Another Call

Ivan and Lyra are my characters
Lucious is Wolfie's character

Ivan POV:
      I was talking with Lucious. We were out on the balcony, the sun was high and hot, it felt as if it could and would burn anything, even Lynx's cold attitude. Lucious was in the middle of a story when Charlotte's assistant, Lyra, burst through the balcony doors. He was out of breath and in a panic, shouting my name madly. I look to him and he catches his breath as best he can in under a minute. 
"General Ivan, the queen needs your assistance!" He says quickly.
"General?" I give him a concerned look, "What….what does she need me for?" I fear I already know his next words.
"The kings of the south are sending armies to our borders and raiding any cities they find."
I look around, to Lucious, to the ground below, the blue skies, the emerald green lush of the school's garden. I sigh, knowing what I must do.
"I'll get my uniform. Tell Charlotte to make a declaration to all in the kingdom. They will stand with their military and help fight for their kingdom. Men and boys over ten must be taught to fight. The women and girls will be taught the basics of medicine and blacksmithing. We're going to need more than just our military." I say sharply.
He vanishes through a portal, I glance at Lucious. 
"Looks like the story will have to wait," I give a weak chuckle " but try to remember your place, it was quite interesting." I wave him goodbye and portal to my room, throwing my closet doors open. Looking at the suit I had dawned at every call for my kingdom. It looms over with the kingdom crest on the shoulders of the top. It's call burns through me once more.

"Looks like I can never get rid of you. Guess that isn't too bad."
