“Princess Dana your immediate presence is requested in the main corridor.”

“It will have to wait as I have urgent matters to attend to, “she says walking in between them only to have them block her path.

“Remove yourselves!”

“Do as commanded, “Daiya says also surprised by their defiant behavior.

“Apologies, we have been commanded to escort you to the main corridor and see to it you arrive by any means.”

“By any means is that a threat!?”

“We are merely doing what has been commanded of us if we do not see this through I’m afraid our lives will be stilled.”

“Stilled what is your——–.”

“Daiya, pause and think with clear head who do you know would give such a command only to back it with hostile threats, “she says looking at her.

“Mother, “she responds fully understanding her meaning.

“Go and met Ausha tell Lara I will be at her side soon.” Daiya had a bad feeling wash over her she didn’t know why but felt the need to remain at her sisters side.

“Dane, I believe I should remain at your———.”

“Go, I’ll be fine you know mother I can assure this matter has to do with our disappearance these past days.”

“If so why not summon us both, “she asks curiously.

“Calm yourself, I won’t be too far behind you have my word, “looking smugly at the two guards before her, “You lead, I’ll follow.” Daiya stood idle watching her sister walk down the massive hall towards the corridor it wasn’t until she disappeared around the corner she left to see Auscha and give message to Lara. As the two guards pushed open the massive doors she was ready to give her mother the answers she wanted to hear hoping to end the pointless meeting and conversation early.

“Mother I can assure you both Daiya and I remain careful and aren’t engaging in any acts that could potentially bring us harm with that being said may I be ex——–.” She pauses mid-sentence as she notices her mother was not alone. Queen Maia nodding her head to the guards closes the doors behind her.

“Dana please come and join us.” Suspicious of what was about to take place she reluctantly walks towards where her mother stood eventually taking a seat at the huge round table next to her. Prepared before her was a grand feast consisting of goat meat, fruit, quail eggs, other foods considered to be a delicacy, and plenty of wine. It was clear she had been forced to attend a celebration but was curious as to the purpose behind it.
