[h1]Vrondi Capital[/h1]
The Tearian party aboard their floating vessel went on. The music continued to blare before the Queens high seat. Similar to a stadium she sat alone. Save for her two companions who stood next to her.

Their outfits [url=https://i.pinimg.com/736x/c8/a0/57/c8a0579663a37f3da0438068018dbdc1--art-tips-art-ideas.jpg]were of the Tearian style. [/url]Slender yet equipped with padding of what could only be assumed to be fine materials. If only for the lack of the helmet they would appear as sentinels of the Queen who had an air of stealth similar to the Nayu. Except anyone with knowledge on the Lassa knew it would be technology and magic they were masters at. 

They continued bickering a bit before the Queen put a stop to it. They both seemed to be vying for the Queens attention. Which only amused her as time went on. [color=cornflowerblue]”Well, at least you seem to be enjoying yourself.”[/color] Adrian approached his sister, smiling as he bowed slightly before continuing. [color=cornflowerblue]”Honestly, I would really prefer to be home right now. Why do we have to be at these meetings when they could just send letters?”[/color]

Adrien’s appearance silenced them, though they retained a bit of a relaxed posture. It was not a good view on the Queen to have [i]anyone[/i] showing too much intimacy with her in public. Even if they were her own groomed elites. She, Tydra, looked to her blood brother with a innocent smile and eyes to match, clearly still amused by the earlier shouting match over her. [Color=cyan]”To come out of the seas and grace the land dwellers can't be helped. They're too unsophisticated to be welcomed at my quarters. If the king Vrondi is welcoming everyone to trash his abode, so be it. But this meeting has a high degree of importance. We did lose soldiers last night.” [/color] She spoke with a sigh.

[color=cornflowerblue]“still...”[/color] Adrien sighed along with his sister as he sorted his thoughts. There were some things he just couldn’t say out loud, even to her. [color=cornflowerblue]“I suppose a better question would be why do [i]you[/i] specifically have to be there? You could have sent me or an ambassador in your stead.”[/color]

[color=cornflowerblue]”I would think that the fact even we lost soldiers would convince you to stay where you’re safe.”[/color] He spoke this last part quietly, not meeting his sister’s eyes as he did. He had a right to worry for her, didn’t he? He didn’t trust outsiders, even the kings and queens of the other nations. Actually, he [i]especially[/i] didn’t trust them.

Their vessel was above the trees and gently moved over the jungle tops of the Vrondi territory. It was the smell of fresh water that attracted flying beasts, both dragon and fowl. There they met a barrier that rejected all matter that attempted to enter the dome like arena. The Magoi mages stood parallel on several ends of the bowl shaped structure. Their influence kept the barrier alive.
“I see you've been trained well.” Said Koralli. She put her hands on her hips and smiled teasingly. 

“Don't talk about the Queens brother as if he was a dog! I apologize for her rudeness my lord Adrian.” Ippokam nearly wagged his finger at Koralli. 

Adrian laughed lightly at the two elites. [color=cornflowerblue]”It’s quite alright Ippokam. I had a good trainer.”[/color] He motioned to Tydra as he said that, smiling at Koralli before continuing. [color=cornflowerblue]“Though I kinda wish she still gave me treats when I do good. I don’t get nearly enough candy nowadays.”[/color]

[Color=cyan]”Yes he had a great trainer. He can handle himself and to that point I can handle myself. Now calm yourselves, each of you. Leave the protecting to my elite guards And the Magoi. Enjoy yourselves in this rare gathering of all races on the Edafos.”[/color]  Tydra laid back in her high chair and smiled at them, winking to her younger brother. [Color=cyan]”There might be someone out there for you to add to the family.”[/color] She spoke with a mischievous smile.

Adrian just shook his head at his sister, but smiled to himself as he thought. [i][color=cornflowerblue]Not likely…[/color][/i]
A pout could be seen from Tydra as her cheeks swelled like a puffer fish before letting out a few words under her breathe but still loud enough to recognize. [i]We’ll See[/i]

The gates of the Vrondi kingdom opened up once more to allow the entrance of a guest that arrived by land instead of air. A shadow from a large floating object was cast on a large portion of the Vrondi kingdom before narrowing down. Both were signs of the arrival of the Nero and Tearian rulers. The welcomed appearance of the Nero traveling carriages was well known by the tossing of confetti and other items that rained down on the royals. However the Nero guards who surrounded the structures that were being carried by dragons did not seem pleased by the confetti raining down on their pitch black clothing, decorating them with multiple colors.

 It was the Tearian royal vessel that absorbed the applause of their arrival. This fantastical ship, a stadium like floating object, defied the limited capabilities of descended kind. It was as if it were from another realm, as it pulsed with blue auras along its many complex symmetrical linings. It was the sphere of water that sat in the middle of this stadium that held many of the royals who were partaking in their own celebration.

