Queentia is in trouble

When he arrived he saw trouble at the entrance and got annoyed.

He walked up to Canus "What's the problem?"

"These wolf came back still holding on that this is their territory."

"Who's is it?"

"It was originally territory of The Brown Dragon Clan"

Richard nodded. "So they just claimed this land…according the law that was set up by the Azure King and Black King in the past, no land shall be claimed that is originally from The Brown Dragon Clan and should be as it is until the day they return. This law was made and signed by the two kings and all the clans agreed to abide to this."

"Your saying they just stole this land?" Canus asked him.

Richard nodded.

"In that case…"

"You can punish them with death as the worst sentence."

Suddenly a roars and two screeches coming from the cave and to everybody outside it didn't sounded good.

Everybody who was in the cave came rushing out side with a panicked look on their faces.

"Get away from here!"

Richard saw Marika in her dragon form chasing them and her killing intent was so high it gave him the goosebumps.

Canus and Cinis changed in to their dragon forms and told everybody to climb on their backs.

They took off to the sky, but saw Richard was still on the ground and hadn't move an inch.

"What the hell is he thinking?"

Marika was now outside of the cave, and she looked pissed she roared at the wolfs.

Richard walked up to her slowly and Marika didn't make a sound or a move on Richard.

"Sweetie, what's wrong?"

Marika downed her head to Richard 'These pests need to go, right now!'

Richard patted her head.

"I know, but did you have to do it in such a way and scare our kids and the others like that?"

'You want them to get injured by me, because I can't control my output?'

Richard hugged her head, "Your right my love, but did you by chance hear everything that was said?"

'Yeh, these pests have no claim on this land and I can kill them.'

"Darling it's not that simple…"

'Oh it is… I just kill them all here and now!'

"My love, this land is in Ignis you can't just kill a Vassal Clan of your allied country."

Suddenly a Big Black Dragon appeared next to Marika and Richard.

"Yes she can, I already got informed by my son what was going on and since these wolfs have violated the old agreement, I'll give her permission to do so."

Richard looked at Cillus "Alright since you give her permission I will not stop her."

"Sweetie, since we both are here and give you permission, I will not hold you back."

The wolfs were now shaking in fear, they never anticipated that The King of Ignis would grand her permission.

"Please Your Majesties, we beg your forgiveness."

Cillus and Richard looked at the wolfs "And now you want forgiveness… I got this right, you tried to tear apart Queen Yumaria yesterday, and now you are here to drive her away. Not to mention you implied a law from another country…"

"I find this equal to treason."

Marika felt a presence nearing and she looked up to the sky.

'What the f*ck do they want?'

Richard and Cillus also saw what Marika was looking at, they saw a flock of dragons heading their way.

"That's the Astrum Clan, but what are they doing here."

"Isn't it obvious, to be a pain in the butt for Queen Yumaria, and probably going to tell her she has no right to interfere."

Marika smirked 'Al thought I didn't anticipate them to come down here, this sure is a nice surprise and is going to work in my favor.'

Marika warned Lex, Lux and Carl telepathically that they came down, and not to react to her if she was calling and pass it along to the Lumen White Dragon Clan.

Marika telepathically told Genus to send Cinis over.

"Little girl, what's going on?"

'Ohh a bunch of bastard decided to decent from the moon. And I need all the guard to stay away, and since Cinis and I have an alliance he is needed here.'

'If Canus is going to whine about it, tell him he has to be patient for a little.'

"Alright… Little girl please try not let your emotions get the best of you, because you can cause harm to them."

'I'll try my best white coat.'

Cinis arrived and everybody accept for Marika changed to their human form.

The Clan head and his son and daughter together with a few soldiers landed.

They saw Marika and were shocked, al thought they knew only a guardian was of two colors to see her standing and breathing was still a sight to be behold.

But they starting to realize that Queen Yumaria was also The Guardian of the 3 World.

