<div style="text-align: center">Questor:<br/>​</div>I really have no plans for the rest of the week. Mostly I will be relaxing here at home and doing a bit of reading and possibly some training with you and the soldiers." he grinned. He watched Nyx and Midnight and shook his head. He gave Midnight a good scratching behind his ears. "You are going to be a Father Midnight. Hope you are ready to handle some energetic cubs." If what he knew about large cats was correct, within six weeks she would have her litter. Then the cubs would have to be weaned and able to eat normal food, before one was chosen to go to the Farm. He looked up at Laylah. Could she ever think of being with him in the way his father and the Angel Queen was.<br/><br/>Andrew knocked on the door and entered. "Sir Marcus and Nathan are here to see you."<br/><br/>"Send them in and have wine and some sweet breads sent in." Dante told him. He turned to Laylah. "Two of my most stanches supporters and two that have been wanting me to take the throne." He had to keep them in the dark of his plans on that matter. Only a select few knew what the was up to. "But they have no clue as to my plans, just yet."<br/><br/>Marcus and Nathan entered the room and looked over at Laylah sitting in her chair. She was not dressed like a slave but more like that of a free woman. They then looked at Dante Questionlly. He smiled and said, "She is my slave and I dress her as I please. Now what is it that you have come to see me about?"<br/><br/>Marcus approached, a bit wary of the two panthers laying there by the fire place. They looked up at the man and growled a bit, but a gentle touch of his hand calmed them. "Lord Dante, an emergency meeting of the council has been called for. The humans are massing an army on the border of the contested land. It is thought that they intend to move into the that land and secure it for their own. " Dante rose from his chair and stood facing the two other Lords. He could see Vadamore's hand in all of it. He wanted the riches of the land. He had already it seemed made a deal with the humans, his prisoner had already confirmed that. "They wish to meet at noon tomorrow."<br/><br/>"Very well Marcus, I will be there." he told the two of them. Well things were a bit accelerated but he didn't mind it at all. "Please have a seat my friends. Wine and sweet breads will be coming." With that he took Laylah by the hand and helped her up form the chair. "Come, I don't think you will want to listen to a bunch of political talk." he lead her from the room the two panthers following. Once outside the room, he whispered. "Find Andrew and having him take you to the eire. There are messenger birds there. Some especially from the mountain of your people. Send word to them of what is happening and that I would have my father and the queen come here. It will be risky, for they will have to be flying during the light of day, but they need to be here, for what is about to happen."
