"By the sounds of it, you are dragonite, I am only guessing but your word choice is quite clear. But in Xi you should know that dragonites are respected. It is said that dragonites gained there incredible power though the use of mana, which my people holds dear. Persecution of dragons is silly, people simply fear what is beyond them. If you seek to run from the truth, I may give the antidote and we may go separate ways, but otherwise, you do keep good company. And there is a legend on the island that dragonites can be good luck." he said, smiling, and pulling out a veil of liquid.

"Well then people in Xi are idiots" he said taking the veil "we're nothing but but monsters, people are right to fear us. Hell, I'm already on my way to becoming one. The only reason I haven't killed you is because there's no way I could avoid getting caught" drinking the contents of the veil "if I were you, I'd pray that we never meet alone again. I'll most likely be even more of a monster then and would have no problem gutting you. And if my secret gets out...well, everyone will want me dead then, so I'll have nothing to lose by coming for you" he got up and walked over the door, breaking the lock "woops" he said unconvincingly, before leaving to go find Meria

"Now that those two are gone, why do we go someplace we can talk?" The woman said when she saw both Aira and Nathan were out of sight. What she was about to talk about had nothing to do with those two. Well, the most important segments didn't anyway. Meira and Ranathia both were hesitant about following the woman where Meira asked her once again the same question Ranathia did, but this time only inquired for her name, "I feel strange not knowing a person by their name. At least allow us both the liberty of knowing your name. I know it's a lot to ask for, but I'm sure it's something little compared what so much you have to acknowledge."

"Siia." The woman paused for a moment as she pulled down her hood to reveal her face toward the two girls. She then started to walk in the direction of a room which she looked like she wanted to visit. The two followed her without question where she added to what she said, "My name is Siianthaliae Vanb'Rianthei. Back in elder times I went by various nicknames though the one mortals know me by the most is Thali Aventhosai." She paused for a moment as Meira and Ranathia were both surprised to see what this woman actually looked like. Neither of them imagined such a cold approaching beautiful raven haired woman underneath that cloak. Though near some of the ends of hair were shards of a silvery glistening shine on her hair which was awkward. Neither have met anyone who had two different hair colorings even if it was hard to visualize.

She lead the two into a room asking the guard to make sure no one interrupted their conversation where he just nodded at the two and allowed them to enter. The room had an array of chairs where Siia walked over and took a seat in one of them. She pulled her hood back over head when she took a seat then asked the other two to take a seat as well. Ranathia and Meira both took a seat in the two chairs that were arrayed across from the one that Siia was sitting in.She then looked at the two having a few questions to ask before she was going to begin what she was about to say, "Now that it is just the three of us, I have a few questions to ask upon you two Elian descendant youths before I begin with what I have to tell you."

Both girls answered with, "Okay." They weren't sure what Siia had to say, but if she just started talking then it was always something very important. They noticed that she always talked with it was completely relevant. They both were going to listen to everything she had to say and answer the questions she had for them if they could.

Aira smiled as Nathan stormed out of her room, walking over to the lock and after checking to make sure no one was around, she fixed it using her magic. She had intended to try to recruit Nathan, but he was to wild and uncontrollable, for now he would just serve as a tool. She went around, and carefully spread the rumor that a dragonite was somewhere in the castle. She didn't call Nathan out, she just wanted every one to slowly grow uneasy, which would probably break out into hysteria.

Nathan didn't scare her in the slightest. A dragonite is always a threat, but she was more than able to handle a baby of a dragon. Not only that, but the castle guard would take her side in the manner. The only problem was that she had to keep her magic hidden in Guardia. With her gossip spread, she intended to anger the dragonite. A full on dragon attack in the capitol would be absolute prefect for her goals.

Nathan was still pissed beyond belief, that woman was trouble. In fact, the more he thought about it, the more he suspected that she hadn't been telling him the truth. Maybe there was no traitor, maybe her true goals weren't quiet as benevolent as she would have him believe. Either way, Meria needed to be warned that that woman wasn't one that could be trusted. Who knows what kind of damage she could do. He hurried to catch up to Meria, only to find that she was nowhere to be seen, which was odd; the path to the audience chamber wasn't complicated, he should have caught some sign of her

One of the soldiers saw Nathan wandering the castle where he approached and informed that Meira and Ranathia accompanied a mysterious woman toward one of the guest rooms. He told him to follow him and he'd regroup him with the girls.

