Yeah well still having some problems but at least I wrote another chapter so I guess that's a step… haha well here's chapter 12

Enjoy!

Oliza walked into the main hall only to find that it was full of guards on every corner. Despite their attempt to disperse themselves among the corners of the main hall and chambers near it, it could still be seen that they were focused on only one room.

"Oliza!"

She turned at the sound of her name and looked across the hall as one of her friends and guards called out to her. Namidia had been there for her since childhood and now she belonged to one of the guard. She was an avian but had been born in Wyvern's Court and thus knew no discrimination between avian and serpiente.

"Namidia… is there something the matter. The guards are everywhere when it has been said that there is no threat…" Namidia shook her head and placed her hand on Oliza's arm.

"We have visitors from the outer lands, two wolves that have come here for unknown reasons. Come with me, they're calling for you."

"And Avaram… should he come with me as well?" Oliza looked out to see if she would catch a glimpse of Avaram but he was nowhere to be seen.

Namidia shrugged as they walked hurriedly towards the main hall that led to the guest room. "One of them in particular… he's very strange and from what I heard as I was going out to look for you, he is of wolves' royal blood, the 'Lost Prince' as they have called him. He came with a woman; I suppose she is his mate."

Oliza smiled at Namdia's idle talk and paused at the foot of the door. Soon enough, she would one day be queen but not yet, not until her firstborn came. She looked at Namidia and received a reassuring smile form her. Wolves had never come to visit in Wyvern's Court, not since their king Orion had been overthrown. The serpiente and avians had been afraid that the difficulties in the Lupine lands would spill over and thus cause a civil war. Nothing of the sort happened but ever since those incidents, they had broken away.

Oliza pushed open the door and found the face of her happy mother. After all, Oliza was now fully a realized woman who would soon enough produce the heirs that her mother was denied.

Her father, Zane, walked towards Oliza and placed his arm around her shoulder as he led her to their guests. She smiled but did not relax in the comfort of his slight embrace as she faced the sight before her. "Oliza, we would like to include you in this matter. The wolves would like to reinforce the alliance that had been fading away."

Oliza smiled slightly, greeting the female first who eyed warily and showed no signs of trust. The other, a face so familiar she had no doubt of whom he was, kept his gaze locked on hers as she calmly greeted him in welcome. If there had been something she had learned from her mother and Nacola, it was the ability to hide her emotions well.

Sorry for the "leaving it on a cliffhanger"… this one I'll try to update as soon as I can. Don't forget to review and comment on it.
