Heritage
Imperial palace, four days ago:
"Hotaru-chan, Hotaru-chan, wake up." Luna pressed her paw against her friend's cheek. "Come on already, I refuse to believe you're as heavy a sleeper as Usagi-chan."
"I'm awake," the pale girl moaned, the bed was much too comfortable to get up willingly. "Matte, I remember now! We were fighting the golems when—Yikes!" She pulled the blankets up when she noticed that she was wearing nothing. "What happened to my fuku?"
"Must've disappeared while you were unconscious," the black cat answered, "But that's the least of our worries, we should be concerned about where we are and who brought us here." They both looked around, they were in the largest and most luxurious room they had ever seen. The paintings, vases and tapestries were each a work of art; the furniture had golden ornaments and were richly upholstered. "Right after Usagi-chan and you were stunned, someone grabbed me by the neck. I can't remember much after that, but by the lump on my head, I guess someone knocked me out." Hotaru wrapped herself with the blankets and went over to look out the huge windows.
"By the silence, it's breathtaking!" The amethyst-eyed girl had the best view of the city. "These people sure know how to treat their captives. Now if only I had something to wear, everything would be just fine."
"Problem solved." Luna sprang from the bed and climbed up a mannequin. "Our hosts thought of everything, and look at what's hanging on the wall." Hotaru did so and saw her Silence glaive, displayed on an exquisitely designed rack like the precious item it was.
"They're placing their trust in me," Hotaru realized, "Very well, I won't betray their hospitality." She let the blanket drop, just as the door slid open and a man walked in! It was one of the other night's trio, dressed in a deep green robe with amber patterns.
"If she hasn't woken up yet then we'll call the medics and—Goodness!"
"What? What is it?" An older man in a blue robe asked as he entered. "My, oh my! Good morning, my name is Tutok, and this is—Ow, ouch!" His companion pulled him out of the room by the ear.
"Move, you idiot!" They rushed outside and shut the door. A moment later it opened again a little. "Ahem, please let us know when you're ready. We'll wait out here." It closed again.
"This was both embarrassing an entertaining," the violet-haired girl finally managed to say, her face burning red.
"If that old fart's wearing that stupid grin when I see him again, I'm slashing his nose off," Luna hissed.
A few minutes later Hotaru was fully dressed, so to speak. The summer dress she was wearing was utterly transparent, as though she had put on a veil of steam. Luckily, the undergarments complementing it were like a two piece swimsuit which covered her body satisfactorily. She took one more moment to prepare herself before calling her 'hosts'.
"You may come in now." Only the younger man came in this time, followed by a maid who was carrying a tray of food. She set it on the table and left, keeping her sight lowered the whole time.
"Please forgive us for intruding. I swear, we had no intention of invading your intimacy."
"It was an accident," the pale girl replied, "Still, you could've prevented it by sending in a woman instead."
"True, however the third minister is away at the time. But I digress, I must explain the reason for your being brought here so abruptly."
"The thought had crossed my mind," Hotaru replied sarcastically as she sat at the table. She noticed that the dark-skinned man remained standing. "Won't you have a seat?"
"Oh no! I couldn't do that." She thought of it as odd, yet decided not to dwell on it. "Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Mekhet, I am one of the three ministers of Kaeruh." He showed her his amulet, bronze, with three jackal heads. "Now, please tell me, do you know of a being who went by the name of Pharaoh 90?" The young girl couldn't hide her surprise, it had been a long time since she'd heard that name.
"To be honest, I know very little about him, only that I was the one to destroy him." She narrowed her eyes. "What relation do the three ministers have with the pharaoh? And how do I fit into the equation?"
"The ministers, the former ones to be precise, represented the pharaoh and held power second only to him. As for your second question, destroying Pharaoh 90 is the main reason you were sought after and brought to Kaeruh."
"I see." Hotaru stood up and held out her hand. The Silence glaive flew to her side and she held her weapon forward. "Go ahead then, see if you can avenge your lord."
"Wait! You've got it all wrong!" Mekhet stumbled as he backed away. He was quite frightened, as though he knew exactly what the weapon could do. "May the demons take Bob, I knew it was a bad idea. We weren't looking for Pharaoh 90's slayer, we were looking for his successor."
