The moment she saw them, she started to laugh. “Mama says, there’s no one in the Jogarth now that’s a worthy opponent for us! Oh and we’ve had celebrations for the last twelve hours across our home worlds.“ Illia was about to speak when Fre stopped him. “Perhaps in the midst of YOUR celebrations, you, haven’t taken time, to browse the latest Globesat newscasts. Seems Princess Besise wiped out an entire fleet of yours, within the last 12 hours.”
Mawaena stared at him. That icy cold, fixed expression. She couldn't tell if he was telling the truth or not? He had as some of us, might have said, a 'Poker face'. She tried to get past them to get to a console to find out if he had been telling the truth? Panic in her eyes? Fre deliberately aided by Van Ea blocked her exit, shoving her around. “We’re also attacking your serfdoms and seizing lands from you including all of the benefits that gives us in plundering your resources. As for your mother, don’t worry, we’ll get round to your mother soon enough!
We’ll save her until last, before we take her head and enslave the rest of your people.” Shoving her to one side, her head striking the bulkhead. They walked off laughing. She rubbed her head, burst into tears. Somehow she knew that Fre was far too convincing to be telling anything but the truth. Claria and her brother Dramen came round the corner. “Mawaena.“ Claria hugged her “About to call a medisent to have her checked over?
“I’m fine! Just a bump.“ “They need teaching a lesson.“ Dramen interrupted. “Uh don’t like to tell you, but they already have, been taught a lesson!“ Claria rolled her eyes. “Well they need a lesson in manners.“ “That.“ Replied Dramen. “Depends on what Mawaena said to them in the first place!“
He didn’t finish as Claria scowled at him, grabbed Mawaena’s hand. “Not hanging around to listen to what else you have to say.“ Mawaena still rubbing her head they moved off away from him, quickening their pace, not wishing to hear any more from him! Dramen hissed after them. “See the truth hurts!“ “What hurts?” Ocasa had come around the corner with Delise and Ameryst in tow. Ah yes, a more than suitable distraction. “We just passed the Jogarth Kets looking pleased about something!”
Dramen started to tell them about Mawaena. “We’re going for a walk in the Collonades coming?” ”Oh good, we can find out if Fre was right, about the Vendaran forces being attacked.” “I’m not spending time watching Globecast reports.“ Delise murmured in agreement. “We could stop for some Frubu on the way there.” Dramen smiled “Who's paying?”
