(Keiko's Lesson)


*January 13th, 1907*

*Kingdom of Ix*

*Queen Zixi's Palace*

Dorothy, Flynn, and Betsy stood in front of Keiko, who had her hand on her hips rather impatiently.

"Come along! Queen Zixi is waiting for us, and once we're done with the meeting, I'll deal with you guys." Keiko commanded the trio while she turned around and walked toward the throne room, leaving Dorothy and Betsy curious about who she was.

"I wonder who she was, probably a friend of Flynn or something.." Dorothy curiously thought to herself as she, Betsy, and Flynn followed Keiko.

The gang continued walking until they reached the throne room of Queen Zixi.

It was a lavish, beautiful, and imperial room that had plenty of emeralds, jewelry, and other such gems, and the throne, which stood center in the room, had a blue color to it.

"Good Afternoon, Flynn and Keiko. It seems you've brought the guests of honor, Dorothy Gale and Betsy Bobbin of Kansas." Queen Zixi greeted the gang, smiling warmly at them while everyone bowed.

"Good Afternoon, Your Majesty. We've brought Dorothy here to help us in our mission." Keiko responded in a formal voice, slowly raising her head to face Queen Zixi.

After hearing this, Queen Zixi was pleased with those words, gently motioning her hands for everyone to face her which they did.

"Dorothy Gale. It's a pleasure to see you again. I've heard about your fight with Dion, the terrible creation from the Nome Kingdom. You've done marvelously and I wanted to congratulate you on that." Queen Zixi spoke to Dorothy with a warm smile, getting up from her throne as she said those words.

"Thank you, your majesty. I wouldn't have done it without the assistance of my friends and their belief in me." Dorothy responded, looking at her with a proud look on her face.

"And how correct you are, Dorothy. You've shown how good of a fighter you were." Queen Zixi responded as she turned her direction to the door, located on the left side of the room.

Soon after, Queen Zixi walked toward the door before turning back around to face the gang.

"Follow me, let's talk more in my study room, it's more suitable there." Queen Zixi ordered the gang, motioning her hand for them to follow her while the gang did just that.

After this, Dorothy and the others followed Queen Zixi to her study room while everyone sat down on the couches.

The study room appeared to resemble an office, with a warm and cozy aesthetic.

"Your majesty, how are you going to deal with my sister, Zorya? She intends to turn the world into darkness and we must put a stop to her before it's too late." Flynn asked Queen Zixi, waiting for an answer until Queen Zixi spoke up.

"First of all, you and the others must prepare before charging into wherever Zorya might be. We don't know what she might have up her sleeve, so I'm advising you and the others to focus on honing your technique and skills." Queen Zixi responded to Flynn, looking at Dorothy and Keiko while the trio nodded understandably.

Soon after, Keiko began to speak up.

"I was thinking of this as well. Rushing into a battle just won't work out for us, so I'm willing to take your advice, Your Majesty." Keiko responded to Queen Zixi, agreeing with her statement while Flynn, Betsy, and Dorothy nodded in agreement as well.

"That would be for the best, and once our conversation is done, we can get started right away." Flynn chimed into the conversation while all of this pleased Queen Zixi.
