"Rom come with me, I have something that I think its time for you to see." Nostros stood up, returning to his Kingly manner.

I'm trying not to like you," Callabine said to the steering controls, "But I am failing miserably.""I was married to him for twenty years. Believe me, you were about to die. He was a master at making you believe that you were in control when he was. And I am trying to change my fate, but others keep stepping in and try to force me back to what I was before. Fejorn, for instance. I might add that your son told me to stay away from you. Maybe you need to open your eyes and take a closer look at things, since they aren't always what they seem." Callabine stood and went back to the cockpit, sliding into the pilot's chair.
"I know what he said, he told me. Ykrus just feels like he need to look out for me, I told him to mind his place. He also told me that you suggested to him that I was the one trying to make it something its not. To calm down and focus. You can't blame him. I just forced him to stay out of the war and took the blood right to replace him in the Battle. I relinquished my Governorship to Ykrus in order to do it. I am not about to loose another son. Especially one with his rare bloodlines." Illy snorted. "Fejorn rejected my wanting to go help my people on the battlefield... he sending me somewhere else instead.... I intend to do what's right. I will do what have done since I was young.. I will never stop doing it."
"Did I say that?" Callabine put the ship on autopilot and ran her hands through her hair. "At least you care enough about your son to do that for him."
"He would not tell me word for word what you said, he respects privacy within reason, but yes you said something indicating your non interest. Ykrus does not lie to his old man. I raised my children to do what is right and each of them kept to those ways." Illy raised a brow to her reaction. "My family comes first even if that means I am not around so much. I am there for every birth if I can help it, I try to make the events, but I see little of them. This ones coming early and it has Darius concerned. They messaged me last night saying that they don't think they can hold back the labor any longer. I need to be there for my son. It's his first foal and he just lost his arm... The Drex attacked the Lunar Cats, he was there. Mayba, his wife, went into early labor when he showed up as badly hurt as he was. I didn't find out until just before Anubis came to me believing that you were in trouble. I thought I had three more weeks." Illy realized he was just blabbing everything to Callabine again. "I gotta get this done, you're distracting me again." He leaned against the bulkhead and started reading again.

Illykran dropped his data pad then fumbled to catch it, but it slid under the pilots console. He turned red. Good grief fumble fingers keep your cool. "I um... that's... to be honest my same problem. Only... crap Callabine I was trying to avoid this..." He rubbed his head, turned, and walked towards the back of the ship to try and gather himself.
He kissed her on the forehead ."Here." He gave her the tea. "I will miss you for these next few days."
(Ah HA!)Crut for the first time, had difficulty with her accent. "Alright, we have a month or so." He kissed her head. "Now drink, you need to get well." He got up and left her room.
Three days later he went to the next gathering if the inner circle. This time everyone was present even the Moguar King. The High King was never allowed to the inner circle meeting, for his presence would be believed to intimidate the inner workings between the four worlds. There were five members from each world.
Crut and Illykran were joint chair. While the highest standing members from each group were the heads for their sections. Illykran had been growing weary as of late, and with the way the circle was handling the Memeruk case he was ready to walk out.
"Untill we have conclusive finding about dragons from specialist Orb we are not going to assume." One of the Terrellians put a firm finger on the table.
Illykran was out in the hallway listening as Crut arrived. "Have they started already?" Crut grunted.
"Well that depends on the definition of start." Illy gave him a hard slap. "You've softened up since last I saw you?"
"I have a few little secrets to my success." Crut smiled. He almost looked like his old charming self now, just taller.
"You found a woman didn't you?" Illykran smiled. "She helped you tame that beast that took you over... good I am happy for you."
"Thanks."
"Did you bring a change of clothes? Cuz this will tick you off today."
"Just don't take off on me." Crut held up a small bag with larger clothes in it.
"I won't... Krits has been trying, but I think he's about to start abusing his mind powers in order to win the argument."
"I am surprised they allowed him in based on the telepathy?"
"Well Nostros can't do it anymore... but imagine what it was like while all of you were on that earth mission!"
"Illykran?" Crut pulled him further down the hall. "Krits and I have been talking about reinstating King Felthore's Line. The Memeruk has been bred down far enough and we have three candidates that would take over instead of Fejorn's heir."
"That won't happen, the name Memeruk is fast earning it reputation as of late." Illy's face was concerned and almost full of grief. "I am going out of my mind, I have been head of trying to save the mares and foals for over three hundred years Crut. Not they are talking of exiling all of them so that we can better protect against the kidnappings."
"I read the reports. Mass execution?"
"It would end up killing too many innocent. Amber and the Condor were not bad. Sure The Condor was gruff and a bit of a jerk... but no more than some other stallions that I know. He treated his wife well and loved his kids."
"Does his daughter know who her father was yet?" Crut asked.
"I thought about telling Bambi, but not with this stuff going on, not until the water clears... They are talking of filtering down to the quarter. Crut I know those numbers, that's too many and most if not all are fine."
"Wait.. that would get both Ykrus and Heather kicked out, including Bambi." Crut shook his head.
"If they move that Motion I will challenge the blood right to Fejorn. I don't want to see Ykrus as King, but I will risk that over sending all those Cetaurs away, including two of my own children and my niece." Illykran snorted.
"Illy, I though Condors mother was a half-blood?" He cocked his head.
"No... she was actually three quarters. Enough for them to count it. I was a fool marrying Amber. Condor's baby sister." Illy shook his head.