"You probably know by now that six continents make up the world of Gaea, but you don't know is all those continents at time were part of an enormous landmass called Elia. Elia was the large continent that the Avernia Empire used to rule over where Xhosa was at the helm of it all. He ruled almost the entire Elian continent meaning the entire world except a strip of land known as Ehtolia. Ehtolia is located on the southern tip of the Holyoke continent. Ehtolia is still owned by no nation. The land is protected by a sandstorm that prevents outsiders from entering it. Anyway, Ehtolia is where the deities decided to descend upon man and aid them in the fight against the tyranny of the Harken and its ruler Xhosa. The deities temporarily took refuge in the land of Ehtolia known to many as the Blessed Promised Land. These deities gave birth to children who would later become Elian Crusaders. When it looked like the Avernian Army had defeated all of its adversaries and only the Phaedrians were the ones still with the power to put up a fight, that is when several men and women rose up and brandished ancient weapons that were crafted by the deities and give to their holy blood or children to use. There was Saint Idris Guardia who is the son of Emerlink. He wielded the Spear of Salvation known as Daesleurph. The next was Angelian Elyria Eden who founded the Kingdom of Eden. She wielded the powerful Tome of Apostles known as the Ephemeris Luminaire. She bared the holy blood of Eternia Goddess of Miracle.

Then there was the Hero of Chaos Flambard Cimmeria who brandished the Shattering Horizon Halberd Catastrophia blessed by the God of Power Arcturus. He was an Arkadian who migrated from another world to Gaea like quite a few of the other Elian Crusaders. The Holy Knight of Elia known as Aurelian Zeustzius who brandished the Blade of Light otherwise known as the famous Holy Sword Meleitling. Aurelian's holy blood was that of the Goddess of Mortal Universe Destruction Euphoria. The sword had another form which you will learn about in time. A Dragonite Elian by the name of Mehetabel Ereseal brandished the Magic Destroying Wing Blade known as Ragnadaim. It is sometimes nicknamed the Gemini Blade. He bared the holy blood of Agnevastra Goddess of Alteration. Loshan Lumina was an Angelian who formed the Kingdom of Lumina. He wielded another powerful magic tome called Rias Provaine or the Tome of the Divine Flame. Sometimes known as the Book of the Sacred Flame. He bared the holy blood of Xaliana Goddess of Connection.

Azrael of the Four Winds formed the Sacred Dragonia Dynasty who was also a Dragonite like his brother Flambard. Azrael Dragonia wielded the El Gladius Kaze or the Sword of Wind. He was the holy blood of Fujin who is the Goddess of the Wind. The next two Elian Crusaders were a pair of sisters by the name of Thali and Myra Aventhosai. Thali was the holy blood of Stellvia the Goddess of Space-Time and Myra was the holy blood of Xiashakue the Goddess of Truth. Thali brandished the Sword of the Seventh Seal Broniac also known as the Emblem of Apocalypse and her sister used the Orbs of Elan Gossamer Facula which means The Eternal Truth. Another of the ancient weapons created was the one Stralia blessed known as the Berserker Band or now known as Mistaleyn. Stralia is the Goddess of Adversity and the person who wielded that weapon was Abimelech Levantaike who later formed the United Emirates of Avarona. He was a famous Nekrian who looked a lot like a wolverine. The one who wielded the Scepter of Elysia Elaire Vastral was a man by the name of Galdaris Danasta. His holy blood was Evangelina the Goddess of Mortal Universe Creation. He was the opposite of Aurelian. The two holy weapons Meleitling and Elaire Vastral were considered to be two of the most powerful only second to the almighty Broniac. The holy blood of the God of Destiny Altair was an Arkadian man by the name of Reishin Primavalthera. He wielded the holy weapon known as Ewigeskyn otherwise known as the Spear of the Blessed Eternals.

