Queen Kaymiril VII surveyed the room.

It should be suitable for the foreign ambassador's comfort. The high windows had their curtains drawn back to let in the light, which was oppressive at this time of year, but the room's design let in enough light that the room felt open, but shut out the blinding glare of the Kaymirilian noon-time sun.

There were tapestries along the wall, depicting the history of Kaymiril in the intricate designs of the Kaymirilian MasterWeavers. There were already several from the time she'd had political power.

This has been an active time.

She instinctively turned her head to her left to address her sister, but Dora'nes was gone...married to the Crown Prince of Newtdom some months back.

She checked her outfit -- the formal Maril regalia that had been in use for centuries. Perfect, despite the slightly rounded stomach that indicated about how far along her pregnancy was.

The door opened, and she stepped out. Walking through the hallways of the Valshanth, she gave some servants a few last minute instructions on refreshments and when they were to be served.

The doors to the entrance of the Valshanth finally opened, leaving the Queen to blink a few times in the harsh sunlight. The palace grounds sprawled out in front of her, tended to perfection. She would wait for the ambassador, a Glork by the name of Fredrise Dellaholgrun, on the top of the steps. A few handmaidens flanked her, and guards stood at the side.

She should be there very quickly.

********************************************************************
*******************************Earlier********************************

The best Kaymirilian landing strip was near the sea, and it was there that the Ambassador's craft had been directed to land.

Two men were there, waiting on a carpet. They wore swords and uniforms, with crests on the left sides of their chests indicating that they served the Queen.

The carpet was of intricate design, and sturdier than many types of wood. It was enchanted so that it would be able to levitate through the air. The journey to the Valshanth would only take an hour or so.

And so they waited for the Ambassador's arrival, patiently, as was the Kaymirilian way.

A Giant VSSD float into orbit toward Kaymiril as it slowly decended into the planet it was beautiful. They hit the landing strip and sent out a message.

"We have landed and we are carrying Ambassador to Kaymiril Fredrise Dellaholgrun. Do we have permission to deploy her?"

See Fredrise was a 13 year old Glork. For a homosapien 13 was young but they are pathetic monkeys. Glorks only live to be 36 on average but their life is alot longer. See a Glork ages differently. 3 monkey years is one Glork year and that's just how their body works so at 36 they normally die. She was a smart talented Glork and new her way around the political realm. She was smart and new how to weasel out of alot of things.

She was riding in a VSSD which is a favorite vessel of Zactarn Prime. This one was a capital one though. It's name was the Dominator. It was black with a tinge of red. It was a mean vessel outside but inside acomidating and comfortable. A nice ship.

They ship then said again.

"May we release miss Dellaholgrun?"

One of the men stepped forward. "The Zactarn Ambassador is welcome to Kaymiril."

His voice was amplified by a little device worn at his collar, so while his normal voice would not have carried much farther than the room he stood in, he could be heard plainly.

"We will escort her to the Valshanth, where she is to meet with Queen Kaymiril."

"Thank you may we bring a guard with strictly for protective reason only. Nothing will be tried it's just as a safety procaution."

"Your Ambassador may bring a guard of up to four. We understand your desire for her safety, although we can assure that no harm will come to her on Kaymirilian soil."

"Ok we wish that only one be brought then."

"Your Guard is accepted and welcomed."

"Alright."

Just then a large red hatch opened and red mable stairs rolled out each with a large cozzium rock in the middle. The Miss Ambassador Fredrise Dellaholgrun walked down the stairs with a dress that depicted a picture of the Zactarn Prime flag in jewlery. The jewlery was Black Diamonds for the black in the flag and the white were Diamonds. She looked like an angel as she walked down the stairs. She then turned to her guard who was now walking down. Once he was down next to her she looked at the men and said,

"Shall we go?"

As the Ambassador reached them, the men gave a half-bow, with their arms spread away from their sides and their palms up.

"Gre'as'anto lu' verve dro, Ambassador Dellaholgrun."

As she indicated whether they should go, the man with the superior rank nodded.

"If you will step on, here."

The other officer was already aboard.

"Can we offer you anything to drink for the trip? It will be approximately an hour long."

The elegant looking woman then spoke in a very raspy and dark voice that was shocing compared to her looks.

"Lemme Geta Whiskey!" she said

The soldiers looked at each other in some surprise, but served the requested drink as the rug levitated and started heading northwest.