The clan head's plan to create discord between her and King Lunam wouldn't be that easy, because she was the guardian and doing something like that would mean the total destruction of their clan.

He knew they have to wait till Marika would free the clans and any action before that would be suicide.

The Clan head bowed to Richard and Cillus "Your Majesties, we came down here because we heard there was a dispute over this part of the land that is originally the territory of The Brown Dragon Clan."

The clan head then focused his sight at Marika "Your Majesty Queen Yumaria, al thought you may be a new and young queen, you may not be aware that there was an agreement signed by the Black King and the Azure King that nobody can claim the territory that was originally of The Brown Dragon Clan."

"I think it's best to leave these lands and…"

Marika wasn't listening to the man but kept her sight sharp at the son and daughter of the clan head.

Richard noticed her disinterested and her sight were fixed on them and slowly he started to get a bad feeling.

Marika was quiet, a little too quiet for his liking and knew that this was the silence before a storm.

Cillus also noticed it and didn't like it either, Marika could snap without any notice and that's what mad her dangerous, not to mention she was currently not in full control over her powers anymore.

"Clan head Maurus! I think your misunderstanding something, Queen Yumaria has an alliance with me and this kingdom. She is free to travel in these lands and visit any place within this kingdom."

"It was The Nox Wolf Clan who said it was their land and claimed it, She ignored them and wanted to explore this cave and they are the once who threaten to tear her apart and starting to attacking her."

"I and my brother intervened."

"And now you are lecturing her…" Cinis sounded cold and offended.

"You were tasked to watch over the territory of The Brown Dragon Clan and as soon another clan would claim this land or a piece of it, you were according to the agreement to inform The Black Dragon King and The Azure Dragon King."

"So why did you not full fill your duties!"

The clan head was silent, because he knew he could not rebuke in anyway.

The daughter of the clan head was constantly eyeing Richard and Marika didn't like it.

The girl walked over to Richard.

Marika roared out a warning to her but she ignored it.

Just before she could reach Richard, Marika whipped her tail and hit her and the girl was send flying.

Her brother caught her in time. "Sister are you alright?"

The girl looked annoyed 'Are you nuts, look at what she has done to me, the princess of The Astrum Moon Clan.'

"Sis this is your own fault, she warned you not to get close and you ignored her."

'Who does she think she is, keeping me away from my future husband!'

Marika eyes changed in to full fury.

'Excuse me… say what now?'

Marika finally spoke and her tone was hostile.

Marika unleashed her killing intend and this send out a pressure so heavy that everybody started to kneel down.

"Alice shut your mouth right this instant!" The clan head yelled at her.

Marika let go of her killing intend and the pressure started to lower.

Alice took the opportunity and changed in to her dragon form and started to attack Marika.

Marika just stood there and waited till she was close and used her tail again and whipped Alice in her face, she then moved her head under Alice throat and grabbed it.

Maurus and her brother Elior watched in horror as Marika had her by the throat and yanked her down.

Marika let go of her throat and pinned her neck down with her claws.

Marika then looked at Alice 'Don't you dare to try and touch my husband ever again, if you dare to put your filthy paws on my husband only death will come to you.'

'And if I hear you say that my husband is your future husband I'll cut out your tongue.'

Marika then looked at Maurus 'And don't think I'm afraid of killing a clan head and his daughter, because I was the one who killed the former Sun King and his sl*tty 3rd daughter who had the same idea that you have.'

'This is my first and only warning to you; hit me and I'll hit back, attack me and I'll attack back, try to kill me and your dead.'

Before Marika let go of Alice she broke one of her wings.

Alice roared out of pain.

'Now that your crippled let see if you can fly down again and try take my husband away from me.'

'Get lost all of you!! And never set food down here ever again!'

Alice transformed back to her human form.

Elior wanted to rush to his sister but Marika looked murderous at him. Elior stopped in his tracks fearing she would snap at him.

Alice pleaded to her brother to come and help her but he didn't dare to move.

