The party erupted into chaos. Little Princess Selene was crying and screaming a a liquid burbled on her skin. Therefore, Channary was yelling at the top of her lungs, "GO GET THE DOCTORS! NOW! WHOEVER DID THIS IS GOING TO BE DEAD!" Everyone was either getting the doctors or just purely trying to get out of the chaos.
Channary was pacing outside Dr. Darnel's office. She had been for the last half hour. They wouldn't let her in because she might distract the doctor. Finally, Dr. Darnel stepped out of the room.
"Is she okay?!" Channary asked.
"She will be fine, at least for now. There is a problem, though."
"WHAT PROBLEM?!" Channary completely lost her patience.
"She was given a mutant form of letumosis. Whoever gave it to her must have given her a toxin before hand to make her susceptible to it. They did make a mistake, though. The mutant letumosis wasn't quite strong enough, so it didn't kill her. If she gets it again though, it will."
"So how do we prevent her from getting it again?"
"Well, it has two weaknesses. It can only affect children, and it can only survive on Luna."
"What are you saying?..."
"I'm saying that if you want to make sure that Selene survives, she is going to have to live on earth until she outgrows the disease, until she is 16."
"WHAT! YOU CAN'T JUST TAKE MY BABY AWAY LIKE THAT?!"
"I'm sorry, but if she is to live and one day inherit the throne, she must leave Luna for now. Whoever gave her the disease is likely to try again if she stays. And, if she goes to earth, no one must know who she is."
"But it will save her life." Channary had started to calm down.
"Yes", Dr. Darnel replied.
"When should she leave?"
"Tomorrow morning. The sooner the better."
"Okay. I'll get Sybil to set up a podship."
"Wait. Remember, no one must know where she is. Not your thaumaturges, not your sister, no one. Just you and me."
"So how will she get to earth?"
"I'll take her. But you will have to pretend that we died. That she died from the disease, and took me along with her. That way no one is suspicious."
"Okay. But if you hurt a hair on her head, I will torment you until you last breath.'
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The next, morning, they were gone. Everyone thought Princess Selene and Dr. Darnel were taken by letumosis. But they were not the only ones who left. There was one more baby on that escape podship. Her name was Cress.
