Ssylphiel, Bea, and the Order of Hissteria were rather busy. They spent the entire previous week getting everything cleaned. \u201cOkay, let\u2019s see, all that\u2019s left is the-!\u201d she said to Bea as she checked a list, then an Elf girl approached her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe\u2019s here!\u201d warned the Elf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNOW?!\u201d yelped Ssylphiel. \u201cB-But the throne room-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry about that, Mama,\u201d said Bea. \u201cFrannie and I already took care of that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019re a sweet girl, Bea!\u201d said Ssylphiel as she kissed her daughter\u2019s forehead. She then slithered off to the palace gates at top speed. She arrived just in time as the gates opened to reveal a Divine Naga. She wore glasses mainly for show as members of Divine Races didn\u2019t suffer any physical disabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSSYLPHIEL!\u201d greeted the new Naga in a motherly tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWelcome, Mama!\u201d replied Ssylphiel as she hugged the new Naga. Yes, this was her mother. The naga\u2019s full title is Coilzette Mentalia Goldcoil, God-Queen of the Lands of Coilusia, Keeper of the Legacy of Hypnosius, and Defeater of Gralvak the Terrible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOoh, it\u2019s been too long, Ssylphiel!\u201d said Coilzette. \u201cI\u2019m sorry I didn\u2019t call earlier, but the Sons of Gralvak were harassing my people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI heard about that,\u201d replied Ssylphiel, \u201cso I had some of my troops assist yours.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI thought I saw your troops that day! Thanks for the help! OOH! I heard you actually signed a peace treaty with Orkalist!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat I did!\u201d confirmed Ssylphiel as she and Coilzette entered the palace. \u201cDelilah took command and got her troops to stand down, so I could afford to do the same with my own.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDid you ever figure out why the war started between you and Orkalist?\u201d asked Coilzette. Ssylphiel face-palmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Apparently, Throzgar had thin skin. Remember that prank I pulled on him 5,000 years ago?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNow, Ssylphiel, I DID warn you some politicians can only make \u2018jokes\u2019. You needed to be the bigger woman and call him out on that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCan\u2019t really do that now, what with him dying at Delilah\u2019s hand in my throne room.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo that\u2019s why her dress and hair flower are black. Delilah seized command.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGrandma!\u201d called Bea\u2019s voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSweet Bea!\u201d cheered Coilzette as Bea arrived. She pulled the Bunny Girl Naga into a hug. \u201cOoh, it\u2019s so good to see you! How are you doing?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoing great, Grandma!\u201d replied Bea. \u201cMama\u2019s been teaching me the Goldcoil Belly Dances!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026This early?\u201d Coilzette muttered to Ssylphiel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou taught me those dances when I was only 13, Mama,\u201d replied Ssylphiel. \u201cBesides, you didn\u2019t have me perform until I was 21, I\u2019m doing the same with Bea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOkay, fair enough,\u201d replied Coilzette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOoh, Mom! I almost forgot!\u201d Ssylphiel clapped her hands and two Hissteria girls brought forth a box. \u201cHappy Mother\u2019s Day, Mama!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, you didn\u2019t need to get me anything!\u201d said Coilzette. \u201cMe seeing you is gift enough!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI know, but I still wanted to show my appreciation,\u201d replied Ssylphiel. Coilzette opened the box and gasped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Pearl of the Seas!\u201d she said as she held the pearl in her hands. It was as big as a man\u2019s fist, meaning it was just small enough for a hairstick decoration for Coilzette, given her size. \u201cI\u2019ve always wanted to go under the waves! Oh, thank you, Ssylphiel!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd there\u2019s another mother that needs to be thanked too,\u201d said Bea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026There is?\u201d asked Ssylphiel. \u201cBut I only have one moth-.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m talking about you, Mama,\u201d said Bea. \u201cHappy Mother\u2019s Day.\u201d She presented a box to Ssylphiel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh! Thank you!\u201d bid Ssylphiel happily. She was so wrapped up in showing how much she appreciated Coilzette for raising her, she forgot she was a mom herself! She opened her box and gasped. \u201cAnacassandra\u2019s Portal Bracelet!\u201d she whispered. \u201cShe can\u2019t make her usual getaways! How did you-?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEasiest thing I ever got from her,\u201d replied Bea. \u201cShe saw me once in the market square of her realm and fled, dropping it in the process!\u201d The three Divine Naga women shared a laugh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI always knew she was clumsy!\u201d laughed Coilzette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cClumsy AND stupid!\u201d cackled Ssylphiel. The Divine Nagas then wound down their laughter. \u201c\u2026How\u2019s Papa these days?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Your father,\u201d said Coilzette, \u201chas Anacassandra on the run. She\u2019s cornered, but I\u2019m expecting help from him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen it\u2019s almost time to carve up her Queendom,\u201d said Ssylphiel. \u201cBea, you remember what Grandpa William said? About you getting the grasslands?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLet\u2019s help Grandpa first, THEN we\u2019ll discuss how to divide up Anacassandra\u2019s Queendom,\u201d replied Bea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGood idea,\u201d said Ssylphiel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
