In the last chapter, Queen Beryl and many others in the Negaverse had
begun trying to come up with a plan to try to get a foothold somewhere
in the Universe. And they were trying to do so, in the hopes that if
they got that foothold somewhere in it, they could then use that
foothold as a base to attack the Moon Kingdom from. And to hopefully
either conquer or destroy it, if at all possible. They also began to
prepare for their mission, once they knew enough about the chosen
master plan of action here to do so well enough, in fact.
In the next chapter of this story, Serena's four recent Terran visitors she'd encountered during one of her visions will have a discussion with each other. And they will have it in one of the visitors' Imperial Palace chambers back in Cuzco, Peru, on Earth. Just what will be said by those recent Terran visitors of Serena's will be mentioned here. But I'll still not give away just what they say, entirely, before I begin this chapter-like section here, just the same, if I can possibly avoid it at all. To find out what they say, readers, you will have to read ahead here, of course. For I don't really want to spoil this part of the story here, if I don't really have to, people. Besides, I think that I might have just given you enough information about what is yet to come in this next chapter-like section, anyway, everybody. So to find out more about what happens, you'll just have to read on through, whether you might really want to or not.
Now, without any further ado here, I suppose I should get on with the next part of this fourth story, in rather short order, people. The standard disclaimers will apply for this story, as well, of course. I claim nothing for my own that isn't actually of my own creation here, obviously enough, everyone. If you like what you see well enough here, then I'm sure that you should know what to do by now, as well. I await your reviews and other similar comments about this story and each and every one of its various parts, in fact.
A Rather Hostile Takeover
A The Chrysanthemum Chronicles Series Story
Inside Mara Zimak's Chambers In The Imperial Palace
Cuzco, Peru, Earth
January 29, 987
Meanwhile, as Serena and several other people were meeting in her chambers, and the Negaverse was preparing to try to wreak havoc again anywhere in the Universe, four Terran girls were meeting in the chambers of one of them, when it was currently about 5 am or so in their part of Earth. Those four girls were the Princesses Mara Zimak, Ginkya Rillis, Yazmis Takya, and Zardiz Buzmura. They were the same girls that'd appeared in a vision to Serena while she was in her Imperial Palace chambers on the Moon a little more than a month before, as a matter of fact. They'd not actually met up with Serena in a physical sense, at least. But they'd still visited her in her Imperial Palace chambers on the Moon then. And they'd all communicated with Serena while they'd all visited her in them.
Princess Mara Zimak was the oldest of the girls now in her chambers. And she was about Serena's age in her life. She herself was about three or so months older than Serena. All her current companions in them were also about Serena's age in their lives, as well. But she was still the oldest of all four girls. She was a tall girl with long auburn hair that fell at least to her waist, if not farther, and which she would often put into braids, whenever she possibly could do so in her life. And she was the cousin of all three of her current companions, who were also cousins to each other as well. She was a rather intelligent girl who often loved to read things and write things, whenever she had enough time to do either or both of those things, in her life. Her three most favorite colors were purple, white, and hunter green. And she'd often wear them whenever she could do so in her life.
Princess Ginkya Rillis was the next oldest of the four Terran girls. And she was a girl of average height and weight with mostly chin-length dark brown hair. Her two most favorite colors were navy blue and maroon. And she often could be found gardening in any of the gardens on the grounds of various Peruvian palaces that belonged to her nation's leaders. Or she could often be found hiking in the nearby mountains, whenever she possibly could do so in her life. She was just a few weeks, at most, older than Serena was now in her life.
Princess Yazmis Takya was about three months younger than Serena. And unlike her fellow cousins now present in Mara's Imperial Palace chambers, she was short and stocky. And she had mostly shoulder-length blonde hair. She often spent her free time making rugs or clothes, if not also blankets, whenever she could find the time and the supplies to do any or all of those things in her life well enough. Silver, crimson, and black were her most favorite colors.
As for Princess Zardiz Buzmura, she normally wore her black hair that fell usually to just past her shoulders up in a ponytail, instead of wearing it completely free. She was the best cook of all four of the girls now in her cousin Mara's Imperial Palace chambers. And she'd often gotten many compliments for her cooking in the past, ever since she was a very young girl growing up in the Peruvian Empire. Her most favorite colors were gold and light green. She'd also been known to play tricks on other people in her life, mostly on any number of her many cousins, if not only on them, in it. She was a lot like Serena and Raye in that regard. For they often tried to play tricks on each other or any number of other people in their lives on the Moon. That might eventually become evident to Serena and the rest of her crowd's members if they ever met up with her. But as of the moment, it was only known by those people who actually knew her well enough in their lives on Terra. She was the youngest of all four girls. For she was at least a few weeks, if not at least a month, younger than her cousin Yazmis Takya. Meaning that she was also at least three months younger than Serena, if not younger than that, in her life.
