AN: Ok people we are getting closer. In fact it's just one more chapter and we are there. The next chapter is what you have been waiting for. The show of power from Selari. Of course I think that it's the next chapter. For I planned on the next chapter being the Purge of the realm. Well if it's not the next one it will be the one after that. So it will be within the next two chapters.

Now this chapter I made as a sort of what as happened in the last two years. So yea let's get on with the chapter then.

Italics are the private communications between the Blood

Italics are normally used for the Blood, it will just be the other part of Selari

Bold lettering is when inanimate objects are speaking (Selari's replies will also be in bold)

Chapter 17

Problems

She scowled at him, he was deliberately disobeying her orders. And Selari was positive that he was enjoying every minute of it. He was smiling and waving his arms about and making noises. He was an evil one, sent here to torment her.

Mortin just drooled and waved his chubby little arms in the air, like he was doing nothing wrong. But Selari knew better. She continued to scowl at the little baby.

Mortin happened to be her little nephew. He was a year old and already he was more trouble then he was worth. All he did was cry and poop and demand attention from everything and the worst of all he spits everywhere. The evil little baby had his mother's red hair and innocent face, but he had Jerrid's mischievous eyes.

"I despise you," she told him. Mortin just squealed and reached his little arms out to her. He just didn't understand her. Finally she sighed and picked him up. He was a heavy baby, but Selari didn't mind, she could handle him. He instantly wrapped his arms around her neck and started to kick her in both her stomach and back.

Selari ignored him and walked over to a chair and sat down, rearranging the baby so he was sitting in her lap. The baby reached out and grabbed her hair and yanked on it.

"Mother Night," she screamed as he yanked again. She grabbed his hand and pried it open, releasing her hair from its confinement.

"No, bad baby." Mortin just smiled. As though he wasn't being scolded at all. She didn't want this torture any more. He was just an annoying little pest.

"Mom, Mortin wants you." Selari called to Yeta. Yeta instantly came into the room. She just loved playing with the baby, Selari couldn't figure out why, but she just did. Yeta instantly picked up the baby, causing Selari to sigh in relief.

"I'm just so glad that Elise had decided to let me watch the little angel." Yeta said. More like little heathen, Selari thought in disgust.

Elise had wanted a day to herself and had asked Yeta to watch Mortin. Jerrid was currently in a different court, and would be returning in a week. It seems that their had been a lot of problems with Terreille.

Selari watched as Yeta and Mortin left the room, leaving her alone with her thoughts. Or in her case three different set of thoughts.

"It's too bad that Divear isn't here. He would have been a nice distraction from what is happening." Her other self told her.

You shouldn't want to be distracted from the problems, You should be doing something about it. Terreille is invading Kaeleer.

"I know that, but what can I do? I'm just one person."

It doesn't matter that your one person. Because of what you are, you can do more then a thousand people together could.

Selari knew that he was right, but the idea of having that much power wasn't very comforting. What would happen if people knew about how much power that she had. Would they be afraid of her or would they be in awe of her and stay far away. Either way, it seemed pretty lonely.

But Divear knew. Well he didn't know how much power that she had, but still, Selari knew that he would stick by her no matter how much power that she had.

"I don't see the point in thinking about it. You just don't have to tell anyone that you have this kind of power. We could just go on the way we have been going, then it wouldn't be lonely at all."

She will have to worry about it. For Terreille soldiers could and will most likely come this way. Selari must be able to defend it.

"Why should we have to defend it. Isn't that why we have a Warlord Prince. So that he could defend this town and others. It's not our job to do anything of the sort."

Normally it would be the Warlord Prince's job. But neither the Queen nor the Warlord Prince is here. Plus, their First Circle is not here either. Basically we are intrusting people who know nothing about defending a territory. So Selari must be the one to do it, not them.

"But we also do not know how to defend a territory. What makes us different then them."

You have the strength to do it, they do not. It's simple enough really. Just do as I say.

"I don't have to do anything you tell me to." She told him.

Yes you do.

"Why are you going to make me" she mocked, knowing that he couldn't do anything.

"Don't anger him, we might need his help later." Selari tried to hurriedly explain.

But it was already too late. The Wind had left and he was obviously angry. Now who knew when he would be back? Selari had had questioned for him, and now she wouldn't be able to ask him.

"I hope that made you happy." She said sarcastically.

"Immensely." She said cheerfully.

"I had some questions to ask him you know. And now who knows when he's going to be back. We might be attacked by then, and it will be too late. "

Selari got no reply to that. It was clear that her other self had gone off angry as well. But at this moment Selari didn't really care.

Now what was she going to do. She had no idea how to defend a territory. She knew how to defend herself, but a whole town was another thing. Maybe she could go to the house (AN: Mansion, place where the Queen resides, whatever. I just wasn't sure what to call it.) and see what they had planned to defend the area, and then I could most likely work off of that.

AN: Ok this one is short, but I had nothing really to add to it.So review, review, review…
