Draconian Powers
1. The Plot
A girl ran through the streets of Fanelia toward the palace. She had important information for the King and Queen. As the girl ran through the streets she was glad that she wasn't wearing a dress. She was in fact wearing a shirt, shorts, and sneakers. Were anyone to see her they would think that she was dressed strangely. The girl also had lower back length dark brown hair, and was about 5' 5''. The girl finally reached the palace gates.
"I have important information for the King and Queen," she panted to the guards.
"What does the information contain," one guard asked.
"The safety of our Queen," she said desperately.
She was beginning to think that they weren't going to let her in when they opened the gate and one guard motioned for her to follow him. He led her down a walkway, through big double doors, down a hallway and stopped. He knocked on the door and opened it when he heard someone say, "Enter."
"Your Majesties," he said as he bowed.
Van and Hitomi were sitting in their thrones surrounded by advisors, servants, and a few guards. Van was dressed in his usual red shirt and beige pants. Hitomi was dressed in a gorgeous blue dress that showed off her hair and eyes beautifully. They had been talking to their advisors when there was a knock on the door. They stopped talking and looked to the door as Van said "Enter." The guard stepped in, bowed, and said, "Your Majesties."
"There is a young lady requesting an audience with you," he informed them. "She says she has important information for you."
Van and Hitomi exchanged a glance then Hitomi said, "Show her in." The guard left the room and came back with the girl in tow. She stepped forward, looked up and curtsied.
"What information do you bring us," Hitomi inquired.
"Can we go someplace where we can talk privately, please," she asked still curtsied.
Van cocked an eyebrow but nodded. Then he and Hitomi led the girl to Van's study. Van motioned the girl to sit and she did. She was nervous. They could see this and decided to go easy on her.
"So what is this information that you came to tell us," asked Van.
"The information concerns you," she said to Hitomi. "There is a plot to kidnap you!"
A shocked silence met this statement.
"Where did you hear this," Van demanded.
"At a bar on the east side of Fanelia, but don't jump to conclusions, they weren't Fanelian," she replied.
"How do you know," he asked upset. Hitomi put a hand on his shoulder to try and calm him down, naturally it worked.
"Tell us what happened," Hitomi spoke softly and calmly.
"I had gone into the bar to get a drink," she began. "I hadn't even reached the counter when I heard your name. So I hid behind a pillar to listen. They were talking in whispers but I have excellent hearing so I heard every word."
Flashback
The first man, "why does the boss want us to kidnap the Queen, Justin," he asked.
"Haven't you heard? The Queen is actually the Mystic Moon seer. The boss is afraid that she will get in the way of our plans. That's why we have to get her out of the picture long enough for us to complete the plan. We don't have to kill her unless the boss wants us to," Justin answered.
Man 3, "What about the King? He's a Dracoian. He could be a problem too."
"No," Justin said. "The boss just wants the seer, she's the major threat. Come on the boss doesn't want us to be late."
End Flashback
"That's everything I heard," The girl said. "I also saw a symbol for Zaibach on one of their swords."
"Thank you for this information," Van finally replied. "We'll check it out."
Meanwhile Hitomi had been looking carefully at the girl. Hitomi had never seen anyone like her around here and certainly not in Fanelia. So she asked a question.
"What is your name?"
The girl looked over at Hitomi surprised that she had asked, but finally after a moment of hesitation she answered. After all the Queen would understand. Why hide it?
"My name is Kyria Lea Janson," she answered. "Kyria is Greek for 'Lady' and Lea means 'Green Meadow'."
"That's not a Gaean name," Van said thoughtfully.
"No, it's an Earth name. Isn't it," Hitomi asked.
"Yes," Kyria admitted. "I'm from Earth."
