	Athena stood near the window, gazing out through the soft white curtain. Though the day hours still lingered, something about this meeting made the light appear as though it struggled through storm clouds. She waited in a room with not a small number of others. A few she recognized as persons of notoriety. Such as the King’s advisor’s grandson, and then the squire who had joined not long ago. Then there were those she recognized form the news the king broke four months ago, about the crown prince and his rescuers. The doctor in black and Jazdia. She didn’t know what they looked like in person, but there was something about the elf that made he certain that is who it was. She half expected a bear to also be present. Maybe that would confirm her suspicions. As for the others, she expected to wait and see. The king must have requested them for a reason.

	Speaking of the meeting with the King, Athena was surprised when she found a letter lying on the floor, near the front entrance of Voltspear’s house. Never had she thought that she would be good enough to be of personal audience with the king. Despite having seen him multiple times across her duties around the capital city, this was the first she would be addressed by him. 

	Athena’s ears perked when the door to the meeting room opened. Immediately people began to shuffle in, the elven woman being on of the first. She spoke so casually, it was a little of a shock, and to ask for their dossier’s? Who was she to think she’d be allowed that privileged? She decided to bite her tongue for now. It was too earlier to start a confrontation, especially since it wasn’t her place to say anything. Lord Thernous and his grandson were already here, so that alone outranked her. Instead, she entered the room with the others. She tried to appear as professional as possible, keeping her tails close, and her surcoat straight.

	Solomon was one of the last to have entered. He bowed when he came to face the king before he secluded himself back to the rear of the party to allow the others forward. He kept himself in an opposite corner to that of Louise and Erwin, who almost appeared to hide. Not to completely conceal themselves, but perhaps get lost in the crowd. There were more here than when Solomon was at a similar meeting four months ago.

	“Your highness. Doctor Solomon Sparrow, once again at your service.” he said simply.

	“Er, Athena. Athena Voltspear.” piped up Athena as the other started introducing themselves as well. In the end, Jazdia was confirmed, and so was Solomon. Athena knew little of Yvonne, but the name Rosenving sounded familiar. Didn’t they party themselves into destitution? What would that family be able to offer? Even with the Thernous’ grandson, and the likes of someone like Jazdia and Solomon, this group appeared anything but cohesive. What was the king planning?
