Ranakin looked over the cliff as he watched a heavily escorted convoy came into Lynion. His darted around the convoy as he noticed the Valiant was returning with the first of the First Aerial Armada while escorting a fleet freighters and transport ships.

‘So all my capable officers are home again,’ smiled Ranakin to himself as Vamperial Lancaster Joseph came to his side.

“Sire,” started Joseph. “The Vamperial Order has allowed Roma V to visit us and a telegram will be sent out soon,”

Ranakin turned to Joseph as a flight of Cyclonic Bombers flew past the cliff while an aerial frigate was tailing them from behind. The wind was fast as jet planes soared over head while King Ranakin started to think about the conclusion the Order has come to.

“Excellent,” replied Ranakin with a smile. “How soon until the embassies are rebuilt?”

“By the end of the day,” replied Joseph. “Sire, you seem tired are you going to sleep before Roma Leaders come?”

“I will be in a few minutes in my hammock,” replied Ranakin as he started for his hammock which was in the shade of the palace. “Wake me up when Roma V comes,”

Joseph nodded his head and parted ways while Ranakin fell asleep with his hat over his head. His eyes wondered around until he went to sleep while the Convoy docked in the harbour’s around the Lynx Island.

TO: Roma V
FROM: Kingdom of Lynion

We would like to invite the current Roma V Leader to come and visit the Kingdom of Lynion. We hope to form an alliance and/or a trade agreement between our two nations. The Roma V Leader will have accommodation at the VIP Room in the palace, an escort party is welcomed but it should be stated that the Imperial Guardian Battalion is the main force which protects the palace at all times but we understand about you bringing an escort party.

We hope to hear from you soon about the invitation.

The Senate was assembled in one of their many meeting rooms. The day was quite a nice one so they chose the open-roofed room. It was half circle shaped with a small stage with a podium on one side and the hundreds of bleachers in the other half of the room where the Senators quietly conversed after just finishing a decision to provide Roman troops to Northern Rangeria to support the royalists against the Coup that had spiraled the country into a civil war.

The sharp knocking of a wooden gravel against the podium caught their attention and their conversations ceased as they all faced the old but still lively senator standing at the podium. "Gentleman we have just received a telegram from The Kingdom of Lynion requesting Emperor Quaeus visit their nation to discuss the possibility of an alliance and or trade agreements. As you all know they've been requesting this of us for some time and I feel now that Emperor Michael has returned to New Chalcedon it would be an opportune time for him to take a vacation of sorts while we handle the press once we've deployed troops in Northern Rangeria. All in favor?"

Resounding "Aye"'s were shouted in unison as hands were raised and young boy ran around and tallied each vote carefully, scribing the count down on the paper held on his clipboard. He returned the the senator's side dutifully as he asked: "All against?"

A set of "Nay"'s filled the room as they were shouted in unison and once again the boy tallied the votes. He returned to the senator's side once more and showed him the results.

"It's settled then, Emperor Quaeus will leave tomorrow for the Kingdom of Lynion. Call the Palace and let them know." he told a girl who stood at the doors amongst others. She smiled and bowed her head as she exited and went to perform the task.

Emperor Quaeus's Visit

Hail and well met to you, friends of The Kingdom of the Lynion. We, the Senatus de Roma V, have received your telegram regarding a visit to your nation by our Emperor. We have considered this with him and agree to send him. He will arrive on his personal jet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulfstream_V) with an escort of five
TF-70 "Shukusei Advanced Air Superiority Fighters (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12755481&postcount=1).

He will also be bringing an escort of six Corazzieri (http://www.elianadepaolis.com/photo/corazzieri.jpg) who are ceremonial bodyguards to the Emperor.

The fighter escort will fly in with the jet within the next two days and will be expecting refueling and any maintenance before taking off for home after the Emperor has been picked up.

Respectfully Yours,
The Senatus de Roma V

"Don't awaken Ranakin," said Xiahou as he stopped a runner from going to High King Ranakin.

"Sire, its from Roma V about coming here and I think..." started the runner.

"I'll handle it. Besides, Ranakin hasn't had sleep since 3 this morning and he needs all the sleep he'll get if he's to have Roma V leader come here," stated Xiahou as he took the telegram from the runners hand and started for the radar station.

Radar Station

"I want to send a reply to Roma V's telegram about the visit to Lynion," stated Xiahou.

"Got that sir," replied an operator.


TO: Roma V
FROM: Kingdom of Lynion, King Xiahou

We wish to state that the fighter jets will be welcomed in as part of the escort party. The pilots will be given R&R fully paid for by us while you're visiting Lynion.

