Author's Note: This story takes place just after episode 70 in Season 2 after they find the ruins and the village gets started! Do not tell me after another episode airs that my story cannot make sense, I know it won't.
My name is Lani, a Meif~wa from the Tula Region. I left with my friends, Kichi, Sophi, Cari, Ari, and Xander, to live a different life. Xander and I are the guards of my camp and I am "lord" of the camp. Kichi is our main farmer, although I help her, Ari is our merchant, she sells a lot of paintings too. Cari and Sophi are the "entertainers" and they are my main advisers. I take a look around from my sitting spot on top of our crates and boxes and look around. Kichi is tending her small vegetable garden, Cari and Sophi are talking to Ari about plans to build her a small boat to go off and trade on rather than by horse to villages near our area. Where's Xander? I think. He's been out all morning.
"Lani!" I hear Xander call. He seems to be far away. I pick up my leather bag and jump down to meet him.
"Xander? What's going on!" I call as he bursts through the small gate we have.
"Lani" He pants for a second, "Lani! O'khasis! Is being invaded! They might try to go through the enchanted forest to come find villages for refuge!"
"Xander?! Who's invading them? And how do you know about this?" I ask him suddenly worried for our saftey. Our camp isn't well protected and we don't have many guards to fight on our side.
"The King is invading them..." He said solemnly. The king he is talking about is our old king from the Tula Region.
I grab his hand and drag him to the others who are staring intently at us after hearing our conversation.
"So it's true?" Kichi asks in a gentle tone, as she feeds our 6 horses, "O'khasis is being invaded?"
"So I shouldn't bother getting a boat? I was planning on trading with major power houses in the region..." Ari said as Cari marked something out of her list.
"Yes... We need to speak with Lord Levin! Wait Xander? How did you know...?" I ask him.
"Lord Cadenza told me. She said to tell you as fast as she could!" He states as though trying to prove himself innocent of a crime.
"We need to speak with Lord Levin and Miss Aphmau! Now!" I say and saddle my horse and wait for the others by the gate. When the others arrive, we set off to the Phoenix Drop gate.