The next weapon was a rune which was extremely dangerous and only those with enough wisdom could ever control it. It was known as the Sacria Versya Tristania Vashuna wielded that chaotic weapon of destruction which was the holy blood of the God of Eternal Decay Kreosus. It is said that only Rudorians could wield the Sacria Versya and the Vashuna family were a group of Rudorians who lived in Xiria. The next of the holy blood was a man named Lucent'phelias Xanathare who wielded the Sword of Elan the famous Vale Loess who was the holy blood of Elan Goddess of Magic. Another that bared holy blood which was a famous alchemist by the name of Luciferias Atharva. He was a Mahzok and the original founder of the magic known as Atharva. He was the holy blood of the God of Wisdom Thraanphal and wielded the Scythe of Nightmares Ebona Orifice. Another famous alchemist from the Nedre race known as Erasmus Vanslandaiya was the holy blood of the God of Judgment Pleiadeis who wielded the Tome of Mystics Phantasa Magorias who eventually formed the Kingdom of Larciena. Vermilia Axthrusia also known as the Saint's Sword of Virtue is the holy blood of Virtue with her sword Chrysoareis. Avantasia Rosenau was the holy blood of Lumina the Goddess of Commandment who wielded the Spear of Suzerain Fafnir. Ambrose Xandria who was the holy blood of Sateria the God of War wielded the Hammer of War Thoralis. Halfenaijuen Xeivanthestra bared the holy blood of Illusia Goddess of Enchantment and wielded the Sword of Illusions Nyghtmaer.

The two Phaedrians Magdalene Zorathan and Atroshaniu Rev'athalena famous in human religions also bared two holy weapons. Atroshaniu bared the Sword of Light Langrisser while Magdalene bared the Sword of Darkness Alhazard. Atroshaniu's holy blood was Hemera whereas Magdalene's was Nyx. Dimensia the Eternal Spear of Chaos was wielded by the holy blood of the Goddess of Chaos Millicent Alutemu Siebenthal. The Primordial Sword of Avalon known as the Sword of Absolute Power Asture Promusa was wielded by Savraj Zamora. He was the holy blood of the almighty Goddess of All-Creation Sigma. It is often that sword is called the Sword of Sigma or The All Destroyer Sword. The last time the Elian Crusaders appeared was the last time that sword has ever been seen. It has other nicknames such as The All Gathering Sword of Eternal Power. Reynburne Leibrandt wielded the Sky Sword Arcadia. He was the Elian Crusader of the Goddess of the Sky Andromeda. The Sword of Quintessence Celesna was wielded by Desiserius Zarcarias who was the holy blood of the mysterious goddess Aira known as the Goddess of the Reverse World. The next was the Windwaker Bow Ichivail blessed by the Goddess of Vision Lacyndora. It was wielded by a famous elf by the name of Deusdedit Etroshalt who bared Lacyndora's holy blood. The next Elian Crusader wielded the Staff of Revelation Caledonia his name was Dhihlat Lavarose who was the holy blood of the God of Revelation. The Scepter of Death Dethmaire was wielded by the Elian Crusader Xanthus Auslander.

The Sword of Inferos Einsatz was wielded the Elian Crusader Einlanzer Fallsmyeriche who was the holy blood of the God of the Infernos Agni. The Elian Crusader that wields the famous Serpentine Thunder Blade Levatein was Sergius Glasford the holy blood of Indra the Goddess of Electricity. The Elian Crusader who wielded the Aquamarine Rod of Water was a priestess girl by the name of Fiona Ingrassia. She was the holy blood of the Goddess of Aqua and surprisingly she was a Mathua. These thirty Elian Crusaders blessed with holy weapons rose up against Xhosa and used their powers granted to them to destroy Xhosa. After Xhosa's defeat, six of them formed the six most powerful nations at that time. The others formed smaller nations, become wanders or drifters or served the other rulers." Was the last of Siia's words as she took a while to pause from a long winded explanation. She didn't expect it to take her that long to explain how many Elian Crusaders existed, but they probably didn't know there were thirty of them. Not all the gods and goddesses were accounted for. Just the ones that took part in the Ehtolian Miracle.

"WOW!" Meira exclaimed when she heard about how many Elian Crusaders there were. She was surprised that there was so many. If that many holy weapons existed then that means there were a lot of weapons out there unaccounted for. Meira had no idea that so many holy weapons existed on Gaea. It was absolutely amazing to think that many actually were created.

Nathan sighed as he followed the soldier 'well this is great, knowing my luck, this strange woman drugged them both too. I'm starting to wonder just why we were called here. So far it's been nothing but trouble. My inner skeptic is telling me that this might me some kind of trap.' Channeling Ki to his ears, Nathan started keeping a look out for a potential ambush. Right now, he felt like he was back in enemy territory

"Both sides of your parents were affiliated with holy blood. It just really depends on which divine blood is stronger in your body which is what decides if you have major holy blood or not. If there is the precedence of more than 50% of one blood type of holy blood in your body then you major in that holy blood and may brandish your progenitor's holy weapon." Siia added knowing the girls would want to know how you could tell if they holy blood or not. While she gave them that explanation she shifted in her chair the position her body was sitting then peered over by large white door colored mostly in white. A large red and golden embroidery carpet lead straight for the door and the chairs were craftsmanship work as you could see all the beautiful designs on the would that was well carved. She knew someone was at the door so that is when she started to go quiet.

