<strong>The Queen with M’Gul</strong><br/><br/>She liked that he was not a creature of many words, rather similar to herself. This time however, she needed a storyteller, not a news reporter. If anything, M’Gul was here to please her and it seemed demeaning from her part to punish him again for not being able to relate a story with ease and in full detail. He possessed many talents no doubt, yet which of them will prove useful to her, she wondered.<em>Oh, here is one…</em>the Queen thought as he easily raised her above the water and gently placed her on the edge. The soft moss felt so different than M’Gul’s touch against her skin.<br/>“Hush now ” she said placing a finger against his lips (human in appearance, animal by nature) and beckoned him to get out of the water.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Erato with Callisto, Belphe, Zaeroses and La’cael’rah</strong><br/><br/>She should have taken into account the fae’s presence…and the other two who just entered after her. Yet Erato’s attention, all of her focus and thoughts where aimed at what she thought to be her Queen, standing right there in front of her.<br/><br/>“My Queen” she replied to Callisto’s question in a booming voice “ our old friend Belphegor is gracing us with her presence<span class="bbc_u">today</span>.” she emphasized the last word, hinting that in all the days from the last decade, Belphegor had to choose this one. Was it coincidence or the demon lord himself paid interest to their layer?<br/>“There is also another guest in our realm..” she said avoiding to use the term “prisoner” in relation to Zaeroses and at the same time hinting that neither the Queen nor herself had any idea about the reason behind his presence in their circle.<br/><br/>“We have yet to establish who was it that brought him here, Your Majesty, and the Celestial believes one of our kind made the invitation.”  Before Belphegor would interrupt her little speech, Erato continued “A grave mistake which in her generosity, Belphegor decided to undo by keeping the Celestial in her custody…until the Demon Lord decides otherwise” she quoted the interrogator, giving Callisto in a nutshell all the information useful to their Queen.<br/><br/>“Should we summon the council before taking a decision, Your Majesty?”<br/>
