At the secret Chamber~
"Let's play then,"
Valerian spoke as he sat down, and Cathain sat opposite him as they began to play, before Valerian suddenly posed a question in the middle of the game.
"So, within your circle, who corresponds to which chess piece?"
A look of puzzlement crossed Cathain's face as he took a moment to grasp his father's query. After pondering briefly, he answered.
"Duke Dalton and Duke Hertz would be the Rooks; their positions are solid and commanding as dukes, a major piece in the game exactly like their positions in real life."
Cathain elaborated as he captured his father's pieces, Valerian's smile widened, and he motioned for his son to continue as they continued to play.
