Mare, Lulona, Farley and I made our war to the council room. We could already see the war ships of the Nortain fleet. I could see the black and red from their flags. 

As we sat down, Farley sent a transmission to the Nortain fleet. 

"Why are we doing this?" Mare asked. 

"Because we are out-numbered, there is no point in fighting. There are innocents that will die if we don't try to settle this peacefully." Farely said. 

"Settle this? No- if we don't surrender thousands will die." I said. 

The transmission was accepted and we were able to listen to Maven himself. 

"My my, I never thought I would get a transmission from the Red Queen herself." A voice full of smug came through. 

"King Maven, we have business to discuss." I said coldly. 

"Right to the point I see." He laughed. It wasn't a laugh of delight, but more of something sinister. 

"You are an hour away, its too late for us to do anything to stop you. Is there a way to do.......everything........without the innocents of Althern getting hurt?" Asked Lulona. 

"I don't want much, just the full surrender of Althern." I heard him say. 

"Fine." Lulona said. 

"I want to hear it from the Queen herself." He smugly said. 

I sighed and swallowed the rest of my pride, "I, Queen Amrya of Althern sur-" 

"She doesn't have to do anything." Mare sneered. 

"Hello Mare, long time no see." He said, "And I won't promise the Althern people will be safe unless I hear that they have surredered." 

"We surrender." I spit out. 

"It wasn't that hard was it?" He smugly said. 

"How do I know that you won't harm anyone?" I asked. 

"I always keep my promises, you can ask Mare herself." He answered. 

I looked over at Mare, she nodded 'yes' at me. 

"Then we are at an agreement then?" I asked. 

"I suppose we are Your Majesty." He said, "I'll see you soon Little Lighting Girl"

As looked at the ocean seeing the Nortain fleet get closer and closer with each passing second. 

"Your Majesty!" General Lulona burst in. 

"What?" I asked. 

"There's an aircraft, its small and if we leave now, you have a chance to escape." She said, and started to drag me to the landing pad.
