Three days later Lantis, Zagato, and their mother and father reached the
castle. They were welcomed into the beautiful castle. Three hundred lamps
shaded by sparkling crystal were along the walls ontop if three hundred
burning candles. Intracate patterns of blue and green tiles lined the
floors Flowers arranged in blue glass vases, wine pitchers made from giant
seashells, green silk curtains lined the windows. Black deerhorn and white
elkhoof boxes and ornaments lined the tables. Royal Banners hung in the
hallway of a dragon stylized into simple elegant lines, the bold arches of
the outstretched wings balanced the proud lift off the beasts head. Gold on
Blue the dragon was crowned with a thin circlet ans held a small ring with
a real emeralds sown into the cloth. Of course non of this impressed the
family walking down the hallway to the main chamber. They had been here
before so It wasn't a surprise. A knock echoed through the halls of the
throne room. All eyes turned as the guards moved slightly from their
positions to open the doors to reveal Zagato and Lantis first then behind
them their mother and father.
Emeraudes hair was brushed and braided. A thin veil of silvery gray silk
was drappedd over her head and was secure with a few plain pins. The gown
she wore was a good fit and by far the prettiest thing she ever wore. she
wore a long velvet gown that was a silver color with spaggetti straps. The
straps criss crossed on her back. The neckline was a low cut U neckline.
Revealing some cleavage. The color glistened a bit in the light giving
her a mystical look. Around her neck was a gold chian that had an
emerald on it. Around her head was a gold circlet. Her eyes fluttered at
the site of the handsome Zagato. Lantis's heart quickened at the sight of
her yet no emotion showed on his face. Zagato the same reaction. Ferio was
adorned in princely garb. A white shirt and white pants along with a white
cloak. His green hair back in a pony tail. He rolled his golden eyes seeing
the two walk in knowing what was going to happen.
"We've been expecting you." Said clef as he rose from his chair as short as ever.
" Sorry to be late guru " Lantis's dad said. " We had some trouble getting here."
The guru glanced the family over and shook his head. His purple hair falling in his face.
" and you look like a mess too. You are the last to arrive. .. Emeruade Ferio.. Please take lantis and Zagato to get cleaned up. "
"yes guru of course we'd be delighted too! " cried Emeruade as she ran over to zagato. She caught herself and walked over gracefully.
" why not come with me and we'll get you cleaned up. " She said with a wink to him.
Ferio just exchanged a look with Lantis no words exchanged as they left first. As they were leaving Zagato and Lantis could hear the parents talking.
" Alycione's village was attacked. They had no time to get out. There is no word of survivors..."
a gasp was heard from the mother. "that's horrible! The poor child. Have the soilders been sent out?"
" yes everythings been done we're waiting on the latest reports "
The door was slammed shut as the children went to get dressed.
" emmi.. I'll be back.." Said Zagato as he ran out of the castle. Summoning his own animal and riding off.
" Zagato wait!!" She cried her voice filled with despiration.
Lantis and Ferio turned to see what was happening. Ferio looked at Lantis and Lantis looked at Ferio.
" Whats he up to Lantis?"
" I'll show you when I get cleaned up."
"We've been expecting you." Said clef as he rose from his chair as short as ever.