Same location, present day:
"Let me get this straight," Haruka began, "We spent the night in some smelly barracks, slept on vermin infested mattresses, crossed the desert on a stinky duck, then again on a gigantic bomb, were arrested, got our butts kicked by a faceless assassin and finally put in jail. All while being worried sick about you." Her grin was quite scary. "And you were living it up as the queen of this place!!"
"Hai," Hotaru answered innocently. Her adoptive parent got closer. "I've got bodyguards at the ready."
"In short," Ami began, "Destroying Pharaoh 90 gave you the obligation to occupy his throne."
"I'm relieved we cleared that out," the odango-headed girl said, "For a moment I thought you'd been repossessed."
"Not a chance, I'm still Tomoe Hotaru and that's how it shall remain."
"What I want to know is, why was Luna-chan taken?" her white-furred mate demanded.
"It was an accident, Artemis-kun," she explained, "Heben was trying to take Bob-chan here, but took me instead."
"Yeah, can you imagine?" the pammul huffed, "Mistaking a cute thing like me with this big-eared hairball."
"Hey!"
"Let's not begin the celebration yet," Mamoru warned, "We've still got the terrorists to worry about. Their failed attempt from the other day won't be the last one."
"Hai, that's the main reason I decided to stay," Hotaru replied. The door opened and a butler came in.
"Your majesty, the bath you requested for yourself and your friends is ready." Everyone turned to look at the petit girl, who grumbled as she slapped her face.
"And that is the main reason I want to get out of here as soon as possible."
"Try not to let your crown go to your head, Hotaru-chan," Minako snickered.
"Excuse me," the butler scolded, "You will address her majesty, Queen Saturn, with the proper respect and by her title."
"Ie, it's all right!" Hotaru hurried to say, "These are my friends, they don't have to treat me with such formality."
"As you wish, your majesty," the elderly man replied with a bow.
"(sigh) Shall we go?" The girls went one way and Mamoru and Artemis the other; the white cat then noticed that Bob was following the former group. He sprinted and cut the scaly critter's path.
"Just where do you think you're going?"
"To join the others in the bath, Luna is."
"Riiiiight. Not on my watch, buddy."
"Umm, Artemis-kun." Luna hurried to her mate's side when she heard their argument. "Dear, Bob-chan's female."
"Nani!?" Artemis looked at the pammul up and down then turned to Luna. "How was I supposed to know?" A blue puff surrounded him and he was encased in ice.
"We have freezing breath, males have a paralyzing gas," Bob answered as she knocked the inattentive cat over with her tail.
"Gomen, Artemis-kun, but you had it coming."
Separatist fort:
Nieduan entered Lieutenant Nimm's office.
"You called for me, Sir."
"Yes, we have received new orders for you." The man in blue pointed to a tablet on his desk, which the masked girl proceeded to pick up. "That is Princess Serenity, also known as Sailor Moon. She has recently arrived in the capital along with her husband and defenders, the sailor senshi. Your mission is to assassinate Serenity; the sailors will try to stop you, you are allowed to dispose of them if need be. If your report is accurate, then you have experience fighting them."
"Affirmative, Sir."
"Very well. There is a vehicle waiting for you, be on your way." The pale girl started to leave. "Wait, there's one more thing. I was informed that you may confront Queen Saturn. It is strictly forbidden to kill her, understood?"
"Yes, Sir." The death-huntress left and Nimm leaned back on his chair. He checked out the report he'd been sent one more time.
"What's so special about this princess, that the queen herself would protect her in combat?" The lieutenant snorted. "Fight? That twig? No way." He switched screens and went on to other business.
"Have you ever seen something this sweet?" Batt asked enthusiastically as she circled the sleek, gray vehicle. "State-of-the-art, stylish, able to reach 200 mph in a matter of seconds; not to mention stealth mode, laser and compacted mines. (Sigh) Too bad there's only room for the pilot, it would be so swell to have a ride with your date on this baby."
"You're kidding, right?" Kemm replied, "There's no back seat on this thing. Besides, don't forget who's getting this bike. Nieduan would never use it for such a thing, even so, the poor bastard would be too scared to enjoy himself."
"Scared stiff, but no stiff," the buzz cut girl quipped. She turned and saw the pigtailed one. Both soldiers quickly took their positions aside the vehicle and Kemm presented a small box.
"The T-54 is fully fueled and ready for use. In addition, you are given six golem capsules to activate as needed." Wordlessly, Nieduan took the box and got on her ride. There was something else in the blue-haired soldier's mind, and he couldn't keep it in any longer. "Are you sure you can do this after what happened yesterday?"
