Aphmau's POV

I was playing with Molly and Dale when i heard mom call me. " Gotta go guys!" I said as i waved good bye and walked away. I went to mom and looked at her " What?" I said wondering what she wanted.

"O'Kasis is sending the prince's, some of the head nights and the king of O,Kasis's Right hand man here." My mom said as she unwrinkled her dress. " huh..who's the prince's and why are they coming here!" I said kinda stumped on what was happening. "Oh well I don't know why they are coming; they haven't told me yet...and for the prince's you know them. They were in your class when you were like six... ring a bell?" my mom said in one long paragraph.

"hmmm...maybe i'll remember them when i see them...." i said still not remembering anything. " well anyways I want you to go get ready because they should be here any time now!" mom said as she stood in front of the gate waiting.

"OK.". I went inside to get ready.

Ivery's POV

I told Aph to go get ready for our visitors. I just hope that their visit isn't a bad one. After a while a one of my guards walked up to me. "We have some visitors outside the gate." He said. "Let them in." I said preparing myself for the worst. Aphmau came up and stood next to me in her beautiful lavandar dress i got her for her birthday.

They all walked inside. There was a Man, Three guards and two out of the three prince's. " Hello. I suspect that you are Queen Ivery of Brightport?" The man asked. He had brown hair and blue eyes, along with a crooked smile. "Yes and who might you be?" I said formally, trying not to mess up or say something i would regret.

"Oh! Pardon me! I forgot to introduce myself! I am Samuel, A.K.A the kings right hand man." He said as he bowed. "well how lovely it is to meet you! May i ask why you have come to our small town?" I said still trying to be formal.

"OK. well lets go inside and talk about a few minor things." He said as he walked towards my castle. "OK" i said kinda confused. I then told Aph to go play with the prince's and i slowly went inside.

Aphmau's POV

Mom told me to go play with those prince's, so i did. I walked up to them and looked at them for a little bit. "hmmm....Ahh! Your Garroth and Zane, but were is Vlyad?"I said as i slowly started to remember them. Garroth gave me a sad lookand then looked at the ground. " He ran away from home like a baby!" Zane said not even sad about it. " huh why?!!?" I asked kinda hesitant.

"I don't no..he just left one day..*sniffle*" Garroth whimpered. I gave him a sad-for-him-look and i hugged him. "Hey. It's ok. I know how you feel. My daddy left me and mommy not to long ago, But my mommy told me that sometimes you just have to forgive that person and move on with life." I said as i stepped back.

Garroth looked up at me with a brave face and wiped his nose. "Ya. I guess your right.."He said sorta starting to smile. Zane was just staring at both of us amazed. Probably because i hugged Garroth, but i had to make him feel better. Right?

Me, Garroth and Zane played together for a while until we where called back by our parents. "Aphmau I heard my mom call in a voice with a whimper. I came." Yes mom?" I asked." I need to talk with you." She said as she looked like she was about to cry.

She sat down on the castle step. " you know i love you right?" She said with a questioning voice. "ya! of course i do!" I said without a thought in my head. She started to cry a little." Whats wrong?" I asked.

She rubbed her head and started to talk again. " They said that they came here to bring a peace treaty to our land...to prevent war." She said as she rubbed her eyes. "THATS GREAT MOM!" I said happy to know that no war would come. " But they wanted one last request for the treaty to be permanent...they wanted you..." She started to cry. "When i tried to tell them no they said that they would destroy Brightport and kill all of our citizens... I didn't know what to do." she said as she tried to wipe her tears away but more just kept coming. " I told them that i would talk with you." mom tried to hide her tears from me.

I looked at her. " Let me go." I said bravely. " Your the strongest little girl i know!" She said as she gave me a warm hug. I started to cry a little. " Will i see you again?" I asked. " I don't know"