Meira and Ranathia both asked why she had just stopped talking. She hadn't really told them everything to make it more clear of what they heard from her. All they knew about were there were thirty Elian Crusaders which carried holy weapons. Other than that aside from the ones that represented nations later in their lives, they knew little about these people. There were familiar names they heard from the woman such as Aurelian, Lucent, Reishin, Magdalene, and lasty Atroshaniu. They remember Erialyss telling them about the Phaedrian Elians Magdalene and Atroshaniu, but Erialyss didn't know exactly how they were born. She suggests a logical reason that they were born after the Phaedrians used their knowledge of Holy Magic while maintaining a heavy defense at Ehtolia which eventually they heard their calls and started to descend onto the planet known as Gaea. She says that she was told that her parents were born from two divine entities.She believes the dishonorable entity known as Nyx mated with Hemera at Hemera's suggestion which gave birth to her mother and father. Her mother was mainly Nyx holy blood whereas her father was blessed by Hemera. Even though they believed what Erialyss said, everything she has said about her parents is completely unsupported, but it provides for a truth to their birth which is a distinct possibility.

Both girls were still heavily wrapped in thoughts about what they heard from Lady Siia. They were even more curious how she knew all this about the Elian Crusaders moreover how she knew about what looked like every holy weapon in existence. The woman was very mysterious where she covered most of her entire appearance with the black cloak she wore over her entire body. The clothes underneath her body they saw faintly didn't look like clothes of any civilization so far that had established itself on Gaea. They were shiny and made from an usual fabric. This just made the two more curious about who Siia really was. They didn't know her age, origin and in fact they knew hardly anything about this woman.

One thing that really bothered Ranathia which she tried to hide was the fact when she saw what that woman looked like. She resembled her so closely and she wanted to know why that was? Thoughts revolved around in her mind as she closely examined the woman who still was at silence not talking at all again. Why does this woman look like me? Other than an age difference, she looks really no different than me. That hair tone looks exactly like mine and those light blue eyes she has... This just feels so strange and makes me wonder if I have any relation at all to this woman. I mean, unlike most people I never knew anything about my parents. I know I had two brothers and a sister who was murdered, but even if they weren't brothers or sister by blood I still considered them my brothers and sister. I also know that Ranathia isn't my actual name. My mother and father gave me a name, but I don't remember what it was. In fact, I don't remember either of them or their faces. This just doesn't make any sense at all... Ranathia thought as a frustrated look overtook her face where Meira asked if she was okay. She just nodded at Meira trying to retain her composure.

"Ma'am?" A voice called out as the white door off to the side of the girl's opened where a guard cladded in black and white armored waltz in. He looked over Siia's direction and apologized for his interruption. She shook her head then just asked him, "What is it? There is no reason to feel uneasy around me. Just tell me what is on your mind." Siia said as she turned her attention toward the guard. She was upset at all by the guard's sudden interruption. No one was talking anyway and she didn't want to tell these girls more with people in the area which she didn't hardly know about. She closed her eyes for a moment and sensed the aura in the region and noticed the Dragonite child had come back. "So the hopeless one is back?" Pausing temporarily she lowered her voice a bit, "That Dragonite is sometimes an eyesore." She questioned as she had just sensed Nathan's aura in the air. The guard didn't understand what she meant by hopeless one or Dragonite thinking that it was just a joke, but the young boy that was with them earlier was back if that's what she meant.

"Also the King is ready for his audience with you." The soldier added as he kept the door cracked. He didn't want to impose on the woman who he thought looked very scary. Just her aura sent chills down his spine. He didn't think something so vicious looking would be completely harmless, but that didn't stop him from keeping his awareness up just in case it was a trick. "I suppose we shall get going then." Siia announced as she stood up from her chair and made her way toward the door. She stopped for a moment in place as Meira and Ranathia talked to each other collecting her thoughts from before the time she came into the room. Cautiously thinking toward herself, that woman we met earlier cannot be trusted. I'll remain a sentinel toward these girls and as long as I wield Broniac I'll always be able to protect them. Those two girls have the potential to destroy Avernus once and for all. Both are opposites that have become friends which in turn has strengthen their bonds and the holy blood that flows through their veins. I guess the New Children as the revelation revealed will lead the new era. I do know that this will be the final time my brother interferes with the course this world is going down. His influence over the world has been contagious and its his fault that Avernus is here in the first place. I have to remember to keep my guard up. He could be anywhere posing as anyone in this world. Even a mere peon could be my brother.

