*Pierre* I was slipping into a new routine easily. After the fighting pit, I was given time to bathe and eat. Before I knew it, Sadragon was informing me that we were going on patrol. I was going to be his second. Meaning I was to follow his steps and learn what was needed for me to do. For the longest time, we were crouched. The bushes are our camouflage. Nothing was being said as our eyes studied the terrain. I reminisce on my time in the woods doing as I am now, being close to the land, Mother Earth. It was the closest to calm I ever was, minus my time spent with Merna. The hairs on the back of my neck started to stand up. This only happened when there was some form of danger. I motioned to Sadragon the need to search the land behind us. At first, he was confused as my need to move became prominent. A lot can be side with facial movement and hand gestures. Merna took a while to understand such language yet Sadragon understood everything I was saying without talking. As we neared the point of my uneasy feeling, we spotted a female wandering around the woods. Sadragon motioned me to not move as he dealt with the situation. It was very clear to me after a moment that the female was not supposed to be out in the woods. While Sadragon had a strong grip on the female. He formed what he called a portal or magickal doorway. We dragged the female spy back to the cells I was familiar with. Closing the door, “no female is to be out wandering the land.” Sadragon started to inform me. “Unless they are supervised!” I was following Sadragon, “What do we do next?” “I will have to inform the Master … if he is occupied, I will have to find Ashur!” Sadragon informed me as we stomped down the halls. *Ashur* My siblings and I were summoned by Zefer. This could mean only one thing, she has a plan and we are expected to aid her in her attempts. I strolled into our meeting place. Each time one of us was coming up with a coup, we would gather in the oldest parts of Father’s kingdom. “What brings us here this time Zefer, I have a list of ITs that I am to be visiting?” I asked as I approached my siblings. “Brother!” Kudiya greeted me with our traditional handshake. “I am shocked you took time to come here!” “We have a problem!” Zefer announced, “Father’s IT needs to be put in her place!” Of all my siblings I was shocked, “I agree, it is out of control and father does nothing!” Anatu spoke up. Of all of us, she was the last one to speak ill. “What did she do to you Anatu?” I questioned her. Crossing her arms in front of her she pouted. “When I tried to use my power of suggestion, she didn’t do as I told her. Then when I was going to punish a serf for talking out of term she stopped me. Plus she spoke to me as if she was an equal!” She cried. Alma added to the conversation, “I heard from a birdy that it was able to stop others from moving. Daddy could not even break its spell when it froze Zefer like a statue.” “No one is stronger than our father!” Kudiya would not believe what Alma had announced to the group. “IT needs to go!” Zefer’s eyes were glowing red. Nin, the second youngest added to the conversation, “Zefer you might have forgotten one small little detail, IT is father’s consort in training! Father may not have publicly told everyone, but the rumours are spreading and they have been seen together … A LOT!” Zefer was more agitated now, “of course daddy has not made it public yet!” She yelled. “Not to mention father has placed her in the chamber that is joined to his.” Sabit the third youngest added with a bit of unease with this conversation. “I agree father’s little pet is a problem.” Kudiya started. “It did not respond to the punishment as the other human borns would have. If we are to get rid of the little rabbit we have to be wise about this.” I listened to the group as they chatted back and forth. “Does father know her bloodline?” Nin asked us. We all glanced at each other seeing if any one of us had the answer. “I remember our father saying to it!” Anatu had a lot of hatred towards this female, her tone gave it away. “Her creator was keeping her hidden so father agreed with her and is doing the same!” Sabit piped up, “if she is protected by her creator and father, that means she is untouchable Zefer. We can not do anything to her without feeling father’s wrath.” “Who is her creator?” I asked Anatu.“The mother of all mothers, Pinapancam … one of the father’s sisters.” Anatu motioned her head to glare at her feet. “I HATE HER!” Anatu said as she brought her head back up. “I am not messing with Pinapancam’s creation!” Sabit declared. The majority of us agreed except Anatu, Zefer and Alma, I was still undecided. I crossed my arms in front of my chest, “what else do you know about father’s consort?” “Besides what was spoken of, ITs eyes glowed sapphire and I believe she does blood magick!” Zefer tilted her head to the side showing her attitude and temper. “Mummy told us that we are to leave it alone. Whatever we are thinking, we need to stop it!” Alma added to what Zefer had said. I shook my head while I was speaking, “With all of this information!” I glued my sight to Zefer, ” You are out of your mind! You have no idea what bloodline she is. This hybrid is well protected … The only way you can get rid of her is to prove that she is not capable of performing the task. You would have to prove that she has betrayed Father.” “To add to this it still has not eaten!” I could tell that Anatu was not happy with the fact she could not get her father’s little pet to eat. Alma jumped up and down, “this shouldn’t be that hard … All we have to do is keep an eye on it! Once she messes up … we grab her!” Alma was proud of her plan. We all glanced at each other and smiled, “That will do! Sabit said with a chuckle. “Then it is a plan!” Zefer strolled into the centre of the group, “we will keep an eye on it, when IT messes up, we have her and our father will see that it is not different then the others.” “After all, we are the only ones that can truly be trusted!” Anatu smiled sweetly!
