The Endeavor<\/em> made it to the Under-realm, right above the Belsnath Citadel. Shalvey made the call. \u201cBelsnath Citadel, this is the Skyship Endeavor<\/em>, registry CRS-2784. Requesting permission to land.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStandby while we acquire your clearance,\u201d replied a woman on the other end of the call. Shalvey transmitted the clearance code. \u201cClearance accepted! You\u2019re cleared on Flight Path 2 for the Emboramii\u2019s private port! Tell His Majesty and his family \u2018Welcome back\u2019!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWill do, Belsnath! They\u2019ll be glad to be home!\u201d Shalvey ended the call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFlight Path accepted,\u201d called Nazay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTake us down,\u201d directed Arsha. Nazay keyed in the commands and the ship descended onto the landing pad behind the Emboramii\u2019s castle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cArsha,\u201d called Orbak from the balcony overhead, \u201cwould you and your parents mind accompanying me and my family? I have a feeling you\u2019ll be a welcome sight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt would be my pleasure,\u201d replied Arsha. She and her parents joined the Emboramiis as Malnar pushed her dad\u2019s chair. They made it to the rear gates of the castle and made their way to the throne room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Prime Minister Moggle Deksnar, an Orc man, looked over some papers while sitting on the throne. He shook his head in frustration as he examined one particular report. A guard woman then approached him. \u201cPrime Minister, the King, his family, and the Royanas are outside the southwestern entrance to the throne room,\u201d she reported. Moggle smiled as he stood up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFinally, some sense will return!\u201d he sighed. \u201cLet them in, not that Orbak of all people needs permission to enter his own throne room.\u201d The guard bowed, then opened the southwestern door. The Emboramiis and the Royanas then entered the room. Moggle approached them while carrying the reports. He then knelt to the floor in front of Orbak. \u201cYour Majesty!\u201d he greeted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGood to see you again, Moggy!\u201d chuckled Orbak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026Didn\u2019t exactly miss that,\u201d remarked Moggle. \u201cYou look great, my Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI guess we\u2019re both cripples now, huh?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, we are.\u201d Moggle pulled his robes back a bit to reveal his cybernetic legs. \u201cYour Majesty, we need your clarity and Arsha\u2019s miracle-working abilities something fierce here.\u201d He handed everyone the reports. \u201cI\u2019ve been studying these reports from the fronts. Note the plural form.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI thought we only had the Frigandor front to worry about,\u201d muttered Elgrad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cInitially, yes, but another front cropped up during your trip through the Realmgate vortex, focused on Crelima City\u2019s northern border.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019ve heard about what\u2019s going on in Frigandor,\u201d interjected Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA blockade, mainly. The Realm Trinity Empire set up their new base of operations there and used the population as their hostage. They cut off any elements of power. Heating, refrigeration, timekeeping, communications with the outside world, transport, you name it, it\u2019s been cut off. We\u2019ve made multiple attempts to give supplies and generators, but the Empire shot the ships down, killed the survivors, and took the supplies for themselves, leaving Frigandor with only the scraps.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHaven\u2019t there been any evacuation orders?\u201d asked Elmpam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMany. All of them were intercepted and then all attempts to leave were thwarted whether by imprisonment or by death. The Realmfleet Revenants, Arsha\u2019s old crewmates that died at Plunder Island Stronghold, have reported that Dr. Borg will be doing the same to Crelima City as she did to Frigandor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis isn\u2019t like her,\u201d muttered Arsha. \u201cThat\u2019s now three civilizations that experienced or are experiencing being held as a hostage. Ever since Oyed went dark, the Trinnies\u2019 aggression has been unfocused, making her an easy target.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cArsha?\u201d asked Orbak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWouldn\u2019t this be a good thing?\u201d quizzed Elgrad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, she\u2019s more put together than this,\u201d said Arsha. \u201cThis feels like a distraction.\u201d Arsha\u2019s eyes then lit up. \u201cIs she even counting on the bulk of our ships once being stuck in the Mid-realm?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSomeone\u2019s got an idea,\u201d chuckled Malnar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe first need to fix the Under to Mid Realmgate and sync it with the Mid to Under Realmgate. Once that\u2019s done, two fleets can easily get through. A smaller fleet will give aid to Crelima City along its southern shores and gather intelligence on the Empire\u2019s movements while the larger fleet can rout any enemy forces in Frigandor and give aid to the people while also gathering any intelligence they can.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMalnar and I will focus on divvying up the ships,\u201d called Orbak. \u201cWe\u2019ll tell you when we\u2019ve drawn up the plans.\u201d A guard then rushed in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYour Majesty! Two more ships just came out of the Under to Over Realmgate!\u201d he reported. \u201cIt\u2019s the Majestic<\/em> and the Divine Revenge<\/em>! They\u2019re requesting permission to land here!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRellmeer and Reb?\u201d asked Arsha. \u201cWhat are they doing here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAllow them to land,\u201d ordered Orbak. \u201cI have a feeling things are about to get real messy real fast.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Rellmeer and Reb Rojam were escorted to the throne room as Orbak sat on the throne while his wheelchair stood by it. The two women bowed to him. \u201cRellmeer, there\u2019s no need for YOU of all people to bow,\u201d said Orbak. \u201cPlease, both of you, rise.\u201d The women rose. \u201cWhat brings you here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re hunting down two terrorists,\u201d explained Rellmeer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSpecifically,\u201d continued Reb, \u201cthe parents of that VILE Dr. Borg.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey\u2019re enemies of the Fae Republic,\u201d supplied Rellmeer, \u201cand have made numerous attempts to my throne.\u201d Her expression darkened. \u201cOn top of that, they have taken my beloved husband\u2019s life! They would have killed every girl in my harem had Reb not intervened when she did.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI only regret not saving Emperor Embrek in time,\u201d sighed Reb, dropping her verbal tic in shame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd you tracked them here?\u201d asked Orbak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery TINY scrap of intel says that Mama and Papa Borg are with their HEINOUS daughter and her spouses right now, LOUDLY cheering them on to godhood!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo, she\u2019s not unloved by her parents, there goes THAT backstory. Arsha and I owe Lardeth 500 golds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Borg family is a very loving family,\u201d replied Rellmeer. \u201cThey always believed that they and those they bring into the family are the superior beings. Dr. Borg\u2019s grab for power is vindication for them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, let\u2019s cut that vindication short,\u201d declared Orbak. \u201cEmpress, would you mind joining Malnar and I in battle-planning?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI would be honored, Your Majesty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, Captain Rojam?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes, my GRACIOUS King?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cArsha\u2019s here. You might want to get your hellos with her out of the way.\u201d Reb flinched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ll\u2026get right on that,\u201d she mumbled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
