The Royals

Supremacy Act II

    Inside the Mage's tower, Mira closes her eyes and meditates. She cannels her magic. She sees visions. "Help!" A voice cries. She sees visions of a massive orb-shaped object rising into the sky. "Parva Luna!" A voice cries. She hears rattling chains, she sees people from the Dark Kingdom in a dark cave, raising their dirty hands. "Save us!" They cry. She sees nothing but blue flames. Within those flames stands a dark figure. She approaches it, the figure turns around, it's Tatunga with colorless eyes. Her eyes open, she clenches the black shard necklace she wears with her Mage Uniform. It's glowing begins to pulsate, as if it's talking to her.

    Walking through the halls of Castle Dark, King William Dark ignores Mira. "But my King. I swear! I saw the people of Khiross in a dark cave, locked in chains!" Mira says. "Mira, listen to me. General Klade is making sure the people get treatment. Not locking them away in a cave." William sighs. "But-" "Mira! You're starting to sound like Lyra. The CEA is not evil. They're trying to fix their mistakes." William brushes her off and walks away. You're starting to sound like Lyra. "That's it! Lyra!" Mira closes her eyes. "Lyra." She waves her hand around and opens a portal into Castle Leonard, she hops through smirking, everyone in the dining hall looks at her in shock as she's standing on the dining table. "S-sorry..." she chuckles.

    Mira stands in the throne room with Lyra and Mordo. "Queen Lyra. I believe your suspicions of Tatunga are correct." Mira confesses. "How so?" Lyra raises an eyebrow. "The dark shard... it told me that The CEA is creating a super weapon." Mira explains. "Why does this concern me?" Lyra asks. "You were right about Tatunga kidnapping the Dark People. I hear their cries. You have to believe me. King William Dark won't believe me." Mira sighs. "Do you think Tatunga has the Moon Shard?" Lyra asks. "Judging by the Dark Shard... I'd say he has the Cosmic, Moon, and Sun shards. With that kind of power, he could easily take any other shard with ease." Mira says with a concerned look upon her face.

    Mordo chuckles. "I don't think he cares about the shards." Mordo confesses. "Why not? They're the only things that could possibly stop him." Mira explains. "I think he wants some. Think about this. There's been 3 people who've stood up to Azul or called him out. That's Helios Brightstorm, Serenio Moon, and Queen Lyra Leonard. 2 of which are dead! The Rose Kingdom would never ever call him out. The Dark Kingdom is under his finger. And Kloss is still ridden with beasts. We have 1 shard, and that is Mira's. 16% of power versus 50%, who do you think will win?" Mordo rants. "Why can't we get the Kloss Shard?" Mira asks. "It's in the Devil's Temple. Deep in the Kloss Mountains, which means from Gragnar, we'd never be able to make it without something hunting us." Lyra explains. "So why don't we hunt it first?" Mira suggests. "The Queen is so graciously against killing the hellish monsters that dwell in Kloss. No matter how many lives it would save!" Mordo glares at Lyra.

    Lyra sighs. "They're living things too." She says. "Last I checked, Zombies technically aren't living." Mordo replies. "What if Tatunga decides to get all the shards? It wouldn't be hard for him and his forces. He can control all the creatures of Kloss. Tatunga would weaponize them." Mira explains. Lyra thinks for a moment. "Mordo, take her to the KCRF. I want you to take a team of hunters to Temple Luci. Then you should be safe. Mordo, bring the shard back to me." Lyra commands. "Yes, my Queen." Mordo nods nervously.

    Flying over numerous mountains and valleys, the helicopter lands at a large facility surrounded by an electric fence. A group of guards approach the helicopter and help Mira and Mordo out. "We are gracious you've reached out." A man says as he greets them. "Djinn Sat." Djinn smiles and shakes Mira and Mordo's hands. "Call me DJ." Djinn says as he walks with Mordo and Mira. "Here at the Kloss Creature Research Foundation, we capture the creatures that terrorize poor villages to understand how to defend ourselves against them. We do kill in terms of dissections and we do not domesticate them." He explains. "That's good." Mira says quietly. "As per Queen's laws: We do not trade the creatures for any profit." DJ explains.

    Lyra Leonard sits in her office, going over notes. She has a printed version of the Rose Kingdom's Trade records. The time the Rose Kingdom gave The CKA 86 billion is around the same time the Rose Queen disappeared. Using intel that she placed in the Rose Kingdom, she's managed to find all the trade routes. Her eyes widened as she saw this next one. The Dark Kingdom had traded Cosmic Rifles to the Rose Kingdom, and in exchange, the Rose Kingdom gave the Moon Kingdom poisons, one day before Princess Kailani Moon died of poisoning. She also found that the Behemoth Hide and clothing was given to the CKA, a day after the Nuclear launch. Lyra's eyes widened, should she talk to her good friend William? Should she talk to Kadance? Or should she dare to confront Tatunga? Lyra gets her things ready for her trip to the Rose Kingdom.
