Chapter One: A typical Meeting for the Royal Family

Tension is high between the sisters

      "The streets have been secured, No one will be able to interfere or harm you during the festival my lady" The Leader of the Protectors says to The young empress that sat before him. Nevaeh Flight shakes her head letting out an annoyed sigh and tilts her head, indicating that he should sit down.

 

      "That's great Amarock, But are my People safe? That is the main concern, I don't want any unwanted guests to come barging in and disturbing the people." She says in her light voice. Amarock stares at her, his body going slightly rigid.

 

        "My first Priority is keeping you safe." He says trying not to lash out at his Empress. Nevaeh sits up a little straighter in her chair, Quiet Power radiating from her.

 

      "Your FIRST priority is to keep The Kingdom Of Amythest Safe from Harm, Inside and Out! Your SECOND priority is to protect the royal family, And Lastly your THIRD priority is to be my bodyguard. DO I make myself Clear?" She says in a calm voice, authority coming off of every word. Amarock narrows his eyes his body going perfectly still. The two watch each other, neither one wanting to back down.

 

      Hawk Flight, who was sitting adjacent from his younger sister clears his throat and opens his mouth to intervene. At that exact moment the large silver and purple doors of the great hall bang open.

 

      "My Twin is Right Little Amarock, Your first priority is to keep this kingdom safe." Fenix Flight says entering the great hall, Her husband, Spith Azakari right behind her. "Once that duty is done then you can guard her body," She crosses the room and sits down across from Hawk and puts her feet up on the table. Spith stands behind her chair, his arms crossed, surveying the room, "Any way you see fit." She finishes looking from Nevaeh to Amarock, a sly smirk across her face. She was referring to the fact that Not only was Amarock First in command of The protectors, (the police of the kingdom) And Empress Nevaeh's bodyguard, But he was also her Consort and was known to visit her in the dead of night. Nevaeh blushes and clears her throat.

 

      "Ah sister, how nice of you to join us." Hawk says in his calming voice. Fenix slices her gaze over to her older brother and flashes him a smile. He looks at her feet and looks back at her face, Clearly telling her to remove them. She smirks again and slowly, one foot at a time places them on the floor and leans back in her chair, Spith resting one of his hands on her shoulder to keep her from falling.

 

      "Right, well now that we are all here lets get to business." Neveah says recovering from her slight embarrassment. " Hawk, what needs to be addressed first." She asks turning to Hawk. He looks down at the parchments in front of him looking over the list of topics that needed to be discussed.

 

      "There are five new dragon eggs that need your approval Nevaeh, and Fenix we still need your input about creating a new Amethyst mine at the base of grace hill." He informs them looking up from his list. Nevaeh smiles a genuine smile at the thought of new baby dragons flying around. Fenix just frowns, her brow furrowing, making her sun tattoo between her eyes to appear deformed.

 

       "Grace Hill? That is the hill next to Helios's temple correct?" She asks, searching her memory trying to answer her own question. Hawk nods his head. "Then my answer is no, We will not open up a new mine." She says waving away the idea. Nevaeh looks at her sister in surprise and fury.

 

       "FENIX! we Need another mine! the first mine is starting to deplete! I've heard the miners complain about it!" She says with outrage. Fenix drops her chair on all fours and stands up, facing her sister.

 

       " I will not have a busy and impossibly loud mine next to Helios's temple! How are people suppose to pray when there is constant nose and chatter?" She says challenging her sister to defy her. Amarock takes a step toward her, trying to put himself between the two empress's, Spith sees this and takes a step toward him, his hand resting lightly on the hilt of his sheathed sword. Amarock snickers at him.

 

      "I'd like to see you try." He says to Spith, menace lacing every word as he drops into his protector role. He shifts his weight and draws out his own sword. Spith whips out his sword which quickly breaking apart into two single handed swords. His eyes never leaving Amarock.

 

    "Vaeh Get your Barbaric Consort under control before I take matters into my own hand." Fenix hisses. her tattooed palms growing warm as her power of fire starts to heat up.

 

      "MY Barbaric Consort? What about your unruly thug of a husband! I thought Army men were more civil then that.. NIX" Nevaeh spits. Her own tattooed palms cooling as her power of water starts to form.

 

      Suddenly a magnificent larger then average Hawk swoops in on the four, giving off an earsplitting Shriek that makes them stop what they are doing and cover their ears. They look upwards to see the Hawk nose dive to their brothers now empty chair and see it land gracefully onto the plush cushion. With lighting sped that was to quick for the average human eye the bird transforms into their brother, not a hair out of place. He once again turns to his list

 

      "Great, now that I have your attentions, I agree with Fenix, the mine should not be places that close to a place of worship. it would greatly dishonor the great God of the Son." He says getting back to business as if there wasn't just a spat between the others in the room. He looks up to find the others just staring at him wide eyed. The tension slowly diffusing. He sighs

 

      "What is the point of continuing that fight? Hmmmm? You girls cant use your powers on each other, Thank Isis, and you two would have just torn each other to shreds resulting in nothing but chaos and a mess to clean up. Now that that is settled I believe we should get started on finding a new place to build the mine, as Nevaeh said the first one is depleting and we need to quickly create a new one so we can keep jobs here. Now please, Take your seats." He says jesting to the seats around him. Slowly the others finds their seats and start tossing around Ideas of where the newest mine should go, making a total of 8 mines all together.

 

     Hawk just looks around the table and shakes his head. Sometimes being the balance between the twins was hard work. But it was his destiny and he took it with great pride and honor.