When you come to Lynion, we request that the entire squadron of planes land at Lynx Island Main Airfield. I'll personally meet you as Ranakin is finishing off his work.

Emperor Quaeus woke in a startle from his slumber in his chair. He sighed in relief a bit, realizing it was only one of the stewardesses. She smiled apologetically and offered him a cup of coffee to wake him up. He took it with a warm smile and thanked her as she headed off. He presses a button on the arm of his chair and held it down as he spoke into a speaker on the arm as well. "How long until we reach Lynion, Captain?" He released the button upon finishing and the reply came: "Within the minute, sire."

Emperor Quaeus took a few sips of his coffee as he rotated his chair to face the window and glanced down at the land below.

A few minutes later...

"Control tower this is VIP Flight from Roma carrying Emperor Quaeus. Requesting permission to land, over", came he voice of one of the pilots of Quaeus's jet in the control tower of Lynx Island Main airfield.

As soon as permission had been granted the jet and slowly began its descent onto the runway. It slowly screeched to a stop and pulled off to the side of the runway as it's companion fighters followed suite.

A small ladder unfolded from the door of the jet and Emperor Quaeus stepped down onto the runway, his Corazzieri following him dutifully.

A motorcade entered the International Lynx Airport as a handful of tanks were being unloaded at the far end of the airport from a transport carrier. The motorcade consisted of 1 limo, an SUV, combat jeep and four motorcycle's. The limo came to a halt as the door was opened and a 6 foot 4 man in a navy blue trousers, cloak and slouch hat appeared in front of the limo.

"Hello," greeted the man as he came forward with five Imperial Guardians on either side of him. "My name is Vamperial Headmaster Knight Lee and I've being sent to escort you to the palace. High King Ranakin sends his apoligise's because he's in the middle of finishing a meeting and King Xiahou is currently away at the summit meeting. So if you could, we should get going to the palace,"

OOC: Just a note, Lynion, i'm RPing this as the Summit not occurring yet. That way Emperor Quaeus could be here. If not it'd be weird for him to be in two places at once. ;)

Emperor Quaeus smiled and bowed his head in respect to Headmaster Lee. "Thank you, Vamperial Headmaster Knight Lee. You don't mind if I refer to you as Headmaster Lee for the remainder of my stay here, do you? Also, don't worry about the others. I wasn't expecting them to send anyone too busy anyway. Let's head to the Palace i'm eager to meet High King Ranakin and any other senior members of his cabinet that will be there."

The Emperor got into the limousine, his Corazzieri not far behind him, and slouched back into his seat as he worked to hold back his jet lag.

"Sorry, I perfer that you call me Lee. I've have enough of everyone calling me by my titles and it gets annoying after a while," smiled Lee as he allowed Emperor Quaeus to get inside the limo.

Lee looked around as he glared at Mavax who was sitting in the limo. He was upset that Mavax didn't get out and greet the Emperor. Mavax looked around as his tentacles were forced back into his back as he listened to Emperor Quaeus say something about cabinet members.

"Sire," started Mavax. "We don't have a Cabinet nor what our allies call a Paraliament House,"

"What Mavax is trying to say Lynion is governed by another style of government," started Lee as the limo started to move after everyone got inside. "Lynion has two kings with Ranakin as High King and Xiahou as King. They have an equal say in an order called the Vamperial Order but we mainly see Ranakin around and from time to time Xiahou," stated Lee as he tried to explain how Lynion worked.

"You'll see Headmaster's who have the same rank as a supreme commander in a section and there's four in total. I'm the Supreme Commander of the Aerial and Air Force Sections. Vamperial Headmaster Jian is Supreme Commander of the Army, Vamperial Headmaster Tzu is Supreme Commander of the Navy and we have Vamperial Grand Headmaster Vamp whose in charge of the Vamperial Order," Lee stopped for a moment as he took a deep breath and a small drink of water. "You'll be seeing all the Headmaster's including Lancaster's who are in charge of foreign affairs, economy, education etcra and they are part of the Vamperial Order as well,"

The conversation made the trip feel easier as the door was suddenly opened. Mavax was the first to leave as he was part of the escort party for Emperor Quaeus and stood next to the door. He looked around as four people stood a fair distance from the limo awaiting for Emperor Quaeus to appear, among them was King Ranakin, Jian, Tzu and Vamp. In the background, statues could be seen but no visible bodyguards could be seen. Ranakin was looking around with a concerned look on his face.

