Hydrian Galaxy

Chapter 7: Meetings

As Ally and Soldierson's relationship begins developing, a massive summit is called to gather at Patchy's Castle. The leaders from each Province of The Hydra Empire meet the two unlikely heroes as a harsh discussion takes place. After this event, Patchy talks to Ally.

Ally's eyes fluttered as she awoke to the sound of the church bells ringing. She was in her chambers although she was just with Soldierson. She felt a warm hand hugging her. Its bandaged hands made Ally recognize that it was Soldierson. She felt cozy and comfortable, knowing that Soldierson was okay. She smiled and placed her hand over his. Suddenly, she heard knocking on her door. As she was about to get up from her bed, she heard Soldierson reply "I'll get the door, don't worry."

He rose up from the bed and he opened the door. The soldier, having a confused expression, asked "Is Ally here, I've come to give an announcement."

"I'm her boy-" Soldierson stopped as he felt a sharp pain on his back

"Yes, I'm here, what did you need to tell me?" She inquired

"Well, since you're both here." The soldier continued, "There has been a summit meeting at King Patchy's palace scheduled later this afternoon, King Patchy hopes he can count on your attendance."

"Of course, it'd be our pleasure." They said in unison

He saluted, and walked away after looking at them one more time. As Soldierson closed the door, he looked at Ally.

"What was that for?" He whispered

"You're not supposed to answer the door, no one can know about us."

"What's the big deal?"

"People could start up a scandal and try to hurt us."

"To hell with them, just a bunch of unhappy bastards."

"Suit yourself." Ally continued, "I'm going to get dressed for the Summit, you should as well."

"Alright, I'll meet you there." Soldierson replied as he kissed Ally on the cheek.

He opened the door and began walking to his chambers, which was on the other side of the entire building.

She turned around to her outfit choices, she had many dresses but, she didn't feel that any of them would be presentable for the summit.

It was too late to get a dress from a store, or make one from scratch. She thought about maybe borrowing one from one of her friends but, she realized that people would notice the quality difference. Ally paced around her house frantically, hoping to have an idea that would work. She opened her closets and clothes piles filled the room as she tried to find a perfect combination. Suddenly, she paused as she saw a small box that was hidden beneath all the clothes. She eyed it as she hadn't seen it before. She slowly opened it as she saw a sparkly navy dress with a stunning pearl necklace. She realized that it was her dress that she had used when she had used it when she danced with Jackal. She looked at the dress, and saw some of the color had faded. She decided to clean it, place some dye that she had in her house, and then wear it in front of a mirror.

She took the dress and began to wash it to clean away the dust and smudges that had been made from not being used for a long duration of time. She hummed to herself as she smiled as she saw the smudges clearing. She had remembered that her mother had given her the dress and told her that if she was ever gone, to wear the dress to always remember her love. She began using a dye kit that she had bought after she had learned from a seamstress. Suddenly, she decided to dye it in a light blue dress. She had always preferred a light blue dress since she had seen her mother's picture of her in her wedding dress. Her smile and dress attracted everyone, as she saw that the picture displayed dozens of people looking at her with awe and envy. As she began dying the silk dress, the shiny new dye fascinated Ally's eyes as they blinked in shock.