Mara was asking, "Ginkya, when do you think that we'll see Serena and at least a few of the members of her crowd, if we even do so?"
"I suspect in the next day or two, at most. I don't think her father will be among those that we'd meet. But I suspect that Prince Darien might be, if not others as well from our own world or the worlds of the Moon Kingdom, besides Serena, of course."
"Even Princess Sylvia from Israel, Ginkya?"
"I don't know, Mara. She could be among those that we meet up with, of course, or she could not. I expect that Queen Serenity, at least, will be with Serena, though, if and when she ever shows up around us somewhere in God's very own Universe."
The girls had woken up about 4:30 am local time. And they'd soon met up with each other in Mara's chambers, after they'd all gotten themselves rather early breakfasts. They all were hoping to meet up with Serena and others before too much more time passed. And they wanted to do it, if at all possible, whenever other people who might cause trouble if they knew of Serena and her crowd weren't likely to show up around them at all in their lives. People like certain relatives and governmental officials who were usually too numerous to mention at any particular time, mainly, if not others as well. This was mainly for all the obvious reasons, of course.
They'd often have rather early breakfasts together whenever they could. And whenever they did, they'd often spend a considerable amount of time with each other, mainly doing whatever came to their minds whenever they were doing so, if they weren't doing anything else, in their lives. Of course, they all had certain things they'd periodically have to do in them as well, due to their current positions as Princesses in their nation. And like Serena and a number of other Moon Kingdom Princesses, they were often not liking the fact that they often had to do such things in their lives, for many, if not all, of the same reasons as Serena and other Moon Kingdom Princesses might not like doing such things in their own mortal lives, in God's very own Universe.
Ginkya asked, "Mara, what do we have to do today for our people?"
"Nothing, I believe, Ginkya. I think our day is rather free today, if not entirely. I'll have to talk to Dad and Mom today, at least, however, I think, in order to be as sure as I can be that we'll not likely have to do anything we might not really want to do today."
"Then maybe we can go see if the Moon Kingdom royals, at least, will be coming here today to be with us for a time, Mara."
"I think we might be able to do that, Ginkya. But I'm not entirely sure yet if I'll even be able to do that today."
"Where'd you like to meet them, if at all possible?" asked Yazmis.
"I think in the Rainbow Garden near the Hall of Memories. We'll need to put on some face paint, some feathers, and also, on our left arms, some armbands. Some mostly golden snakeskin armbands, as a matter of fact, that have some agates hanging from them. In essence, our Monitor attire, of course, girls."
"I don't like wearing it so often, Mara," said Zardiz.
"I'm sorry, but Serena will most likely be expecting us to be wearing our Monitor attire the next time we meet up with her, at least. She may not know it's our Monitor attire yet, of course. But she'll still most likely be expecting us to be wearing it if and when she, at least, finally meets us in person. Besides, I think that if we're wearing our Monitor attire, we'll be able to avoid running into people like General Tucariono. He is one of the many people who really don't like the fact that we're not always forced to attend certain official functions, among other things that they don't really like about us all that much."
"Especially if we're carrying our Crystals?" asked Zardiz.
"Yes, if we're carrying the Crystals for Lima, Cuzco, Arequipa, and Puno, I think we'll be able to do that, somehow," answered Mara.
The girls talked for at least a while longer with each other. And they did so at least until Mara asked her cousins to stay in her chambers for a few more minutes. She wanted to see if anyone else would likely want or need to see them again later for at least the next few hours, if not longer. So she then asked them to stay in her chambers, while she'd check with her parents and her paternal grandparents about whatever she wanted to check with them about, in her life, at least. She told them that she'd be back to them again as soon as she could return easily enough to it. They all agreed to do exactly what she'd just told them all to do in her absence from them all in her own chambers. After which she then left them alone together in it for a time.
Mara went to the required people to check on all the things that she wanted to check on for a while here. And she was soon rewarded with the answers that she'd hoped that she'd get from those people, before she'd left her own Imperial Palace chambers. She got those answers from the required people. After which she then returned again to her own chambers, to share those answers with her cousins there.
After she returned to them, she then said, "Cousins, we're free for the rest of the day, at least,
if not also the upcoming night as well. So I think that we should each get into our own Monitor uniforms as quickly as we can."
Ginkya asked, "Are you sure, Mara?"
