WOW I did it...I finished this chapter...sorry it took to long for me to update.
For Pebbles of the Sand: Ok, I remove the italic writing..but I remarked in black I think it's important that you can separate easely the narrator from the speaking people and yes I think Clef is Ok and Ascot too, but somehow I think Clef at the end of the day is to old for her and Ascot to young...at least that's my personal opinion P
For KisaraCrystal: Thank you so much for wait all this long for the chapter I hope you really enjoy it. I'll try to update soon although I can't promise that.
For Playing Scrabble with Orcs: Thanks for sugestions on my grammar, do not worry about your coments k? and I know that you think that you story is long (and it is P ) but also it's a GREAT one.
And las one but not less, Tomoyo Higurashi: Hola ! si estas revisando y leyendo esto...Gracias de nuevo por permitirme traducir tu historia, es genial!!
Umi and Caldina stayed two full weeks at Chizeta, attending the council meetings, visiting the cities that are located on the borders of the planet and observing the living conditions of the refugees. There were busy days for both women. Generally their diplomatic obligations start earlier in the morning and finished just before dinner time. It was frequently seen them very active through all the meetings with good mood, it was something that just shine every time on them. The true tiredness arrived by the end of the schedule day. But it wasn't so much physic it was a tiredness of spirit, and the eyes of Marcus reflected clearly that since a long time.
That night the princesses and their mother got ready for receive The Sultan, The Prince and the Emissaries. To achieve all the information for the critical and actual state of Chizeta, they traveled to the most affected areas of the planet they were out of the capital city three days now. At the beginning The Sultan was reticent to take the women on the trip…besides of being a traumatic experience it could be dangerous too but they insisted so much, particularly Caldina that he accepted.
The Sultan was on the head of the group that took Caldina to the orient regions, the most affected of the planet, mean while Alcar took Umi to the northwest, to a place were apparently as more resistance to the destruction, everything in that region was happening more slowly that the rest of the planet, the knight have the hope to find something that could help the rest of the planet.
It was time now for both groups return from their trip, Rayla had all set, the rooms were more comfortable and a banquet with music and dance was ready on their honor. She knew that they will come tired and emotionally broken for everything that they had seen.
The royal dinning room not only was full of splendor and wealth but also was friendly and cosy, ideal for welcome everyone. Having everything set, the Sultan's wife went to the main hall there she found only her older daughter, and decided to ask for Tata, although she already know the answer.
"You know how she is, mama" – answered cheerfull Tatra – "She miss everyone so much, so she went to the observation tower for see how far they are and whom would arrive first"
"I imagine that" – she only finished that last word when the steps of someone running were able to heard more close to them – "Seems that your sister is very excited for what I can hear"
The youngest princess arrive saying that both groups were very near now to the palace gates, and moments later everyone were now on the main hall, they were greaten bye Rayla, Tata and Tatra, then they move to the dinning room, leading the Sultan and his wife, and followed by their daughters. In there all helped for the tiredness of the trip, and were able to distract their minds from al the issues, it was something that thanked, the next day it's going to be the last day for Umi and Caldina in Chizeta and like the others, this one promise to be full of work, however if they need something in that moment was rest for tomorrow.
Sadly the next morning arrived soon and found Caldina talking with Guru Clef and Umi walking through the large library of the palace, with the help of the Princesses and Alcar looking and searching the major amount of information related with Yasha.
"Well, lets review…" – start the bluehaired – "We have magic books, history, poetry (Tatra insisted on that) biography…" – she feel like crying just with the view of towers of books and scripts that she have to check in search of something useful, but instead of that she sigh – "Something else that can help?"
"Yes" – Alcar voice was heard from behind of one bookseller – "Tata, Tatra please search on the section of politic and military chronicles."
"Right a way cousin" – and Tatra go to were she was requested
"Just a moment "– Tata wasn't very comfortable receiving orders – "Why us and not you?"- demanded to know.
"Lets jus say that I have my hands a little busy" – for some rare reason his voice sound like he was fighting whit something, Tata followed her sister in mad mood – "Umi"
"Yes" – she was already sat near a table reading the information.
"Can you help me with this? Please" – the last word sound rare, like supplicate, she just have to turn around for see how the poor prince was holding a big box full of books and scrolls.
