CHAPTER 1 LUXA THE UNDERLANDER
After Gregor had left the Underworld, Luxa could barely think. All she could think of was Gregor. She kept recalling their first meeting, their last kiss, and everything else that had happened in between. Since he had left, Luxa went up secretly (without the council knowing) to the rock and sat there for a few minutes every night, thinking of Gregor.
Luxa tried to not show anyone how much she missed Gregor, but it was not easy hiding it when everything seemed to remind her of him.

Luxa: We must try to rebuild this city as fast as we can. The cutters may find a way to attack, and with many of our warriors… warriors…
Ripred: Queen! The warriors… what? Ohhh… I see now. When you say warrior you think of your love Gregor, correct?
Luxa: angrily No, I am not thinking of Gregor… I… I just… merely lost track of what I was going to say.
Ripred: Mm-hmm? All right then… do you know now what you were going to say?
Luxa: Uhh… yes. The cutters will try to find a way to attack, and with many warriors dead any many wounded, it will be hard to defend our city.
Council: That is an excellent statement. So, for now, we focus all of our energy on rebuilding this city. Meeting is dismissed.
Mareth and Ripred whispering
Ripred: She misses Gregor. I have to admit, although he was annoying and extremely clueless at times, this place seems a bit empty… and Lizzie…
Mareth: Yes, I know too. Queen Luxa seems to be under much stress. Have you looked at her face? She has barely gotten any sleep, and I think that the issue of reconstruction has tired her immensely. To add on top of that, Gregor is gone so she is worried for him.
Howard joining with them
Howard: What is it you speak of right now?
Ripred: Our dear queen is under sooo much stress, and she is missing her love.
Howard: I have noticed that as well. Will the council allow her to go up to see him, or let him come to see her?
Mareth: I doubt they ever will. And, the Warrior's mother is pretty strict herself.
Howard: Yes. Then, what are we going to do about Luxa?
Luxa calls out to them
Luxa: What are the three of you clustered about for? There is too much work needed to be completed for anyone to be chatting…
Ripred: Nothing, just nothing. We were just discussing strategy of rebuilding the city.
Luxa: All right then. Well, I must get back to my chambers. Hazard said he wants to see me after the council meeting was over. Howard, you should be seeing to the wounded. Ripred, Lapblood said she has need of you…

Then, Luxa turned around and walked off to her chambers.
