Onyx was on her way back to the Tallcanyon House. With a flap of her wings, she landed at the main door. “I have returned to Monarche Vixen’s request.” She told the guards, one of which was eyeing he suspiciously. “Very well,” he said. “I’ll take you to her council room to wait.” The guard escorted her up flights of stairs until they reached the council room. There were maps and lists of names scattered everywhere. Tanks of water sat in one of the corners, and a box of odd-looking pills was on Vixen’s desk. Those must be the pills that let the pupa breathe underwater! Onyx thought. Without moving her head, she glanced around the room. It wouldn’t be safe to do anything now, there were three guards stationed in the room- two at the door and one at the balcony.