"My wounds are temporary and non-hindering, you needn't worry about the mission." The motor started, the bike rose from the ground and off she was.
"Are you out of your mind?!" Batt burst out as soon as they were alone, "You're not supposed to say anything besides what we've been told!"
"You saw what happened yesterday. Don't you think sending her out on a mission so soon is a tad cruel, in spite of how strong she is?"
"Yes, I do, as a matter of fact. But what about your own welfare?" She asked. "If that question of yours had rubbed her the wrong way, you would be dead by now."
"Nah, as long as I keep away from the face I'll be safe." Kemm got a pat on the back from his friend.
"You're a sweet guy, but take my advice, save it for someone with feelings."
Imperial Palace:
"This is the life," Minako claimed as she floated lazily, "Dibs on the next tyrant we face."
"I must agree," Ami said, "Just look at the size of this place!" The bathroom was enormous, the 'tub' alone was twice the size of an Olympic pool. "Hotaru-chan, I'm starting to feel very jealous."
"There's nothing to envy," the amethyst-eyed girl claimed, "Hai, it was fun at first to have so many people waiting on me, ready to satisfy my every whim."
"I for one, loved it," Luna spoke up, "I realize I'm promoting the feline stereotype, but it felt so good to be pampered."
"Were you know? Is there a handsome masseuse involved, by any chance?" her blue-eyed charge wondered. The black cat looked away and everyone laughed. "But tell me, Hotaru-chan, what makes you so unhappy? I've heard what people say about you during the trip here, you're greatly admired. Considering how you used to be treated, I'd thought you'd be thrilled."
"I was moved to the opposite side of the spectrum, Usagi-san, and that's just as bad," Hotaru explained, "People are still not talking to me, this time because I'm too sacred and precious. No one can look nor speak to me; some are allowed to relay messages, yet they must always keep their eyes away. Only six people can talk to me directly: the three ministers, General Menmaht, Sketh, and Bob-chan here."
"Nani? What makes you so important?" Minako asked.
"I'm chief engineer," the scaly critter announced proudly, "I am also the creator of many incredible devices. One of them is the dimensional door which brought Queen Saturn here. It took over a year to build, and takes a full month to recharge though."
"Why didn't you use the one at the desert base?" Setsuna asked. "It is in perfect working order, and has no limits for its use."
"Wait a minute!" Bob blanched, "Are you telling me that there already was a door? Fully functional?" She got a nod for a response and dropped on the floor.
"Aww, and you were so proud too," Luna teased.
"Please, Luna, have mercy on the fallen."
"Okay, okay, enough gossip," the shorthaired racer declared, "Setsuna-san, Usagi-chan and Mamoru-kun have an interview with the ministers; and we should find a way to make ourselves useful."
Mamoru and Artemis were walking down a corridor. The dark-haired man was dressed in white: a vest, gold armbands, loose pants and moccasins The cat from Mau was on a ledge built for pammul, which facilitated conversation with the much taller humans.
"Che, after all I've been through, Luna-chan could've at least waited for me to thaw out."
"I'd suggest you drop the subject, Artemis-kun. If there's one thing I've learnt from marriage, you can never win an argument against your spouse."
"Hey, I've been mated for almost as long as you've been married." The blue-eyed cat grumbled. "That weasel's the one to blame for all this. What kind of a name for a girl is Bob?"
"It is the first syllable of the chief engineer's full name," a voice answered. They both looked to their left and saw a teenager. He had delicate features and a tattoo on his forehead. "Is this the information you requested?"
"Umm, hai," Artemis responded, "But who are you?"
"I respond to the name Anukh. And I have already been given information concerning your identities, Prince Endymion, Mister Artemis, and have been ordered to escort you to the meeting room."
"Arigato, and pleased to meet you, Anukh-kun," the black haired man replied as they resumed walking. "Just out of curiosity, what is Bob-chan's full name?"
"I am afraid the point would be rather moot. The pammul language is spoken at a very fast pace, 234 syllables per minute, unpronounceable for humans."
"Minako-chan might," the blue-eyed cat quipped, thinking of all those phone conversations. The three of them walked a bit further when they met someone yet again. This time it was someone they all recognized.
"General Menmaht, it is an honor to meet you again," Mamoru greeted with a bow.
