I'm really hoping that more people will review. This is mean of me, or weird, but I seem to be able to update faster when there are tons of reviews urging me to continue...

Chapter 3: Lemuria's Turn

"Princess Sheba?" A young blond boy said gently. Sheba sat beside her bed, crying softly. Breath and Gale eyed her sadly. "Princess, King Kite and Queen Rose are here. They've come to talk about... Kolima and Vale."
Sheba wiped her tears away. Sniffing, she stood up. "Come on, then, Ivan."
They walked through the hallways of Lalivero's Palace and reached the throne room. The king and queen of Contigo were waiting there. Beside them was a lavender-haired woman.
"Greetings, your Majesties." Sheba bowed.
"Sheba. We... We've heard about Kolima's attacks." King Kite said awkwardly. He was a young man with blue hair wearing red. Buckled on his belt was a pair of twin blades. Queen Rose went over to the princess.
"We're really sorry about Faran. He helped us so much against Vale, who allied with Kolima. I never expected Kolima would attack Lalivero," she said sadly. Sheba looked up, a determined look in her face.
"I won't let Kolima get away with it! In fact I think they're working with Vault, who is also on Vale's side. There were Mars Adepts with that Venus one!"
"Listen, Sheba," Kite said, looking slightly happier. "I know you want to take your revenge. But you're still young, and, forgive me, inexperienced. You should concentrate on governing Lalivero."
"Ivan, what do you think?" Sheba asked, turning to her advisor. Ivan was smiling slightly at the third woman.
"I think they're right, Princess. We shouldn't get Lalivero involved in the war." He replied.
"This is Ivan, my advisor," Sheba introduced.
"How do you do! This is ours, Hamma." Rose said, smiling politely.
"It's been a long time. How are you doing, Ivan?" Hamma said.
"I'm fine. Nice to see you, sister," Ivan replied, grinning. The other three gaped. "Well, Princess, I did mention that I come from Contigo, did I not?"
"Must have slipped my mind, what with so much trouble with the harvests, and Father's death, and..." She broke off, looking confused. Rose put an arm around her, talking softly. The heavy blade on her back glistened in the candlelight.
Ivan sighed. He turned to his sister. "What do you think will come of this war?"
Hamma shook her head rather ruefully. There was a mysterious look in her eyes.
"The seven kingdoms should not fight against each other... Nothing good will come out of it."
Ivan gulped, alarmed. Hamma was a Seer, with the ability to peer into the secrets of the future.
"Do you... see something going wrong?"
Hamma's eyes closed.
"If the kingdoms do not cease to fight between themselves, a terrible fate will befall the land of Weyard," she said slowly.
"Have... Have you informed King Kite and Queen Rose then?" Ivan turned slightly to look at them. Rose's pink hair was bent as she talked to Sheba, while Kite watched and listened.
"They refuse to listen to me. When Kite was falsely accused of kidnapping Vale's prince by King Kyle, he got indignant."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So right now, Vale is mad at Contigo for 'stealing Isaac', Kolima helping Vale, and Vault is also on Vale's side. Contigo is mad after being falsely accused, Kolima is angry at Prox for stealing the GunDeSol, and Lalivero is furious at Kolima for 'killing Faran'. That's six. Lemuria is the only one sitting out." Alex said quietly.
"Yes. The reason is because we have never really been able to locate Lemuria. All we know about it is that it's in the Eastern Sea, covered by a thick mist." Menardi said.
"I do have news, however," said Hsu. "While I was in Lalivero, I heard that Sheba's close friends were sending condolences after Faran's death. One of them, Mia, is going to visit her in a few days time. And Mia is the princess of Lemuria."
Alex looked at him. "Why, that is an exellent piece of news, my friend."
"Let me see, we will get the princess and make her take us to Lemuria?" Saturos said, grinning evilly.
"Just one question, who's going?" Karst asked.
Alex smirked. "I know just the person."