"Of course I am. I don't think that Serena and her crowd will be able to recognize us well enough if we don't, and if they show up here very soon somehow while we're not doing so here, Ginkya."
"Very well. But I hope I don't have to wear my Monitor uniform for more than a day or so,
Mara."
"Understood, Ginkya. But we'll just have to see how things turn out for us all, I think, girls."
"All right, Mara. Now do you want each of us to put them all on here, or should we each put them on in our respective chambers?"
"I think that we should put them on in our respective chambers, Ginkya. Meet me in the Rainbow Garden near the Hall of Memories, by 9:30 am, if at all possible. And please don't forget your Crystals, girls, when you come there to meet up with me as planned."
"What time is it now, Mara?" asked Yazmis.
"About 8:45 am, I think, if I'm not too mistaken about it at all."
"Then we have about forty or so minutes to get ready and to get there. And I think that might be possible for us all to do, even Zardiz," said Yazmis. Yazmis had just said that because Zardiz would sometimes not be ready for certain appointments of hers right on time. And she'd often show up late at such appointments whenever that was currently the case for her in her own life.
"I'm running about as fast as I normally do, in a manner of speaking, with certain things in my life, at least today, Yazmis. So I think that I can be ready to meet up with Mara by 9:30 am, as she's just told us that she'd like us to do, if at all possible, in the Rainbow Garden here in this Imperial Palace of ours."
"That's good, Zardiz," said Yazmis. "Now, judging from the look now on Mara's face, I think we'd best leave her alone again for at least a little while, and get ready ourselves."
Mara had just given them a certain look that'd just made Yazmis think she was now getting bored at least a little bit with being with her cousins right here. So Yazmis eventually suggested that she and the other two girls who were now with Mara in her chambers had better leave it very quickly, if at all possible. Moments later, then, everyone except Mara, of course, left Mara's chambers.
After Mara was left alone again in her chambers, she soon entered her bathroom. And she then prepared for the rest of the day, at least, if not also the upcoming night, as quickly as she possibly could do so. She was actually in and out of her bath within fifteen or so minutes of her beginning her own bath. And she was dressed within another five or so minutes in her very own Monitor uniform. At least in the clothing for it, if nothing else as well. She soon donned her feathers and her armband. And then she painted her face with the necessary face paint, so that she looked exactly like she should look as a Monitor. Which, in fact, was sort of like a Terran Peruvian kind of Sailor Scout at the current time, in the Peruvian Empire of Earth.
After she painted her face in the proper manner with the required face paint, she then checked her appearance in one of her full-length mirrors. That done, she soon picked up a few of her things, left her chambers, shut the door to them behind her, and locked the door to them rather securely, of course. She then went to the Rainbow Garden elsewhere on the Cuzco-area Imperial Palace's grounds. And she was already there by 9:20 am or so. She then waited for her fellow Monitors to show up there, as earlier planned. And she prayed that if Serena ever showed up somehow in their part of Earth, with or without anyone else, she and her cousins would eventually become rather good friends with her, if not any other Moon Kingdom people or any other non-Peruvian Terrans as well. And she did this for most of the time while she was still waiting for her cousins and fellow Monitors to show up in that very garden on the Cuzco-area Imperial Palace's grounds, if not all of it, in fact.
A Rather Hostile Takeover will still take at least some time to put up here, just the same, readers. For I've not yet completed the series, even though I've written at least partly into the seventh volume of this series, if not totally into it. Six volumes are complete. The seventh volume in this series is in progress, as of the current time. And the Moon Kingdom hasn't yet fallen at the point that I am now at in its series. When I finish getting the first six volumes of this story series up, I'll then start to upload the seventh one. And then we can go from there, once you've seen all that I'll have by that time for "The Chrysanthemum Chronicles" story series, readers. I don't expect to be able to start uploading the seventh volume in the series for at least a few weeks or months, though, people. For each volume in this particular story series of mine here is generally of good size, whenever possible, in fact, readers. There are many more things yet to come in this series. But if I say too much more than that right now and right here, you might choose not to continue reading this series, I think. For I might then be spoiling it for you all here, obviously enough, of course. Until later, then, this is "The Universal Storyteller" signing off here. Happy reading, and God bless, and all that, of course, readers! Over and out!
In the next chapter of this story, Serena's four recent Terran visitors she'd encountered during one of her visions will have a discussion with each other. And they will have it in one of the visitors' Imperial Palace chambers back in Cuzco, Peru, on Earth. Just what will be said by those recent Terran visitors of Serena's will be mentioned here.
