Note: Unlike other times, this return to Athenia will not be a resting phase. A lot will happen and I mean A LOT!!
As Queen Viola nurtured her belly and the child within, the king and the others discussed the grand welcome of the soldiers. Six months away from their homeland, some from many different cities, even kingdoms and species. Yet equal in the eyes of the protected, the party planned to welcome the champions with open arms. But of course, not everyone thinks the same…
"A waste of good gold, I tell you…" Scoffing at the suggestion from both centaurian women, Amelia and Ophelia, the Mistress rolled her eyes and turned to the king. Crossing her legs, she leered at him hard. "One welcome precedes another. How many wars do you think we're bound to fight? Will you celebrate every small victory? Award them the same generosity? Might as well be flushing gold down the latrines, and for my liking, we're spent more than enough on this war–on these people already."
