The longer the meeting commenced the more frustrated Bette was becoming. Sitting alongside Gaia they were in agreement about what must occur in order to reclaim Lesbinannicus. With the exception of them both no one else knew that a royal member had survived. Alice life was at risk and not fully knowing who they were in the presence of it was best that neither one disclose her location. The meeting wasn’t going according to plan as the decision on what to do was split in half. On one side many felt starting another war would result in more bloodshed. While the others stood firm in their beliefs that war was the only solution given it was Jennicus whom they were dealing with.

“You plan to start a war with what army?”

“There are many loyal followers who still pledge their loyalty and allegiance to the queen, “Gaia says convincingly.

“How many are we talking about a few hundred a mere thousand?”

“Why do you ask if oppose the thought?”

“To help you see your plan is nothing more than an illusion.”

“How so, “Gaia ask somewhat amused by the woman speaking.

“Your pursuit of vengeance is understood we are all angry our beloved queen and family were removed unwilling from this Earth. Jennicus will pay with her life mark my words however, it is going to take much more than a few hundred soldiers to defeat her!”

“What is your name, “Bette asks.

“Shane, I served under the queen many moons ago.” Out of all the members in attendance Shane and another woman were the only ones speaking on the matter.

“She’s right.”

“And you are?”

“Nivea.”

“I take it you served as well?”

“No.”

“Then why are you here this place is sacred reserved for members only?”

“Let’s say I know Jennicus very well.” Bette not knowing how to respond wants to press her further for information but decides against it and stares at her. Although, she had just met her Bette didn’t care too much for her smug attitude.

“Is there a problem Bette, “Nivea responds agitating her.

“If you don’t hold fucking tongue soon you shall find out!”

“Enough, “a voice shouted getting the attention of everyone in the room including Bette and Gaias. Struggling to stand the woman finally finds balance and speaks it was Ascara the eldest and most respected member. On her 122^nd name day her hair, skin, and eyes all turned white. Due to her withered appearance, wealth of knowledge, and endless medical remedies many referred to her as “Zahra” meaning white flower.
