Welcome to Gaia! ::

The prince gulped a bit moving back from Rosatil fearing his mother would make her turn to ash where she stood and he didn't want burned. "I do believe their people might be touched in the head. For someone to talk to mom like that and walk away is very rare." He whispered to his sister.

Sodain sat then sneezed turning into a female from sneezing so hard into a handkerchief. Then he sneezed again turning back into male.

Queen Alatrixia smirked and started laughing. "He and his little brother Chaos are both abominations because of who their parents where. one of light and one of shadow, thus they are abominations, Not because they are half dragon and half phoenix yes I knew about them from the beginning Solaria and I know your there hiding under that hood my granddaughter. Unfortunately the circle of the council took my words the wrong way.

And yes I was the one who build the ship we left our home planet in and came to this planet. So I think I am well versed in how things work here. However there was an emergency function should life support fail it would have teleported the residential area to a spot on the surface and open. Or it would have until Sodain messed it up switching the power blocks to fully power the entire compartment." She said huffing brushing hare from her blood red eyes. "You have guts Rosatil so come and we shall get down to business with that treaty. You humored me greatly with your comebacks so quick and balanced as well as being full of wisdom a trait that is very rare in humans." Alatrixia said glancing to her youngest children with a sneer of promise of lessons to learn.

Sodain smirked a bit. "I will catch up once the room stops spinning." he said softly knowing Solaria and Rosatil's mother who followed Alatrixia would keep her safe.

Sodain looked at her and shook his head. "i just have this uneasy dizzy feeling. I got my own medicine for it. I just need some water." he said waving his hand over the ruby in his arm. "Return to me; my vilathur vial." He whispered and the one that was taken from him by Litsa's sister would find its way out of any pocket or bag and quickly fly off. In seconds a red blur resonating like a crystal chime would wiz past peoples heads and sodain puts his hand up catching the odd shaped ruby filled with dark red crystal like things.

The queen huffed at Sodain saying he will catch up. But she led the others to the council room the castle looked impressive on the outside though it almost seemed bigger on the inside then outside looked. Alatrixia sat in her chair and gestured for the others to sit there was 4 other chairs and a few maids waiting, As the queen sat the made on her side, which was the one the prince was scared of, Ysolda placed a royal crystalline like goblet before Alatrixia. "Feel free to sit, and request the maid here for what ever you would like to drink." Alatrixia said.

The prince looked oddly at the crystal thing Sodain held not saying anything just seemed curious.

Solaria opens her mouth to request when Skyla covered Solaria's mouth ordering for Solaria and herself. "Two blood wines please." Skyla said knowing they had some because of being able to smell it. Not knowing how ever it was always made fresh for Alatrixia. Who smirked a bit "Ah I see... So that's quite interesting." Alatrixia said never having met Syna's royal family directly herself.

The maids return with the drinks Solaria looking to her drink then giving a look to Skyla huffing. Solaria's look said what she was thinking. 'I was gonna request water before you took control of my order'

Skyla smirked "Oh come now you need this more then you think Solaria, Especially after what happened last night." Skyla said smirking and Solaria blush deeply dropping her head, Skyla pulls the collar of Solaria's cloak down and there was a few several bite marks from a vampire feeding on Solaria and it wasn't a male vampires size of large bite marks but smaller from a fully grown female vampire, And there was only one of those on Syna.

Skyla caressed the marks whispering into Solaria's ear causing her blush to deepen. "Hey now, you do that with your new wife back in the privacy of your own home Skyla." She obviously knew Skyla's name but never actually met her face to face. Solaria's eyes widen as Alatrixia referred to Skyla's new wife which skyla was being rather affectionate towards Solaria. Which was not a surprise just to Solaria.

Alatrixia eyed Skyla and Solaria sternly. "I don't need bothered with the distraction of the visiting queen flirting and toying with her new dragon wife while trying to focus on a good lasting treaty." she said sternly flipping her folding fan closed with a snap and pointed at Skyla. "So restrain yourself before I have it done for you." Then she looked to Rosatil. "So how should we start the discussion of peace terms and trade, I am sure you would be interested in trading with us as well." Alatrixia said reopening her fan and fanned herself a little.

Skyla looks down putting her hands in her lap making a pouty face like a kid would when scolded.

Alatrixia thought and Ysolda whispered to Alatrixia a bit. "Hmm that is a good point Ysolda. off limit without permission is over crops, orchards, cattle fields, or the castle without permission. Landing 30 feet away from the castle gate to walk up to the castle is permitted without permission as well as the other places, land on the ground then go to the farm to see about crop trade orders. We wouldn't want them flying over a medical herb crop sneezing fire or ice or any other element and accidentally wiping a whole crop out. or setting houses or the castle on fire or under ice." Alatrixia said.

When the servant brought Sodain his glass of water he twisted an odd triangle part of the ruby crystal vial 3 times getting 3 crystals in it pulling out what looked like a spout and poured it into the glass as the water started turning like blood. Sodain stirred the water and soon it was like pure blood. It was even thick like blood is and Sodain started sipping at it.

