After his imaginary process he had been interrupted by meeting with a soldier elf.
-Your majesty, the King awaits for you in the war hall in 2 hours, solemn soldier said with a tone of respect and after that retired in one the corridor where he appear. Ilimael felt a discreet discomfort, which may related to discussion that should take place between him and his father, the king, or perhaps related to the fact that he knew that he was commander of the royal troops, and soon he would have to leave the house. Two hours passed quickly and Ilimael arrived among the first in the hall of wars, yet not first. The hall vibrate in discussions of the few elves arguing among themselves about the present situation, and the appearance of the prince made them to stand up from their seat and salute him.
-We wish you a long victorious path for you, majesty, we are honored to have you join us in these bleak times that are upon us.
Ilimael without to revoke a verbal response was heading to his chair, he sat down and pulled from his waistband a bracelet with a medallion hung on it and lift it up to eye level.
-Doooorgarrrrrrd, pronounced slowly prince.
Hall was filled again with heated discussions.
-Dorgarrd, how?, and why?, what about Dorgarrd?, it can be truth?, a lot of questions arised between present elves, all of them looked puzzled at bracelet from his hands.
After a few moments, large hall doors opened and made his appearance accompanied by Teladril, the king and few of his generals. The king sit comfortably on his throne and without anyone to expect, punch the table, making the gathered elves startled.
-Orcs, what the hell are they doing here, they forgot results of the last war, they really have forgotten the name of Naruin, in the name of Frey, I want to know what they are looking for, here, shout the king expressive. Mitry was sober, loving and servant by law, he tried to maintain peace but on the other hand was a fire easily peeved, and exceptional impulsive.
- Your majesty, until this moment we have no data eloquent for orcs intentions, said Kessel, the elf who often accompanied Ilimael in its campaigns,
-Dorgarrd, pronounced again the prince, this time he threw hard bracelet on the table,
-What's with Dorgarrd?, the king said,
-It's a elves bracelet, father, he has emblem of Dorgarrd elves army, the prince continued explaining.
-I see, it's a bracelet, and I know well that it belongs to elves that are far from our plains, what importance have our brothers bracelets,NOW?
-This bracelet, I found it on the last orc killed by my sword, which means that this dead orc had not other way to get the bracelet than to take it by force from an elf who wear such bracelets, and? Yes, the elves, in Dorgarrd, were elves from Seletorn family, the last elves that remain to live on Iron Plains.
-Ilimael, you want to say that Dorgarrd fell?, asked the king.
Ilimael does not knew the answer, just how much he wanted to know he could not answer to the question. Created confusion in the room, made Teladril to intervene and help the prince to defuse the situation.
-Majesty, the messengers from Dorgarrd visit nine months ago, last time, when they asked for supplies, weapons and shields, then no one remembered about orcs or jail, so there were not arouse reasons for concern.
-But Teladril the reasons appear now, even if you all do not recognize this or do not want to understand the created situation, Dorgarrd fell and I guess you will just find there ruins, said Ilimael.
-How? shouting the king, rising from his seat, It can’t be truth, the sons of Seletorn had at their disposal 3000 elves, it's impossible to be beaten and not to sent any news, impossible,
-I'm afraid it's possible father, if orcs from jail in some unknown way to us, could escape and take power on the prison, then everything is possible, replied Ilimael,
-May be Ilimael that orcs could somehow escape aroused an uprising and seized power
