Northern Conflicts

Operation Incognito

After training for weeks and researching nonstop Amethyst thought it would be great to treat her teammates on the last day of the week. "Where exactly are we going Amethyst I have to test a motor today." Bronon has to check a motor everyday so Amethyst wasn't concerned "I'm taking you out."

Ćib Riat spoke up "That much is obvious but he means where exactly."

"We are going to everyplace but one place."

Nab Press was the only one who understood what that meant "So your new found lesiure time game is hunting legends. Are we also not going to acknowledge the fact that Amethyst has way too many guards following her for us to actually have fun."

Amethyst stopped and looked behind her to see a total of four soldiers"Huh, that's new. Why is today different from the other days?"

Everyone stopped and looked at her like she lost a screw, it was the guard who led her to the north that spoke up first "This is the second day of us guarding you Lady Áxios, it is concerning that you will be going into battle with senses like that." One word, insulted. Amethyst felt as if she didn't need to pay attention to things that aren't threats and the only one who had given of that energy was the same guard that spoke. The only person that made her watch her own back when he passed. "The air determines what's threatening." The guard then finished the old saying "But the biggest threat is an ally of the air."

"What is your .... That is a reoccurring symbol that isn't in the libraries." Amethyst pointed at the symbol that looked like it was meant to be hidden from the masses. Some may say she was paranoid but all flames start with a spark and Amethyst Nãlan didn't like fires she didn't set.

"When do you have the time to research in the library?" Bronon has never seen her with a book much less go into the library. "I go into the library after you leave to complete your secret invention in the supposedly closed off inventors tower." Before Ćib Riat could add in her part Amethyst finished "You usually go into the library when the risen moon aligns with the moon that never moves, that gives me a little over an hour to take all the books I want and Nab Press usually goes to the library directly after training every 3 days."Her companions stopped to look at her,each finding it weird that she started mapping out their library patterns. Figuring out that this may be weird to them she tried to change the topic.

"However that is beside the point somebody should really draw the symbol for later probing."

Later that day Amethyst began her search for information. She started looking through records of the population of each region;then to history of each family in the region. While comparing old records with the new she realised that there some families that just appeared out of nowhere. "You are looking at our records because?" Amethyst was not aware of Beatré's entry. "What are you doing here this late?"

Beatré looked at her like she was crazy "Áxios I am here because I usually come here before morning training. You could not have spent the entire night reading records." Amethyst looked at Beatré as sheepishly as a wolf could look and said "I needed to decipher a code so I had to start from scratch, that should not be an issue right?" Beatré rolled her eyes and walked away showing signs of knowing something about a code.

Meanwhile Amethyst continued her work Bronon was in the trainings room asking Ayri 2.0 very detailed questions. He was so lost that he decided he was just reaching for anything at the moment. So he started looking at the symbol again and he realized that there were in six different colours. In the North the symbols were red and ocean blue, in the east they were white and emerald green. The west had violet and gold. "This is the second member of your team that I have seen in this condition since morning, preparation prevents poor performance yes but resting prevents dropping dead while performing." Bronon was shaken from his study "This isn't your training room princess..." Beatré cut him off "Since Áxios is so chummy with her teammates letting you people call me by my name won't hurt. I am Beatré Ferox and inventor requests your assistance Bronon."

Bronon looked at her wearily, he had heard of this princesses introverted tendencies and he had no intention of getting kicked out of the palace just because he was helpful "I will speak to Amethyst first but I can't make any promises you aren't her favourite person."

"Speak to me about what?" Amethyst walked over to the two "Beatré's inventor needs my help but I didn't know how you would feel about that."

Amethyst looked at her sister and smirked "I wouldn't have a problem with it unless it has something to do about the code you so selfishly want to keep to yourself." Beatré looked shocked "I don't know whether to be impressed or scared that you know when I'm keeping a secret." Bronon watched as the tension in the room sky rocket "I am confused, it's rare I know, but why do you two hate each other again?"

Amethyst answered first "I do not hate. My dearest sister here has childhood issues she wishes to take out on me and I have never walking in dung so I will not let this bloody do gooder use me as medicine." She finished that with a smile "I also do not hate but this here sister of mine has managed to make all the years of my life about her by not being in it. She is also an outsider who is very well leading Micralanza to us."

Bronon realized he might of added to the whole situation but he had to know "Why do you think she would lead Micralanza here?"

Beatré smirked "Amethyst Nãlan the first daughter of the House of Nãlan otherwise known as the First house of Micralanza."

"No one calls it the first house of Micralanza."

"First house as in..."Bronon looked at Amethyst and gasped "You lived with the most notorious murderers known to man." Amethyst couldn't decide if she was supposed to be angry at him or not so she addressed Beatré "Was that your attempt at making an enemy out of me Beatré, because I assure you I know how to play a lot dirtier than what you just did."

"Áxios I have a secret that could damage your image as salvation. Your threats do not scare me." Wèverly stepped in at that very moment "Sorry to interrupt but mother wishes to speak with us."
