“What could possibly be happening? He had no idea. Peace had been reigning over the country for years. There were minor skirmishes from rebels who wanted to overthrow his brother’s government, but Turk wasn’t about to allow that. His family had been ruling this country for centuries. As Minister of Defense for Kilar, he wasn’t going to let that change. Not on his watch. Something was going on though. He couldn’t put his finger on it, but something was definitely…disturbing. Maybe it was ...just that everything had been so peaceful for so long.

But it would be nice to get out into the desert and have a bit of freedom. He’d been cooped up in the palace for too long, needing some action.
