Chapter 10: The Royal Explanation ~ Flashback Story
Part 4: The Unexpected Claim ~ Twilight's Idea
While the Council Hall shook, everyone has nearly lost their balance. All at once, the lion disappeared along with the light. Without a trace. Within the moment, the room has now remained still. Everyone has begun to stand again, "Is everyone alright?" Dr. Albert asked.
"I'm fine," Twilight spoke as her eyes are white but felt her head begin to spin.
"Within the name of Sacred Father," Aurora spoke. "I should never doubt the Guardian Spirits again, including to what we just witnessed."
"You said it," Twilight nodded. "Including that it growled at our uncle," she chuckled as her eyes turned yellow, light red, and pale lavender. "Guess that you deserve that Uncle Duncan."
"Alright, I get it." King Duncan spoke, "Never anger the Guardian Spirits, to either a legend or not. Sheesh, was that difficult to believe that the scene we have seen is the full proof of the truth?"
The council nodded as they wrote down what has just been witnessed. In the corner of Twilight's eye, she sees Violet. Leaning against the wall with both of her hands over her mouth with her face is fully flushed.
"Violet," Twilight spoke as her eyes showed both hazel and blue. She walks toward her sister, "What's wrong?" she can see that her sister is shaking and couldn't find the words to speak through her mouth. "Violet...did...?"
"Umm," Dr. Albert spoke. "Where did this come from?" showing an ordinary pendant that looks like a locket but in a color of harvest bronze in his hand with a mixture of brown bronze chain, hanging and looped around the galra's neck. With the Galra's state now, the glara is finally breathing calmly as it sleeps.
"Sister," Twilight slowly turned her head, showing red, indigo, black, and hazel in her eyes. "That pendant...is that your...?"
"It...it happened so fast..." Violet stuttered, "...it was an accident...when..."
Twilight growled as her eyes turned fully red, "No fair," Twilight barked. "I was about to do it. But thanks to that lion, it chose you to do it instead."
Violet jumped as she continued to tremble. Covering her ears from startle and embarrassment. Slowly, Twilight's eyes showed the colors blue and red.
Twilight sighed, "But since you are trying to do the right thing, let me help out. Just a bit."
"How?" Violet asked.
"Just watch and see," Twilight stepped forward. "Uh, excuse me."
Council spoke over her.
"Umm hello," Twilight watched every council member talking over her while her uncle is grumbling under his breath. Twilight's eyes turned fully red, took a deep breath. "Yo!" Twilight yelled.
Violet jumped in shock as everyone went silent.
"That's better," Twilight calms down as her eyes turned white against the red. "Since we all have witnessed what we have just seen, I suggested that we shall wait till this galra wakes up from his coma."
"What would you say that your highness?" one of the council members asked her.
"One," Twilight spoke. "The galra is still out cold with a broken leg, so we are supposed to help and take care of him. Two: he is living proof that he is Champion of Spiritual Guardian Leo and he wants us to allow him to live."
"And?" King Duncan asked.
"Finally," Twilight crossed her arms. "We should wait till he wakes from full recovery and allow him to explain himself about what he is doing here. And we'll ask him questions and get details later. Would that satisfy you?"
The council member muttered to one another, then made a full decision.
"Very well," said one of the council members. "We'll let the galra live, so he would recover, but once he wakes up. He'll tell us his side of the story, then we will make our final decision for what to do with him."
"Thank you," Twilight bowed as her eyes turned white.
"If he stays," King Duncan spoke. "I prefer the Healers using proper medicine to heal the galra, not using their powers."
"What?" both Dr. Albert and Violet asked.
"That is my decision," King Duncan spoke. "Plus, I do not trust this creature to be healed by one of our own. So he will be given Tau'ri Medicine to do the process of healing him, that is all I could say."
"Very well, your majesty." Dr. Albert scooped the galra into his arms, "My team and I would get started to help him right away."
King Duncan nodded.
"Thank you, Dr. Albert." Violet nervously smiled.
Dr. Albert bowed his head as he carries the unconscious galra out of the Council Room. Returning both him and the galra to the Medical Wing.
As he left, Twilight went to her sisters' side. "Twilight," King Duncan spoke as he turned to his nieces. "Violet."
Both princesses jumped while Twilight's eyes showed a lighter color of black and Violet's face nearly turned pale as they turned to their uncle.
"You're excused," he spoke to them in concern. "We'll discuss this matter at dinner."
"Yes sir," both Violet and Twilight; eyes turned back to the white have bowed. As they have been escorted out of the Council Chamber and entered the hall with Violet's Guardian following right behind them. Leaving their uncle with the council for more details of the discussion to go on.
Within the hallway, Violet and Twilight are walking quietly with no one in the halls. Violet slowly eyed her elder sister, "Uh, Twilight…" Violet spoke.
"Yeah?" Twilight replied as her eyes turned hazel.
"Umm, thanks for…" Violet nearly stuttered.
"Anytime," Twilight shrugged as her eyes showed light orange and white. "Need to do it, just this once."
"But why didn't you…?"
"We'll talk about that with uncle during dinner," Twilight spoke. "So he will understand why I did that, okay?"
Violet nodded, and Twilight's eyes return to white. As they both continue to walk within the hall, finding something else to do while there is commotion fluttering around the palace.
To Violet's Guardian, she was following her princess. Curiously, wondering why the lion looked at her. Something about it seemed familiar to her and she doesn't know why. Suddenly, she stopped in the middle of the hallway as she felt and heard something very familiar. Something small and she fully understood it. But not one, but five voices speak a familiar language that she has not been introduced to before. Violet's Guardian begins to follow the voices, and investigate what it is.
