Chapter 450: Mostly

"That is a pretty serious position to take. I don't mean this isn't a serious matter, but it is pretty extreme." Gil was a little worried that Scylla would be unhappy about him saying this so he got slightly worried.

"To my king, it is very serious. More so than most people would think." Scylla was still very serious but Walker could see a slight softness around her eyes. He could tell there was more to it than what she was letting on. 

"Can I ask why king Rorick would be so strict with this species in particular?" Walker knew he was starting to pry. He had just told himself he would not be doing this but he had a strange feeling that it would be something important to the negotiations later.

"Didn't you meet the future queen of Ordist?" Scylla blinked, she had not expected them to be this lost after their visit.

"Future queen? I thought that there was no queen?" Remey was sure that they had not met a queen at all and believed that the demi-human kingdom was still waiting for one.

"I thought you all had met her. Let me ask you this first, what characteristics does our king have?" Scylla was waiting for an answer.

"He has lion traits. It is like the pictures on the walls. I believe it is long passed down his bloodline." Su and Walker both agreed on this. They had carefully studied the murals on the coliseum walls.

"That is correct. To be more specific it is a monster trait shared with the golden lion. They are powerful monsters thought to be extinct before our first king appeared and brought our kingdom together." Scylla made a point to emphasize this part. "The soon to be queen shares the thought to be extinct traits that our kings' bloodline has. Future queen Rosalia has the white hair and light elemental affinity of a unicorn." 

The others stopped for a moment. They couldn't believe that this was possible. It was such a powerful connection between them that they did not know was even there until now. "That is amazing. Your kingdom must have already known that there were still unicorns somewhere then, right" Remey was very excited by this.

"We had hopes that it was the case. There were times when an extinct monster or animal would still have demi-human counter parts. But sometimes they would be discovered to still be in existence. We can not travel the largest oceans to check the entire world. We could never know the truth." Scylla lamented the lack of ability to travel and discover the entire world, but she knew that having that unknown mystery was better than knowing everything.

The group got over their shock and continued walking toward the elf city. They had learned a lot in the past few moments. The party specifically felt a little disappointed at not meeting this future queen. "I am curious general Scylla. Why is she just the future queen? Has the wedding date not been set yet?" Su was curious if the party should be setting themselves up as guests for a wedding. It was definitely an important event to attend, especially since they had personally met with king Rorick before.

"The reason is not that complicated. King Rorick is the most powerful of all in our kingdom. He has achieved a great many things compared to past kings in this respect but he has a goal to first accomplish. He wishes to remove the fear the people have faced for generations before he is to offer himself to the one he loves. He is putting the people first. It is honorable." 

"I believe the young king must be very respectable. I wish him the best in his goals, whatever they may be." Trish said this in a prompt tone to avoid any more conversation on political goals. It was also her way to bring the conversations to a close. They had just approached the edge of the forest elf city. 

"I could see the tree from the forest when I was traveling, but now that I am this close...I still can't believe it." Scylla had the same reaction as the party had when they saw the massive tree reaching toward the heavens.

"If you think this is amazing wait until you have to climb it. I am sure Wade would be willing to take you to the top for the view of a life time." Gil was talking about the view from the thunderstruck branch. He had etched it in to his mind. 

"No, she needs to come and see the spirits in the gardens first. They have the most beautiful flowers and there are plenty of food stalls to try on the way there." Su was trying to choose the path Scylla would take before Gil could take hold of the situation. 

"If you two wish to fight over me please do it after I have given my greeting to the queen. I also must give her the gift I have brought." Scylla pulled a fan that was much different than the ones she used. "I brought her a fan that I personally made. It has no uses but holds all of the artistic skills I have. I know it is always a surprise when I say that I have the ability to create my own weapons. But it is the only way to use my long reaching skills..mostly." 

Walker wondered if there was a hidden meaning behind Scylla gifting a fan, but he was more curious why she said that she mostly could only use fans to use her long reaching skills. It made him feel uneasy. The long and heavy cloaks seemed to ruffle around her even though there was no wind.

"Then my friends and heroes, please excuse me while I escort our newest guest general Scylla to my queen for a proper greeting." Wade made a gesture for Scylla to follow him and the two were gone in a flash.
