Amelia Stormborn
Amelia's eyes met the vampire's gaze as she gave her full report on everything she had uncovered since the last time they had since each other. “King Moloch has moved west to begin discussions with the Khal of the South Pacific Kingdom.” This news gave reason for the sudden drop of her stomach. She had never seen or personally met the Khal of the South Pacific Kingdom but word of his reputation and the things he had done had reached her. From what she had heard the Khal was a beast of a man who was more of a brute than her father ever was, and if Drake City and the South Pacific Kingdom joined forces this would spell great trouble for her kingdom. While peace was said to be peace between her kingdom and Drake City the tension between the two ruling royals was undeniable. It was for that reason that she had had spies such as Eira placed within the city.
“The Khal is of course very power hungry himself and could very well jump at the chance to join a new war.” Amelia nodded but said nothing as Eira words only made Amelia more nervous. “It could be time for the South Atlantic to begin gaining allies, if nothing else as a deterrent.” The conversation and thought of forming an allegiance with other lands had come up in many small council meetings and the fact that Eira thought the same only proved that the council was right. The South Atlantic kingdom needed to form an alliance or two. Where to start thought was something that Amelia couldn't determine.
“I have also received news that the Kingdom of Wa has begun negotiations with one of the Fyrkat clans though I am yet to discover which one but with their already standing close relations with the Anansai they could be a prosperous option.” Gaining an alliance with the Kingdom of Wa, one of the many Fyrkat clans or the kingdom of Anansai would be beneficial at a time when it seemed a war was brewing. Eira's information had proven to be most useful and while it left the young queen with many troubling concerns she glad to have this information so she could use to to benefit the well being of her kingdom. At the current moment she wasn't a hundred percent sure what her next move would be but whatever it was she would have to act sooner rather than later.
“Forgive me ma’am, I know it is early. I hope you are well.” Amelia mind had snapped back into reality at the sound of Eira's words, "The information you have granted me with is well worth the crack of dawn hour. I greatly appreciate you as well as your services Eira. With sunrise fast approaching you know your are welcomed to the kingdom as well as whatever else you may require." Amelia words were soft spoken and accompanied with a warm smile. Amelia was truly grateful for Eira and considered her as well as her services a gift from her Seven-Faced God.
As the vampire approached her she spoke, “I have also brought you a gift back from Drake City.” The smile on the woman's face left Amelia curious as to what her gift could be. She watched Eira take a small pouch from her belt and she looked at it was wondering eyes as it was presented to her. Untying the small pouch before her Amelia's face lit up with joy as she saw that within the pouch was a small golden broach in the shape of a dragon. The design of the broach was a simple one but that didn't change it's expensive quality that Amelia could tell it was made from.
The queen stood in awe as her gazed was fixed on the small gold dragon. She had been giving many gifts in her lifetime and while nothing could ever replace that of the dragon eggs she had been giving on her birthday four years earlier this gift was of genuine beauty. Standing up she embraced Eira in a hug ignoring the fact that at that moment Eira could possible want to drain her dry of the blood that coursed through her veins. Pulling away she took the broach from Eira and for a moment she studied the beautiful dragon it displayed. For a moment all of of the worry of what Drake City was scheming didn't matter to the young woman as she looked up and smiled, "I will treasure this gift always. Thank you Eira."
It amazed her how much joy a small broach could bring her, but it wasn't just the broach but what it represented that meant so much to her. Also the fact that Eira didn't have to bring her anything but her knowledge only made the broach mean so much more. Before Eira left her kingdom Amelia would definitely be granted her of gift of her own but for now she had greater concerns. She would be calling a small council meeting into service before the day was over to share the information Eira had given her and plan her next move.
A knock on her door followed by the voice of Nala one of her hand maidens told Amelia that it was time for her to get ready. "I must begin my day but please help yourself to the castle. Just let one of the guards no of anything you need and it shall be given." With a smile Amelia sounded for the maidens to enter before being ushered away to groomed for the day.
