“Queen Ariana,” Sampson approaches the edge of the pool in the Docking Station. He smiles warmly, a genuine greeting. “Welcome home.”

“Thank you, Fychu,” she nods in return as Chancellor Keller climbs off the Stancimis, offering her his hand. She takes it and dismounts, the guards moving around her in a protective huddle.

“I trust you had a good trip?” Sampson keeps to her side and the two start for the Great Hall. Chancellor Keller and the guards follow behind.

“It was very beneficial.”

“Wonderful. I do not suppose you would have time—?”

“The queen is on a very strict schedule at the moment,” Chancellor Keller inches closer to Ariana. “She has only just returned and much needs to be done.”

“Yes, of course…but you must be made aware that there was another attack near the city—”

“Another attack?” Queen Ariana stops and everyone halts with her. “When?”

“Two days ago.”

“Why was I not notified of this?” She faces the chancellor.

He throws Sampson a look before focusing on the queen again. “I, myself, was only informed of this a short while ago. There are items needing to be discussed, your Highness. Although,” he leans in, lowering his voice, “it is best to do so in private first.”

“Of course,” Sampson agrees. “But we have information the good chancellor does not and it is vital that it be shared immediately. Once you have finished discussing in private, I would request opening the conversation to include a few more members?” He gestures behind him.

Ariana follows the Fychu’s focus to us, the humans in the back. She must see Tucker because her face softens the tiniest bit.

“Yes. Of course, Fychu. I will retire to my chamber for some rest, but tonight we shall meet to discuss everything you wish to. Chancellor,” she turns to him. “If you would not mind, please prepare this.”

Yes, your Highness.”

Ariana nods and with a final glance back over us, she heads for the Great Hall, Chancellor Keller and the guards enveloping her again. Sampson moves to the side, watching as the group disappears into the tunnel.

“Well that went well,” Clarence grins at his friend. “Could the chancellor be any more upset that you shared the news first?”

“If he was wise, he would have told her as soon as he knew.”

“She has only been queen for a week,” Blovid reminds him. “I believe he is trying to ease her into the process.”

“She has lost her mother and both sisters in a matter of months; I do not think there is any ease to this process,” the Fychu spins around to the rest of us. “Later we will speak with Queen Ariana and finally have an idea of what this next week will consist of. Either she will keep the Shadow Bag on Mybyncia and we’ll return to Nerwolix to prepare for the invasion of Dellapalania, or we shall bring the Gift back and figure out how to find the Floating Ruby.”

“What do you think?” Werzo nudges Tucker’s elbow. “Will she let us have it?”

“How should I know?”

“You’re the one that boinked her.
