Kit: I do not know but plan is to discover the truth.

Tina: [looks at her sympathetically]

Kit: Oh, before mind forgets remind me when I come face to face with my sister to not only place foot to ass, but to back and throat as well.

Tina: [smiling] I will not forget.

Suddenly the sound of ringing bells ricochet through the air causing alarm. Grabbing Tina by her hand Kit frantically leads them both to the entrance grounds. As her hearts beat rapidly inside her chest worry began to set in the only time the bells rung was to alert everyone of an emergency. Considering the circumstances she assumed the worse Nephele was under attack. Finally, entering the main entrance grounds they both were shocked to see it filled with frightened women and children. Standing near the back they anxiously awaited for what was to come next. When it appeared every citizen in Nephele was present Ascara stood on a raised ledge raising her frail arm signaling to all for silence. Everyone curious to know what was going on immediately granted her request.

Ascara: [taking a deep finally speaks] After weeks of imprisonment I finally granted Jennicus sole surviving soldier and right hand audience. During, conversation it was revealed Jennicus intention to invade Natticulus. [frightened grasp could be heard throughout including Kit and Tinas] Although, there has been speculation of Jennicus desire to invade Natticulus although preparations have begun to prepare for war now it has been confirmed. I have sent message to both Natticulus and Destos to see them informed.

Destos? [an unknown woman shouts out in a confused tone]

Ascara: Yes, Destos it is where Queen Avile has traveled and currently resides.

Destos is it not known to involve themselves with outside matters what reason did your majesty have to travel south of the capital? [another woman inquires]

Ascara: All are aware of the travesty that occurred in Cordelia and the vast amount of lives that were lost, however through the storm the Gods stood watch over the city by the sea [she says smiling] not all was lost as suspected there were survivors.

Molly: Survivors!? Are you certain?

Ascara: I am, I received word from Queen Lanuola herself survivors of Cordelia migrated south seeking refuge were they have remained under the watchful care of the queen. Believing their queen succumbed to her injuries the remaining survivors sought protection in hopes of rebuilding. When your majesty saw me informed I passed along word to Queen Avile almost immediately she requested to be united with her people.