"The honor is mine, your highness," the scarred man replied with a bow of his own, "And I must apologize for the treatment you and your companions received."
"Ie, not at all, it is our fault for keeping our identity hidden. You are a man who treats his enemies fairly, a rare quality." The four resumed walking. "And the situation your country is in calls for wariness."
"Very true, that last attempt was quite daring, and would've been a devastating blow had they succeeded." The general shook his head. "Our enemy is growing bolder, while our people have been gradually loosing their moral. Finding our ruler has always been a priority, and during these last few months it had become a dire necessity."
"What makes Hotaru-chan so important?" Artemis inquired.
"She symbolizes our liberation. Queen Saturn destroyed Pharaoh 90, putting an end to an oppression that lasted throughout generations." They kept talking until they met four more people who were heading towards the meeting: Hotaru, Usagi, Setsuna and Samenat; Bob accompanied them. The blonde girl immediately went ahead.
"Mamo-chan! You look like the hero in that Arabian computer game."
"As I recall, there is also a heroine, and you're her spitting image, Usako." Her outfit was pink, consisting in a vest, cut shorter than her husband's, a top, a circlet with a white tear-shaped jewel, and sheer silk ribbons hanging from her arms, held by golden bracelets on her shoulders, elbows and wrists. Hotaru's and Setsuna's were identical except for the color, deep blue and a violet jewel, burgundy and a black jewel respectively. "I'm still not sure about the bell-bottoms though."
"Now, why don't I ever see you in such flattering clothing?" Menmaht asked his wife.
"Well, these robes are traditional, so I can't change them just because," Samenat answered, "However, if her majesty were so kind as to decree…Queen Saturn?" The pale girl was keeping her distance. The gold minister then noticed that she was glaring at Anukh. "Oh, right."
"By your leave, your majesty," the pammul engineer said as she climbed up to the tattooed boy's shoulder, "I'd like to show Artemis my workshop. Anukh, pick him up and let's go."
"Yes, ma'am." The three left in a bit of a hurry. The ruby-eyed woman couldn't help noticing that her adoptive daughter took a breath of relief once Anukh was gone.
"General Menmaht," the Moon princess said, "I must thank you for bringing my husband and friends safely through the desert."
"In truth, your highness, it is I who owe Prince Endymion my life," the bald man replied. "And I owe you as well, for protecting my dear wife," he added as he put his arm around her.
"We're among friends," Hotaru reminded, "we don't owe each other anything. Now, let's hurry, Mekhet-san and Tutok-san are waiting for us."
The Courtyard:
"Haruka-kun, you egotistical baka, get a move on!" Rei ordered, "It's not like everyone's got their eyes set on you!"
"Well pardon me if I'm a little self-conscious," the racer retorted angrily as she caught up. The girls were all wearing the same outfit as their friends, in different colors: Rei, orange with a red jewel on her circlet; Ami, red and blue; Minako, pastel green and orange; Haruka, sky blue and amber. Obviously, she was upset because her figure was being fully shown. "I can't believe you guys forced me to wear this thing."
"Haruka-kun, you look lovely," the azure-haired girl praised, "Besides, we all know you dress femininely every once in a while."
"Hai, once in a while, not full time."
"Well we could order something more fitting to your personality," Minako said, "but considering the fashion sense in this castle, you're better off looking girly." She pointed towards two servants walking by, their torsos were utterly bare. "Unless you really want to draw attention."
"Actually, there are regions where women dressing in such manner is quite common." The Japanese girls looked up and saw Sketh approaching. "Tutok's dream is to live in such a place when he retires. Good morning, Miss Ami, I trust you are feeling better today." He was the one who had treated the shorthaired girl for the pammul's paralyzing breath.
"Hai, Sketh-san, arigato. Tutok, he is one of the three ministers, ne?"
"Indeed, along with Mekhet, who went with me to Earth, and Samenat, whom you met during the cruise. As for me, I am the head medic, represented by my red robe."
"Then red is the color of your profession in Kaeruh," Ami deduced, "No wonder Hotaru-chan chose this color for me."
"So, Sketh-kun, what brings you to this side of the jungle?" the loose-haired blonde asked, the misquote muddled Sketh a bit, it was bad enough that he'd never heard it at all.
"Err…I was on my way to my office to complete some belated paperwork. My apologies, but I can't stay." He bowed and left.
"Well he was in a hurry," Rei noted, "Can't blame him though. If the attack we stopped the other day is just one of many, he must be a very busy man."