Marika then smirked and used her tail and swiped her towards him.

Marika turned around and wanted to go back in to the cave.

"Guardian! Did you really had to break her wing? This is just too much!"

Elior looked at his father who was enraged.

Marika then looked at Maurus 'Too much? She came of pretty lightly, you can ask my husband what the consequences normally are for a woman who dares to try and steal my husband.'

Marika then walked up to Maurus with a threatening aura and lashed out to him.

Maurus managed to block most of her attack but got a scratch across his face.

The soldiers formed a defensive line in front of him.

'Ahha… I wanted to break your arm, but having a wound like that isn't a bad thing either.'

'If you all dare to ignore my calling again than prepare to pay with your life!'

Elior now knew that defying her one more time would be a death sentence.

'You there little bastard, get over here!'

Elior went over to Marika slowly, because he was terrified.

'Fallow me.'

Elior fallowed Marika in to the cave and she placed a barrier so nobody could get in.

She changed to her 7th form.

'I'll give you a heads up, don't try to attack me, because even if this cave put a damper on our magic I'm well equipped to kill you with my swords.'

'What's your name?'

"My name is Elior, Guardian."

'Elior, to me it seems you don't agree to what your father and sister are plotting, am I right?'

"It is as you say guardian, when you let out your first calling I was happy to know that there was a guardian again."

Marika looked at Elior.

'So why didn't you show up?'

"Our father thinks you're a nuisance to the 3 worlds."

Marika looked sharp at Elior and noticed something.

'Elior, who is the second soul that reside in your body?'

Elior had a shocked look on his face.

'What are you looking so shocked for? You know I'm part Azure so you know that I can see, and talk to souls.'

Elior was hesitated about telling Marika when a voice suddenly started to speak.

"It's alright son, she is the Guardian and she will not harm you."

A man started to appear.

'It seems you're not dead yet… Tell me where are you now?'

"I will not bore you with my sob story, all you need to know is that I'm held with the others two clans."

Marika giggled a little.

'When did they put you down there?'

"I was put down there 15 years ago."

'Alright Callan, just hold on a little longer, it won't be long and you all will be freed.'

The man nodded "Can I ask the Guardian for a favor?"

'Sure'

"Please could you keep him save?"

Marika smiled 'No problem, and even if I'm not around I know of a few people who will look after him in my stead.'

"Thank you."

The man went back in to Elior.

Marika gave a small pouch to Elior, 'Keep this on you every moment of the day even when you go to sleep. It will keep you safe. And if god forbids and all hell is going to break loos up there fly down to Moon Castle or Ignis Castle, use this stone and contact Vincent of The Green Dragon Clan.'

Elior looked at Marika "Thank you so much Guardian."

'Now let's go back, and if that man who is posing as your father ask you anything about what we talked about, just tell him I'm already on to him.'

"You sure know how to fool him."

'Well I'm just too smart, and he is too damn stupid because he is a greedy bastard.'

'Now pull up your most fearful expression and act it out all the way home.'

Elior nodded and they went back.

When they both came out Richard and Cillus saw Elior expression, he looked utterly horrified.

Maurus walked up to Elior "Elior are you alright?"

"Father we should go…"

Maurus had no idea what happened inside but for Elior to look so spooked it wasn't normal.

"Let's leave!"

'Remember, don't dare to come down here again, you are relieved of your duty as protectors of The Brown Dragon Clan territory, this will fall on me now.'

Maurus looked angered at Marika but left.

Richard sighed a sigh in relieve.

"Let's change the agreement when we get back."

Cillus nodded.

Marika changed to her 7th stage and drew her sword and walked over to the wolf clan.

'Get lost or get killed, as of now I'm the protector of these lands.'

The wolfs retreaded and without saying a word.

Marika fell through her knees, relieved that nobody got seriously hurt.

Cillus walked up to her and patted her head. "You did well Mari."

Marika looked at Cillus 'I didn't hurt you guy right?'

