Empress, and her Nation

"What do you have planned today,Empress?" Rune wiped his mouth from eating. Twylyght place her spoon down.

"The Sunsong Opera House." Twylyght answered. Silhouette got up from her chair.

"I love that Opera House and my favorite singer is Feather Hollownight." Silhouette shows her love for the opera. Valentina chuckled and cross her arms.

"We know Silh." The Second Princess smiled.

 Feather Hollownight

 1# Opera Singer in Quetzalcoatl

 Owned by Baron Quetzalcoatl

The Fox Priest stood up. "Love having a singing voice?" Zalaph was listening to the conversion and eating a apple. Valentina was gaze at him but kept her mouth shut he knows too much of everything.

"So to Quetzalcoatl then?" Valentina stood up from her chair.

 Land of Quetzalcoatl

 Land of Warriors and Soldiers 

"Welcome Empress and Honor Guest!" A young dragon male cheered with green scales and feathers on his dragon's tail. The Baron first Son and Heir to the land. His named was Windcatcher Quetzalcoatl.

"Welcome!" Soldiers behind the young man cheered.

"Such a greeting." The Elf bodyguard approved. Windcatcher stepped up with a female wolf behind him.

"We pride ourselves in greeting people instead of sending servants." Windcatcher smiled.

The Lamia Leader steps up and shakes the young dragon hand. "Always a warm welcome in the Chaos Nation." Rune smiled. Windcatcher nodded.

"Let my Second in Command take you to the Sunsong Opera House." Windcather step aside. The Female wolf stepped in front. 

"I am called Raindrew, My Empress and Honor guests." Raindrew bowed her head. They made it to the Opera House. Raindrew took them to their seats. Zalaph sat down and cross his legs. As the Empress sat down next to him.

"Opera House are so spaces." Zalaph look around. 

"Amazing." Twylyght nodded.

They were on the top floor. The lights went low and a female wolf was on stage. Her lovely black dress flows with her walk, the way her hair dazzled even when the lights are down but her curly hair covers one side of face and it only shows one eye and her mouth. 

Feather raises her head and smiles. "I have been given a name by Baron Quetzalcoatl, I Feather Hollownight will begin singing. 'Humming Birdton' " Zalaph was relaxing in his chair, he was never good at staying in one place but she voice was so calming almost like the wolf his sister kept.

"What a voice." Twylyght break the silence. After the sing the crowd clapped. Silhouette was crying and stood up.

"Awesome!" Silhouette clapped. Feather bowed her head and walked away off stage. Valentina was trying to hide her smiled. "So pretty."

Feather dressing room*

Silhouette was rubbing her hands together trying not to say something dumb in front of the singer. Zalaph gently pushes her up.

"Hello Miss Feather I'm a huge fan!" Silhouette yelled. Feather's ear lay down as she smiled at the young female.

"Thank you young lady." Feather tilts her head. Twylyght also tilts her head.

"So beautiful." Twylyght said.

"Your praise is everything my Empress." Feather bowed her head but something felt off. As everyone walked out, Zalaph stayed behind it was just the singer and the Warlock and a silent room. Zalaph's eyes glow gold.

"Stay away from my prey." Zalaph said. Feather flinched but it didn't show.

"Sorry I don't follow." Feather smiled. Silhouette peaked her in the door.

"You alright Lord Zalaph?"

"Lady Silhouette tells Empress Twylyght I will be out for a few hours." Zalaph place his hands on his hips.

"As you wish." Silhouette walk away. Zalaph stepped outside of the Opera house and pulled out a crystal rock and tapped the side a voice came out.

"Master Zalaph." Calypso's voice came out.

"Tell Constance I cannot make it to our dinner." Zalaph said. "Yes Master." Calypso nodded their head but Zalaph could not tell. Zalaph hangs up and pulls out two dolls.

"Marigold and Peonies come out." Two dolls stood in front of him.

"Yes Master?" Marigold bowed its head.

"We have come Master." Peonies shake it arms.

"Protects Twylyght and her guests." Zalaph gave out their orders. Zalaph pulls out one more doll.

"Violet you are with me." Zalaph was walking away with the last doll he pull out.

