"Children, welcome to my safe space." Quad Nores opened a door that led to a dimly lit cave like room with a window with a view of acres of land. "I understand there has been a bit of tension between you and I want you to know that this is a place to solve our issues."
"I as you already know mother I am incapable of having the conflicts you speak of." Wèverly said with a little bow. She then turned to leave the room when her mother stopped her "Now, now child keeping the peace means nothing if you allow things that go against it to prosper. I don't think I should have to repeat that to you love."
"Just pretend you are repeating it so I can hear it. If you don't mind me saying Milady but that saying justifies doing wrong." Amethyst thought that she could not be the only person who could make a few scenarios where she would face no consequences after burning a village and slapping a peace sign over the act.
"The saying is from the older people of our land where we were not just labelled as peaceful but honourable. A time when honour meant just as much to us as peace." This was the first time Wèverly displayed an emotion other than happiness. Both Beatré and Wèverly looked absolutely annoyed.
"Mother we are here to speak of Áxios."
"No Beatré we are here to speak of the issue..."
"Exactly Wèverly, we are here to speak of the issue."
"Milady can you please explain to me why Beatré has an issue with me."
"Children you should be above bickering you have the weight of our land on your shoulders pushing down a supporting pillar will only make your burdens greater. Shame on you for having to be told this!" There was silence and two of the four women standing in that room looked at the queen in shock. They apologized to their mother and Beatré started explaining the problem.
"I have nothing against the West mother but I had set eyes on the North years ago when I was allowed to go sightseeing on my birthday." Everyone stood there waiting for her to continue "I would have accepted not getting it if it was given to Wèverly but it was given to the girl who robbed me of freedom."
Amethyst felt like if she was going to speak a fraction of her mind it was going to be at that very moment
"I, my and me. For someone who grew up with someone who has your face you seem to think only your feelings matter. I was found in a burning village with dead bodies surrounding me and covered in blood. In the middle of a huge crib large enough to fit two babies on each side. Your freedom is the debt for me being left in that crib so suck it up because I. Am. Here. To. Stay."
Wèverly decided it was her turn to pitch in "Beatré trust me when I say that you are not missing out on anything when it comes to the North and looking on the bright side, children will love your story. The. Legendary lost daughter, I can see so many happy faces." Quad Nores smiled at her daughters "See I lied about this being a safe space. Don't put your trust in the room when it is the people that you must trust. A safe space is only safe when you feel safe around the people in it."
Amethyst thought it was now or never, she say what she thinks is important and no more.
" While looking around the land I found symbols, colour coded symbols, six in total. " Quad Nores looked concerned she knew things may get bad they always seem to get bad very quickly in her opinion "Does anyone know anything else?" Wèverly looked around clueless and Beatré started playing with her necklace "I found the symbols two days before you and started researching so far I know that
Specialized operatives for two of six lands were already living in the Northern, Eastern and Western parts of our land. I snuck a use off of Ayri 2.0....."
Amethyst stopped her "Bronon's Ayri 2.0? Bold move."
"..and they are marked as active in the field. Activated on the day the Áxios Ferox arrived and ever since then they have been doing conspicuous things."
"What you are saying is that Anzula lied to our faces, I call treason punishable by...."
"We are peacemakers Amethyst."
"There are many was to ascertain peace Wèverly and some involve making a statement."
"How about you two listen to what mother has to say to us before we start planning."
"I want the three of you to keep training for the battle meet in secret and plan for every possible attack I will prepare people on my end. Now off you go."