Cillus crouched down to her and pulled her in a hug.

"Silly girl, you did well under your circumstances, and kneeling down isn't something that can hurt us."

Cillus helped her up and walked with her to Richard who was holding a box.

"Now let see how our present for you turned out."

Richard opened the box and Marika saw the set.

'This…this is the magic repressing set?'

"Yes…do you like it?" Richard asked her.

'It's so beautiful, I don't mind wearing something like this.'

The necklace with a little stones and a pendant with the crest of Lunae Lumen, a pair of earrings and bracelets with a similar design with the Crest of Ignis, and a belt with the crest of Virtus et Caeruleus Viridi.

Cillus smiled "With all our crest together, you are protected and showing our bond we have with each other.

Marika put on the set and she started to feel her body was calming down quite a bit.

"With these your energy would be half the size and suppress your magic by 3 quarters."

"If that's too much than you just have to remove the bracelets or the earrings."

"If you remove either the necklace or belt you would gain a quarter more energy."

'So this means I can learn to adjust and control my energy and magic.'

"That's right sweetie."

Marika let out her killing intend but there was no burst of energy or a pressure coming from her.

Marika was over joyed.

'Thank you, really this isn't such a bad thing after all.

Marika got a hug from the three of them.

Richard then looked at Marika "While I was picking up your set there was a message for you."

'What is it?'

"There is something wrong in Queentia, Faber Village hadn't heard anything from them for a few days. And the asked The Dire Wolf Clan to check it out, Agrius and Ferox were send over and they didn't want to get close to the Queentia because the air smelled foul, like death."

'What about The Moon Wolf Clan?'

"According to Agrius and Ferox there was no signs of the smell, but I told The Dire Wolf Clan to move the villagers and his pack to the mansion as soon as the air started to change and told Agrius and Ferox to tell Luna to do the same."

Marika nodded.

Marika was thinking and then called Genus.

'White coat, are you familiar with any toxins that can make the air smell foul and death?'

"I'm sorry little girl, you should ask the herb specialist about that."

'Thanks white coat, by the way white coat, I'm safe to be around again, and I'm sorry that I hurt you like that.'

"It's alright, you didn't do it intentionally and you healed me so I'm fine."

Marika smiled and nodded.

Marika then thought of something.

'Uncle Cillus, do you mind if I hit your library together with William, maybe there are books that describe something similar.'

"Go right ahead."

Marika gave William a call and told him to go to the library of Ignis and she would meet him there in 20 minutes.

Marika gave Richard a kiss and transformed.

Marika arrived at the library and explained what she was just told.

"Hum…That's strange, Queentia is a pretty barren place, so it makes no sense."

'I know that's why I'm first going to see if there are any recorded cases similar to this before I talk to a herb specialist.'

William and Marika were pulling books on recorded disaster's and epidemic's

When the evening hit Canus came into the library to get William and Marika for dinner.

As Marika was eating she look down on her plate and saw mushrooms.

'I got it! I know what could be plaguing Queentia.'

"What is it?"

Marika pointed at her mushroom 'It's a fungus.' Marika quickly eat her plate empty and ran back to the library.

Cinis sighed.

"Brother don't sigh, she at least emptied her plate."

"She did?"

Canus nodded.

"Cinis while I know her behavior is rude according, but take in account that every minute count's in order to save the people in Queentia."

"I know father, but when is she going to sit still and relax a little."

"If she keeps going like this she will collapse."

"Don't worry brother, after this she will be coming here and relax with the kids at the late autumn festival."

"I hope your right."

Marika was in the library and found what she was looking for.

As she read the information and she noted down what was written, so she could ask the herb specialist at moon castle what herbs could help.

She ran back to the ding room and saw everybody was finished eating.

'Uncle Cillus, brother Cinis, brother Canus, thank you for dinner and I see you guys in two weeks with the kids.'

'William we need to go to moon castle right now.'