"Hai," the sand-blonde agreed, "Still, he could've taken a little time to apologize for that spank he gave me." She sat down at a fountain. "Check it out, yet another statue of this girl." The one with the lance. "I wonder who it is."
"Duh, that's the queen, you silly," a small voice answered. Startled, Haruka looked down and saw a little five-year-old girl. She had shoulder-length brown hair and bright tan eyes. "Yeah. That lance she has, she can beat all the bad guys with it. And once she fought a sphinx, as big as the castle. Like this!" She stood on her toes, stretched out her arms and puffed up her cheeks, making everyone present laugh.
"Sounds like they've been spreading rumors about Hotaru-chan," the raven-haired girl whispered to Ami as the child continued with her tall-tales, "Good ones for a change."
"Miyu!" A twelve-year-old boy with dark gray hair came running towards the group. "Miyu, your nanny's been looking for you like crazy, and you know that you mustn't talk to strangers."
"But these people are friends of the queen. See? Mommy said they would be wearing those crowns so we know who they are."
"You're very observant," Haruka congratulated. She leaned towards the boy. "And you must be her big brother. What's your name?"
"Umm…Kazos, my sister and I are the children of General Menmaht and the gold minister." There was quite an ammount of pride in his voice, understandable considering his age and who his parents were.
"Yeah, mom and dad are very important people, and we get to live at the palace, and do lots of stuff, and we—"
"Miyu-chan, slow down!" the shrine maiden pleaded with a laugh, "Listen, we just got here and don't know the palace much. Do you think you and your brother could show us around?"
"Sure!" The little girl grabbed Rei and Ami by the hand and started dragging them away. "I know of an even bigger garden. Come on!"
"Guess I'll have to go with you," Kazos grumbled as he followed the three, Minako and Haruka were right behind him.
"Ah, to be young again," the latter sighed theatrically, "Did I ever tell you I was a hyperactive child?"
"I'm reminded of Chibi-chibi," the one with the ribbon replied, "And Haruka-kun, a word of advice, don't lean forward when you're talking to people."
"Why not—Chikuso!!"
Bob's workshop:
Luna circled the large and odd machine as she tried to figure out what it was.
"I'm guessing it's a tank engine, but knowing Bob-chan it could just as well be a coffee machine." She heard the door slide open and turned to see Anukh, her mate and her new friend entering.
"Thank you, Anukh, now please go check the inventory."
"Yes ma'am." He went over to a corner and started counting.
"He's very obedient when it comes to following your orders," the white cat noted.
"It's only logical," the engineer replied, "children always are towards their parents."
"Nani?! Is there something I should know, or are you waiting for me to humiliate myself again?"
"What Bob-chan means to say is," Luna began explaining, "is that she built Anukh-kun, he's an android."
"A robot!?" Artemis nearly fell off the table.
"The word we use is golem, but I guess they all mean the same," the pammul replied. "Yup, he's the most advanced one you'll ever see, the only one of it's kind and my masterpiece." She was justly proud.
"Well this explains Hotaru-chan's behavior," the white cat realized, "her phobia was acting up."
"Indeed, her majesty has a rather adverse reaction towards my presence," the tattooed android commented from were he was, "My sensors show deterioration in her physical constitution each time."
"I didn't know it was that bad!" the black cat gasped.
"Neither did I," Bob added, "Anukh, why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
"You didn't ask," he simply answered.
"Well you shouldn't keep such information a secret! (sigh) I better start working on a new program for you." The pammul got to work while the feline couple talked amongst themselves.
"Poor Hotaru-chan," Luna sighed, "her experience must've been an awful one if robots can actually make her ill."
"Hai. We've been lucky so far, but we better find a way to treat her before it causes a disaster."
Meeting room:
"Congratulations people, we nearly caused a diplomatic incident," Mekhet said sarcastically. "We kidnapped a member of a royal court, causing the rulers of another kingdom to come look for her. Her majesty told us how powerful Princess Serenity and her senshi are. Can you imagine if they had come with hostile intentions?"
"Will you calm down? Her majesty told us that would never happen," Tutok replied. "The fact is, we now have powerful allies to aid us in the war against Sarkoz. Gorgeous ones I might add."
"Is that all which occupies your mind?" his companion huffed.
