Alice: Good morning.

Jaeil: [in a sour tone] Get dressed your presence has been requested.

Alice: May, I ask by whom?

Jaeil: Queen Maia.

Alice: My mothers friend?

Jaeil: [raising her voice] You mean your majesty!?

Alice: [the aggressiveness in her tone caused her body to tremble grabbing the blanket wrapping it around it her, she then bent down to gather her clothes.] Apologies, I meant no disrespect I will bathe then dress immediately.

Jaeil: [ignoring her retreats to her bedroom to do the same]

Throwing a gown over her shoulders she walked the have mile to a nearby lake. Grateful Ate returned home she entered the water, submerging her hips the warmth of the water soothed the swollen nature between her thighs. Physically, she felt satisfied however, emotionally Jaeils sudden shift in mood left her hurt and confused. Just a few hours ago she compassionately took to her thighs twice pleasuring her in ways she never could imagine. Jaeil had been gentle, attentive, and caring now she was curious to know what she had done to anger her. Not, wanting to upset her further she quickly bathed then made the short walk towards Jaeils home. Her breath hitched when she saw Jaeil awaiting on top of her stallion for her return. Not knowing how long she’d been waiting she runs past her, opening the door dropping her belongings on the floor, then runs towards her stopping near the heel of her foot awaiting to be lifted onto her horse. Jaeil, without acknowledging her extends her arm, grabbing a hold of it, she raises her placing her in front of her. Gazing up at her Jaeil continuing to ignore her kicks her into a full gallop embarked on the 2 ½ hour journey towards the sky.

Natticulus…..

As others passed they nodded their head towards her as a sign of respect. Although, she had been missing for a few days it was clear her presence had been missed. Grateful for Gaias assistance she didn’t look her usual self but looked as normal as she possibly could. Sequencing her face her eyes struggled to adjust to the blaring sun. Today, similar to the ones that would follow would be difficult as she had to cast aside personal matters and focus on completing the mission at hand. War. A war was ensuing that would whisper from the tongues from generations to come. Staring ahead they were a few feet from the command tent, looking around in just two days she was amazed at all the work accomplished in her absence. As, Gaia entered first Bette hesitated. Realizing she hadn’t followed her in she returns to find Bette staring into the entrance.