"Lady Siia, are you all right?" Meira and Ranathia asked as they saw the woman looked ill a moment ago, but she nodded explaining that she was fine and she was just deep in thought. She appreciated the two girls concern where she ordered the guard to open the door so they could step back into the hallway. When they reentered the hallway, various picture frames and ornaments adorned the hallway in elegant beauty. The roses that hanged toward the part of the wall the torches came out of kissed the wall caressing the side of the wall laying in silence unwavering. The pictures that hung on the wall told a lot about the history of the Guardia nation. Some were pictures of the inside of the castle, some were of a another castle, others were of the town or the royal family that was part of the Guardia lineage. When the three were back in he hallway they noticed a brunette haired boy approaching their direction who was dressed in armor. They knew it was Nathan where Meira and Ranathia questioned toward him, "What's wrong, Nathan? What is the rush in finding us? Didn't you enjoy your little tour?"

Nathan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Meria and Ranathia unharmed "oh thank god you two are okay. Listen, I know this might sound odd, but did that strange women do anything to you? Like maybe drug you? I only ask because that women who showed me her lab did that to me and I wasn't sure if there was some sort of plot to split us up before attacking. She claims she's here to find some kind of traitor, but I don't buy that. She made it quite clear that she has no love for Guardia, and in fact might even benefit from it's fall. So it wouldn't surprise me if she was really here with far more sinister goals in mind"

Nathan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Meira and Ranathia unharmed "oh thank god you two are okay. Listen, I know this might sound odd, but did that strange women do anything to you? Like maybe drug you?"

Meira was confused by the question Nathan just asked her and Ranathia didn't know what to think about it other than perhaps Nathan had been overwhelmed by taking a look at her lab and it was going to his head. Meira began by asking Nathan when she was completely confused, "Nathan, what do you mean by that?" She paused for a moment thinking about the drugging part which was even harder to understand why he would ask such a question where Ranathia answered for her, "No, that woman we just met didn't do anything to us. If she did, the grumpy woman over there." She paused temporarily taking her finger and pointing in briefly at Siia, "Would have known by now. I don't know what has gotten into you, but it looks like you've been under quite a spell of things."

"We're fine, Nathan." Meira added when Ranathia went silent. She looked over toward Siia, but she didn't say anything. Though her finger was underneath her chin which gave the impression she was thinking about something.

Nathan continued, "I only ask because that women who showed me her lab did that to me and I wasn't sure if there was some sort of plot to split us up before attacking. She claims she's here to find some kind of traitor, but I don't buy that. She made it quite clear that she has no love for Guardia, and in fact might even benefit from it's fall. So it wouldn't surprise me if she was really here with far more sinister goals in mind."

"Take this." The woman said toward Nathan as she threw him something she pulled out of her cloak. "It's a Neutralizer I made with my divine energy. Since it's pure holy power you may want to soak yourself with this." She added as she threw him another bottle which contained some holy water in it. "That's high grade Erufin Holy Water so do not waste it. It's hard to come-by and is very rare Just sprinkle your body with it then take that Neutralizer which will purify your body of any unwanted contagions that entered your body unexpectedly. Then come find me later and tell me exactly what that woman told you. I'll let you know after the summoning."

Taking both bottles, he said "thanks" before lightly sprinkling his body with the holy water, then he quickly chugged the Neutralizer. "Woah!" he shivered "that feels weird. Not weird in a bad, just...weird. Another wave of shivering traveled through his body "gah! It feels like my innards just got a deep scrubbing." Handing the holy water back to the woman, he said "thanks again. It feels like this stuff is working already, I'm starting to feel better" with the Neutralizer ingested, his mind felt far more clear then it did before. Nathan was pretty sure now that what that crazy lady gave him before wasn't an antidote. Not that it mattered anymore. "Just a heads up, I only drink water, milk, and medicine. Bad things happen when I drink anything else. So if I turn down a cup of tea or glass of poi-I mean alcohol, it's not out of disrespect. Just thought I'd get that out there"

The woman didn't say a word as she asked the guards to show them to the throne room. They passed through several hallways and flight of stairs before reaching the hallway. Meira and Ranathia were both beginning to think that going to the throne room was quite a chore in itself. Why was it so far up? Neither of them could answer that question before the guard said toward the girls, "This way please." He motioned toward them as he opened the large doors that revealed the throne room. The Guardia throne room was littered with all kinds of beauty. From glass painted windows that foretold its legacy all the way to picture frames and arrays of flowers and bouquets that rest on the wall. The three lady entered the room and walked across the blood red carpet that lead itself all the way up a few flight of stairs toward the where the king sat.