The prince wrinkled his nose finding drinking blood gross. "Gee sis he has more in common with you and mother than he does with me." He said walking off grabbing his bow and arrows to go try hunting. Looking over his shoulder he teased his sister. "Perhaps you just found your husband." He said knowing she was getting that age to be having arranged marriages set.

Sodain giggled and sipped more of the blood. The smell was strong to any who needed to ingest it to keep their strength up. Sodain spoke but his voice was in a pure female voice. "You know not all arranged marriages are bad, but if you want I could help you get payback on your brothers feathery a**." as Sodain had shifted into female form eyes a different color and hair from a dark to medium brown turned pure silver in color.

Sodia had come out more getting a feeling of being playful. She shifted her flames about as a silky princess dress similar in fashion and color as her brother wore but still different in a way, deploying her black wings she ruffled them as they changes into a fire that was like rainbow in color and when solidifying into feathered wings they remained a rainbow color which for phoenix's was a high royalty line and very rare among phoenix's to have rainbow flames or feathers, not looking anything like Sodain she giggled twisting innocently watching the ice dragon princess.

Alatrixia thought, "Well we have numerous crops. Mostly veggies and fruits, but a good portion of medical herbs. And a device of ever flowing water hmm that sounds interesting. Though we got a big body of water we are near now yet most of my citizens don't know where to begin with fishing or anything like that. I know concepts of it but I never liked touching or smelling the strong fish smell so I never actually learned how myself either. In fact here is a list of all that we could offer. the complete list of herbs and crops he have available right now for trade. And the ones on the blue sheet are newly planted crops." Alatrixia said handing a stack of 6 pages 2 blue 4 white. "Of course you can add fish to the trade list once the villagers are taught what they need to know about fishing, boat making, ways to catch fish and all that. and how to improve the hunting abilities of the royal and village hunters." Alatrixia said then looked to be pondering something.

Sodia giggled a bit. "You don't know about the black phoenix which is the most powerful phoenix well except for a rainbow phoenix but actually technically you need a member of shadow, and a member of light one of them being any species, preferable the male being anything but phoenix, though powerful in light magic by birth. And take a black phoenix of shadow and breed them and there is a 1 in 11 chances that a rainbow phoenix is born.

Unless the non shadow phoenix parent is a light dragon the well...... it is more like 1 in 3 chances. Though the shadow phoenix of black flame breeding with a light dragon of the sacred white flame. if the rainbow phoenix is born he/she can take the form of a black phoenix or that of any other color to hide the truth they are rainbow. though dragons always able to shape, gender, or age shift depending on their powers and how strong they are. The only phoenix able to shift those is if they are a rainbow phoenix." Sodia said half smiling.

"I see your brother is decent... at archery. And seems to hold a lot of pride in that." Sodia said giggling "What do you think he would do if a female did better then him?" Sodia said folding her wings into hiding watching the ice dragon princess giggling softly but deviously.

Alava walked in as well as wolfgar carrying huge stags one with a thin slice on it's neck and one that had a large chunk mauled out of it's neck. A few guards and the head royal huntsman followed them through the council hall to the kitchen preparation area. the room where animals got skinned and cleaned before going into the actual kitchen. Alatrixia raised a brow watching Alava mostly. "You let a woman hunt?" Alatrixia said and Skyla spoke.

"Yes indeed I find the few hunters my kingdom has hired was better at hunting, many times Alava and the 'daughters of the hunt' a few actually being her daughters but Alava can sneak up and be sitting on the back of a dear and the only time it would notice is when she had already slit it's throat with a dagger." Skyla said telling the truth of seeing how she had done it.

"In fact the best male hunter we had with a bow that could kill one prime deer with a single arrow and in the hunger games Alava always competes. It is a game held to see the best hunter. And the prince of another kingdom that was vying for my eldest daughters hand in marriage. Well she picked Alava as her champion and the prince had only 10 deer hunting arrows. He brought 12 deer back. Where two arrows hit into two deer with a single arrow.

The terms of this contest is the winner gets to pick who they want to marry or who not to marry. But can only use 10 arrows to hunt with no more then 10 and was designed to snag into the target to prevent pulling it out to kill another. How ever this was my fathers idea to start this game. Though he never said that other means of hunting was not allowed. The only rule was only use the 10 arrows provided no more than the 10 provided arrows and bring back as many hunted fully slaughtered to keep them from suffering deer to be proclaimed the winner.

So my eldest daughter chose Alava as her champion as she herself could not even draw back a bow. Though lacking in weapon ranged or close combat weapons my eldest daughter was a master of every kind of magic by the time she was 12. In fact at 2 years old she got scared at a spider on the wall granted it was as big as the palm of my hand. She screamed and her father, my first husband. told her to not be so weak and kill it herself. well she did, but she took 13 feet of the castle wall with it in the fiery explosion." Skyla said giggling. "My eldest daughter is still unmarried lets just put it that way."

Alatrixia raised a brow. "Alava is that good a hunter? You sure she is fully female?" She asked amazed at the story.
