Toole shook his head, but his eyes lit with hope. "I cannot use it, its keyed to your touch from you brought it out of the box. However, ask it to ask Hikari, to ask my father where it is. Catch all that, i kind of sounded quick explaining that." Toole settled down and faced Ailes.

she pulls her hands back so the panda was level with her face. Panda turns around and faces her with a slight smile. they nuzzle noses and she asks, "i dont know what this all means, but can you ask Hikari to ask Lord Toleranth where he put the cure for Toole's illness?"
Panda sat back down and stared at her blankly, then politely nodded, "Miss Hikari, Could you ask Master Toleranth if he can direct us to Toole's potion, please?"

There is no need to ask him, i was present when he hid it, the potion is underneath the floorboards underneath his desk to the far side of the room from the door.
Tolly glanced down at the table hearing what was asked, and smiled softly thanking Ailes with a small silent prayer.

"Thank you, miss Hikari!" Panda looks at Ailes, "It's in the floorboards under Master Toleranth's desk on the far side of the room."
Ailes kisses pandas head and tucks him back in her dress pocket. She dashes over there and crawls under the desk. After a moment of struggling with the damn board she manages to pry it free. Wrapped in a black velvet cloth was the vial containing the antidote. She brings it over to Toole, "here..."

Toole took it from her, and it would be so easy to smash itright now and destory all hope of being saved. He just looked at Ailes for what seemed like forever, thinking about what Akuma said earlier, and with a sigh he drank it alll down.
He coughs and sputters sparks; "ugggh, awful taste, but i guess I'll live now. However I need to sleep, still wish to reamin with me?"
Toole moved back over to the pile of pillow moving them about the make it more comfortable for him again.

Ailes smiled and struggled back to her place next to Toole, where she fell back asleep.
Just as Toole was about to fall into a deep sleep Akuma's voice echoed again, "good boy."

Lucid had been lost the past few days, or weeks. he couldn't remember. his mind went when Akuma died suddenly and Ailes and Toole had disappeared.
was this all a dream? he thought to himself. in his confusion he simply went to his home in Enthelda. but he didnt get much time to recover because his father was called to Rodasia because some one new was to take the throne. his father also used these situations to kiss up to Entheldas leader Elenath.
and so here he was sitting in a room of richmen and royals bickering over who will take the crown next.
desperate to mope he tells his father he is going to use the bath room.
he quietly leaves to find a hallway and cry in.
"where did all those dragons come from? and what happened to Ailes and Toole? did Akuma really die?" he had asked himself these questions a dozen times and he couldn't come up with any answers.

The sounds of feet hitting stone in a angry pace neared Lucid. in the dark torchlight a woman was approaching, her face lit up as she passed a torch and then gone as she passed intot he dim part of the hallway. the rattling of metal and creaking of leather. But still the angry tone of her feet striking the stone floor grew louder.
Sorrow turned her head to see Lucid there, and turned back to keep going, but she brought her foot down hard to stop looking back. "lucid?" Her tone started angry, but ended in surprise. She looked angry at first but her entire body language changed to geuine surprise to see the fruitbat she had observed on Earth.

Sorrow's face flashed in Lucid's mind. he remembered her from the battle with Toole. maybe it wasnt all a dream. he looked at her with his broken eyes. his emotionless face damp with tears. he replys weakly,"yes?"

