"Well, I knew Tritannus had some problems, but that they'd drive him this far?" Niobe and Teredor, Aisha's parents, had just received word of what had happened during the coronation-ceremony of Neptune's heir.
"I agree." Teredor looked over the brief letter his brother-in-law had send him. "This will send them all into turmoil, don't you think?"
"I am certain Neptune has everything under control." Niobe answered. "Doesn't the letter say he send Tritannus to the dungeons? It is near impossible to get out of those without outside help and I doubt anyone will have any sympathy for Tritannus now."
"True…" Her husband agreed, rising from his throne. "Perhaps a visit is in order?"
She joined him as he watched out over their blue planet. "It has been quite a while since we did that." She agreed. "Should we ask Aisha along?"
"Isn't she still on Earth?" Teredor wondered. "And giving a concert right now?"
Niobe looked at the clock hidden from view from most of the Throne-room. "Yes, you're right. So we shall go tomorrow, I presume?"
"Most likely." Teredor turned to the exit. "I will send a messenger to see if he can receive us."
Niobe watched him leave the room, soon turning to leave herself through the side-entrance. She gracefully ascended the many stairs to the private wing of the castle, her dress rustling in the silence.
She stopped abruptly. It shouldn't be this silent at this time of day. She turned to look through the hallway she had just walked. There was no one, despite the fact that there should at least be two guards at the faraway door considering it was the entrance to the family-wing. She narrowed her eyes as she started to walk back to the door. Those guards would be in serious trouble.
"Hello, auntie." The voice came from her original destination. She wheeled around, her dress swirling around her legs.
"Tritannus." She breathed, seeing him sitting on the far windowsill while holding a trident. "How did you escape?"
"So dad already informed you?" He asked, twirling the trident in his hands. "I guess I should have expected everyone would be told that the perfect son got attacked by the outsider of the family, no?"
"No, he warned us that you had gone off the deep end." Niobe approached him. "He was your brother and you tried to kill him. What else was your father supposed to do? Simply hand you the crown?"
"Perhaps nothing of this would have happened had he remembered he had another son." Tritannus hissed, hitting the wall with his trident. "But no, it is always 'Nereus this, Nereus that' and Tritannus is only good for complaints."
"Perhaps you should have told him that rather than try to kill your brother?" Niobe demanded, coming to a standstill about two feet from him. "Such actions ensure that there is only complaining about you. You yourself are to blame for your family's behavior towards you."
His head snapped towards her and before she could even realize what was happening she was thrown against the stone wall.
His trident still faintly glowed with the power used as he crossed the hallway to check up on her. Thankfully he had only knocked her out. That he wanted his father and brother to pay did not mean he wanted the same for the rest of his family. He looked up when hearing someone in the faraway corridor.
He was about to jump out of the window when he suddenly got a brilliant idea. He turned back, lifting his aunt up and jumping out of the window with her securely held in his arms. Just as he disappeared out of view the door opened, revealing his uncle.
