Coronation Day

Actress: Naya Rivera

"HEY, SIS!" Aquarius pounded on Scorpio's door.

Scorpio angrily opened the door. She was obviously tired, her dark hair frizzier than usual and had dark circles under her eyes. "What do you want?"

"There's a soldier here from Commetes, he says he brings a message," Aquarius informed her.

"And you couldn't have told me that without shouting through the door?" Scorpio inquired.

"I mean I could've, but what type of brother would I be then?" Aquarius shrugged in return.

"Tell this soldier he will have to wait. I must get ready to be queen." Scorpio steppes back into her room before being stopped by her brother.

"He says it's urgent. He says it could be the end of Pax Universum," Aquarius warned.

Scorpio huffed and went to change into something more ladylike. Pax Universum, what Aquarius had mentioned, was a state of peace between all three kingdoms. The three kingdoms made a treaty against attacking one another. Commetes and Solis were not keen of breaking this treaty. Flammae, on the other hand, had other plans.

Scorpio aggressively opened the door to reveal her in a pink dress, matching heels, and her hair tamed down. "This better be important, baby bro."

"We're only a year a part," Aquarius reminded her.

"Best year of my life," grumbled Scorpio, leaving Aquarius looking slightly offended.

The two kept walking until they reached the throne room, where they each sat down in their respective throne. Scorpio's was much larger, since it represented her being ruler. Aquarius' was smaller and on her right. A soldier bowed before the two thrones.

"State your name." Scorpio demanded.

"Capricorn Copernicus, your majesty," Capricorn bowed again.

"And what is this important business?" Scorpio snapped at him.

"A message. My soldiers and I got wind that the kingdom of Flammae we're collecting the eldest children of their household to fight in a war. To discuss this, we invite you to a dinner party tomorrow night. You may stay however many nights you wish, your majesty," Capricorn informed her.

Scorpio furrowed her eyebrows and glanced at her brother, who had a look of absolute horror written across his face. She couldn't blame him. What type of psychopath would force children to fight in a war? Scorpio looked back down at the soldier.

"May I take whomever I wish?" Scorpio questioned.

"Yes, your majesty," Capricorn promised.

Scorpio had a slight smile. "In that case, I accept. Aquarius, we're going to a dinner party. Pack your stuff. And wear something nice."

Scorpio thought for another minute. Should she bring Cancer, her friend? No, Cancer should watch over the kingdom while they are gone. They still would need protection though. Leona Solis would be the best protection she could get.

"I will also bring Leona," Scorpio announced. "For our protection. Aquarius, please inform her of this."

Aquarius nodded and hopped off the throne. He ran through the palace halls to find Leona. Scorpio glanced back down at Capricorn.

"Will you be staying for the coronation?" Scorpio asked him.

"I believe I will be meeting the Queen and King of Commetes there," Capricorn nodded.
