Roscuroe (Old)

Chapter 29

It was a long flight to Ottawa, about four hours, but it felt long for Roscuroe as he tried to sleep but couldn't. He couldn't stop thinking about the battle, mostly his mother's death. Roscuroe believe he could have saved her as she died just a minute before the battle ended, but it was too late to do anything now as she was already dead and buried. He wore her bandanna around his neck as he didn't need it on at the moment, he planned on keeping it in memory of her during the short time Roscuroe knew her. Once they landed, they were escorted off the plane and into another van with more bodyguards around it. Roscuroe felt a bit weird around these humans that were originally against his kind, but glad that they didn't try to kill him.
"Is this everyone?" The driver of the van asked as everyone got in.
"Everyone except for Harley and Conifer, they didn't come." Max replied before Roscuroe could. Everyone remained silent for most of the ride, Roscuroe stared down at his feet and continued to dwell on everything while Hannah, who was sitting beside him in the back, stared out the window. She had never seen a city before, well, one with very tall buildings and lots of people. When Roscuroe looked out of the window, he saw a river with some strange green roofed building with a tall clock tower on the hill beside it. After another few minutes, the van stopped and Roscuroe looked out of the window again. They were surrounded by many loud humans with cameras and microphones. Roscuroe put his bandanna on and hood up, he didn't really want his photo taken. After quickly following the driver inside, he was met with more humans that were almost the same as the ones outside, just without cameras. All the people around was making Roscuroe very nervous, he was worried that they would all turn on him at any given moment now that it was only him and his crew of seven. Not every human would've wanted Lizens to win that battle in Edmonton, and surely not become the new 'superior' race. As they went further inside, Roscuroe took off his hood and looked around. The inside of the building had old stonework pillars and a nineteenth century feel to it, Roscuroe knew that this must be a very old and special building if the humans kept it around for that long. He was too distracted by all the artwork and beauty of the building to even hear the driver, who was leading them to where they needed to go.
"This place is amazing." Roscuroe whispered to himself.
"Yeah, very interesting I bet as well, it's called the 'Parliament' I think and humans use it to verbally fight over stuff." Hannah spoke rather loudly in response to Roscuroe's whisper.
"Hannah, I get that you are excited, but can you be not so loud please?" Roscuroe asked Hannah as they entered a fairly large room.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to be that loud." Hannah apologized as Roscuroe glanced around the room. It had a mostly circular shape with many seats surrounding it with one big seat against the flat wall with smaller ones around it. It still had the nineteenth century feel to it.
"Your seats have your names on them." The driver told them as they entered further into the room. Roscuroe noticed three other Lizens at the other end of the room from them. Roscuroe's group were all sitting near the front in the middle. Each seat had a little ledge that acted like a table and each one had a glass of water on it and a microphone. Jax dropped his and Max exclaimed "Jax! Now it looks like I made a mess all over myself!"
"Hey, at least I didn't get it on this thing!" Jax responded.
Roscuroe smiled a bit from hearing them argue, it made him happy for some reason. After about thirty minutes, more Lizens arrived, each from different places in the country and each had a gang. Not long after everyone arrived, some humans arrived at the front seats and turned on the microphone system.
"Greetings everyone, I am Prime Minister Sanguine, and we are here to discuss everything that has happened in my country in the past few days."
