Demondred observed his soliers as they brought back the bouty from their last conquest. This land was weak, it collapsed much faster than his home continent. True, not as many dragons existed here, but they were nothing but animasl.
"Emperor, we have reports of a land to the north called the Spine, a few dragons and elves are there, an elf named Crimson is trying to carve up his own empire," a soldier said. He bowed down, Demondred laughed. Oh what fools, what pifitful fools these elves were. Theri arrogance amused him.
"Thank you, you may go." Demondred said, he knew of this Crimson already, but that, didn't faze him. Already he planned on invading the land called hte Spine, where the worthless so called empire failed to conquer.
Around him the once pround city of Lovear now was in ruins, his human and shape shifter army along with their dragon slaves brought it walls tumbling down. Soon enough this land would be his and they too would follow him.

Equinox yawned and stared into the distanct mountains of the Spine. The past few days had been oddly lazy, Crimson hadn't shown up and with Galbatorix dead he didn't really have a care in the world. IT was the first time in ages he could just rest. Around him a few new recruits joined. Since the Varden no longer existed as a group, he supposed their wasn't much chance for the Resistance. True, Crimson and Demondred were still, but with Galbatorix dead most didn't want to fight anymore or didn't see them as much of a threat.
Do you really think it's over Equinox? Savania asked.
Equinox glanced over to her and smiled. She had been more active lately, even with not much to do. I don't know, it's been oftle quiet around here, must say though I'm getting used to it.
"We could always start trouble? Just like old time eh?" Eris laughed.
Equinox sighed at his friend and stared on, perhapse he'd go deeper into the Spine, maybe they could find a few Urgal tribes and do a surprise attack on Crimson, he'd wouldn't expect it and maybe they could have two of the three fools dead.