She then took a shot and looked a little better and she spoke in a very firm but with a tinge of elegance said,

"I'm better now. When the hell are we gunna get there exactly?"

"In fifty-two minutes, as humans measure time."

The Kaymirilian landscape flashed beneath them as the clouds floated just above them.

Kaymiril was a beautiful country...somewhat harsh in areas, but lush in others, and most towns were small, but fairly close together.

fifty-two minutes later.

The carpet lowered at the gates of the Valshanth, and went on, nearer the ground and slower, as they approached the palace steps.

The guards allowed the Zactarn Ambassador to proceed up the stairs herself, and as she got to the top, the Queen gave a nod of greeting.

"Gre'as'anto lu' verve dro. You honor us with your presence."

OOC: Gre'as'anto lu' verve dro means Peace and Long Life. It is a typical, if somewhat formal, Kaymirilian greeting.

"Gre'as'anto lu' verve dro. So I am the one who should be honored not you. You are queen and I am an ambassador and you are "expecting" I see. 4 Months or late 3?" said the ambassador.

"Four months." A slight smile touched the Queen's face for a moment. "If you would come with me."

She stepped to the side and guestures towards the open doors behind her.

"All is prepared."

"So how many monkeys live on your planet. Homosapiens. They are pathetic or are you strictly Drow nothing else?"

"I can't say for sure how many humans there are on this planet...Kaymiril is one country of many. Currently living in Kaymiril, we have only one human, and also an elf, I believe. Other than that, while we have a lively trade going on with the other countries in our region, there aren't any humans in those countries, either."

"hmmmmmm anyway so who is the father and how is he. How long was it to conceive and was it accidental or were you trying. Like did you know you were ovulating or what?"

"The father is my husband...very much opposed to my actions in letting foreign ambassadors in, but it was an arranged marriage, so I'm stuck with whom I'm stuck with, even though I dislike him. As to how long it took...I am required to have three children by him, so I consulted my physician and he told me when would be the best time...so you could say I was trying."

By that point, they had reached the room where the talks were to begin, and the Queen motioned the Ambassador to a seat before taking her own.

"Hmm so harsh rules to marriage even royalty tsk tsk. So what are we to discuss?"

"We were to discuss a military alliance and trade agreement, for today's session."

"Ok so what do you propose we do? I hear that your planet is modernizing."

"That is true. With the help of the Snake Eaters government, our own technological abilities have improved by leaps and bounds in the past three years."

"Hmmmmm interesting. How about this. Since you have not yet fully modernized and are weak in the Intergalactic Universe we propose a Protectoral Aliiance stating that Zactarn Prime protects Kaymiril from any attack and will build 3 military bases on the planet that over time will become yours. We will only protect you untill you have technologically advanced enough to support yourself. We will no longer protect you after that but will remain allies so that in an attack we will jump in and help you or your allies or any battle,skirmish,or war that you encounter. I'm out of breath can I get a nice TALL glass of whiskey?"

The Queen guestured to a servant, who went to fetch the drink.

"While we appreciate Zactarn's generous offer, I'm afraid it isn't needed. Kaymiril is a large nation, with a respectable military. We have bases, and can build more, over time. Also, what you are proposing sounds a lot like a dependency, and while your nation is small enough that I doubt you could be a threat, especially with our more advanced allies at our backs, it does not sound like what we need. The Snake Eater Empire has already agreed to help us as we venture out into space on our own, with both scientific data and military might."

The drink was set beside the amassador, and the servant set a delicate cup in front of the Queen.

"We would be interested in a mutual alliance, where we agree to aid each other in wars, should we encounter any...but Kaymiril is no one's protectorate."

the ambassador drank the glass in a gulp and looked at the queen and said,

"A mutual Alliance sounds great and respectable not to be a protectorate. And don't let our size fool you we are small but tactical. Have you ever heard of the Gyfuilad and Frequgulous War on Nampifad 9?"

"No, I haven't. Distant wars that nations we have never encountered wage are of little to no interest to us. However, I doubt that your fleet could very easily go head to head with some of the larger nations in existence, superior tactics or not."

"Yes I undestand quite well 349 ships beats 20 easily even with tactics but not always. It is rare but with the right leader doing the right thing and hitting at the right time can be devastating. So this Alliance what shall we do?"

