Bwaahahahahaha! Necropolis is mine, ALL mine!" he gloated.

Alnette was going to enjoy this; though it was probably a foolish thing to do, she couldn't resist. She smirked as she approached Cort, bowing mockingly.
"I apologize for interrupting, sir, but the Necropolis is not yours." She explained. "When I made the bargain and was forced into your servitude, I forfeited my position as Baroness. As a result, my baron is the one the Necropolis goes to. I'm sorry, but that's how it's written in the Necropolis's..."

The Roman Ambassador to Necropolis had to make a visit. If Cort was in control of Necropolis, he needed to understand that the Roman Embassy was neutral territory and that any moves made against it would be an act of war against the Empire. The ambassador's car, followed by two police escorts pulled up to the gates of Dragonheart Siege. The driver asked permission to enter.

When the Roman Ambassador appeared to state his case, the cyborg dictator was already in the midst of berating Alnette. He barked a few unflattering words to her, not even noticing the stranger.
"I don't believe you, succubus! Who could possibly be the baron?"

"A man who prefers to keep himself cloaked in shadows. That is all I shall tell you." Alnette was trying hard not to laugh in his face.

"Hmph! As far as I'm concerned, this region belongs to me!" The second he affirmed his control over Necropolis, his soldiers all saluted.

"And you're mistaken. Simple enough." Alnette crossed her arms.

"Have I beaten you so often that you suffer brain damage?" That one comment made the soldiers snicker; they remembered all that Alnette had to endure.

In the rafters above Cort and Alnette, a falcon perched, shifting its weight on a beam as it watched the spectacle below. His plumage was almost entirely black, edged with white at the edges of his wings and tail feathers.
The falcon observed.

"If either of us have any brain damage, it's you, you delusional fool." She smirked. "You do not own this region and any attempt you make to conquer it will result in the very land rising up to strike you down." That was mostly a bluff, but Alnette sounded entirely serious.

Enraged, Cort slapped Alnette with his robotic hand. She had the nerve to talk to him in such away. Even if he didn't control Necropolis, he still owned her.

Discord had been looming in the shadows since the construction of this embassy. He watched every atrocity, but he could not bear it any further. He emerged, his eye sockets glowing red from anger. The lich smacked Cort with his accursed staff. "You have overstayed your welcome."

Alnette yelped in pain, but smirked. "Heh, you're going to need to get a better grasp on that temper of yours." She laughed. "You have many enemies, and your temper isn't helping you at all."

Discord's arrival was the falcon's cue to move. Spreading its wings, the raptor fluttered down from the rafters, taking up a perch on Alnette's shoulder. Hoping the succubus wouldn't mind, the bird nodded at her, waiting until it was appropriate to take up his natural form.

"INFIDELS!" The second Cort was knocked down, his soldiers surrounded Discord. Certainly some skeleton in heavy armor couldn't defeat them. "Bury this fool!" Cort then looked at Alnette. This Discord's fate was on her head.