Emperor Quaeus nodded his understanding as Lee explained their system of government. He stroked his chin in thought as he considered it and took in all the information. "I see. You're nation has quite a unique and probably one of a kind type of government. But what I meant when I said cabinet was whoever assists the two Kings in their decision making. It doesn't have to mean secretaries or minsters. Also I apologize, Lee. I too prefer to be referred to as Quaeus in casual encounters."

As the limousine came to a halt the Emperor thanked Mavax as he held the door open for him and his bodyguards as they exited. Emperor Quaeus stretched his legs and smiled as he spotted the small greeting party. He straightened up and began to approach them, his bodyguards eying the area around them with keen eyes.

Ranakin smiled as he greeted the Roman Emperor with a warm smile while the other four gathered behind him.

"Hello," started Ranakin as he shock hands with the emperor. "I'm High King Ranakin and welcome to Lynion. This is my group of advisor's," Ranakin steps aside as four people are lined up in the same identical uniform but different colours. "This Vamperial Grand Headmaster Vamp (silver colour), Vamperial Headmaster Jian (dark green colour), Vamperial Headmaster Tzu (dark blue colour) and Master Lancaster, Joshua (he's in a suit). King Xiahou is going to arrive later after he's done with the meeting on Union which is our colony,"

Emperor Quaeus returned the smile to the group and bowed in greeting to them. "It is a pleasure to meet all of you and an honor to be in your beautiful nation. I look forward to meeting King Xiahou when he arrives but I respect that he has more important matters to attend to other than myself."

A chourus of laughter was heard as Ranakin catched his breath.

"Xiahou could be on his way back for all we know," started Vamp.

"He could be looking through your files Vamp," smiled Jian as the laughter suddenly stopped.

Vamp pulled out his PDA and did something as Ranakin took Quaeus over to the cliff top as they could see a 360 view of Lynion.

"Don't worry about Vamp," started Ranakin as he pointed out. "Now, if the weather is clear we should be able to see the entire Grand Armada of Aerial Warships coming in,"

Ranakin pointed out as through the clouds several aerial carriers, destoryers, frigates, AA platforms and cruisers came through the clouds while decending towards Lynscert Island.

"That is the pride of our nation but I know you're not here to see them. One question I must ask your thoughts about," Ranakin turned to Quaeus as they stood watching the aerial warships. "Have you heard about the Ryous Second Civil War? If so, what do you think about it?"

Emperor Quaeus watched as the impressively large and vast armada approached the island. He mentally tired his best to imagine his own nation's fleet in comparison to size but had never seen the entirety of it and so had to end his mental calculations. Though right on time as Ranakin turned to him and spoke.

"That is the pride of our nation but I know you're not here to see them. One question I must ask your thoughts about," Ranakin turned to Quaeus as they stood watching the aerial warships. "Have you heard about the Ryous Second Civil War? If so, what do you think about it?"

"Ah yes. The military Coup led by General Asuka, I believe the name is, against their nation. It was...predictable, to say the least. They're a nation of war-mongering dogs and dogs do tend to get a little aggressive with each other for one reason or another", he said a smile.

"Ahh..." smiled Ranakin as they started for the palace. "It sounds like they need to keep the troops occupied. We have the same problem but we've figured out a way to keep them from waging war. Simple holographic battle,"

The pair started towards the palace hall as the Imperial Guardians saluted them. They entered a marble hallway as there was a picture with a question mark in its name. It was one of the queens of Lynion with a question mark next to the husband.

"Holographic battle, you say? Interesting technology. Would no doubt be popular with the video gamers of my nation.", said Quaeus as he followed Ranakin towards the palace.

Emperor Quaeus quietly observed the decorations of the palace hall. He paused, catching the question mark on the label to one of the many portraits. "Pardon me, Ranakin, but why does this painting have a question mark in its label?", he said.

"If your gamers like moving around and being fit, then yes they would like it. Perharps later we can go down and see on," replied Ranakin as they turned to the portarit.

"Pardon me, Ranakin, but why does this painting have a question mark in its label?", he said.

Ranakin looked at the painting and noticed 'Queen Eliza' in the name and the question mark next to the husband.

"Because no-one has figured out who was her husband, lover or boyfriend. Reason being, in 1938 she had twins. DNA doesn't match the twins from anyone because everyone's DNA changed afterwards in 1942," explained Ranakin.

Emperor Quaeus chuckled at the thought of the gaming society of his nation being fit. "Well, not yet. But maybe it will encourage them to get fit."