Sorrow rolled her eyes; "If you seek answers, have one of those pathetic guards of this castle take you to Tolly's house and ask Ailes personally. I have business here to attend to, because someone just sent me on a errand to get me out of the way. I don't like trickery."
Sorrow turned her head and walked on, the guard at the door leveling her spear to point at her. 'You cannot pass Sorrow, we have strict orders from our lord that you are to not be permitted inside during the talks."
----------------------
The doors opened with some force and the two guards were picking themselves up groaning a bit. The king stood up again looking rather angry, but his face dissolved into a fit of painful coughing. Tolly just groaned looking away, wishing at this point he could plug his ears, because Merril and Sorrow would no doubt get into it shortly.
Sorrow stepped in and surveyed the crowd; "For something as important as this, i guess my words have no place here, but since trickery was involved to make sure i wouldn't be here i have a few to share now. I would choose a dragon over a murdering mistress." Merril shot to her feet yelling in outrage; "How dare you speak such baseless lies in here Sorrow, if there is a problem why don't you discuss it with me after we are through here." Sorrow laughed; "The only thing we have to discuss is killing each other." Merril didn't speak to Sorrow but to the gathering as a whole. "This is what we face, this predjudice, and coming from no less then the lap dog of Lord Toleranth himself."
Tolly lifted his head staring at Merril, his expression turning dark. However, Sorrow countered rather quickly moving forward only to be stopped by the two guards who crossped the spears to stop her advance any deeper intot he room. "Lap dog you say, hardly, you don't now anything so quit speculating." Merril humphed moving from behidn the table, her men made the move to follow but she head up her good hand and they stayed put lowering their heads again. "Speculation seems to be all you have unless you have evidence against me, so why don't you run along and play with your butterknives while the grown ups finish thier business."
The king was beyond angry now and his jewel was glowing brightly and the fire erupted between the two. "I will not have you fighting in my castle, the next person who speaks ill of the other will spend the night in my dungeons." He had to pause to catch his breath; "What did you really come in here for Sorrow, besides to disrupt my proceedings and make a fool of yourself in front of every leader in the five realms."
Sorrow smirked her eyes not leaving Merrils, Merils looked back just as intently. "I wish to add my name in for consideration as possible queen." Merril exploded; 'I will not bow to the likes of you, i would rather burn this castle to the ground then ever serve a woman so decietful."
Tolly shook his head and slammed hi hand on the table. "Sit down and shut up, and now that you are in the race Sorrow. What do you plan to do about Merrils threat should you get leadership of Arynia?" Sorrow humphed; "The only solution that would make her happy, split Arynia in two and let her rule the delta and I the golden earth." There was much talk among the kings court held in whispers.

Tolly turned to answer the question; "Toole originally began to take matters towards succeeding his Lordship, but after an arguement with me and growing depression at the advancement of a illness that was soon to claim his life he withdrew rather then leave the throne mid term. This was done in confidence in the Kings presence, i only have learned of it during the final selection meeting held by Arynia's current king."
Sorrow laughed; "Toole came to face the facts Toleranth, he was living on borrowed time, and couldn't be what he thought you wanted him to be. He left to go die ashamed that his whole life he spent living in the shadow of your greatness, and the opportunity to exceed your greatness presented itself too late."
The king sat down: "I will not allow you to make your case for throne Sorrow. The choices have been made, and from those choices only two remain. I will not see Arynia split in the wake of my life, and that is what you intened to do in order to appease a fraction of the whole of Arynia's population. I see nothing but distraction coming from your presence here, and your ordered to leave or i will have you thrown into the dungeons until the proceedings are over."
Sorrow leaned into the spear looking directly at her soverign king; "If the choice is Merril, then you best sign the order for my execution with the dying breath, because if not my dedication to killing her will begin."
"Take her to the dungeons..." The guards moved forward pushing Sorrow towards the door. they closed behind them and the rom was quiet once again. Merril smiled and gracefully took her seat behind her table.

Chrono Abyss, Lord of the Abyss, walks into the throne room with his pupil, Akuma Kessaku. He takes a seat between Elenath and Elda, And Akuma sits across the table from him. The room was filled with an awkward silence, so Chrono made the first move, "Sorry I'm late, i was teaching Akuma how to wield the scythe."

The king smiled; "I am always very happy to host such guests, and he turns to Akuma. "Welcome to Arynia, unfortunately our choices are limited between Lord Toleranth, and Mistress Merril of the lighting demon tribes."
------------------
Toole opened the door to the soft knock and took the tray from the servant. He brought the laden tray of waffles and pancakes in a set them down, and taking the pitcher of tea he poured two mugs.
Toole reached over and shook Ailes lightly. "Wake up dear, i have brought you breakfast and good news."

Akuma nods, accepting the Kings welcome. while Chrono looks at Toleranth, "you're related to that dragon boy aren't you?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ailes squirms around, then stretches and groans, "whats up?" she opens one eye and rubs the other.
