The throne room doors were open for her and Winter consciously walked in her white hair sweeping the ground. There were many soldiers, about a count of twenty. Although their amor were different from the other soldiers which she guessed were of a higher rank for them to be in the throne room. There were six older men who wore white dresses and they had seats beside the king. They were few other people standing not far from the king in front of a wide table made of rock, they were putting on velvet red robes.
The whole room fell silent when winter came in, her white dress which swept the floor was the only thing that gave a hint of sound in the whole of the throne room. She walked pass the guards until she stood in front of the king and the six elders.
" Have I done any wrong to you king Gabriel or the kingdom that you summon me to your room filled with soldiers? ".
" No my dear, infact I summoned you for a proposal ".
" I need hear it then " Winter replied.
" I'll hit the nail seeing as time slowly leaves our hands into the hands of our enemies ".
" Humble king I do not have enemies ".
" Sorry then I need count my words next time". The king apologized.
" Go on ". Winter said to the king.
" I am sad to announce there would be a war between the Kingdom of Arish and Garistona...".
" I do not see how it concerns me ". Winter raised her chin cutting the king short, making everyone in the throne room murmur to themselves.
" It should concern you ". Came a voice from behind.
Winter knew that voice behind the loudest noise. She turned her back only to see Morbius walk in with Renoe. She felt something move in her tummy as her hands grew cold. The whole room fell silent.
" You are the peace keeper the prophecy promised us, the last piece that binds ". Morbius came to were she stood, standing in front of her. leaned in and whispered into her ears. " Trust me... listen to the King ". Morbius stood straight and gave the king a nod and then stood besides Winter.
" The Kingdom is in need of your help Winter. Our enemies has aligned with our rivals the kingdom of Eirhdah and we fear we will be gravely out numbered ".
Winter looked at Morbius and then to the King. " What do you need ".
" We need Oreb's alliance to fight alongside us...".
" Do you know the weight of what you ask of me ".
" I see no harm in it ".
" The alliance to fight is not mine to give ".
The king looked to Morbius in confusion, And Winter stared right at the king not even blinking for a second.
" Sire am afraid that you may not like what will come next ". Morbius said to the King.
" Who then is it to give? ". The king asked Winter.
" The true ruler of Oreb...". Winter paused and saw as anticipation and fear of the unknown shook the King and everyone in the room except Morbius. "... my mother".
The king looked once more to Morbius and Morbius gave him a look that told him who Winter's mother was. The king opened his eyes wide in shock.
Winter looked at them both, not until the King looked to his son Renoe. There was something Morbius still had to tell her.

" I see that you have lost your mind Winter". Antana roared.
" Mother is this not madness, you crave for enmity when there is hope for peace". Winter answered back.
" They seek no peace, they only fear you and want to be on the safer side". Antana placed her hands aggressively on Winter trying to make her see reason. " Ánoixe ta mátia sou koritsáki mu ". [ open your eyes my little girl ].
" Aftós den eínai árketa Kalós logós mama ". winter replied in distress.
Antana looked at Winter releasing the frown on her face and fell silent for minutes....
