"Have you heard of the Great High Priestess Aphmau of Phoenix Drop ? Lord Zane?" Head Guard Time said

"Yes. I have heard Great things about The High Priestess." Lord Zane said while gathering his things

"Well I heard that Garroth is her new head guard! Time said

"Garroth, Garroth Ro-Meave! I never expected him to take on a guard position when he could be lord." Zane said nervously

"Yeah. Ever since her older sister, ah. I forget he name, ran away I expected him to take control of Phoenix Drop!" Time said

"I wonder why he hasn't............" Zane wondered to himself. He always heard great things about The High Priestess Aphmau. Why she chooses to have someone protect her. Is she trying to get close to Okasis........No one trusted her. She was the High Priestess for the Lord Isaac Faith. Hmmmm.

"Lord Zane" Alexis came running in breathing hard.

"Take a breath. Then tell me whats going on." Zane said

Alexis took a deep breath as she said "There are Phoenix Drop ships at the Dock."

"WHY! WHAT! Who is on them." Zane said nervously as he picked up his sword.

Phoenix Drop was never good. They were Dangerous, Power hungry and could take out

a Village like O'khasis in a sweep.

"No one good. High Priestess Aphmau, Sir Garroth, and Lady Katelyn." Alexis said

"Why is the High Priestess here, Why did she bring her most powerful guards from the Jury of 9!" Zane said almost shouting

Katelyn the fire fist and Garroth the Protector. The most Elite guards from the Jury of 9. A group of powerful people made to protect The Lord of Phoenix Drop. But why did they come with the High Priestess.

"Well Let's greet them." Zane said carefully

They made their way down the path to the Docks where High Priestess Aphmau in her black cape and a purple shirt with a black cross on it. Her pants were black and Garroth the Protector was standing back with Blue chainmail armor with a black cross on it. Katelyn the Fire Fist was standing beside him with her light blue chainmail armor with a black cross on it.

"Hello High Priestess Aphmau. Glad to see you in O'khasis." He said as he kissed her hand.

"HEY. She doesn't like that. Stop making moves on her or I will have you arrested." Garroth the Protector said with authority

"Thank you Garroth. Now, LORD Zane. You should understand that you need to respect me. I can destroy your village with a snap of my Fingers." High Priestess Aphmau said taking her hand back nearly slapping Zane.

"HEY. I will respect you if you respect my lord. He will not be undermined here." Alexis said seriously.

Katelyn the Fire Fist took her Fire Fists and put them up too Alexiss neck and said

"Respect the High Priestess, or I will kill you and your precious Lord."

"Alexis! Respect the High Priestess! Now, I am sorry for my guards actions. What can O'khasis do for you." Zane said while bowing.

"Ah. I am here on a joyous occasion, To marry your Donna and Logan" High Priestess Aphmau said happily

"Oh! Thank you. We were having trouble finding a priest or Priestess." Time said.

"Know if you don't mind we are going to relax in our ship. Please try to not be noisy. I will send Laurence the Knight to help you prepare for the wedding." High Priestess Aphmau said

She has 3 of the highest ranked guards with her. Why? Just for a wedding! I don't trust them. Especially High Priestess Aphmau. She tends to be rash.

"Hello, LORD Zane, High Priestess Aphmau asked me to help you prepare for the wedding and to make sure everything is JUST right for your little Donna and Logan." Laurence The Knight said

"Yeah. Thank you. You can just call me Lord, Zane, or Lord Zane. Whatever works for you." Zane said carefully

"I will call you Zane. You can call me Laurence. But make sure to NEVER call Aphmau, just Aphmau. Garroth the Protector, or Katelyn the Fire Fist will arrest you on the spot." Laurence said while wiping of the Dirt from his Dark green armor which also had a Black cross on it.

"What brings you to the small village of O'khasis? It can't just be the Wedding? The High Priestess Aphmau wouldn't come with 3 Jury of 9 Guards to preside over a small villages wedding? Would she? What is going on? Tell me before I send you out of my Village." Zane said carefully but with authority.

"Now, Now, Don't get Hasty here with us. But you're slightly right. We are not here just Wedding. But I am not telling you what other things we are here for. Remember, Even I could have you executed with a simple white lies." Laurence said looking at his sword.

"You wouldn't dare. I can't have you hurting my village. Please leave at once. We can find another Priest." Zane said appalled at Laurence's tone.

Laurence held Zane's Chin up to his face and whispered with a harsh tone

"Now, Now, Don't be hasty with me. I could destroy you right here and now. Let us stay here, for your own life and your precious village safety."

He dropped Zane's head and walked the rest of the way to town by himself.

"Lord Zane! Lord Zane! Are you alright! You look pale. Like you've seen a ghost!" Time said running towards him.

"Make our guests at home. There in power so we need to respect them." Zane said while Laurence was giving him a look of don't tell anyone.

"What, Don't we want them out of here?" Time said surprised

"We do. Just respect them till they go." Zane said carefully

"Yes. I will set up one of our extra houses for them." Time said.

"Hey, The High Priestess's Group could have our house, It's the biggest, and That Laurence over there is VERY Nice to little baby Alexis." Dale another one of the Guards said

"Good. Good. Just Great. Thank you Dale. Will you help Time with greeting our guests. They've had a long journey from Phoenix Drop." Zane said heading Towards town.

"Yes m'lord." Dale and Time said together.

As Zane headed into town, Everyone was in High spirits, Laurence was wooing the Ladies, impressing the Guys and playing with the Children. Everyone loved Laurence. His brown hair flowing over his forehead, Almost touching his green icy eyes, making every lady in love with him. It was disgusting. How a person so easy to Violence a minute ago is now wooing Zane's people.

He took to the Plaza to go make sure Donna and Logan were ok with all of this. He turned the corner into the Plaza and saw someone. Someone who he didn't like. The Crazy Cat lady who always blamed Zane for whenever her cats turned huge.

'"She is one of the most insensitive Animals actives I have ever seen. She only likes cats and HATES dogs. Hmph" Kiki an animal lover with red hair said to Zane.

"She's only here for a couple of days, just until Donna gets Married."Zane said

"Your right. Have you met the High Priestess Aphmau yet? She's very nice. Brendan seems taken with her." Kiki said while Zane spun on his heal to see, Aphmau, Garroth and Katelyn behind him.

"Hello Zane. We heard you talk to Laurence and took a hint." Garroth the Protector said.

"To leave!" Zane said hopeful.

"No, Never We would never leave until this wedding is finished. Baby Alec is very cute." High Priestess Aphmau said.

"Also she looks powerful!" High Priestess Aphmau whispered in a Harsh tone.

He took a deep breath and sighed. He couldn't get rid if them. If he tried force Then......That would be bad. He will have to deal with them on his own time.
