Asteria was escorted in by a family servant.

Asteria- Doesn't matter really. I'm the one chosen to be Queen. But Since i'm not married, i'll settle for the title of Princess until i'm married.

She smiled.

Asteria- The tournament of strength you proposed was something I would have taken part in, to raise the prestige of my family. That is no long necessary. So, I will use this tournament of strength to seek a man worthy of my hand in marriage. I will use it as one means of finding my king. I will seek in other ways as well.

Asteria looked at the throne. She wouldn't be sitting there. She would have a new one made for her.

Chuuko looked up at Noel and poked him on his chest.

"Who are you and why are you here? State your business pipsqueak."

Chuuko was four inches shorter than him, with the aid of her ears. Yet she still found it appropriate to call just about anyone pipsqueak.

Skylar popped in behind him from a digital vortex.

Skylar
Not alone you don't. I had enough time to think... or rather process everything. Plus, I bring what you could say, is a "golden ticket" to the throne room if necessary.

Skylar had recently performed probably the most insane transition since anything Zelena did. With her brief trip to Avalon, she unintentionally gathered an insane amount of information that would have led her to absolute insanity, if not for her making this transition.

 So

Eclipse folllowed Skylar out of the Vortex.

"Referring to me as a ticket is highly insulting. But considering the source i'll let it slide."

She yawned, very much exhausted from making so much material. She would have to feast to get back to one hundred percent.

Chuuko stomped his foot. And considering her metal nature, it was likely quite painful and surprising considering her size.

"It's Ambassador Chuuko Mizune. Not Mouse, Mouser, or anything along the lines. I don't recognize two of you, but Eclipse I do recognize. And Of the Mythos too? Wonder what ever happened to Skylar."

Chuuko examined them carefully, making sure they weren't threats plotting some kind of assassination or something, but stopped when she realized who they wanted to see wasn't the Queen of the Castle, but rather the Golden Queen.

"Oh! You wanted to See Mistress Solara! Right, I'll page her now."

Chuuko was about to page her but got a chill down her spine. She froze in place. Solara must have been behind her or something. She couldn't even look.

Solara stood just behind her, just as she suspected.

*Solara*
Can I help you?

Solara didn't treat Eclipse as Royalty yet because she wasn't yet officially royalty.

Solara smiled down at him.

*Solara*
Politics is a battlefield where things are never as they seem. You are aware I took orders of Queen Shannan. To appear as a hostile invader but in reality I was simply protecting her through intimidation, by intimidating actual potential invaders.

Solara was aided by actually being a force to be feared. She could follow through with any threat she issued.

Solara laughed at his comment as if he told funny joke.

*Solara*
That's a funny statement coming from an active diplomat. You aim to improve your family relations with others. Gaining favor, improving relations, losing favor, deteriorating relations. All politics. the only way to avoid that is to hide in a corner of the universe where no one else inhabits. Because even on the smallest scale, such as a family, there will be politics. And no family is more entrenched in it than yours. It's what makes you lot so unique.

Solara opened the gate and walked inside, leaving it open for them to follow.

Skylar placed a hand on Noel's shoulder.

Skylar
Before we go in. You should know that I was offered a royal seat. Eclipse is my daughter. She's also the daughter of the prince Lancelot. If I accept, it's the same as accepting him as my husband. While it has a major impact on my life. It also impacts the lives of everyone with the Mythos name. Essentially, everyone in the family will be given a title, and the uncrowned Queen was pretty clear that she takes court very seriously. So once in, there will be no backing out. So every act would be watched under a microscope, so to speak.

Skylar didn't want to do something that would cause her more problems than benefits. She also held the fates of many members of the family in her hands. She didn't want to force them into being a part of world government.

 So

Skylar placed a hand on his head.

Skylar
I hope the other three of you are ready. Because you three count in this number too. Royalty awaits. Or at the very least, Nobility. So please behave, and answer the calls when you are requested, or it hurts all of us.

Skylar spoke directly to Leon, Cheshire and King, establishing a link through Noel. Yet another surprise of her new form.

Skylar smiled big.

Skylar
You know i'll do my best. will you do me a big favor and find mom please? I really want to talk to her.

Skylar had no idea how to contact her. She felt as though she could reach anyone but her for some reason. It must be something to due with her mom and technology. Maybe there was something to that fear she had

Osiris tapped Noel's shoulder.

#Osiris#
So, about that beer you agreed to treat me to. You said you know a good place?

Osiris hovered with her legs crossed

Skylar scanned the woman who was floating in the air. She gave off an energy with a pull of a black hole. There seemed to be no end to this entity.

Skylar
What in the world.... How do you even move under that kind of pressure?

Skylar's new scans began to crash. The data received seemed to be infinitely growing yet saying absolutely nothing.

Osiris shrugged.

#Osiris#
Not a problem. I feel like i'm suffering from some kind of creative block. People are starting to get really boring and linear. Think a good drink will help get me out of this slump.

Osiris was looking for a book unlike any she had ever written. but everything started to seem to similar to each other.

Skylar ceased her scanning and wiped the data of the scan. She smiled at Noel.

Skylar
You go and have a blast. I'll handle things here, and i'll keep you posted.

Skylar waved to him before heading into the castle.

Osiris chuckled at what he said.

#Osiris#
I can tell by your expression that you don't know how perverted you sounded just now. I am intrigued though, in a non perverted way of course. It's not often I pass time without obsessing over writing. So a break would do me well for the time. Gives me time to adopt a fresh perspective.

Osiris matched his height to make it easier to talk to him.
