~Myeong-Jun~
(Don't question the title...)
"Agreed. The trip to here was quite a long one." Nimbus — Breeze Tribe's King, she remembered — said, as he made Breeze Tribe's entrance.
Queen Pure did not make an arrival. Thank the gods. That would be complete chaos. The queen was the type to whine about every little thing. She also would not be able to shut her mouth when the topic was about herself, or her accomplishments. Poor Nimbus. Poor... strangely-named kids of theirs.
Breeze Tribe was bound to be silent this meeting. That would most likely be the only major-ish few words King Nimbus would say.
The girl swung her long braid off her shoulder. She was one one who made that loud squeak. She was Queen Petal, from Leaf Tribe. Queen Fame, also from Leaf Tribe, but from Flame Tribe descent, stalked in afterwards, with her head held up high. Jewels were piled on both of their bodies. The two held hands as they came in.
'Queen' Edge's eyes were locked on their unmoving hands. No one had seen... whatever-his-name-was, the king of Droplet Tribe. Rumor had it that whatever-his-name-was, and that wimpy servant, Hidden, were related.
Then, fire suddenly popped up, as King Twist and Spark entered the area. They were, once again, trying to put on the most stunning performance they could.
"Greetings," King Spark said—though she had to admit it sounded strange since he was quite old.
"Hey Dad," Queen Fame said to the both of them nonchalantly as if this were just a small family get-together.
Then, the one person in this room who wore the title of 'Queen,' but wasn't, clapped her hands to get everyone's attention.
"You all can take a seat. I know it was probably a long journey," She spoke in a clear tone; this tone only meant for other tribes.
Myeong-Jun smiled a little. If she would suddenly start shouting, and acting out of place, it would make this 'queen' look horrible. However, at the same time, it may make her leaders look bad as well...

Leaf Tribe had calmed down — Well, except for the two weirdos from whom they got the food from — after Queen Petal's rise to the throne. She was a good ruler. A bit air-headed at times, but much better than what her brother would have been. Queen Fame helped balance out her silliness, and the two made Leaf Tribe strong again.
The same couldn't be said for Droplet Tribe; no matter how hard that 'queen' tried to make it seem.
"So... Queen Edge?" Queen Fame asked.
"Yes?"
She looked slightly surprised — like she wasn't the one who set this up.
"Why did you call us here?"
"Oh, yes, yes," She nodded and smiled. "My top advisor, and fantastic friend, Ji-ho, has passed away. However, his sister has joined us!"
Someone murmured something about her king. Yet, Queen Edge never addressed the matter. That king was most likely dead right now.
Queen Edge looked over to Myeong-Jun. She gave an encouraging smile.
Myeong-Jun, in response, rolled her eyes. She sat there, and eyed the 'queen'. This was irritating.
Kawasumi, who seemed to have noticed her, was looking at her.
Petal — Queen Petal, turned over to look at Myeong-Jun. She sighed a grumble at the effort. Her bored eyes lingered over at her. The young queen wanted excitement. Hopefully not Edge's kind of excitement.
