spread throughout the Empire like they are. You may be able to sway a few small towns and co-ops, but I’m not sure what good that will do.”
    Sydin started to talk. “Well there is more than that. If you remember, that’s how the Iumenta took over in the first place.”
    Telunone thought for a moment before responding. “Yes, so won’t they see that coming then?”
    Sydin smiled and explained. “Ah, you forget, when the Iumenta took over we had no dragons in the human lands swaying people’s thoughts; that is the only way they stay in control.”
    Now Sasha could see the wheels turning in Telunone’s head. “So, if we can weaken that then we could have a chance of turning the people against them, making the fight simpler. Yes, I see where you are going with this…” he looked down at the table thinking. “We will also need to pull as many dragons away from the cities and towns as possible.”
    Sasha couldn’t help herself. “But how?”
    “Easy my dear, we are a bigger threat than a bunch of angry farmers. If we increase the presence of our ascended along the borders, they will in turn send more of their own. In fact, they will be forced to send most of their military to the borders, which will cause quit a fuss if we don’t attack.”
    Iselin chimed in. “If we keep fainting, then they won’t be able to justify pulling their forces back. But conversely, they won’t be able to justify the cost of matching our numbers in the sky. They must be stretching themselves thin trying to control the bulk of the Cona lands as it is. And that’s not even counting those ascended that keep Impa air safe.”
    “Yes, that’s a good point too,” Telunone said.
    Sasha was getting part of the Elves’ overall strategy now. The Elves were slowly working to kill off as many dragons as possible. If they upped those efforts by agitating the Iumenta, then there would be fewer dragons in the rest of the Empire to keep the unstable population under control and then…
    Legon finished Sasha’s thought allowed “civil war.” She heard the bitterness in his tone, but there was also resignation to what needed to be done.
    “Maybe not…the Iumenta will try and hold the cities, but the rest of the land will be out of their control. When we do invade, we shouldn’t encounter much resistance. In fact, if done right, we will receive aid,” Telunone said, smiling. “Legon, House Evindass truly is lucky to have you as its head. You are like your father.”
    Legon looked a little uneasy at the compliment, but happy at the same time. Sasha noticed that Iselin was suppressing a smile. She reached out with her mind, “What are you smiling at?”
    Iselin responded in Sasha’s mind, “Isn’t it obvious? If this works then we may have a chance of winning without having to wipe out all of humanity in the Empire.”
    “Was that an option?” Sasha asked.
    Iselin answered, “Eventually, yes, it would have been. Well, maybe not all of humanity…the resistance of course would have been saved, but if the Iumenta hold up with us in the number of dragons, then it would have turned into the War of Generations all over again.”
    “And now what’s different?” Sasha asked.
    “If this works, they will only have enough dragons to hold their own lands, and it won’t be nearly as bad.”
    “I don’t understand.” And she didn’t. This wasn’t making sense to her. Sasha knew dragons were important, but just how important?
    “You will, don’t worry,” was all Iselin would say.
    Sasha went back to paying attention to the meeting, but it looked like it was over. Telunone couldn’t do anything with contacting his head of house, and the other houses would need to be in on this as well. It was going to take a concentrated effort. As for Barnin’s unit, they had it. Enrich wouldn’t care about one unit. Telunone wouldn’t even have to pull any strings to get them. As the conversation slipped in to trivial and non- important things,
