The Meeting
         
         
         After few hours, Aluna and remaining soldier safely arrived to Lucii Castle, tired..

She ask to General Drautos that she need to see king as soon as possible..

"I need to see King Ardyn now, this stone is danger to His faithful citizens if the Wraith ever coming back.."

Drautos nod with a big "hmmm". Tired, he told his disciple to get some rest, and he continue his quest to lead Aluna to see his King.

Aluna was brought to the Kings Court as
King Ardyn awaits for her arrival there. Carefully she enter the King Court, and bow to her Rightful King, saying

"I bring you the stone.. The stone that kill my family, the stone that feed upon my people blood and now Wraith is coming for it".

She raise her head and look to her King, and wonder why King Ardyn only smile after all what she said to the King.

The Court went silent for few second, but then King Ardyn told her not to worry about the stone, he can keep it safely as he was prepared for the stone long before The Conjunction.

"So you knew this would happen?!"

Loudly she ask to her King. The King only nod, smile and replied

"Yes I knew the stone would come after The Conjunction, and I send one of my peacekeeper to find the stone.. but know this, I do not know that you would use it to your people, and what happen to them soon after.."

He continues,

"The Star has promised, that they would send the stone to us, to keep it safe in our hand. It is fated that all monster and wraith would come running to our world when the gate are open, it is why The Star send the stone to us, to protect, and to bring peace to our land if we were to use it wisely, but I know that Drautos was too late to retrieve the stone. It is why I told Drautos to bring the stone and you here.."

Angry Aluna defied what her King said

"To protect?! To bring peace?!
How many people have died because of this damned stone?
Did The Star not tell you of my family death?"

Ardyn told her to calm, and said

"It is not the stone to blame, people kill each other because of what it can do, not the other way around. Did you not bring peace to your land before the killing? Human kill each other out of jealousy and greed.."

Aluna can only agree with what her King just said. King Ardyn told her to stay in the castle as his guest for the coming month, knowing that she has nowhere else to go, or to return.
