Suna stared dreamily into the the glowing blue flower as she leaned against Eleni.  If only she could cause this night to continue on for all of eternity, maybe if she had had such a desire before the sundering she could have caused such to happen.  But, fate always had different plans for Suna and now was no exception.  One of her ceremonial guards, who was usually always in her shadow, came up from behind her and laid a hand on her shoulder to get her attention.  Suna looked behind her and tilted her head.<br/><br/>"Yes Denar?"  The First Matriarch was tempted to put venom into her voice due to being interrupted during such a private moment but she knew that there must be some reason for the intrusion.<br/><br/>"There is... First Matriarch an egg is stirring within the hatchery.  Not only that, but it is of your blood line." Denar could not keep the mixed emotions out of his expression or voice.  Fear and excitement clashed and vied for control.  And it was suddenly mirrored in the couple seated upon the bench.<br/><br/>Suna's mind was racing.  This could mean so many things and few of them were pleasant.  But, due to her experience she knew that she needed to keep her emotions as far away from her as she could get them at this moment. "Understood.  Wake the Archmage and inform him to meet me at the hatchery."  Glancing back at Elena, she smiles a bit. "Come with me."  She wasted no time then and began to walk off toward the hatchery, tailed behind by a single guard and Elena.<br/><br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/><br/>Lidai blinks at the sudden commotion erupting between the Shaha and the Litoui and quickly raised a paw in an attempt to quiet them. "Please!  We are all here for different reasons but our goals are the same.  To go and discover.  There is no reason to let racial differences cause friction between us."  She lowered her hands and then glanced back down the road, where was she.<br/><br/>"We will be departing soon but before then I am waiting for a particular Kitsen that is now in my employ.  For her good too.  Oh, and my assistant as well."  She glances back to the Litoui and blinks. "How rude of me!  My name is Lidai Lotuswalker and I am the leader of this little expedition."  She takes out a little pocket watch, half past noon... Always late!<br/><br/>"I hope you both do not mind flying in airships.  Our sponsor has generously donated the use of one for us so that we can get to our destination faster and easier!"  She closed up her pocket watch and looks back up at the two. "Is there anything that either of you may need before we leave?  I can provide a few things such as clothing and equipment that has all been donated to me!"  She smiled brightly and excitement was obvious on her face.  She could not wait until they would be on their way.
