Hiraeth pov
Once we turn back into our human form, the crowd of villagers cheer. The elder Imu looks at the both of us and says
"Welcome, your magesties"
The other elders get up and together they get on their knees and bow before us. The villagers do the same and I shake my hand towards the elders while saying
"No no! That's not necessary, your both our elders. It would be inappropriate to make you bow before us"
The elders obey and get up. Imu looks at the crowd and says
"I present to you your King Xerxes and Queen Hiraeth, The Conquerers!"
The crowd cheers and instrument players play their instruments while the crowd starts to dance and merchants give out food and drinks to celebrate. Xerxes comes up to me and says
"You did amazing."
I smile at him and say
"It felt amazing"
He smiles and kisses my forehead. He turns to the elders who are sitting and laughing with each other. We both approach them and Xerxes says
"Elders? Can we speak to you for a moment?"
They nod and lead us to the main temple where all meetings are discussed. I look at Noal and Miza who are, thankfully, looking back at me with a stare asking them to come with us. They obey and come to the temple with us. Once we enter the temple, an elder who's name I don't know yet, closes the door and locks it. We take a seat at the table that's in the middle of the room and the elder Imu looks at the both of us and says
"Let me present to you the three other elders, this to my right..."
He points to his right to reveal the woman who closed the door. She had short black hair and very glowing famed skin, she is tall and lean and is actually very pretty. Imu finishes
"Is Ni'alla, my wife"
I smile at her and she smiles at me. Imu points to his left and says
"This is Santo"
To his left, a tamed man with tribal tattoos spreading across his face and a tall figure smiles at the both of us as we smile back. And then Imu points right across from me and says
"This is Ilani"
Ilani smiles at us and we smile back. Ni'alla says
"You said you wanted to discuss something with us?"
I say
"Yes we did, it's about a friend of ours. His name is David. He works with my captor, Mr. Cain but he was secretly a friend of Xerxes for years. He heard that we weren't in Greece and wanted to meet us to talk to us about something that couldn't be discussed on the phone."
The elders nod and Xerxes says
"I know you may have your suspicions on him but I have known him for years and despite being able to on multiple occasions, has Denver betrayed me."
The elder Ni'alla says
"Well your magesties, you are our rulers. Whatever you would like, we will agree too"
I laugh a bit and the elders look at me shocked. I regain my composure and say happily
"Forgive my outburst but there isn't any need for all these formalities. You are older then us, our elders. I just hope we can all be friends"
I send them a smile and they smile in return. Ni'alla and says
"You are humble. You will make an excellent Queen to your planet."
I look at Xerxes and he says
"Our planet?"
Imu says
"Well it's the prophecy, that you will one day be reunited with your kingdom until the other six reunite with you both, then you will come back and add order to the world under the command of God."
I look at her and ask
"Just to be clear. Planet earth isn't the only planet God created?"
She nods and says
"Exactly, there are other planets in other galaxies that are even more advanced then us"
I nod and say
"Oh I understand now"
Santo says
"We need to start with your training. Even though you both have pretty good control, you need to learn fighting skills with weapons"
Xerxes nods and says
"Completely understandable. When do we start?"
He smirks and says
"Now"
