Crossover Chapter 5

Cisco nervously adjusted his clothing one more time. He'd gotten a few sets now since it seemed they'd be there a while. Still none of them were very fancy. What do you even wear when going to see a queen? Cisco would have assumed his uniform in his world however this country was very strange.

"It's alright, you look fine." Oriel assured Cisco as they approached the palace gated. She and Anatol were the ones going to meet the queen. This meeting had actually been postponed once already. They were supposed to meet a few days ago but Mavati had called them out to discuss the disappearance of five others.

Cisco only gave a slight nod in return. He wasn't really worried about how he looked so much as he was worried about insulting a foreign queen who may decide the best way to deal with the issue of their existence is to get rid of them.

Upon arrival the two were escorted into the royal palace. The halls were clean and decorated exactly as you would expect from a royal palace. They were guided to a meeting room that had a table between an array of matching couches and seats. Already waiting was a woman in the head seat. Mavati was in a chair beside her filling her in on the situation. An Allelic male was on her other side.

"My Queen." The guard spoke, catching Cherrys attention.

"Oh, you're here. Come, take a seat." She invited the three to join her, gesturing towards the open seats.

Cisco had learned a few things about Queen Cherry already. Staff frequented the tavern where he was staying so he was able to get some gossip from them.

Supposedly she was a 25 year old vampire who had taken the throne just a few months back. Already she was working hard to support her people and had a very high approval rating from the kingdom. Certain members of the staff seemed to have a personal connection to her.

He specifically remembered Rin, the queen's personal servant, jokingly telling Cisco not to piss her off as Cherry could shatter an oak with a single punch.

"My name is Cherry, I'm the Queen of Delyra. This is my husband Faris. And I believe you have met Mavati." Cherry introduced the group.

"Cisco De Montoya, your majesty." He introduced himself with a proper bow.

"Prince Anatol of the mer Kingdom." Anatol smiled sweetly at the beautiful queen.

"And I am Oriel. A simple companion." Oriel was very polite to Queen Cherry. She knew how to act around nobility.

The three took a seat when Cherry gestured for them to do so.

"Mavati has informed me of your situation and the five we lost to replace you. Before I make any recommendations I would like to hear from you. What do you feel is our best course of action?"

Whatever Cherry thought about the matter was hidden away behind that perfectly polite smile. She was a politician. You can never quite trust those. Cherry did her best to be honest but sometimes white lies or true intentions had to be hidden.

"Ryuin has been working to recreate his sigil however there hasnt been success with his magic working here." Oriel answered.

"And there are others working on that as well." Mavati added since some of the Goetias had agreed to take a look.

"What are the chances that should we get them to their world, our five would return?" Cherry asked Mavati.

"Very high. Their souls are matching close enough they restabilized the universe by replacing each other. If they were to overcrowd their original world they ours should be sent here." Mavati answered.

"Well that changes this from two issues to one." Cherry smiled ever so slightly at having less problems.

"Aside from being unable to speak our language have you encountered any issues here?" Cherry asked Cisco.
