DG knocked on the door to her mother's chambers. "Come in" answered the queen's elegant voice. DG opened the door to see her mother sitting on her window seat with a book in hand. Her mother smiled "Hello my angle".
DG took in the site of her mother. She was so regal, so elegant. Her graying hair was fashioned in a beautiful up-do. Her dark purple dress complemented her wonderful lavender eyes.
"You look beautiful mother" the queen's smile grew wider.
"Now, DG my dear I know you didn't come here to simply compliment me." DG walked closer to the window seat "You look troubled" the queen patted the cream colored cushion next to her "Come, sit and tell me what is on your mind".
An hour later DG sat hand in hand with her mother talking softly, trying not to cry.
"I'm scared I'll never see Cain again Mother" DG sighed. "I don't know what to do"
The queen moved a few stray hairs out of her daughter's face "First of all my love you have got to be strong. Have faith, Wyatt Cain will come back. He loves you"
DG stopped crying and looked at her mother "You think so mother?"
"I know so" answered the queen as she stroked DG's cheek "It seems everyone knows but the two of you. It's quite obvious the feelings you have for each other"
DG blushed "Well, he did kiss me"
The queen simply smiled "I want you to be happy DG. I want you to know you have mine as well as your father's blessing to 'go for it' as the say on the other side"
DG laughed "You are the last person I thought I would ever hear say those words here"
The queen hugged and kissed her daughter on the cheek "I'm full of surprises"
"Thank you for listening to me mother, I guess I'll go try to find something Princess-ish to do"
The queen nodded to her youngest daughter as DG stood up and began to walk towards the door
"Oh, Mother! Before I forget, When will Glitch… Ambrose get his brain back?"
"Thank you for reminding me DG! I must find an Alchemist. Your father is due home from his business in The Realm Of The Unwanted tonight I will talk to him and we will begin to make preparations. By the end of the week Ambrose should be as good as new"
"Hello little sister"
DG turned around to see Azkadelia her dark hair was in a long braid which was draped over her left shoulder. She sported a simple yellow day dress. It was quite a nice change from the too tight, too low dressed the witch preferred.
"Hey there Az. What are you up to?" Questioned DG
"Nothing much at all Deege. I just got back from lunch in the gardens with Glitch" Az said smiling and blushing a little.
"Oh… I was just about to go out to the gardens and I was… wait… whoa! You… and Glitch… lunch?" sputtered DG
Az laughed "Come on Deege; let's go for a walk in the gardens before the Autumn frost gets the better of the flowers and trees" the older Princess offered her arm to the younger Princess who gratefully took it. "We've got a lot to talk about"
Az and DG walked through the gardens around the castle. The suns were setting and it was a beautiful site. Finally, Az and DG came to a bench that was situated under a huge weeping willow tree that was just beginning to lose its leaves. The two sisters sat down and continued their conversation.
"Wow, so if you can date Mother's advisor then I can defiantly date and possibly marry an ex Tin Man"
"Date yes, Marry? DG there are plenty of men out there. Why settle for an ex Tin Man?" questioned Az
The younger Princess thought carefully "Because I love him" she said simply "He helped me find out who I really was. He watches over me like a hawk Az. I feel so comfortable and protected. I mean really… What woman doesn't want to feel safe?"
Az nodded to DG "I understand little sister. But he's so much older then you"
"Age is just a number Az" DG replied. Her older sister laughed. "Okay, enough about me and Cain. Spill the beans about you and Glitch"
The older princess played with her long braid "Well, ever since the eclipse we've been spending time together and Ambrose is such amazing person. He's sweet, funny, and sensitive. Az sighed "He's wonderful DG!"
"As are you Beautiful"
Az and DG looked up to see Glitch standing before them. Az blushed a wonderful shade of red and DG laughed at her sister's embarrassment.
"Your mother sent me to come fetch you two. It's time for dinner" Glitch offered his arm to Az as she stood up, happily Az took it
"Please tell Mother I'll be there in a few. I want to sit for a little while longer" said DG
"Of course" answered Az over her shoulder "Don't sit out here for too long Deeg"
"I won't" DG waved to her sister and Glitch as they walked back towards the palace.
DG sighed to herself. She was happy her sister had found someone to love but, it also made her sad. She missed Cain so much…
"Please come home soon" DG whispered
Zero watched the camp of resistance fighters from the safety of a tree covered hill top. Behind Zero stood 12 ex Long Coats complete with guns. One of the men spoke up.
"When do we attack?" he asked playing with his gun
"Night Fall" Whispered Zero