King Razhard:

Princess Eurasia:

Princess Alicia:

Castle of Guardia Throne Room:

Razhard started to speak toward the three as they approached the throne. He was pleased the two fine ladies could find their way easily toward his throne room and was very pleased them to meet them. He started his speech with, "Greetings ladies, I'm pleased that I can be at your acquaintance. I am King Razhard Guardia who rules over the Guardia Kingdom in my father's stead. But I'm sure you didn't come here to listen to me chat so I'll get right down to business. But first, he turned his eyes toward Eurasia who was again dressed inappropriately for the audience, "Not again, Eurasia! We have guests and you wear that distasteful wardrobe?"

Poor Princess Alicia could only grimace at what Alicia was wearing where she frowned and crossed her arms, "I'll wear what I want. I don't ever remember putting you in charge of my closet." She retorted in anger as she stood there seeming to like the outfit she chose. "Besides, the design is royalty." Razhard could only facepalm himself for a second where Alicia told him it was a waste of time to argue with Eurasia.

"Forgive me, I eluded myself from the point." He added as he turned his attention back toward the three ladies in front him.

Before he could continue the woman stepped forward then announced herself toward Razhard. His guards wanted to react to her impudence, but he gestured to them not to interfere. "King Razhard, from this day forward you will appoint me as your new strategist." Those were the first words that escaped the woman's mouth. Razhard couldn't believe what he had just heard and was even more confused as to why she would just want to force him to make her his strategist. He didn't even know who this woman was and the fact she covered her appearance didn't help. He stuttered on his words when he spoke toward her while his two sisters weren't happy that she just rudely interrupted him like that. "I don't.... even... know who you are?" He questioned as he almost choked on his words still shocked that she would suggest such a thing. Princess Alicia stood in front of Razhard and spoke toward the woman in anger, "How dare you just be so forceful with your words? Have you no refinement!" The woman turned her head away barely letting her eyes see her ranting, "What's it to you, little girl?" Alicia was upset about being called a little girl, but she didn't waste her breath on the woman when Razhard told her just not to argue with her. Meira and Ranathia were both shocked by what they had just heard and were at a loss of words as well.

"How do we not know you're an assassin hired by another nation that is trying to get close to the king? Look at the way you're dressed. Certainly someone would have come to that conclusion or the entire guard in this castle is a bunch of morons." A voice said as a man dressed completely in black armor walked right into the room.

"Perhaps these two girls were sent as accomplices?" He added as he approached the king still completely dressed in heavy black armor.

Dark Knight:

Nathan simply raised an eyebrow. He had never been in a...royal...meeting...thingy, before, so he wasn't sure what to expect. However, none of his hypothetical run through of it were anything like this. Leaning over to Meria, he whispered in her ear "hey, um...is this normal? I've never been in one of these things before, so I have no idea what they're supposed to be like. Hell, I'm not even sure what's going on right now. Is this some kind of pre-meeting banter or entertainment? Because I have got to admit; it is kind of funny"

Aira simply smiled at the confusion in the room, and weighing her options. She was off to the side, and just carefully watching the events unfold before her. One of her many options was to simple reveal Nathan as a dragonite right there. In the panic, either she or the dragon whelp would kill King Razhard. The cult was very accepting of flexible plans, and killing Razhard and possibly a few princesses would outweigh the other possible plans, but would be a major set back if she acted against Guardia and failed. It wouldn't be the greatest lost, and the panic would damage Guardia, but it might be to risky as off now. She would watch for her time to strike if any.

Siia knew the man in front of her all too well where she grabbed her cloak and threw it off to the side revealing the strange white clothes she wore underneath along with her long raven black hair. She then reached over placed her hand on the handle of the sword in its sheathe and brandished it. The sword was just a handle at first, but when she pulled it out the blade was showered with light and that is where the blade on it appeared. She jumped from her present position and stood in front of Razhard then stared the man down in the room, "You were the reason we almost lost the war against Avernia, Azmaldus. Why did you betray us?" She questioned toward Azmaldus where he just grinned at her. Meira and Ranathia told Nathan to stand back where Meira answered Nathan, "Now's not the time for small talk."

