A few Realmfleet ships were going to stay behind and help, but the&nbsp;<em>Endeavor<\/em>&nbsp;could not. \u201cAnother mission?\u201d Arsha asked Rooshee on her personal screen in her quarters. \u201cAlready?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s a delivery mission,\u201d replied Rooshee. \u201cThe Vorkath Monastic Hospital needs medical supplies to help the patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMust be a busy time of year for them,\u201d mused Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe winter months are the hardest,\u201d agreed Rooshee. \u201cI don\u2019t think I need to tell you how important it is that the hospital gets the supplies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ll get them there,\u201d promised Arsha. \u201cI won\u2019t let the best hospital in the Realms be without supplies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGood to hear,\u201d praised Rooshee. \u201cRealmfleet out.\u201d When the call ended, the door rang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCome in,\u201d bid Arsha. Oak entered the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAm I interrupting?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNot at all,\u201d assured Arsha. \u201cWhat\u2019s on your mind?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere has been a rumor that we would be staying to rebuild Domoroto,\u201d reported Oak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSorry to disprove that rumor,\u201d sighed Arsha. \u201cIt would be nice to see the Shrine City opened, but we have another mission from Realmfleet. We\u2019re delivering medical supplies to the Vorkath Monastic Hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI see,\u201d mused Oak. \u201cDo we have a destination to retrieve the medical supplies for them?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAccording to the mission description,\u201d replied Arsha, \u201cwe\u2019re getting them from the Naval Base in Galthar.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s not too far away,\u201d recalled Oak. \u201cNow, if memory serves, Vorkath is a city for the Chimeras outside of Wysper City, Lardeth and Falnii\u2019s home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI don\u2019t have a guarantee that Lardeth\u2019s ship, the&nbsp;<em>High Sky<\/em>, will be there,\u201d continued Arsha, \u201cbut Falnii, unless she\u2019s on a diplomatic mission, visits her parents at this time of year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA surprise visit?\u201d asked Oak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo, Zephyrs usually prefer knowing about visits,\u201d answered Arsha. \u201cI\u2019d rather she be prepared for me. Inform the crew that we\u2019ll be moving out shortly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAye, Ma\u2019am,\u201d confirmed Oak. He then left her quarters. Arsha then typed in a number on her screen. The screen rang for a few seconds before a woman appeared. This was one of her fianc\u00e9s, Falnii. She had grey skin and was in a dress made of clouds, just like her hair and hairpieces on either side of her head. The symbol on her breastbone indicated her status and position. Her expression brightened when she saw Arsha\u2019s face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHello, Foxy,\u201d she said in her quiet tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHello, Fluffy,\u201d replied Arsha. \u201cMy ship is going to be making a delivery of medical supplies to the Vorkath Medical Hospital in a week. I figured, once we land, I might grant shore leave after the harrowing battle we\u2019ve had a few days ago.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI heard about it during Jargoon\u2019s trial,\u201d remarked Falnii. \u201cI\u2019m just disgusted that Mega-sharks would stoop that low. And he still insisted that it was his right!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m not exactly thrilled either,\u201d muttered Arsha. \u201cSome of the inhabitants of Domoroto may never recover.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cStill,\u201d mused Falnii, \u201cit\u2019s nice to see that justice is finally being served. I just hope that the Under-realm is okay with the increase in its Mega-shark population.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cActually, yes they are,\u201d replied Arsha. \u201cThey\u2019ve told Realmfleet that, since they originally came into being there, they felt their spread into the other Realms was their fault. They\u2019re happy Mega-sharks abandoned a Realm. Makes it easier to keep track of.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGood to hear,\u201d cheered Falnii. \u201cI look forward to your arrival. My parents and sisters always enjoy seeing you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnd I enjoy seeing them as well as you,\u201d chuckled Arsha. \u201cSee you soon. Arsha out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBye,\u201d bid Falnii as she gave her usual shy wave. The call ended and Arsha made her way to the Bridge. When she arrived, the crew was ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHelm, set course for Galthar,\u201d she directed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCourse laid in,\u201d reported Nazay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNice and easy,\u201d commanded Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAye, Ma\u2019am,\u201d confirmed Nazay. The&nbsp;<em>Endeavor<\/em>\u2019s landing struts retracted as the ship rose from its spot on the seafloor. It breached the surface like a massive, silver whale. Unlike the whale, however, the&nbsp;<em>Endeavor<\/em>&nbsp;went higher and higher, taking a northeastern direction for Galthar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jargoon sat in his cell, scowling at the guards. Never had he been humiliated so much. Never had he felt such betrayal. He was in a state of perpetual anger. \u201cIs the widdle fishy mad?\u201d asked the guard, an Incubus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLaugh it up, Lust monster!\u201d snarled Jargoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAt least I never stoop to slavery!