"Yes Master." Violet follow behind him.

"No fair I want to come with the Master." Marigold pouted. Peonies drag their companies. "Too loud time to babysit." Back to the carriages.

Lafayette was yawning. "What an amazing day." Silhouette was looking out the window. Holo held her hand.

"Ms. TreasureFang?" The Elf was worried. Silhouette face turn a slight red.

"I'm alright!" She freaks out a little. Elf's face also turns red. Valentina and Rune smirked.

"I can work with this."

"I can agree, Lady Valentina." As the Dragon and Lamia were laughing like villains. 

"I don't even want to know." Twylyght sighed. Outside the ride, Skarlett was tapping Paradox's leg.

"How many?" She tapped his leg ten times. Paradox tap on the roof.

"My Empress?" Paradox asked.

"I sense them." Twylyght glared.

"Your orders?" Paradox asked.

"Kill" Twylyght spoke. Holo got up. "I can help." Valentina grab him.

"Stand down." Valentina look at him. Skarlett almost got stab. Peonies attack first. "Ms. Skarlett." Marigold waved at her.

"You both smell like Lord Zalaph." Paradox was sniffing the air. Marigold glared at him.

"That what our Master going by?" Marigold tilts its head. Paradox did the same thing. 

"Shut up Marigold, go start tying up those bastards." Peonies said. Twylyght step out and greet the dolls.

"Hello there."

"Empress, sorry to scare you our Master told us to stay by your side and protect you and the guest." Peonies turn it head away.

"May I have your names?" Twylyght smiled.

"I'm called Peonies and the one tying up the bandits is called Marigold."

"Such lovely names for killers." 

"Aww thank you!" Marigold giggled. Peonies petted their friend's head. "We will stay in the shadow until our Master comes back."

"Save by Zalaph's dolls was not on my bucket list." Valentina cross her arms.

Chaos Castle*

Head Maid Beacon and Head Butler Comet was waiting outside for them.

"The bath is ready for everyone." Beacon bowed her head.

"Call us if you need anything." Comet smiled. As everyone went to their room. In Twylyght's room, Hazel was combing the Empress's hair.

"All done my Empress." Hazel put the brush down. Twylyght's hair was no longer in the twin braid she loved so much in fact she looks more like her mother than her mad Grandmother that everyone thinks.

"You are dismissed, Hazel." Twylyght got up. Hazel bow her head and left the Empress's room. The door closed, she sighed and opened the window the moonlight brightened the room as the cold wind blew in her face. And she started thinking to herself about anything but one person pop in her head. 

"Am I worried about him, I must be going mad." She chuckled to herself. Just like magic Zalaph was outside her window chilling on a cloud. "You worry about little old me?" Zalaph squeezed his cheek together trying to be cute.

"I am much older than you." Twylyght cross her arms. They might be the same age if Zalaph show his true self.

"Cause I'm still a child to all dragons." Zalaph smiled, he got off his cloud and sat on her window with his legs outside the Castle and his face close to the Empress.

"How was your duty?" She was curious but tried not to show it to him. Zalaph smirk on to her little game.

"Very bloody how was your first assassination as the Empress?"

"I had more fun being assassin as the first Princess." 

"I know right behind assassination on a carriage so basic." Zalaph made a weird joke, but it made the Empress chuckled so sweet. Zalaph look at her.

"You know Lord Zalaph?" She smiled as the two stared at each other.

"Yes my Light?" Zalaph waiting for her to answer.

"Get off my window." Twylyght said.

"So cruel." Zalaph pouted and got back on his cloud. Twylyght close her window. Someone was sitting in her chair as she turn his head to them.

"Now we can talk, Leader Rune." Twylyght sat on her bed.

"Your little plaything is finally gone?" Rune smirked.

"Why pulled such a prank?"

"I wanted to see the daughter of my old friend can do."

"Did I pass the test?"

"Flying color."

There was a room next to the Empress it was Silhouette's room and the Maid Crimson walked inside with a tea set. As the Lady was drinking and Crimson sat on the other side of the table.

"Good work Crimson." Silhouette smirked. "Yes my Lady." Crimson blushed.
