Thanks to a combo of the unrelenting desert followed by the cooling, soothing bath Sectonia was partaking in, the queen was much more amiable than usual, and a bit more chatty. [color=92278f]"If this is living like a king to you Heavy, then I don't know what to say. This is paltry compared to what I have in Floralia."[/color] Sectonia said, attempting to strike up some basic conversation. [color=92278f]"At least, I did, until Galeem..."[/color] The Queen continued, clenching a fist. After a moment of this, she relaxed, a thought crossing her mind. [color=92278f]"That's right, you and the doctor here don't know about Galeem after you were cured of its influence."[/color]

Leaning back a bit, her golden wings sinking into the water, Sectonia said. [color=92278f]"I suppose it is best you know. Much like my kingdom of Floralia, whatever world you knew is lost, instead being mish mashed into whatever this Galeem wished to create. while bits and pieces of it may be there, it is there alongside items such as this 'sphinx', items, objects, and people utterly foreign to you."[/color] The queen started, getting into a bit of a monologue, sounding regal instead of her standard haughty. [color=92278f]"Apparently according to this robed figure known as the 'Master of Masters', a pretentious title, in order to set things right, get our kingdoms back, and maybe a bit on the side, we have to destroy the guardians of Galeem in order to challenge the light ball in the sky."[/color] Sectonia continued. After saying this, she leaned forward, her golden wings dripping form the water they had just been dunked in.

[color=92278f]"Personally, ruling a world made of all worlds sounds great to me, but to even get there we would have to defeat that ball of light, and considering it had the power to merge all of our worlds and brainwash millions or billions of strong people, we must gain strength ourselves."[/color] Sectonia said, knitting her hands together as she continued. [color=92278f]"Like I said when we first met, there is great opportunity for those who take it here. Defeated foes can grant you their power if you take it into yourself, but be careful, while you will gain the powers and memories of those you absorb, you will also turn into an amalgamation of you and them, which can look quite hideous if your not careful of what spirits you decide to take in."[/color] It was a shame Sectonia didn't know what Bowser had become, nor Dante, who had almost become a different person altogether, but she did know of a certain robot who looked like a mish mash of parts slapped together. She WOULD have mentioned Midna, but her merge with Uriobosa went well and only made her more beautiful, although not nearly to the level of the Queen herself. [color=92278f]"Our Princess of Twilight here is an example of a good merge, if I must say so."[/color]

After giving Midna a compliment, Sectonia continued. [color=92278f]"You can of course crush a spirit to gain an item or weapon, those horns on my crown being an example of something like that."[/color] Sectonia said, pointing to the arcane obsidian crystal horns that she managed to merge to her crown, which was currently being cleaned by her blue antillon. [color=92278f]"However, if you have the choice, it is best to make the stronger of the bunch, such as yourselves, allies. While some of those controlled by Galeem are hostile as you have seen, others are neutral at best, and as long as you don't attack them, you may gain strong allies, as you are well aware.[/color] Sectonia gave herself a bit of a stretch, having never actually explained this to anyone before, usually letting others do it for her. But as she had these mercenaries in her employ, it would do her well to show her knowledge. [color=92278f]"Even then the hostile ones can be made to serve, although I have yet to find one of a strong enough position for me to even consider, as it is an... involved process. And even then it may be better to take their power as your own. I suppose that is a matter you will need to decide yourself."[/color] 

While the Queen had said most about the spirit process, there were minute details she didn't know, as the explanation she had been given wasn't the best or fairly cryptic at points, but she got the most important parts down. With her little explanation done, she lounged in the water, finding it almost comical how many of them were in this pool of water while the Phantom Thieves were keeping the camp moving, her Antillions helping where they could.