William bowed to them and left the room with Marika and opened a portal.

When they arrived Marika first went to Richard and told him what she had found.

"Alright sweetie, did eat anything?"

Marika nodded.

"Did you eat everything that was served?"

'I did, even though I just shoved it down my throat.'

Richard smiled and patted her head "Well the herb specialist it out right now but his student should still be in the green house."

"I'll call him back so they both can help you to find a solution."

Marika gave Richard a kiss.

'William you can rest now.'

"Alright."

Marika left the room and William let out a sigh.

"Did she really eat everything?"

"She wasn't lying, she really shoved it all down her throat when it struck her what the possible cause was and ran back to the library."

Marika went in to the greenhouse and was amazed by all the herbs that were growing there.

'Hello! Anybody around?'

The student came out and saw Marika "Who are you?" the student sounded snobby and somewhat uninterested.

'Hi, I'm queen Yumaria and I need some help with an issue that plagues an establishment in my country.'

"Not interested, leave you have no business here."

Marika looked at the young man and she didn't understand his behavior, 'If you were my student, I would fail you, kick you out and make sure you never can work anywhere with herbs.'

'If your this rude to a queen, I wonder if you behave the same to the king if he came in here.'

The young man looked at Marika "Of course not…"

'Question time! To who is your king engaged to?'

"Queen Yumaria Viridans of Virtus et Caeruleus Viridi."

'How did I introduced myself?'

"Queen Yumar…" The young man looked horrified at Marika.

"I'm sorry Your Maje…"

Marika hit the back of his head 'Queen Yumaria!'

'Now that that is solved are you still unwilling to help me?'

The young man shook his head.

'Great!'

The herb specialist and Richard had seen everything.

"She really doesn't get offended fast."

"That's because before she became a Queen she was a commoner like everybody else.

"She can relate easily with the people."

The herb specialist smiled.

"Your Majesty, how is the progress on Our Queens road to recovery from her trauma?"

"Well her brother is a doctor and she is fine with him, she also trust Genus…Well they look more like friends now. But to be honest, outside from those two, I don't really know. She hasn't seen her student lately and the same goes for Genus student."

"But if you look carefully she is just fine with your student and that will be no different for you even if you just returned from a patient, she should have smelled your scent by now and she isn't on guard or alert."

Marika was done lecturing the young man and turned around and walked over to Richard and the man.

Marika smiled 'We meet again!'

"My Queen, how have you been?"

'Want the truth or a lie?' Marika joked.

The man started to laugh.

"Hearing you say that that means you have been busy."

"So what does Our Queen brings her here?"

'First a promise, second a problem.'

Marika started to explain what was going on and then showed her note of the possible culprit to the problem.

"This fungus should have been extinct but it's true they are native to where Queentia is now."

'It's not uncommon for fungus spores to lie dormant until the conditions are right again.'

'What are the effect of these fungus and on people?'

"Well the smell alone can make one sick and vomit, this in turn can cause for malnutrition and dehydration."

"Eating them or inhaling the spores can cause for paralysis and death."

Marika was looking frustrated 'And since they were thought to be extinct there is no existing medicine.'

"Well for the people who are only suffering from the smell you can alleviate it by having a pleasant smell under their nose."

'Novicius Genesis (New Generation) Rosa floret nocte (The rose blooms at night) it has a very strong and pleasant smell, but that won't help against the spores.'

"The fungus is a slow growing one and don't release much spores in the air."

'I'll get a sample of the fungus and you can see what kind of herb can be used to counter the effects of the spores.

Marika gave the man a bag of seeds.

"What are these?"

'Novicius Genesis, they are the seeds of the new herb from my greenhouse in Ignis.'

'They bloom at night and seeds will fall at night, the herb doesn't live long but they multiply fast.'

'Here are enough seeds to plant and grown themselves and you can study them for any properties.'

'Now I have to go, I'll be back tomorrow with fungus sample.'

Marika rushed out of the greenhouse but was caught by Richard.

