On Sunday morning we all cleaned the house in preparation for our guests. We also made snacks. Mom and I made the shields stronger outside. We also put up more cloaking spells. We didn't want anyone to see what was going on. That's when mom talked to me about Emily.
" Okay so I have a few questions for you. Please be honest with me, and try not to get upset."
" Okay, what's wrong? Are you okay? Is something wrong at work?"
"No, calm down please, actually Emily has questions she doesn't know how to ask. She wants to know how your doing? She also wants to know if it bothers you that she calls you Sky and Lilly mom. She wants to know if your happy with her? Basically she wants to know if you are okay with everything, and if not how can she fix it."
" Oh my gods, she thinks I am upset with her? No I am okay with her calling me Sky. Lilly has been her mother for fourteen years and I know it's hard to change that. For now it is also easier for her to call me by name so as to not get us confused. Of course I am very proud of her."
"Then you need to tell her all of this. She is very worried about how you feel. She doesn't want you to be upset with her. So you might want to talk to her before she meets her people again."
"Thank you for telling me about this. I will talk to her as soon as we are done here. Maybe we can get a little training is as well."
"That's sounds like a good plan to me. And we are done here. Now go talk to your daughter."
We were done with the prep work by nine so I took Emily out back for some more training. Today we worked on flying. But before we started I talked to Emily.
" Okay my dear, I want to start by saying I am very proud of you. Not only with your schooling, but with your training, and how well you are handling everything. I also want you to know I am not upset because you call me by name. Lilly has been your mom for fourteen years and I have only been back a few weeks now. I don't want you to feel pressured into doing anything you don't want to. No matter what I will always love you."
" I am so glad you said that. It makes me happy that you understand my issues. I was just to scared to ask you, I didn't want you to be mad at me."
" Oh honey I love you I would never be mad at you. You have been through a lot in your short life. I'm just sorry I wasn't there with you, and so very happy Lilly was. Did you know last night I talked to her about all of this. I am so proud of you. Now what do you say we work on flying some before everyone gets here."
"Sounds like a good plan to me. What do we need to do?"
" You need to focus your energy on becoming light, like a cloud. Then see yourself floating in the air. Then see yourself moving around the yard. That is how you fly. First we learn in the Human form then we learn in the dragon form."
For the next two hours we practiced this. Unfortunately Emily wasn't able to catch on right away, but that's why we practice. Right now we both need to go clean up before our people get here.
At noon Gabriel showed up with a van full of people. Before they opened the doors I could feel the pull. All of them were pure bloods. As Gabriel walked up to the door Lilly opened it and welcomed everyone in. We all went out to the backyard and sat at the picnic tables. it was really the only area big enough for us. Lilly sat down after handing out drinks and cookies, then everyone looked at me.
"Hello everyone, My name is Sky and I am your queen. You have been brought here because we need to get every one of the survivors together so in five years we can go home and take down that corrupt Council, and get our home back. You should all know that my daughter Emily survived the battle as well and according to the Dragon God she is the chosen one. First let's start with your name, then if you have any questions please ask."
"Hello your majesty, first of all you should know we all believe you, second I am Kayla, and third the Dragon God has been giving us all dreams. We know what we have to do and we are all willing to do it. We are all just so glad both you and Emily are okay."
Good afternoon your majesty, we are Bryan and Celeste. We worked in the castle."
"Yes, I remember Celeste, she was Emily's hand maiden. But I'm sorry I don't remember you."
"I understand your majesty, I worked in the gardens. The roses on the north side of the castle."
" Oh yes, you planted the purple roses. They were beautiful. Now you to are who?"
" I am Gordon and this is my wife Tanya. We also worked in the castle."
"Wait I remember both of you. Tanya was my lady in waiting and you were a member of the home guard. This is great, over the next five years I need all your help to find the rest of out people. Not only do we need to find them, but we need to bring them here. I also need all your help to train Emily. She must be ready for battle when we go back through the portal. Also is it possible for you guys to move closer to us?"
Gabriel steps forward and says," your majesty we know all about it the Dragon God has told us everything, and we would be honored to move closer to protect you and Emily. We are actually working on it now. But I do have one question the Dragon God wouldn't answer, will you allow us to bring our family with us when it's time to go?"
"Yes of course I will, they are your family's. I would never make you leave them behind. But we will have to keep them safe somehow, especially the children."
"Thank you your majesty, We really didn't want to leave them behind and we will keep them safe. But your majesty we must go, most of us work the night shifts."
" I completely understand. Thank you for coming. We will talk again soon. Be safe, be well."
After everyone left we cleaned up then went in and had lunch. All in all I think things went well. We will see what happens next.
