506 Betrayed By Family(Part One) “What do you mean a war?” Maevis yelled after making sure that there still wasn’t anyone around yet. Shasta sighed as she slowed her horse, then stopped. Irritated, Maevis fluttered down, and started to yell at her about needing to go save Nicolas before it was too late. Grabbing the snippety fairy out of mid-air, Shasta stuffed her inside her cloak as she said; “If you wanna talk, then you’re gonna have to travel right here. I’m not yelling out loud to…-

505 Protecting The Future “Maevis, will you please introduce these three to the reindeer? I need to have a talk with my wife,” Lawrence asked before grabbing Shasta’s arm, and pulling her off to the side. With a pleading expression, Lawrence spoke with a strained voice; “Shasta, Please: come with us. Even if by some crazy chance you succeed, they’ll kill you the second that they get the chance. They have to.” Shasta smiled at him; “So you’re not worried that the new Queen of…

504 Time To Leave(Part Two) ***CONTENT WARNING: LANGUAGE AND VIOLENCE*** “Are you clear on your jobs?” Maevis asked as she looked at the six Brownie spies in front of her. Lieutenant Trist nodded; “Aye! Follow along from a distance until you give the signal. When you do, a team of two will lead whatever enemy lay ahead away. We’ll keep them busy as long as possible.” “Without getting caught,” Shasta added; “The guards are trying to catch you guys, too. And that includes a few…

503 Time To Leave(Part One) ***CONTENT WARNING: LANGUAGE AND VIOLENCE*** Maevis and Nicolas shared worried expressions between themselves before Maevis said; “So this Doctor Stein is treating the king?” Lawrence nodded; “Apparently.. He’s my brother’s doctor, though. Doctor Gohan has been detained for some reason. Marco wouldn’t say in front of everyone.” “How do you know? You didn’t ask him,” Shasta commented. Lawrence shrugged; “Because he said Tien was being detained…

502 Palace Lockdown Lawrence sat at the table watching his children eating and talking amongst themselves with a grin. Shasta was at his side, smiling beautifully as she also watched their children playfully arguing over who’s piece of pie was bigger. The banquet hall was filled with a sense of mellow happiness as the guests piled into the massive room for dinner. Many still approached and congratulated the Ruscovic King and his new Queen before taking their seats. Shasta wondered how long their…

501 The Long Game Magnus paced back and forth in front of his fireplace, waiting for his oldest son. He was supposed to be there at three, but it was already nearing five o’clock, and he still hadn’t shown up. As the King’s patience was about to hit it’s limit, the door to his bedroom opened. As soon as his eyes fell on his son, his anger exploded; “Where the Hell have you been?! I summoned you almost two hours ago! I am your King, on top of being your father! What excuse do you have for…

500 Turn The Page ***WARNING: LANGUAGE AND DISTURBING CONTENT*** Zas waved to Tidas, Skye, and Peggy with everyone else until they were mere smudges in the distance. He was surprised not to see Ralph, Klaus, Kari, and Ronnie on deck, but he had a sneaking suspicion that Skye and Tidas didn’t know that they onboard to begin with.. ‘Genie probably knew since he signed their permission papers to enter the kingdom-republic. Not kingdom, Republic.. Gotta remember that..’ Zas’ thoughts turned…

499 A New Adventure As the wind outside rattled the windows, Skye and Tidas stirred within their bed. The days were growing colder, and the mornings were becoming shorter with the fall weather. It was after six in the morning, and the sun was just peaking through the darkness of the retreating night. Tidas reached across his side of the bed to tuck a loose strand of hair behind his wife’s ear. Feeling his gentle touch, Skye lazily opened her eyes to see her husband smiling at her. She grinned back…

498 Gonna Miss This Magnus grinned as he watched his three sons enter his private dining room. They used it more often since Skye had come to the palace since she liked smaller gatherings compared to the dinners in the banquet room. Due to his status, Magnus couldn’t spend his nights away from the court, but he loved accommodating Skye’s requests whenever she made them. Family had always been important to him, but Magnus had found it to be increasingly so to him, in his old age. His children and…

497 Just Concerned When they reached their room, Tidas helped Skye undress, then they slipped into the shower together. Washing each other’s backs had taken longer than it should’ve, so Peggy was waiting for them when they tried to come out of the bathroom together. Tidas stayed in the humid bathroom as Skye grabbed his clothes, and chided Peggy for her abrupt entrance. Peggy looked at her sideways; “What the hell are ya talkin’ about?” Skye huffed as she passed her husband’s clothes…
