Life Novel, Part 6

When we were making our way to the Castle of Mistral, Emerald asked, "So, this Queen, who is she?" "You might've met her when she was fighting you-know-who," I said, trying not to say the name. Mercury spoke out, "Oh yeah, she was always with herself, is that normal for her?" "Yes, she actually needs a lot of space and time because she is running an entire world by herself, well, used to, now she is trusting me, Roman, her king, and hopefully you guys because she needs the help bad," I tell them. Emerald asked, "What is this world inspired by?" "You might want to get an entire map of this place if you want to know where everything is at because this entire world is based on the map of Skyrim," I explained, "It was her idea and we just rolled with it." "So, what powers do you all have?" asked Mercury. I stopped, "Why do you ask?" "Something must've happened to you and now you can talk like it's no big deal," said Emerald, "What we've known from you, you never spoken a word, but now, you are talking like everyone else here." "Well, I will tell you everything once everything is cleared up with her."

We finally made it to the castle, walked inside, and finally into the throne room where Lady Akari and King Ulquiorra resides, I kneeled down, the 2 followed suit, I hear her voice, "Neo, who are your new friends?" "You met them, well, sort of, you were always by yourself," I said, "This is Emerald, and he is Mercury." "Ah, another job well done from an elemental that was sent by Ulquiorra, she is within the squad that Roman leads," I hear her say. Emerald asked, "Wait, is this true that you redeem people?" "Yes, though Roman is still in the process, I hope you guys are not going to be like him," she said to them. Mercury said shakily, "We will try to." "Do not worry about any torture stories that you may have heard," said Ulquiorra, "If there were any, I can assure you guys were told so many false rumors." "By the way, Miss Akari, about that guy you throw a fireball at," I hear Mercury say, "Right behind someone's back, I did something to keep your good image clean, I made sure that he did not bother you anymore." "It's true, I've seen him do it," said Emerald. I looked at her, she was happy that someone did that, "Well, forget about me testing you guys, since you told me on what you did to defend my very good record of avoiding getting assumptions that are not true. You guys actually passed." "For real?" asked Emerald, "Your tests are really that simple?" "Well, not so fast, Your Highness," I tell her.

"Excuse us?" said Ulquiorra, raised his voice like I did something wrong. Akari stood up, "Stand up, Neo, and tell me what you mean by that?" "There is something going that you should be aware, I thought that I would keep you in the dark so I could protect you from any real danger coming your way," I started, "I went to Logan for starters, then I went to Abraham Lincoln so I could get some more information, I needed the information that I need so I could tell you what is going on." She sits down, "Go on." "It's about Ember Rose, your eldest child," I said to her. The looks I got were not I was expecting, Ulquiorra's face was the look of a worried father, and her's was the worst face of a mother who is very protective of her children, I can tell that she has put a lot of faith and hope on Ember Rose. It was pure silence all around, I looked around, all random conversations just stopped when I said Ember Rose's name, I saw Logan and Janus giving me a nod to continue, I sighed, "I was told that she was forced to break up with Morris but she did it to protect him, whatever situation that she is in, she's doing it to protect you. You are vital to us, we all know what your true power is." "That we do not know," said Janus. I tell him, "But, I was told that by Honest Abe. We all should know what you can control." "What is that?" she asked. Logan tells her, "Maybe after we handle what Ember is dealing with, one thing at a time."

She nods, knowing that for sure that if she starts on something else than what she needs to do previously, she drops it and starts something new, it is the most biggest flaw of hers. She is trying too much but she can not help herself from doing it, I know I got it from her. "Do you know where Fort Dawnguard is?" I asked. She was confused, "I haven't gotten that far yet." "Go quick because I think what is about to go down is somewhere there and we need to act right away or wait to find out on what we are dealing with," I said to her. Emerald was looking at me like I just spoke in another language, "You are sure at the top of your game." "You guys have to be ready," I tell them, "I may need your help. Logan, where is Princey?" "Right here," said Princey. I tell him, "I need you to stay here and tell her that we are going without her." "Do you think that I can multiply? That's Patton," said Princey. Ulquiorra said, "But he has his powers, you do not." "Ah, hell, I had forgotten that, ugh, fine," he gave in. "You are doing this for the sake of her," I tell him. He shutted up, I looked at Remus, "Ready?" "Yep," said all the sides, minus Roman. We made our way to where Riften would do, Virgil apparently remembers on where it is very well, "Well, she plays it everytime she is there at Thomas's place so it is engraved into my head."