He listened intently as Ranakin explained how the Queen's partner's DNA had been lost after 1942. "What happened in 1942 that changed everyone's DNA? That doesn't happen very commonly on such a large scale."

"It keeps our teenagers and soldiers fit," replied Ranakin.

They turned to the painting as he listened to Quaeaus talked for a moment. His eyes darted around as the question mark sat idiolly next to 'Husband:' before the pair turned around to face a statue. The statue was of a werewolf with two swords in its belt and standing to attention.

"Corporal, dismiss and inform Mavax to have a change of the guards," ordered Ranakin.

"Yes sire," replied the statue as it came alive and saluted the two of them. He walked off through the hallway as he brushed off the dust around his shoulders.

"Don't mind the statues. Some are guards some are real," explained Ranakin as they turned back to the painting. "In 1942, Lynion was about to be invaded by the Japanese and everyone knew it was only a matter of time before we were conqueared by the Japanese. In 1936 or 1938, she had twins named Lankan and Esther. However, even then the father wasn't recorded by going back to 1942. Our Queen realised we'll become slaves, POW's and the women raped to death so she did the only thing she thought was right. She went down into a basement, found the door and opened it. In response to that, a spirit appeared and asked her what she wanted. She plead to the spirit begging for the safety of Lynion and its people. So the spirit argeed to it but also put forward four predictions which I'll explain later. During the First Wave of Japanese Forces, a freak storm appeared and helped the defenders repeal the Japanese Forces. Then for the first time in history our first hurricane appeared and kept circling Lynion but no damage was caused. 4 days after the hurricane died down, we turned into either werewolves or vampires. That is how we lost our Human DNA," explained Ranakin.

They walked through the hallways as they entered the main chambers.

"So then the spirit made three preidictions, two have come true so far. The first predicition was a monach would be killed. In 1945, Japanese Assassin's killed Queen Eliza. The second prediction was a monach twin wouldn't marry outside. Queen Eliza's twins, Lankan and Esther married each other. The third predicition made which hasn't come true, the most powerful guardian will be the return of the monachy. We've yet to firgure out who the husband is and who the guardian is,"

The pair walked through as they were greeted by King Xiahou.

Quaeus listened with great fascination as Ranakin explained the story behind their lack of Human DNA. It seemed a little far-fetched to him but then again there were a lot of strange things and people in the world he probably had yet to encounter.

"That's quite an interesting story, Ranakin. I don't believe anyone could claim the birth of their nation to be as mystical as your own. So all original Lynionians are either a vampire or a werewolf? Are there many Humans here in Lynion?"

As they continued their walk and spotted King Xiahou Quaeus smiled and bowed his head in respectful greeting to the King. "You must be King Xiahou, I take it? It's a pleasure to meet you. I hope my visit didn't force you to cut your meeting short."

"It isn't Lynionians it's Lynion's or Lynionities," corrected Ranakin. "All Lynion's stationed in Lynion and Union turned into Vampires and Werewolves. However, about 50,000 fleed to Australia, America and Britian and they stayed human. So when they returned, they found us as werewolves and vampires and it was hard being accepted especially the Imperial Guardians because they had mutated and now had 6 or 8 tentacles in their backs and two in their mouths. This bought to Lynion racisim to the entire race and Humans left but not before they kidnapped 125 children and teenagers from Lynion and gave them to other families who shot the children down to the lowest form. This wouldn't have being taken extremely seriously if Xiahou wasn't kidnapped. So, my father King Marcus demanded the children be return and of course they didn't. So he went out to the citizens of Lynion and they demanded the king do something and they chanted the word 'Death!' over and over. I went out and ask the people and everyone chanted 'Death to the Kidnappers!' they would chant. So Macus sent out the Elite Assassin Battalion or the Guardians of Hell. They got the children back and the parents were killed but some were spared," finished Ranakin.


The pair walked with Xiahou who came from a meeting and the group walked into the main chambers and sat around a table as drinks were coming by the butler.

"Meeting? Bah! Had a talk with the Union Guardians and the Lynx Guardians..." started Xiahou.

"Union is a faction and Lynx the other faction that makes Lynion," interupted Ranakin.

"...They finally decided about the chain of commands on the colonies and the fact they're to be part of the Vamperial Order," explained Xiahou to Ranakin. "Sorry, its not often we get news like this. I'm Xiahou and no my meeting wasn't cut short because of you. Actually it has occured to me that the question mark next to Queen Eliza's husband has being solved,"