"28/5." The door opened, the pair stood up and saluted as Hotaru and company entered. "Good morning, you majesty. Ah, such blessing it is to see you and your guests."
"And good morning to you, Tutok-san," the petit teen replied with a bow. "Minna-san, I would like to introduce the bronze and silver ministers, Mekhet and Tutok. Mekhet-kun, Tutok-san, these are the rulers of the future Crystal kingdom, Princess Serenity and Prince Endymion, and my guardian, Meioh Setsuna."
"It is an honor," the younger minister said with a salute.
"It's plain to see who raised the queen into a fine young woman," Tutok said as he stepped over to take Setsuna's hand. "I must congratulate you, my lady."
"Umm, arigato. But would you mind looking up?" The old man was a bit short, so his line of vision wasn't exactly aligned with the mocha-skinned woman's face.
"It's too early in the day," Menmaht grumbled as he sat down. "Let's get the meeting started, all right? The first issue is a history lesson for our friends, what happened prior to Pharaoh 90's defeat and afterwards."
"Hai, it should be useful information," Usagi agreed, "We never knew much about your world, the Death Busters weren't precisely the best ambassadors."
"The quintet, eh?" Samenat remembered, "Personally, I think my father was just trying to get rid of those clowns."
"Your father?" Mamoru asked.
"Yes, my father was the golden minister before me, which means that my family was part of Pharaoh 90's court." The longhaired woman took a deep breath and leaned back on her seat. "A past which still haunts me."
"Don't forget your merits, child," the old man in blue spoke up, "You risked your life giving the rebels vital information. I too served that cursed tyrant, yet was too much of a coward to act against my superiors."
"You must have merits, Tutok-san," the blonde girl assured, "The others wouldn't have accepted you otherwise. What about you two, Menmaht-san, Mekhet-kun?"
"Menmaht and I were part of the rebellion against Pharaoh 90. I was a lieutenant and he my captain." The young-man chuckled. "Now I'm the one who's above him."
"Careful, former soldiers can always be recalled. And you still owe me quite a few push ups."
"I'm glad to see we weren't alone in our fight against Pharaoh 90," the dark-haired prince said gratefully, "I doubt we would've been able to defeat him without you help."
"Oh, but you helped a lot, your highness," Samenat assured, "There was something in your world which the pharaoh coveted, an item of great power. It constantly evaded his grasp, which drove him desperate and careless. Finally, in a display of poetic justice, he opened a portal to your world only to find his destroyer."
"Which, as you know, was me," Hotaru continued. "The ministers told me how they've been guiding the people ever since, rebuilding and making the kingdom progress. But with the throne vacant, the people are not together, that's how Sarkoz formed the separatist army."
"Now that Queen Saturn is here, we have a chance for victory," Mekhet said, taking his turn to speak, "Now, we realize that she can't stay, her majesty has already explained the reasons, not to mention it is ridiculous to ask someone who knows nothing about the land to be its ruler."
"Which brings us to the next subject," Setsuna deduced, "Who will Hime-chan leave as a successor?"
"There are three options," the bronze minister began, "First, to be defeated in a battle to the death, automatic cross-off; second, the throne may be inherited by her future children, whom I doubt she'll have here; and third, to abdicate and leave whoever she sees fit as ruler."
"Choosing a minister would be most logical," Tutok pointed out, "So, Queen Saturn has to decide which of these two is most worthy to fill her shoes."
"These two?" The amethyst-eyed girl raised an eyebrow. "Tutok-san, are you saying that you have no interest in becoming king?"
"Not at all," the old man answered, waving his hand. "Besides, we'd still have the same problem. I have no family, and I am too old to get started."
"Not to mention protocol would demand you behave yourself, "the golden minister chided, "Okay, unless anyone has any questions, I'd like for us to check which strategies we've devised against the separatists."
"They are our main concern," Usagi reasoned, "Carry on, Samenat-san." Projectors came out of the corners of the table and a holographic map appeared, Menmaht then proceeded to explain the present situation and how they were planning to face it. This is pretty dull, the blonde thought, but I better pay attention if I ever want to learn how to rule a kingdom.
The day passed without any outstanding events, with the arrival of dusk, however, a very large one was about to unfold. Nieduan leapt over the gates and made her way into the garden undetected, she opened the box containing the golem capsules and tossed them into the dirt, a fountain and some trees.
"Earth, water, wood," she stated as two of each kind were formed. "Golems, scatter and destroy."
