AND: Hi. I'm sorry I haven't updated. I kinda dislocated my finger….I recommend never doing that. It hurts like a bitch. Anyway, Parakeet just did more fanart. Thank you Parakeet. See my last chapters to find the address for the fanart. Thank you and have a nice day.
Disclaimer: See last.
Port to Capitol
They rode on, the little princess-seer being held gently by her guardian. Eva focused on getting the three of them to the port alive. Over open desert and shifting sands they traveled on the back of a giant cheetah, which moved like the wind itself. Eva kept guide by the spirits and the way the wind blew. Nature wanted the little princess healed, and was going to make sure her warrior got her to help safely.
"We're there," Eva called as the sun hung overhead. Nearly three hours of constant running, and the trio had arrived at the port city of Elnishiuk'arum. Showing her face to the guards and ordering a healer brought to them fast, the Elysian Queen and the Crog Colonel were glaring at each other.
"Why were those Elon nothus homo1 after you?" Eva growled.
Toros merely looked at her in surprise for her language. "They wanted Princess Cylan."
Eva bowed her head. She understood why those vacca foeda2 wanted a seer. Seers were rare, and if their ability could be tapped, then the one who controlled the seer would know his or her destiny and could stop it from happening. She guessed that she was not supposed to have heard the prophecy Princess Cylan had spoken.
"Are you just going to stand their all day and do nothing?" Toros said with a sneer.
"That is none of your concern, now is it, Crog?" Eva said and growled once more. The air swirled around the room and the Colonel finally got the idea to shut up.
"We need to get out of here," Eva whispered softly. Toros looked over at her in confusion. "They know you two are on Yiansu, they know I'm with you after that stunt out in the desert, so they will assume we're heading for the Capitol and won't attack us there. It's too heavily fortified. Their only chance at getting Princess Cylan is when we're traveling by way of boat. They'll attack then, but it'll take them a while to get around the defense grid that General Spring would have put up after detecting your ship. We need to head out now."
Toros reluctantly agreed. He didn't want to, but he could not se any fault in her explanation. The Elon were not going to give up on getting his charge and would attack as soon as they were able. An hour later the two Crogs, Eva, and a healer were on the first boat to Eln, where a contigant of soldier would be waiting to escort them back to the Capitol. Man was Eva ever loving the vidcoms that Elysian had. Now all they could do was wait and pray the Elon were having a hard time with the grid.

"So, she's getting smarter not to mention stronger. I must move soon," the Dark one thought as he watched events from the shadows. Fortunately, or unfortunately if you're him, he couldn't hear Cylan's prophecy. He had cursed at the Crog's lack of a visible mouth for an hour before he had calmed down.
"Soon, very soon, the universe will be all mine," he said and laughed maniacally.

Prince Aikka stood before the gates of the Capitol. Spring had contacted him and sent a messenger to retrieve him, Ahn, and Canaan for help. Eva had been attacked by the Elon. His temper had flared at the thought of her being attacked, let alone possibly hurt. He would be there when she arrived with the Crogs the next day.

The die has been cast. Fate's chosen daughter has spoken. Nature's warrior is primed to strike, much like a snake coiled in wait for the unsuspecting mouse to get too close. The other part of her soul waits for her return, and the dark grows more powerful with each passing moment. Soon a collision would happen to which only Fate and Destiny would know the outcome.
1-Latin for Bastard (of a known father)
2-Latin for Dirty Cow
AND: On those notes, the ancient language of Elysian is Latin. When Eva is swearing in Latin, she's actually showing her Elysian heritage. She will be swearing in other languages (mostly Chinese and Japanese. I mean Wei is either a Chinese or Japanese last name, right?) later on. I will have translations posted.
