The gems: Gen 1 (original version)

Chapter 7

But the only problem was, this scroll had a purple ribbon, and, on top of that, there wasn't a stamp on it...

She picked up the scroll, it was very warm. It also had some dust on it.

The ribbon was very tight, and it smelled like smoke.

Was it a letter from the rakitsels? Or maybe Galat, but possibly Grover.

No type of good would send a scroll like this. They were always clean, and had red ribbon. Plus, they always had a green stamp. Green symbols good, and the stamp always had the being's birth planet on it. The red symbols fanciness, a symbol that it was made with love, and care.

"Maybe Marab would know something about the scroll" she thought. "Scrolls from good are never dirty or smelly. They always have that loose red ribbon, and that green stamp of course.

She looked closer. A crow teeth mark! Crows symbol evil on her planet, nobody would ever use a crow to deliver to her. Unless they were evil of course.

She walked downstairs to the chamber.

Tala looked over "hey, the others are asleep. Is that a letter from Grover?"

"How would you know?"

"Because, Grover is always aggressive, the knot is really tight. Plus, purple symbols Galat. But I know it's him because he is always forgetting to stamp them, and that crow tooth mark? Yeah that's Grover for sure."

"Oh, okay, thanks. I was going to ask marab if he recognized this letter. It was sitting on my desk, I didn't know who sent it."

"Oh, maybe he sent it for us, give it here."

"No, I'll read it, it was on my desk after all."

Auphora cut off the tie and read the scroll.

"Dear Auphora,

I know you took marab, tala, and Hala. So, I had taken your three people in exchange for mine. But of course, you took them back.

Since your being so stubborn, we will be raiding you 6 in the morning SHARP. War will be declared, until you give me back my people.

Have a wretched day,

Grover"

Auphora threw the scroll in her drawer

"You wanna play that game? I'll give you that game.."

Auphora wrote a scroll

"Dear guards,

It's Auphora, Grover is declaring war at 6 am SHARP tomorrow morning. I want you up at 5 am about halfway to their side. When they come get ready to attack them and set off the alarm.

I want you on high alert mode starting NOW. If any rakitsels get in, send them to my chamber.

Love,
Auphora"

She scrolled up the scroll and tied it with a red ribbon, and stamped it. Then she called a dove to deliver the scroll.

Auphora pulled out a tape recorder and placed it in her pocket. Slowly walking downstairs.

"Hey, tell me some stuff about yourself."

"I'm marab, an evil entity, a rakitsel. Rakitsels are ruled by Grover."

"Oh ok, and Grover is a nasty being right?"

She gave a stern look.

"Yes he's a nasty little liar. I hate Grover and I hope he doesn't get your gems, that's what he's planning to do."

She turned to tala and Hala

"Tala what do you think?"

"Well, Grover is very so rude, considering the fact that he hasn't sent anything for us."

"Hala?"

"Grover needs to be punished, but he is clearly weak if he can't even get into a chamber."

Auphora clicked the recorder off saving the recording. Then she walked upstairs.

She plopped down into her chair and clicked it to listen

"Hey, tell me some stuff about yourself.

I'm marab, an evil entity, a rakitsel. Rakitsels are ruled by Grover.

Oh ok, and Grover is a nasty being right?

Yes he's a nasty little liar. I hate Grover and I hope he doesn't get your gems, that's what he's planning to do.

Tala what do you think?

Well, Grover is very so rude, considering the fact that he hasn't sent anything for us.

Hala?

Grover needs to be punished, but he is clearly weak if he can't even get into a chamber."

The recording was perfect! She hid it in her side pocket and opened her drawer.

Ah yes, the letters from the doves and phoenixes that were Locked up. Grover had taken more than her, and he clearly had these for a long time.

She picked one up, it looked like he had opened it, did he open this letter?