\u201d growled the guard, offended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYour brand of life is supposed to BOW to me!\u201d demanded Jargoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen are you going to get it through your thick head,\u201d hissed the guard, \u201cthat life never really bows to ANYTHING?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThen why have rulers?!\u201d roared Jargoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNot the same thing!\u201d replied the guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBelieve me, it is!\u201d argued Jargoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou have the biggest superiority complex in all the Realms!\u201d snapped the guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe didn\u2019t ask to be superior!\u201d bellowed Jargoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOh, good grief!\u201d cried the guard. \u201cThe Mega-shark\u2019s burden!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cExactly!\u201d replied Jargoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ve heard enough!\u201d shouted the guard. He pressed a button near the door and all sound coming out of the cell was cancelled. \u201cYou can stay in there and rant as long as you want. At least I don\u2019t need to listen to you!\u201d Jargoon started bellowing at the guard, but he couldn\u2019t hear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Orbak, his wife Elmpam, and Malnar were in the throne room, looking on Veloom. He drummed his fingers as he waited for the Council\u2019s recommendation. A Councilor then stepped into the room. \u201cWe have decided,\u201d she reported. \u201cThe Mega-sharks are too dangerous to be left in the other Realms. We need Realmfleet to relocate them back to our Under-realm.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThank you, Councilor,\u201d replied Orbak. \u201cThat will be all.\u201d The Councilor bowed, then left the throne room. \u201cVeloom,\u201d growled Orbak, \u201ccan you give me any particular reason why I SHOULDN\u2019T relocate all Mega-shark colonies back to the Under-realm?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou and your family are well within your rights to do so,\u201d sighed Veloom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re not talking about our rights!\u201d snarled Elmpam. \u201cAnswer my husband\u2019s question!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI have no answer,\u201d muttered Veloom. \u201cI was simply allowing my dark passions to guide me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDark passions?!\u201d snapped Malnar. \u201cThen you and your people have abused them!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYour Excellencies,\u201d argued Veloom. \u201cWith respect, we have not. We have obtained pleasure, as is our right\u2026!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat right,\u201d roared Malnar as she stood up, \u201chas responsibilities! All rights have responsibilities! Before you even mention the harems, let me remind you that it has evolved from its dark origins of enslaved people! Nowadays, it\u2019s a consensual bond between Harem Master and Harem Member! Enfanti of the Blue Rose Harem can attest to that!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere is a limit to how far we allow our dark passions to guide us to power,\u201d continued Elmpam, \u201cand you Mega-sharks just reached it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re having all Mega-sharks in all the Realms relocated back to their ancestral waters in the Actanila Mega-shark Grounds!\u201d shouted Orbak. \u201cIs that clear?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOrbak, you can\u2019t deny us the right to spread!\u201d roared Veloom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI can, and I will!\u201d affirmed Orbak. \u201cAnd the correct form of address is \u2018Your Majesty\u2019! Now, GET OUT!\u201d He summoned a teleport circle underneath Veloom and she vanished back to the Actanila Mega-shark Grounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI won\u2019t miss her,\u201d hissed Malnar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMalnar, sweetie,\u201d directed Orbak, \u201cwould you inform Realmfleet about my request?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSure thing, Daddy,\u201d replied Malnar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ll tell Frigandor\u2019s assembly,\u201d supplied Elmpam, \u201cabout the increase in the Mega-shark population off their northwestern shores.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou do that,\u201d replied Orbak. \u201cI need to prepare my address to the Under-realm relating to his matter.\u201d All three of them went off to their separate destinations to fulfill their duties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over in the Over-realm, in the Falfan shipyards, a large, imposing ship with a cloud design was ready to launch again. This was the CRS-3395,&nbsp;<em>High Sky<\/em>, under the command of Crown Prince Lardeth Malfam, future ruler of the Over-realm and one of Arsha\u2019s fianc\u00e9s. Lardeth was gliding along with Falnii, his clouds in a dress style, as is standard for all Zephyrs regardless of gender, and wearing cloud hairpieces to hold a veil behind his head. His silver adorned lips were in a smile as he looked at Falnii. She was talking about her conversation with Arsha. \u201cShe\u2019s going to be visiting?\u201d quizzed Lardeth. \u201cI might meet her on the way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI hope you do,\u201d replied Falnii. \u201cShe misses you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnd I miss her,\u201d sighed Lardeth. \u201cA Captain\u2019s life is a lonely one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHow many years do you have left in your tour?\u201d asked Falnii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTwo more, starting tomorrow,\u201d replied Lardeth. \u201cI must return to the&nbsp;<em>High Sky<\/em>. Farewell, Fluffy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFarewell, Princess,\u201d called Falnii.
