A/N: Hi guys! I would like to ask you if Natalie Portman could be casted as Vasilissa (up there in the picture. She portrays Queen/ Senator Padmê Amidala, The Naboo Queen from Star Wars) It just poped out of nowhere that she perefectly illustrates Vasilissa. That fiesty hair. Stubborn but kind. Ya now? Hahaha. Tell me what you think ;)

"Safe Travels, Your Majesty." Grand Elder Elderyn bowed.

Vasilissa smiled as she mounted her stallion. "I pray that Kent be safe and sane in your temporary rule, Grand Elder."

"I believe your companion's mind is off to elsewhere. Your Majesty." Elderyn said. "I hope he becomes a worthy aid to you. My Queen."

"I would not allow ill-speaking in my kingdom. Much is expected in the The Great High Coucil." Vasilissa countered.

"Of course, Your Majesty. No offence."

"None Taken."

"Are the men ready?" Harold inquired

"Yes, Your Majesty. But I regret to inform that one cadet won't be able to accompany you." Commander John announced

"And why is that?"

"Due to the little celebration last night... I believe he has become intoxicated." The young Commander explained.

"How many men are left then?" Harold questionned as he dragged his horse outside the stables.

"5, Your Majesty. Is from the security team you have. 2 from Her Majesties' cadets and 3 for our brigade men." John reccounted "Makes 10 all in all. Your Majesty."

"Are all accounted for?"

Commander John turned around and checked the men. As he saw to it. Only 4 of the men can take horses. The other horses were either out or dead .

Slightly shivering on the thought of death. Harold gave the reigns of his horse to Commander John.

"Give this horse to one of the men. Is Vasilissa riding a stallion?" Harold inquired as both men pryed on Vasilissa's private stables

"As you can see. Yes. Your Majesty." He pushed the door. Slightly.

"My, King Harold. And Commander John. I suppose both of you are ready for the trip?" Vasilissa enthralled both men with her Godly smile.

"Y-Yes. We t-thank you for the w-warm welcome" Commander John blushed feircely. Then he composed himself as Vasilissa approached us on top of her sturdy stallion.

"Where is your horse, King Harold?" Vasilissa inquired.

"I have given it to one of my men to ride. We are less on horses now." Harold filled her in the details

"Then, I believe I should walk too." Vasilissa jumped easily off her stallion and handed it's reigns to Commander John

"I won't be comming. Your Majesty." John sighed.

"Hmm. I guess that you will be helping in releifs here?" Vasilissa asked

"Yes. And in Scottland."

"Then I send my prayers."

Both Men and Woman. Shuddered their capes and ride off as the Castle Gates open and they charged outside.

Most men had two riders. Some even three. When they reached the town square. Vasilissa clenched her fist in the sight of her town. Sighing. She felt Harold strong arms pull her up the horse and they galloped the stallion to the Forrest of the Long Forgotten Memoirs.
