Chapter 9
Late King
I yawned, and rubbed my eyes, hearing the crash, and the probably crunch of bones,
"Van?" I asked, "You ok?" I saw a tangle of sheets on the floor and a black mass
of hair sticking out from under part of the sheets, that I saw Van's face,
"Yeah, I'm ok…" I got out of bed and stretched,
"What times our meeting with King Aston?" I asked,
"Right after breakfast, why?" he got up and rubbed his eyes, I looked at my old watch,
"AH! How about…straight after lunch?" I slipped on my black boots, lucky I slept in
my clothes last night, I quickly retied the blonde part of my hair, leaving the black front
part out,
"You're joking!" he gasped,
"Nope, it's 1:40, way after lunch!" I opened the door, and turned to him, "Come on, we're late!!!"
I ran out the room and to the hall, hoping the King would not take offence.
"I am pleased you could join us here in council, Fanelia, Mystic Moon…" he nodded to us both,
and continued, "I wish to welcome you, to the utmost, to Austuria," he spread his arms out wide,
"Any assistance, or things you may need whilst in Austuria, we will try our best to provide the finest."
I smiled,
"Thank you, very much King Aston," I bowed,
"Do not bow, Mystic moon, we may be from different planets, but we are both royal in blood…" my eyes
widened,
"Royal?" I tried to picture my family as royalty, but to no avail, only my…my Grandma, seemed to fit the picture well.
"What is it that you wish to discuss with us, Austuria?" Van asked, saving me from total embarrassment,
King Aston looked to Van,
"Firstly, we extend our greatest sympathy to you, for the great loss of life and of property," his eyes shifted to me,
"I would now, like to speak with you about the Mystic Moon," I blinked,
"Why?" he smiled,
"I am interested in it, and wish to learn more about it…"
Nothing more to say…
