It had been a long, restless night for the royal court of Sadida. Between trying to reassure the other nations that there was nothing to worry about, while also trying to get information on where Qilby, the young dragons and the Eliacube had disappeared to, the past few days had been exhausting.
King Sheran Sharm was still awake as the sun rose, but not because of the strange occurrences that had taken place. Amalia, his only daughter, was still out in the unknown. Without a single letter from her, he couldn't be sure that his child was safe.
What if Qilby really had taken the Eliacube? Could he be heading her way? He knew little of the supposed Eliatrope king, and had no idea if he'd show mercy to his fourteen-year-old daughter. This thought had him up and down all night, until he had finally settled on watching the rising sun.
'Please Sadida,' he thought, 'protect my daughter and her friends. Keep them out of harms way, even if only for a little while.'
Seeing how the sun began to color the sky in bright hues, he barely noticed the sound of rushing footsteps outside his room, before his door was thrust open.
"Your majesty!" a Cra guard began, standing firmly by the door. "I apologize for the intrusion, but it seems there is an emergency in the court yard, and I will need you to follow me."
He wasted no time pacing after the Cra woman. As they descended the stairs that led to his bedchambers, he began to ask for more information on the emergency.
"What's the status of the current situation?" he questioned. "Exactly what is the problem?"
Her shoulders tensed. "It seems a large creature is preparing to land in the royal courtyard." She answered, quickening her pace. "The creature appears to be a fully grown dragon, so we can only assume that the Brotherhood of Tofu had returned."
The brotherhood? If the dragon did happen to be carrying the brotherhood, than his daughter would be among them. Noting that, he continued to follow the Cra woman.
"King Sheran Sharm!" someone yelled from behind him, a voice he immediately recognized as Alibert "Is it true? Have they returned?"
"It seems so. If you wish to see, follow us to the courtyard, and there we will know for sure."
And so they ran in line, praying to their respectable Gods that their children were safe.
Short filler chapter. Cool. Great. Fantastic.
Three weeks of writing block and a con kicked my ass, sorry for not updating. I'll probably try to update again this week with a longer chapter but dont put money on it.