Instead of a row of stairs or dragons taking them down the royals of Tearia who were high aboard the vessel were lifted by giant spheres of water. They stood above these spheres and most did so in a dignified manner. The water beneath their feet upon reaching the ground would form stairs for them to walk down before touching upon the grassy field of Vrondi’s land. Some held hands and aided each other on their walks, this pertained to the elderly royals or those entirely new to land. Most royals were able to have customized footwear to allow them easier land travel.

A sudden display of their differing scales and complexions that all resembled the glistening shells, corals, and pearls of the sea was observed by onlookers. The Tearian royal adornments were from the ocean yet were embedded with jewels to charm ones lust for wealth and beauty. It was a joyous moment for the Tearians, to extend their pleasantries to Vrondi, which seemed in contrast to the Nero royals.

These Nero royals stepped carefully from their carriages upon arriving at the front gates to the King’s castle. There were only a handful of royals to count from the many onlookers who watched from afar at their strange clothing. The Vrondi natives often wore little and chose to due to their adaptation to their vibrant natural surroundings and also to absorb the lights rays. In these rays of light was either pain, or displeasure for the Nero who rushed along with their guards inside the castle doors. Their expediency to enter the castle marked their entrance into the party before any of the Tearian royals. A walk through the street of Vrondi brought many bright faces to see and greet. For Vrondi’s capital holds the most descendants from other lands and many upon seeing the kings and queens of their kin rush out to greet them.

Most of the royals now were inside the castle only thirty minutes after the new arrivals. Many royals did break off and go about the city to see the sights and purchase what they could. It was the Vrondi royal servants who led each party of royals to their respective areas to dine and enjoy themselves within the large dining hall. Music played soon, drums beating, gentle flutes, and the strumming of chords. It was the natural surroundings even within the gold and white reinforced walls and pillars that gave the tension a backseat to the festival like events taking place. A stage was set in the middle of the floor by way of clearing said floor. The guests sat in their respective areas, Fotia sat north east, Nero North west, Gaia South east, Tearia South west. Vrondi the king and his royals sat next to each other on a row of seats a good distance back and behind Fotia and Nero, looking slightly down at the others. The rest of the guests were mixed around the wide area both standing and sitting.

In the middle of the area, as servants silently moved about to deliver food and drink to the decorated array of descended beauty that laid within every corner, a performer approached. She was adorned with plants. These plants were a dark green and were wrapped around her body like vines, with pink and yellow foliage sprouting from the vines. They draped her head and covered her most private locations. But the rest was bare, even her feet as she gently strolled to the center, her vine like hair dragging along the ground like a snake.  [color=lightgreen]”We welcome all to this meeting. My name is Luxia. I will be performing for you this morning in honor of all of our guests.”[/color] Her piercing yellow eyes smiled along with her rising dimples that showed beneath her bronze complexion, and bright yellow lip coloring. 

She stepped around in a circle and placed down small seed like objects. Then she returned to the center and clasped her hands together. A glaring sun like aura emerged from her center and a wave of said aura could be seen emerging from her very slowly. It faded upon covering a short distance and the seeds then begin to rattle like eggs ready to hatch. Sprouting in rapid succession were the seeds, growing large roots within seconds and releasing explosions of spores as they did so. She was soon covered in a fog like mist of yellow from so many spores. Then, as the roots continued to rapidly grow and merge into each other a vine cage was seen around this fog. Soon the fog cleared and standing within a cage of vines was she.  [color=lightgreen]”Our fates can seem like a cage. What we love, who we hold dear can seem out of our control. And so we despair. But as the King said our souls are capable of anything and we live by the love we can spread now. Like a family of trees we help each other grow and in turn the world becomes whole.”[/color] 
The vines around her began to separate slowly as they began to reach into the air, then flowers began to bloom around the entire structure. A opening was made for her and she walked from out of the cage and bowed to an applause from most of the royals. 

Zargoth was met from behind by a Vrondi servant. This fellow bowed to him before speaking. “I apologize if I am disturbing you but the King Vrondi requests your attention at his seating. This way please.” He spoke quickly and efficiently like a royal servant would be trained to do. He shuffled past the crowd of royals, bowing and paying his respects as he did so before reaching the slight elevated level of flooring the Vrondi royals sat. Upon closer inspection these royals were not all of the royals of Vrondi just the eldest and most high ranking ones, with the King in the middle. Vrondi, the king himself, would look over to Zargoth and welcome his approach.

[color=yellow]“I believe we have met before. I welcome you once again, glad you could make it black dragon.”[/color]