"The economic alliance will lower all tariffs between Kaymiril and Zactarn, allowing profits to be maximized on both sides. The military alliance could include anything from an exchange of men to actively serve in the other's military forces, to only going and aiding when the other has landed in some sort of military trouble."

The Queen took a sip of her drink, then looked at the ambassador, setting the cup down.

"Hmmmmm Military Preferably but a mixture of both would be extremely good for both sides."

"I was proposing a military and economic alliance. Kaymiril is a peaceful nation, but realizes the value of force at times. We merely need to hammer out the details of the alliances here."

"Hmmmm so a Full Alliance with Economic and Military Benefits sounds good to me."

"A detail that I will insist upon is this: Kaymiril is not bound to aid Zactarn Prime in any war that it instigates. Nor is Zactarn Prime bound to aid Kaymiril in a war of Kaymiril's own instigation."

"Yes that is reasonable."

Queen Kaymiril VII guestures to a servant, who brings the Ambassador a sheaf of papers bound in a silken covering.

"I have written up a treaty. Read over it, and you may suggest changes to it. When that is done, I will sign it, and you may take it back to your ruler for his signature."

She reads over it looking at it intently. She puts it down and looks at the queen.

"Hmm it looks good I will sign Darth Vaclavious has informed me to sign it for him in his abscence. You really must come to Zactarn Prime. It is a misconception that because he is a Sith our planet is ugly and he is evil. It's really quite the opposite."

"I will of course visit at some point, but now is not feasible, for fairly obvious reasons."

"Ok very well I will inform mister and misses Vaclavious. Any way shall we sign?"

An inkwell and quill are set at the Ambassador's side.

She Then dips the quill in the ink and signs "The Republic of Zactarn Prime Miss Ambassador Fredrise Dellaholgrun."

A servant brings the treaty back to the Queen, who signs it in the barbed but flowing Drow script.

((In Phonecian letters...))

Kaymiril VII, Valsharess d' Kaymiril

((Kaymiril VII, Queen of Kaymiril.))

"Ok then. Do we part now or do we go ahead and have at another activity?"

"You are welcome to join my mother and I at dinner this evening, other than that, we are finished."

"You are welcome to join my mother and I at dinner this evening, other than that, we are finished."

"That would be quite lovely what will we be having?"

"Dishes you'd likely never have heard of, and which I found very difficult to explain to Lord Barbarossa when he visited. Is there anything in particular you would prefer?"

"O I don't wanna be a burdon i shall have what your having."

"Very well. Dinner is not for another hour and a half yet. Perhaps you would like to tour the palace or the gardens? Or would you rather rest after your long journey?"

"A tour would be nice."

The Queen looks at one of the men who had been guarding the room. "Haldosir, would you be so kind as to take her?"

She turned back to the ambassador. "Most times, I would be more than happy to take you myself, however, today there are a few pressing matters that require my attention."

"Very well Tyrifoid come with us."

her guard then scurried over to the 2 immediatly.

The Queen left, accompanied by a different guard, and Haldosir turned to the ambassador.

"Where would you like to go? The Valshanth alone would take hours, as would the gardens."

"Same as the Vaclavious Temple but I don't know this place so where should we go?"

"Then perhaps we should merely tour this level of the Valshanth itself."

"Very well."

The guard began to lead the ambassador around that particular floor of the Valshanth, explaining the historical significance of some of the works of art, and under which Queen this particular segment of the Valshanth had been built under.

At the end of the tour, they wound up at the dining room.

"The Queen and her mother will be entering shortly."

"OK I will wait then."

Lord Barbarossa of Snake Eaters sat back as his ship approached the planet. Outside the window, he surveyed The Queendom of Kaymiril... a place he hadn't been for so long. Not since the coronation of Queen Kaymiril VII... he also hadn't seen his friend Colonel James Cougar in a while, for the Colonel now lived in the country.

The red diplomatic ship came softly down to land on the strip, taxying to a halt with it's near-silent fusion engines powering down. As they did so, Jacius Barbarossa emerged from the interior. He was late, and he knew it... but no matter. This was not so much a state vist as seeing a friend... not a close friend, but one nevertheless. He adjusted his tie, underneath his dark blue pinstripe suit, and made his way down the walkway. He had no bodyguards, for he did not need them. Having served with SESOU (Snake Eaters Special Operations Unit) made him more qualified then any civilian bodyguard

*This is while the Zactarn Prime ambassador is speaking with the Queen of Kaymiril.*

A couple of guards are waiting with a carpet, and they give a standard Kaymirilian bow as Barbarossa approached.