"Where are you running of to?"

'To Queentia…'

"No you're not, you need some sleep first."

'But…'

"No but's, you'll go to sleep for 3 hours and I wake you after that time, then you can go."

"You have been under a lot of stress and been flying all over, your of no help to anybody when your exhausted."

The herb specialist heard them and chuckled a little.

Richard dragged Marika to his room and laid her down on the bed.

Marika wanted to get from the bed but Richard held her tight.

"Go to sleep."

Marika sighed a little and closed her eyes and after a few minutes she was in a deep sleep.

Richard also closed his eyes and fell asleep.

After 3 hours Richard woke up and started to wake up Marika.

'What time is it?'

"It's around 3 in the morning."

Marika hugged Richard 'I'll sleep for a few more hours, if you promise to stay.'

Richard gave her a kiss "I won't go anywhere because I can't sleep well without you next to me."

Marika smiled faintly and resumed her sleep.

[Next day]

Marika woke up early in the morning and saw Richard sleeping, She started to wash up and dress herself, she woke Richard.

"What is it sweetheart?"

'I'm heading out to Queentia.'

Richard pulled her towards him and gave her a kiss. "Be careful."

Marika smiled at him 'No promises' and kissed him.

Marika left the room and went over to Faber Village.

When she arrived at Genus house she jump scared him, as she was busting down his door.

"My Queen, what are you here for so early in the morning."

Marika thought his words were strange so she walked up to him and placed her hand on his head.

'You don't seem to have a fever.'

She then looked suspicious at Genus 'Are you sick? Or did you get hit on your head?'

Genus distant himself more from Marika and she got even more suspicious of him.

"No I'm not sick or hit my head My Queen."

Marika looked at him 'If you say so…'

Marika then went through a closet and took a few thing from it.

Marika was telepathically talking to Richard, telling him Genus was acting strange.

Richard told her that Genus was with him and never left the castle.

Marika was done with getting her stuff and then smirked at the Genus impostor that was standing in front of her.

'I'll ask somebody to come and fix your door later white coat.'

"Thank you my Queen."

Marika was bothered by what she found so she went over to the training grounds.

Kevin!, Ellie!

Kevin and Ellie came running over to Marika.

"Sister what is it."

'I have a mission for you and Ellie.'

'What kind of mission?'

'A stealth mission, there is an impostor in Genus house and I need you two to keep an eye on him and fallow him around.'

Ellie's eyes light up, she was only training for a moth now but she was given a mission already.

Marika gave them both a sedative 'If you think he is going to run; use this, it's very strong so… even if you scratch him with an arrow or dagger it will take effect fast.'

Ellie and Kevin nodded.

'Kevin where is your brother Dante?'

"He went with Agrius and Ferox to Luna."

Marika ruffled both their hair, 'Please stay safe and I'm counting on you two.'

'Yes sister, I'll listen to Kevin and I promise not to get hurt.'

Marika smiled at the both of them and transformed in to a dragon and took off.

[Moon Wolf Clan]

Dante had arrived and noticed the air was a bit muddled.

Rector came to greet them.

"Rector how long has it been since the air started to smell muddle?"

"It started this morning."

Dante then called Marika and told her that there was something wrong with the air near The Moon Wolf Clan.

'Get the hell out of there right now and evacuate them to the mansion.'

"Sis what's wrong?"

'I need to speak to Agrius and Ferox.'

Dante held the spell in front of them.

'Agrius is it the same as near Queentia?'

"Yes sister it is the same."

"But its faint."

'I don't care what anybody says, you evacuate right now got that.'

"Yes sister."

Marika ended her call and told Richard she needed help.

'It's spreading and even the area of our daughter is starting to get affected, I can't do this alone.'

'I told everybody to evacuate but that will take a lot of time.'

"Sweetie calm down, you go to Queentia and I, William and Genus take care of The Moon Wolf Clan.

Marika nodded and ended her call
