3072 Rough Welcome (Part 2)

"The Guardian grants you audience, but she will receive you one at a time." Crevan returned and brought Nyka away with him.

"How's the most beautiful baby on Mogar?" The moment the potential enemy disappeared, the Phoenixes gave Elysia a proper welcome.

"Say hi to Uncle Jhet." Another member of Crevan's unit said. "Say Jhet."

"He." Elysia replied.

"That's right. What a smart girl." He pinched her cheek while dangling his colorful feathers in front of her face.

"Hey, I got two kids here." Lith grunted, pointing at Valeron who felt excluded. _{freeweɓnovēl.coɱ}

"He's not of our blood." Lenanna said with ill-concealed annoyance.

Jhet was about to mention that Valeron the Second was the spawn of the Mad Queen and a traitorous Dragon. The members of the Nest had never forgotten the threat that Thrud and her Undead Courts had posed to the Desert and they would never forgive her.

To their species, blood carried great importance in both good and bad ways. As they bathed in Salaark's glory for it, Valeron carried his parents' shame.

Lith knew that as well so he shot a stern glance that silenced any further objection.

"He belongs to my blood and Leegaain's. By disrespecting Valeron, you are disrespecting us and Grandma. Have you forgotten she took care of him for months until I was ready for the task? That she agreed to raise him as her own?"

"No, we haven't." The Phoenixes had just hoped to have gotten rid of the puny disgrace.

"Yet I'm disappointed in you all." Salaark walked through the thick curtain that in the Desert's tents replaced doors. "Get out. Now."

The Overlord wore a flaming scarlet robe, the Blood Desert equivalent of a cocktail dress, that left her fair arms exposed up to the shoulder. Her legs appeared from the side slits of the dress with each step she took.

The Phoenixes lowered their gaze in shame and obeyed after kneeling to her.

"I hope that order wasn't addressed to us too." Lith said. "The kids even brought you a present."

"Gama!" On his cue, Valeron pulled a Fire Orchid out of the baby carrier and Elysia did the same.

Lith, instead, gave her a whole bouquet. They were flowers typical of the Desert and Salaark's favorite.

"How could I be disappointed in my babies?" She kissed their foreheads in turns, collecting the flowers after thanking them one by one. "I've never seen Fire Orchids so big. Where did you find them?"

"From Mogar's Garden." Lith told her how after losing the Ears, he had returned there to collect a few flowers for the Overlord.

"That's why they have grown so much and have so many extraordinary traits. They didn't grow in the Desert." She put Valeron's flower in her hair, making him smile, Elysia's in her breast pocket, and Lith's bouquet in a vase.

"Well, now that you've buttered me up, are you going to call me a pretty lady or are you going straight to tell me what you want?"

"Ouch. Am I that obvious?" Lith asked while clenching his chest in mock pain.

"You are. What's the matter, Featherling?"