"Gre'as'anto lu' verve dro', Lord Barbarossa. The Queen will be glad to see you."

"Gre'as'anto lu' verve dro'. And I will be glad to see her also"

Zactarn Prime is here also... this should make things interesting... I will not take insults lightly

He followed the guards,"I assume it is a carpet ride to the Valshanth?"

"Unless you'd prefer riding on a Thalack."

He shrugged nonchantly,"I have travelled on a carpet before, and found it pleasant. I realise that I am late arriving, so speed might be of the esscense"

"Do not worry about the time. At this moment, the Queen is in a meeting, so I doubt it will be noticed if you arrive late."

"If it were anyone else, I would agree with you. However, the Queen has an aptitude for noticing small details"

"The Queen is a forgiving person...and if I got the right impressions of the Ambassador, your presence at all would be very welcome."

He guestured for Barbarossa to step onto the carpet.

Barbarossa did so,"Oh? I have heard of the peoples of Zactarn Prime are highly intolerant of humans, but never of Drow"

"If that is the case, there might be trouble...but I was told that a sizable amount of their population was human."

The carpet lifted and started on its way to the Valshanth.

"Would you like something to drink on the way? We should arrive in time for the evening meal."

"In any case, I have not heard great things from civil traders... and many thanks for the offer of a drink. Water, with ice, please"

The drink was served, and within an hour they had reached the Valshanth.

Barbarossa was ushered inside, where he was greeted by Queen Kaymiril VII.

"Lord Barbarossa, it is a pleasure to see you again."

Barbarossa smiled,"And also to you, your Highness. You did not tell me you are with child"

"We are Drow...and there is much that we cannot do when with child...many forms of magick included. So this...is generally kept secret until well after the child is born."

"Understandable. May I ask, how many months?"

"Four. Now, will you join us at dinner? We also have a Glork Ambassador from Zactarn Prime...who annoyingly enough offered to make Kaymiril a protectorate of that nation. Needless to say...the offer was not accepted."

"I will join you, certainley... and I know of the Glork. They despise humans, as a rule... this will prove interesting. You have my word, nothing adverse will occur at dinner, for they may attempt to provoke me. I can understand your annoyance also... the launch is not that far off, is it?"

"No...it is very soon, now. Within the next few weeks."

"I may not be able to make the launch in person, unfortunatley"

She nods. "There are other things you must attend to. Easily understandable. We may call on Cougar to be there, so that we can have a Snake Eaters representative."

"I'm sure the Colonel would attend... but he would do it grudgingly. He doesn't do diplomacy, as I'm sure you have noticed"

"No, he doesn't. I'm looking forward to being there, in any event. Don't know what Mith will have to say about that, though."

"Sometimes it's best to ignore the medics... if only to annoy them, or if you want to get something done. I doubt very much that it will do the child any harm"

"Probably not, yes...but I'd rather be safe than sorry...and you've met my husband, Lord Barbarossa...so you know why."

Barbarossa's face darkened slightly at the mention of the Queen's husband... their meeting had been less than successful,"Then prehaps your husband could attend in your place... though you would do well to warn him, insulting Cougar is never a good move, for any person"

"Do you think I'd let him attend when it is my place to stand up there, and this is a project I've been pushing very hard? No...never."

Barbarossa smiled,"You are indeed a great leader of your people"

"That will be for my grandchildren to decide."

"I will not live to see that day, and so I pass my judgement now"

"Thank you for your confidence...but wait a few years...this might be a grand mistake for Kaymiril at this point in time."

"Whilst I am in power, you will have an ally in the stars"

"And that means a lot to us."

He smiled slightly,"Don't take this the wrong way, but the smell of food is enticing. I haven't eaten anything proper since last night"

"Of course. We're all but there. Unfortunately, my mother won't be joining us...she has a fairly dim view of foreign affairs."

The doors open, and as the Queen and her guests take a seat, dinner is served.

There are, of course a couple of kreren dishes...kreren is a staple food in the Kaymirilian diet.