Meira took out of her scabbard her famous sword Meleitling and Ranathia grabbed a gold rod that was on her back which turned into her scepter Elaire Vastral. The man just continued to grin where Meira overheard that Siia just said the name Azmaldus. That was the name of her grandfather and it was the name of her mother's father. "Grandfather?" Meira questioned still left in confusion. The guards took their position in front of Razhard who wasn't too happy about this man just barging into the room and making random accusations. The man continued as he grinned, "So many Elian descendants gathered in this room. This must truly be fate." He grinned as he reached into his scabbard pulling out his sword though he let it rest at his side.

"I'm honored to meet the three holy weapons Elaire Vastral, Meleitling and lastly Broniac again." He added as he examined the weapons in the three girls hands closely. The two princesses took up defensive positions with their brother not trying to make the situation worse by saying something they might regret.

"Too bad junior there doesn't have one." He smiled sinisterly at Nathan. Meira was still unable to accept her own grandfather stood in front of her with his blade brandished at her. What would make him do such a thing?

Nathan, able to easily recognize the hostile atmosphere, drew his twin swords Ysera and Nozdormu. "Okay" he began "I'm hearing a lot of names for the first time here, and I've certainly never heard about any 'Holy Weapons.' So somebody needs to catch me up to speed here, because I think I might have missed a few steps and am feeling completely lost; who the hell is that guy, and why do we want to kill him!?" He began to build up fire in his lungs, preparing a ranged attack in case he needed it

Corraidhìn stood in the shadows on a balcony overlooking King Razhard's throne room. He had just barely been able to sneak this far into his palace, causing the deaths of several guards in the process. Unfortunately, the building was like a labyrinth. He had gotten lost numerous times as he searched for the room with the documents he needed inside. He needed to know when the best time to strike Windgrace, and the only way to know for sure would be to when Windgrace would be most vulnerable, and who would no such a thing better than King Razhard himself. He had accidentally wandered into the throne room. Definitely not where he wanted to be. He would have made his way out as quickly as possible, but he saw something odd happening in the room. He spotted three women and a man, all weapons drawn toward one man dressed black as night, an evil grin on his face. Suddenly, an awful, impossible, idea swept across him. Suddenly he drew his mace, and flicked open his magic book with his other hand. He leaped down from the balcony and landed facing the man in black, ready to fight.

Azmaldus looked over in Siia's direction reminding her that they would meet again. He knew full well she wanted to do battle with him and the same he wanted to cross blades with her, but it looked like the situation had taken a turn for the worse. "We will meet on the battlefield, Siia. We will settle our differences there." He said toward the woman who had the look in her eyes of hatred where he immediately returned his sword to its sheathe. Azmaldus decided that he would step down from conflict and also take the time to apologize to the young king for the rudeness of his words earlier. He only wanted to make a point and it look like a couple people took it the the wrong way. The two girls lowered there weapons and even though hesitation lit up in her eyes she returned Broniac to its sheathe and stood down.

Razhard, himself, who tried to approach the people who had made a mess of his throne room had no words about what just happened. He wasn't entirely sure how it all transpired by, but he ordered his two sisters and the guards in the room to lower their weapons as well. He turned his eyes over toward Azmaldus with fire in his eyes. He hated Azmaldus for many reasons of his own. One of the many reasons is he tried to get him killed and he suspects that Azmaldus was the one who killed his adoptive father Delmiund. "What do you want, Azmaldus! What in the hell does the Pangaea Order want now?" He said as his words were inspired by anger and revenge. The only thing that prevented him from striking Azmaldus down was the fact that he was in the presence of his sisters.

Azmaldus continued to grin as he took a step back and turned his eyes of toward the person who just flipped their book open. He wasn't really concerned about them since it would be suicidal for anyone to think they could attack each other without casualties. He responded toward this man who just appeared out of nowhere, "I have no intention of fighting you. If you wish to fight me then save it for the battlefield. Besides." He said as his grin shifted into a more serious stare and expression on his face, "I'm here on official business from the Pangaea Order."

Several individuals entered the room along with Azmaldus confirming the situation. These individuals didn't wear the same colors as Azmaldus though they did bear the same insignia that was on the chest of his armor. An eagle like symbol of gold and black with a star which had the initials PG on it which indicated they too were from the Pangea Order. One was a man with silver hair dressed in mostly blue and he was accompanied by a woman in a kimono like outfit with a golden glass clear mirror in her hand. Her hair streamed down toward her thighs as it caressed the backside of her kimono and covered up the PG symbol she bared on her clothes. Her kimono like outfit she wore bear mostly symbolic flowery like designs that stretched down almost the entire outfit.

