The Scramble [Complete]
#55
Some joined the Empire. Some joined the Kingdom. Some went their own way. Still some of them remained at the fountain – they hadn’t decided what to do.

Bradley turned to the ones who had accepted his offer. “Good. I’m sure you’ll all be happy with the arrangements we’ve made.” He turned to Dredd. “Judge, why don’t you show these men and women back to the capital?”

“What about you?” grunted Dredd.

Bradley smiled, then turned to Aragorn. “Indeed. It doesn’t look like these Primes are going to stop coming any time soon. It seems Omni got bored.”

“I wouldn’t hazard to guess at Omni’s motivations,” replied Aragorn. “But you’re right. It seems we are at an impasse.”

“In that case,” said the ambassador, “How about this? I’m sure you have things to do back at the capital, but what if me and your friend there -” he pointed to Thrall, “Stay here to talk to the newcomers.”

Aragorn turned to Thrall. Thrall nodded.

Aragorn turned back to Bradley. “What about the soldiers?”

“Well, it wouldn’t do to have an army greeting you the moment you woke up.” Bradley chuckled. “How about this. Five of your men, five of my men. Deal?”

The king’s facial expression was completely flat. “Deal.”

“Well,” smiled Bradley. “That’s that then.”

There was a prolonged silence. Aragorn turned back to the newcomers at the fountain.

“I’m sorry we had to meet under such circumstances. I hope the next time we meet, we’ll be able to speak freely.” He turned to those who’d decided to come to Camelot. “You know how to summon, correct?”

Meanwhile, Dredd was glaring at those who had chosen to come to Coruscant. “Summon some bikes, or something,” he said, and waited.

Before long they were mounted up and riding out to their respective verses. A few looked back towards the fountain.

Bradley stretched his arms. “That’s better. I much prefer the quiet. But it looks like we’re going to be here a while.” He looked at Thrall. “How about it, warchief? Want something to sit on?”

“I’m good.” Thrall was sitting cross-legged on the floor, about ten metres across from Bradley. “I’m watching to make sure that’s not a chair-shaped snake, though.”

Bradley laughed. “You think too little of me. Honestly, you should come and see Coruscant some time. It’s a beautiful place, and I think I really have an eye …” he winked, “For beauty.”

Thrall sighed. “Bradley, if you and I were on the same side, I think you’d be in more danger.” He traced circles on the ground with his finger. This was going to be long.
Curious about me and the characters I play? See the 'Staff' page! See also the rosters for my characters Samus Aran or Enel if you'd like to see examples of well-formatted rosters. Hope you enjoy the Omniverse!