"As does a fair proportion of the nobles, from what I hear"

Barbarossa sat in his alloted place. He enjoyed the kreren, well, as much as he could, being human. He'd never warmed to the stuff

"Mmmmmmm This is good what is in this if I may ask?" asked Fredrise.

"Kreren, and local greens...and that's a meat dish. Comparable to what a humans would call a 'sheep.'"

"Ah, something I understand"

Barbarossa served himself some meat, savouring the flavour

It actually tastes like a cross between turkey and veal, with an odd kind of undertone.

He chewed on a piece for a moment, thinking about the taste. He swallowed it, and then sipped at his water,"That was... interesting to say the least"

"Was I wrong in my comparison?"

"It's difficult to put it into one class or another"

"I don't believe i've been introduced to the "ape" over here." said Fredrise.

This was a test. She didn't despise of all humans. No one on Zactarn Prime did. We just dislike the futile little non-strong ones that are scared of other species for the most part and are incompetent and are worthless compared to the other species. She waited to hear his response to judge him on his character to see whether she liked him or not.

"It's difficult to put it into one class or another"
"I see. The name we give it would be very difficult for a human to say. Even our children rarely can pronounce it."

"I don't believe i've been introduced to the "ape" over here." said Fredrise.

"This is Lord Barbarossa of the Snake Eater Empire...our strongest ally. And humans are not apes, I would ask you to remember."

Barbarossa smiled,"It's fine. I like it actually"

He turned to the Glork ambassador,"Obviously, you are ignorant and foolish to believe that I am a mere ape. No ape can smell with it's tongue like a snake, nor can they travel amongst the stars, helping to bring other peoples into the galaxy without subduing them... I can see that to talk with you would most likely be a waste of my time, as your opnion seems set"

Barbarossa smiled,"It's fine. I like it actually"

"WOW!! I like you. I am Fredrise Dellaholgrun Ambassador to Kaymiril from Zactarn Prime. If you are at all confused let me clear this up. What I said was a test to see your character and your strength or lack there of. Obviously you are a strong leader and strong-willed man. See Glorks do not hate all humans not even most. We dislike the more weak and futile ones that are not as strong as the other species. We dislike the ones that are mere monkeys like their ancestotrs and cannot comprehend anything advanced. There are many many exceptions to this such as yourself. So let us start a new and right. What is your planet like?"

said Fredrise in one giant withering breath as she almost gasped for air inbetween sentences. It is strong to speak in one breath and not pause. It gets your point acrosss better.

"Then you must learn to show your selectiveness more openly. If you don't, you will make many enemies. We have many planets, but mine is particularly beautiful. Similar to this one, but much of the inner continents is jungle"

"Then you must learn to show your selectiveness more openly. If you don't, you will make many enemies. We have many planets, but mine is particularly beautiful. Similar to this one, but much of the inner continents is jungle"

"I have many ways I find out such a person. But anyway your planet must be beautiful then. I'd love to see it. Maybe since we each have Kaymiril as an ally maybe we could be to. What do you say. Well of course I'd love to doit at your planet or mine. As a matter of fact why not come Zactarn Prime once we leave this wonderful palace? We can talk there. Zactarn Prime also has many planets but the main planet, Zactarn Prime, Is beautiful with vibrant blue and green skies with Pink,Red,and Navy sunsets. Many lush forests are scattered throughout the planet. It is beautiful."

"It could be arranged, but not at such short notice... I have many things I must do before I leave Kaymiril"

"Understood yes this would be short notice. Hopefully we may keep in touch." said Fredrise.


OOC: do you have AIM or AOL so this way I can IM you and we can work out a diplomatic thread?

OOC: I have neither

IC: "It is a distinct possibility," said Barbarossa, pouring himself some more water. He didn't drink alcohol very often

OOC: crud.

IC: "This Meal Was Delicious." said Fredrise.

OOC: You win some, you lose some

IC: "Drow food is a little odd to the human palette, as I have remarked before. However, the meals are always good here, as befits the Valshanth"

A servant came and spoke briefly with the Queen...softly and rapidly in Drow.

She stands.

"I must apologize, but something has come up that requires my attention. Please feel in no hurry to leave, but I will not be joining you again. Lord Barbarossa, a pleasure, as always, and Ambassador Dellaholgrun, we of Kaymiril look forward to a long and prosperous alliance with your people."

She takes her leave.