"Ohh man!!" – She rush to him for help him to hold the box, just in time – "What are you thinking, holding that box by your self"
"That was not the original idea" – he defended him self – "I was looking for something that may help us and suddenly the box was falling over me" – there was small blush over the tan skin of the prince and Umi have to hold her laugh, just imagine the poor prince in the stairs carrying that big box and trying to hold some balance for not fall –"Don't laugh"– told him guessing her thoughts.
"I'm not" – just the words sound like laughing, both look each other and decided to leave that subject, besides they still have a big box full of how know what for search something useful.
Inside they found old scrolls made for Yasha, also his diaries and magic books and some predictions, Umi was glad to see all this and after the princesses returned with their books requested for their cousin, the four begin to read everything for reject the stuff that doesn't help them on their task.
Meanwhile Caldina already finished to explain all to the Master Mage, whit all the details, the current situation and the danger that was on the planet. Guru Clef understood the risk, and told Caldina that he will be talking to the Sultan in one hour he himself needed time for contact King Ferio and made the properly arrangements in the palace, she communicated this to Marcus and Rayla whom send for the young ones at the library and for the rest of the council too. Soon everyone was in the Throne room waiting for Cephiro to made contact.
"Umi my child what it's all that stuff that you are carrying?" – Enquiry Caldina seeing the young woman with her arms full of books and scrolls.
"The information that we found at the royal library, by the way your Majesty"- Referring to Marcus- "Is there any possibility that we can take this for Cephiro? I believe that Guru Clef will find this very useful."
"Yasha's documents, his biography, two books of predictions, symbolism books and the chronicles of the battle against him?" – He maid a quickly examination of everything that she was holding.
"Yes, Majesty with your and the members of the council permission".
The Sultan gave a quick look to the members of the council and saw that everyone give their authorization, so he agree with that.
"Hopefully your Master Mage will be able to use this" – said with kind eyes the most older and wise of the members, Varda – "It's a shame that in Chizeta there's nobody with that ability" – said sadly, remembering how the magic was almost death in the planet, only reminds the magic for protection and defense, like the guardian spirits of the princesses.
"Unfortunately the houses of Magic lost their force with the progress of the medicine and other arts" acknowledge a renamed general – "Now although there's people that can read the language and code, the major part of necessary knowledge for understood the secrets of this books is lost."
"That is way we have the hope that Guru Clef can understand them" – said Tatra – "The documents of Yasha and above all Yasha's last diary talk about something call -The Desolation Torrents- the predictions books have entire chapters dedicated only for this subject."
"The problem is that they are in a metaphoric language on in some kind of code" – Tata said.
"For not mention the equations that are in strange writing" – completed Alcar – "The only thing that I was able to understand was the numbers, it most be some king of measures"
The conversation was interrupted bye the contact of Guru Clef
"Your Majesty Marcus, in the name of King Ferio I saluted you and all the presents" – There were bows for everyone – "In the name of our King I can inform you that arranges are been made for welcome in the palace 900 refugees and that we are in the process of search the betters towns for welcome as well more refugees. We sorry that for the moment it's the only thing that we can do"
"On the contrary" – The Sultan spoke more that satisfied with the news, feeling that was share by everyone – "We are very grateful for your cooperation and we send our most sincere respect to your Majesty Ferio."
The rest of the conversation went through all the details of the massive migration and the request of the Mage for a person expert on geology from Chizeta able to go to Cephiro and that send to the major amount of information about Yasha, related with the curse.
"For the last one you don't have to worry the young Umi as taken personally that task and she got already all the information that you are requesting"
The Mage look pleasing all the voluminous books and scrolls that the girl have in her arms and dedicated to her a small smile of satisfaction - "I know that we can trust them" – Seen this Umi got a small blush that only Caldina was able to note.
Finished the contact with Guru Clef beginning on the moment the arrangements for the trip, the fact that the ships were adapted for take on them refugees were useful now because the people was already installed and they have the right amount of supplies, that with out count that the emissaries offer their own ship too.
The final decision was that everyone will depart the next afternoon, escorted by the cephirian ship. As Chizeta emissaries will go the Prince Alcar as the geology expert and Varda, although is magical knowledge were only basics he was and erudite in different kinds of languages and it could be very helpful for Guru Clef.
Only when Marcus was sure that all the ship were on good conditions and that all the citizens involve know the plans, he and the rest went to their respective rooms for rest.
I hope everyone enjoyed this chapter...
