"Illyn why do you say I'm a traitor? Is it the man I married? His religious beliefs that I follow now as tradition tells of me to do? The Fruit of my Womb? Or are you just a bitter women plotting our Queens demise for falling for the man I love? She loves no one but her brother and her people. This isn't how the world ends. For it is far darker then whatever the Fallen, Hive, and Vex could ever bring. And we are powerless to stop it." Techeun Kalli

While the Awoken have a set of Rules to govern them. Not many can stop a political one made in Love. The Queen knows this. The Techeuns know this. Bit Many in the Reef wondered if they are revealing themselves to the last City. After all the loses they suffered from the Reefs Wars. But a Human not even a full blooded Awoken. A half breed. Has somehow gained Favor of the Queen. Which was odd. Though it was also unusual for a Techeun to ever get married.

Some time ago

Reef

Illyn looked at the youngest of there order. For some time why one of them would marry an outsider was beyond her.

"But alas Illyn" many said. "Why do you hate this man? Is it because he is not Awoken? Is it maybe you are jealous that the youngest of us was married before you?"

Illyn understood why. Politics where quite bothersome. But why HIM. He was not royalty from the City. In fact HE was banished from the city. Forced to be a Ambassador. Not many know that. Kalli. They where tought not to desire. But SHE desired. Not just the power of her amulet. But trivial things as well. Having a family of her own. That should have been furthest from Kallis mind.

She is happy. She can see that. But Non of this was the way. The Techeuns way. She watched as the youngest of there Coven focused her concentration on a young Harbinger. But then she faltered. The Harbinger then stopped glowing where it stood. But its warm light didn't go away. It was still there. Like a hymn. if starlight similar to that of there Queen. Kalli held a hand to her mouth and to her flat stomach. As if trying to not hurl if as if she had eaten something wrong.

She then lifted her head to see the Harbinger. Its small ray of light was so close to the glass. As if trying to see what was wrong with its caretaker. Illyn lips curled into a frown. She then decide to walk up to the young one. Her eyes while covered by her special helm. Wondered to her wanting to know.

"Tell me child what ill prevented you from focus?" The Coven mother asked.

"It is nothing Techeun Illyn. Nothing that I can not handle." She answered in reply.

"Lying only makes me more concerned Kalli. Tell me what is it?" Illyn said sternly.

"If you have seen what happened. Then it should have already been obvious." Kalli said.

Illyn rose an eye brow in confusion. She still didn't know what she was talking about. But then it came to. Her sudden need to almost Vomit. Kallis hand defensively covering her stomach. As a matter in fact. There was a good week or so ago after her "Marriage ceremony" she was in her bed chambers with THAT man.

"Impossible! Its not even been a week sense that day!" Illyn stated.

"I dont know why ether that I fell them at this early stage." Kalli replied smiling down at her stomach as both of her hands rubbed it.

"Twins?"

"We wanted twins. Though I'm uncertain. I feel two warm lights in me. Why do you look so hesitant?" Kalli said.

Illyns gaze narrowed at her.

"Your focus should only be on the Queen and the Awoken people she Rules. Not on this...These half breeds!" Illyn said.

Kalli now feeling threatened took a step back the Harbinger followed. As if it was drawn to her.

"You know that to desire is not of the Techeun. Kalli your blood is Tanted. And fore what that half breed of a man? He was banished from the tower secretly because the Speaker feared his sway of a group of people! He was sent here and welcomed to be a Ambassador between us and the city in secret. But he is of no noble line. More like a peasant! If anyone you should have taken it should have been Prince Uldren."

"I would rather die tgen let that man have my hand! Joab as proven time and time again he is a noble warrior! One that the Speaker sent away like a fool. But I have gained something as he had from that. You will not force me to leave him. As he has not left me! He is loyloyal to the Queen and to the last city. He has demonstrated that while he is just a simple solider. He is more then what you will ever realize. And weather you like it or not Illyn. I am his. And he is mine."

Kalli left Illyn on that bridge. The Harbinger followed outside in the vacuum of space. As if protective of Kalli. Which is odd for Harbingers to do snese they are merely weapons that the Techeun and the Queen can master and use. Illyn didn't like this. She saw how focused Kalli and the Harbinger have bonded.

"Only I have the power to control the Harbingers like the Queen." she said to herself. "I have seen beyond the veil. To places only the Queen can go. I will show you what a Techeun should have been!"

"Are you Jealous of her?" a new voice broke the silence in the room.

"No my Queen." Illyn replied turning to Mora Sov. "Are you not jealous? She married the man related to your mothers friend. They where planning on having you marry Violets son yet he chose Kalli? Does that not make you angry my Queen?"

"What he decides I will respect. If he Chose Kalli over me then so be it. He is faithful to her and her alone. Joab is a good man for anyone to have. However dont let your position of power go to your head. Illyn. It will only make you look like a disgrace in the end."

"Is not the Queen to have what she truly desires?" Illyn asked.

"I can force him to do many things for me. But his heart i will never have. Sense it belongs to another." Mora Sov replied.

"Yet you love him? Why my Queen. He is a outsider. Yet you welcomed him? Accepted him to be a Ambassador from the Speaker. Why!?"

"Because its what my mother would have done for her best friend. They where both upung at the time. Violet Voltaire was apart of a Noble Clan but left the Reef long ago. Yet here is her son. They talked about arranging our marriage but when they left they stopped talking about so it wasn't set in stone."

"So because of what your mother wanted. You love him?"

"No This is different."

"You know the law states that whomever a Techeun marries. The Queen or King has also a say in whether or not they may have children with. You can have him by law anyway."

Mora glared at Illyn. Its gaze from her blue eyes glowed with hate.

"I am many things Techeun Illyn. But a usurper isn't one of them. I will not take what is Right fully Kallis and thats FINAL." Mora spat before leaving the Techeun to her thoughts.

Thoughts to weaken both Kallis and Mora Sovs lines.