*Before the Queen leaves*
"And to you as well, your Highness"

*After*
"I hear that you proposed making Kaymiril a protectarate... tell me, doesn't that seem a foolish gesture?"

*Before the Queen leaves*
"And to you as well, your Highness"

*After*
"I hear that you proposed making Kaymiril a protectarate... tell me, doesn't that seem a foolish gesture?"

"Why yes I did as I had no clue that Snake Eaters was allied with them as well. See the planet is large and so is the army but with their ancient technology they are vulnerable and could be defeated rather easily. A VSSD or any Super Star Destroyer could come in and blow the planet to bits and they wouldn't know. But I see that your planet is funding them and allied with them so I see that there is no need for them to be anyones protectorate. and may I have you know that the size of an army is not all that wins a battle or a war.It's tactics that do." said Dellaholgrun

OOC: Finally, someone who agrees with me...

IC: "But this is Terra... to destroy this planet would be to destroy many nations at once... and never assume that because they seem technologically inferior that they are not a dangerous threat. I for one would not fight the Kaymirilian mages, for I have seen first hand their powers at work. And Snake Eaters is not funding Kaymiril... we are merely helping them at their request to expand to the stars"

He picked at a piece of meat with a toothpick before continuing,"The size of a ship does not matter in a space battle... a Super Star Destroyer is too large to be effective. Smaller, more agile ships are more likely to win the battle... they are more tactically flexible"

OOC: Finally, someone who agrees with me...

Smaller, more agile ships are more likely to win the battle... they are more tactically flexible"
OOC: Yes 300 soldiers marching and just plain shooting could easily be picked off by 3 snipers hiding and picking 'em off like flies.

IC: "Yes I do agree but man SSD's have a squadron or 2 of TIE Fighters and we all know how effective TIE Fighters are." she said looking at him waiting for a response.

"TIE's effective? Your brain is scrambled. They may be small and agile, yes, but their lack of shields makes them easy targets. Espcecially when you consider that they swarm their targets, making it easy to simply fire at the clump. You are more than likely to hit one"

"TIE's effective? Your brain is scrambled. They may be small and agile, yes, but their lack of shields makes them easy targets. Espcecially when you consider that they swarm their targets, making it easy to simply fire at the clump. You are more than likely to hit one"
"Yes but many newer TIE's do have sheilds and a TIE is one of the most inexpensive ships making them easier to buy and equip with new technological advances."

"I still prefer the Cobra fighters, developed in Snake Eaters. Slightly bigger, but more heavily armed, well shielded, and above all, cost-effective"

"I still prefer the Cobra fighters, developed in Snake Eaters. Slightly bigger, but more heavily armed, well shielded, and above all, cost-effective"

"Your planet intrigues me as well as my Lord. He has been listening on my wrist communicator." she lifted up her wrist to reveal a communicator disguised as a watch.

"He wanted to make sure negotiations went smoothly. He is very interested in meeting you in person. He just left for something of importance but would like to meet you and discuss a possible alliance." said Miss Dellaholgrun.

Covert surveillance? Somehow, I doubt listening is all they are doing...

"Again, it would take time to set up a meeting"

hrmmmm I hope he dosent think i'm a spy the last thing Zactarn Prime needs is violence.

"Yes I do understand we will talk about it and set up a time and date."

OOC: Use italics for thoughts, it makes it much easier

IC: "We will not talk about it now, as the hour grows late, and we should retire"

OOC: Use italics for thoughts, it makes it much easier

IC: "We will not talk about it now, as the hour grows late, and we should retire"
"Yes I do agree. Maybe we can set something up another time but I do agree I must be leaving." She said standing up and turning around.

Barbarossa made a small motion of goodbye to the ambassador, then turned and left the dining room, making his way to the room allocated to him. Familiar enough with that part of the Valshanth, he found it without any trouble. However, upon entering the room he found himself confronted by a man surrounded by white fire,"Ah, so you made an appearance at last"

C -- "Do you have any idea what time it is? I'm trying to sleep here, I've got an early start tomorrow"

The fire vanished as quickly as it had come, and the two men sat down and spoke to each other for an hour or so, before the blond one stood,"I've got to go, Jacius. I'll see you again before you leave"

B -- "Give my love to Rhenna"

C -- "I will"

He flared once more, and vanished from sight. Barbarossa stood there a moment,"I'm never going to get used to seeing him do that"