Stepping forward the silver haired man introduced himself as Azmaldus stepped aside to allow him and the woman who accompanied him to pass-by him. "I will be brief with my request, King Razhard. But in return for the return of Daeslurph toward its rightful place we as the Order have agreed to assist you and lift all sanctions we previously installed against the Kingdom of Guardia."

His two sisters stepped forward with their hands placed close toward their rapiers, "Razhard no! We can't trust this man. He is the reason father is dead. Him and that evil horrible fiend that is standing off to the side of him!" She protested where he motioned his sisters to step aside and let him deal with the matter. The three girls didn't act at all since this was an official visit from a nation. Any foolish actions would spark a diplomatic incident and possibly put them at odds with the Order. They didn't trust the Order and Meira had questions of her own for her grandfather to answer, but she would wait until another time.

Drausius and Lady Ishtora:

"I will not hand over the spear that rightfully belongs to me. I am an Idris descendant and Emerlink's Spear of Salvation Daeslurph was meant to belong to me. It is an heirloom of my ancestor and everything he stood for. I will not surrender it to you so easily." Razhard refused the man's request knowing that it could possibly lead to relations to become worse between Guardia and the Pangaea Order.

"Can't we just kill these filthy beings, Drausius dear?" The woman chuckled at the silver haired man where he shook his head at her then turned it toward Razhard and did the same in disappointment. Before he could respond soldiers waltzed into the room followed by two nobles. One that had dark blue hair who pulled out a black and gold magic tome that he unlocked by swiping his hand across it. The large letters Phantasa Magorias could be seen on the title of the book. He looked in the person who just opened their book while keeping his glyph formed on his hand, "Put your book away or I'll make sure you never use magic again. Only a coward attacks in such a manner as you do. I will also like to remind you the tome I hold is far more powerful and is one of the two most powerful magic tomes in existence. It is Phatasma Magorias or otherwise known as the Book of Judgment." The blue haired man threatened toward the individual as platinum haired girl met up with him standing beside him with a large claymore like blade in her hand resting on the ground. The girl had blue eyes and platinum colored hair streamed past her posterior.

"I am Luther Vanslandaiya and I am of the House of Vanslandaiya and this is." He tried to introduce the girl, but she stepped in front of him and started talking. "Chloris Ingrassia and this sword is Einsatz or the Sword of Elan. I am from the House of Ingrassia. I will protect the King with every ounce of my life and this sword will help me accomplish just that! Soldiers block the entrances!" She ordered as soldiers gathered around every entrance and sealed off each exit so no one could escape.

"I will not ask what brought you here, but I will request you leave now. That means get out of my sight before I change my mind." Luther added as he spoke toward the intruder one last time. Afterward, he sighed at what Chloris just had ordered the soldiers to do. She was just making the situation worse.

Chloris looked at everyone in the room then started to speak toward them all, "The whole castle guard is on alert and it won't be long until the other nobles join in this fight." She paused for a moment as she stepped forward further dragging her sword's weight with her. "We can either settle this peacefully, those who do not belong here and have no intention of negotiating can leave this room and no questions asked or we can do this the hard way and those who intrude will not leave here alive. The choices are yours."

Luther Vanslandaiya:

Chloris Ingrassia:

Nathan groaned "oh just great. This is going to be one of those fights." In the years that Nathan spent on the road, there was only one type of battle that he truly loathed with all of his being; the kind where random people keep on appearing, and everyone spends most of the fight needlessly talking. Being the straightforward kind of person he was, Nathan had put an end to pointless talking in many of these fights with a well aimed fire ball. However, it wasn't the same this time. Not only was he surrounded with very flammable looking things, but this was a place that he didn't want to see completely wrecked. So, he had to take a different approach "Look, can we just skip the talking!? It's clear that this is going to end in a fight. So I think it would make a lot more sense to just skip the pointless hours of arguing and just get to the fight!"

"Everyone halt." Aira shouted. She stepped in between the Pangeons and Razhard, facing the intruders. "If there is a fight, I shall defend my king to the bitter end." she said. She revealed her red gloves which she had keep hidden in her sleeves. On each of her gloves was the mark of Xi, which was a three-layered circle. The outer most layer was blue, the middle layer green, and the inner-most layer was white. Shen then pulled out two veils of unmarked green fluids hidden in her alchemy robes.
