The gloomy moon was the only source of light into the little room. A group of rebellious minds had been gathering for the last ten years, and finally the plan was about to be executed. The thirteen men raised their glass, a brown unrecognisable liquid swirled inside. A hollow voice sounded, "for the king” soon followed by a uncommon smile.

Around the castle in various city streets two dossins of innocent looking men had been sitting all day. Obvious a few of the guards had raised an eyebrow recommending there removal, however it is a unpopular fact that civil rights movement most often leads to people going where they want to go and stays were they feel like staying. So the guards left the idea of removing them and went on to their regular business, of not guarding the castle. The peace had lasted for more then fifty years so threat was not as imminent as it had just to be and surly his majesties royal guards had more interesting tasks at hand then there job.

The castle lay bathed in the strong lights of spotlights illuminating the facade of the castle. The inside was covered with darkness as the royal chamber had turned in at around eleven. However the light in the conferans room in the north corner castle could still be seen from the royal park. His majesty the king, the prime minister, minister of finance, minister of education and research were joined by the chef of the opposition to discus of national importance. In an ordinary matter these people would only see each other every Friday at eleven when the government held there official meeting with the king, and the chef of the opposition would sit back in her office grinding her teeth waiting for the next election. However the lack of results from the students of Skym was a deep concern for the king and an imbursement to the entire nation. The royal household had been ribbed from all real power more then hundred years ago and stood back as a shadow of a disabled monarchy. But still the king had a handful of vital powers. It was he who each forth year appointed the government, and he had the power to refuse any prim minister to take office. This had not been done since the second world war when the Nazi Germany had tried to form a puppet government in Skrym and few would take such a ruling by the king seriously, however at this point the king threatened the entire royal government with an immediately dismissal if the results did not improve.

The ministers were in shock and to only one who seemed to enjoy here self was the chief of opposition who sat back nodding agreeing to all that the king said and seemed more then willing to put inn any information that the king seemed to forget during his lecture.

Outside the group of men moved into position, six in the queens park south west of the castle, six in the royal park north east of the castle, another six form Abelhaugen south west of the castle and the last six for filling the two dossins of men moving into the castle that night came from Nisseberget to the south east of the castle. Moving slowly they soon positioned themselves around the castle, moving into the two doors on the front and the back. At ten past twelve four subdued gun shoots could be heard outside the castle and ten minutes later four bodies were dragged away into the darkness. As the rest of the group entered the doors of the royal castle.

OCC: Well more then a year has past since I last posted on this forum so I decided to start up with a new nation. Feel free to continue the story, or make post if you like it and/or hints for improvements. The castle is the royal castle of Norway and the story is supposed to have its offspring in the capital.
Yes I do know that it's not weary plausible that a armed force would attempt kill the royal family of Norway but honestly I find the plotline to interesting not to write about it.

Thought I give some background information: The group's mission is to eliminate the government and reinstall their leader as a leader of Skym. This is however not possible if the royal family is still alive. (Read the post to understand why). Therefore the royal family needs to be eliminated. The reason for this crusade is only greedy and power hunger. The royal family consist of the same members as the Norwegian does: HM the King Harald V, HM the Queen Sonja Haraldsen, HRH Prins Haakon Maguns, his Wife HRH Mette-Marit, There daughter Prinsess Ingrid and Prince Sverre Magnus.

Forcing entry front and back the two groups swept trough the castle. Quietly passing through room after room. Guards on duty were easily subdued. Even if they were heavily armed most of the guards had never seen real combat and felt hard about shooting and perhaps killing another human. Only once the two groups got sight of something that could have arisen to a problem. A major came passing thought a, until then anyway empty corridor. In less then a minute he was captured and heavily tied up both on hands and legs. He was dumped inside a room that looked as a guard’s outpost and the men continued forward. Fifteen minutes later the twenty-four men gathered inside The Vestibule

Two stores up the king sat with the prim minister without the slightest idea of what was happening inside the palace. He was still in a hige tone discussion with the minister of finance a Mrs Hallvorsen about the underfoundig of the Skym public schools. As the chief of the opposition clearly pointed out Skym used nearly a billion every year on foreign aid while the schools where falling apart. The prim minister, Mr Stoltenberg sat with a grim face hoping to get through what seamed like a nightmare, alive. He knew weary well that even though the Kings political powers had been nearly removed from him. This was a man who held the key to the people’s hearts, if only parts of this night came out to the public the prim ministers political life would be doomed.
He could honestly say that he had newer felt the palace less welcoming. The chief of opposition on the other hand had never had a better day her entire day.

The men inside the Vestbule regrouped and continued upwards. They were still behind schedule and the threat of guards change were lurking around the corner. The minute the royal guards found out that four of them where missing the entire palace would be in lock down and the royal family would be evacuated. In the second floor a new problem arose, a locked door that should not have been looked. In fear of awakening the court the door could not be burst open and due to the schedule it could not be lock piced. The leader of the gang ordered the men around the looked door and into The Banqueting Hall from there the way went straight thought a another set of stairs then through the bird room. The room was known for its divine beauty. Few remained to see the beauty since they were scattered throughout the palace. And even the serious undertone of their mission he could not stop himself from taking a moment and let his flash light raise towards the ceiling where a majestic sea eagle had been painted. He burst thought the next door into the chamber witch he was to forfill the dream he had dreamt for the last ten years. The assertion of the king.

The king ran thought the palace in the desperation, he had just showed his company to the door as his eye fell on a locked door that he could have sworn was open just a few minutes ago. He had peeked inside only to find the chief of the royal guards tied up thoroughly. He had just gotten the taip covering his mouth off as the major urged to king to run, there were more then royalists in the castle this night. Following the passageway to the end he took a right turn and run right into a man he had never seen before. Both of them in shock the king came to him selves first grabbing the strangers gun firing two shots bound to awake the residents of the palace
