Chapter 28

    Ray- Hey are you okay?


    (Sofia is startled and makes an eep noise thinking Ray is about to hurt her, but Ray just backs off and says)


    Ray- That’s fine*puts feet on desk about to sleep/yawn*I won’t bite


    (Sofia looks at him in confusion)


    (Ends on Ray and Sofia sitting at their conjoined desk: Ray is sleeping and Sofia is listening to the teacher)


    /////////////////Dread-Head\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\


    (Open on a shot of Milenya walking down a hallway, stopping at the door of King Windholm and then knocking on it)


    King Windholm- *drinking some tea* Come in


    Milenya- *straight face* Good morning my King


    King Windholm- Good morning to you as well, take a seat


    (Milenya sits down with straight posture and a straight face)


    King Windholm- Would you like some tea?


    Milenya- Yes, thank you


    King Windholm- Marcus *snaps fingers*


    Marcus- Yes sire


    (Marcus gives Milenya a tea cup, a custard and pours her tea)


    Milenya- Thank you *sips tea*


    King Windholm- *stirs tea* So, how has Ray’s “integration” been going?


    Milenya- *puts down tea cup* Well his academics are in check, he’s very smart for someone his age considering he was born in the Bronze District


    King Windholm- How do you presume he got that way? *sips tea*


    Milenya- He told me it was because he just reads, I have seen his book collection from making my rounds and it looks like he stole quite a lot from those warehouses over the years


    King Windholm- Hm, What about his fighting ability?


    Milenya- While I wasn’t able to test it out myself, your son beat me to it and Mr.Fredrick gave an interesting remark


    King Windholm- Oh? And pray tell what did he say? *raises eyebrow*


    Milenya- Fredrick described it as “a respectable match between the 2”


    King Windholm- So William didn’t go overboard, that''s good. *sips more tea*


    Milenya- But


    King Windholm- *raises eyebrow* Hm?


    Milenya- Fredrick also claimed that Ray seemed to “exuberate some odd behavior” He didn’t go into details but the way he said it seems something came over Ray the way he described it it sounded as though he was possessed


    King Windholm- Hmm *rubs chin and leans forward*, I’ll have to ask William about that later, is there anything else that I need to know


    Milenya- He has been successfully dropped off at school with the note you asked me to give himThis story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.


    King Windholm- *sits back* Oh good, everything is going to plan


    Milenya- *concerned* My King, if you don’t mind me asking, What was in the letter


    King Windholm- *nonchalant* Oh just some orders to Jarvis about what to say at the orientation


    Milenya- *raises eyebrow* Like what?


    King Windholm- Oh, Just stuff about him being from the bronze district, that he’s “THE VAGRANT” and not to associate him with us, to them he’s just a “Denizen” or criminal that got lucky from “anonymous benefactor”


    (Milenya’s eyes furrow and sweat drops from her temple)


    Milenya- I understand the part about not associating him with us, about not wanting him to get special treatment, but why tell the whole school that he’s a “Denizen” and at worse a criminal


    King Windholm- *picks up tea cup and starts to stir it* Well our wielder has to go through some challenges along the way and if he can’t deal with some light bullying and petty squabbles then we might have to toughen him out another way


    (Milenya sighs)


    King Windholm- Anything else you want to bring to my attention


    Milenya- *getting up/dusts herself off* No sir, That is all the information I have for now


    King Windholm- Good, then you may be excused


    (Milenya leaves)


    Marcus- *picking up the tea cups* She sounded like she cared alot for “THE VAGRANT” didn’t she?


    King Windholm- *looking at the door* It seems she did *sips/gets up and sets the tea down* Well marcus what do we know about the “Shadow Cult’s” advances


    Marcus- *holding a tablet* Our officers haven’t been able to pick up anything it’s almost as if they had gone dark since that incident 2 years ago


    King Windholm- Hmm *thinks to himself for a bit* what has the king of “Tamasha” said about this


    Marcus- *has a sweat drop on his face* They have continued not interfering with any of the other nations except for Reino del Cráneo for they have been in constant commerce and have retained good relations with them as usual *not answering the question*


    King Windholm- *questioning* Ok but what have they said about the “Shadow Cult”?


    Marcus- Oh sorry they have said what they always have and I quote, “Not our fuckin problem”


    King Windholm- *chuckles* That king of theirs really is something else *hm* What about “Leviathan”


    Marcus- Uh *scrolls on the tablet* Well from the reports from Sir Jean, Queen Gena is investigating their recent incursions but says that “She doesn’t like to be told what to do especially by those Windholm bastards”


    King Windholm- *tick mark on head/pouring a new cup of tea* A bit rude if I do say so; she''s about as icy as her kingdom, hopefully Jean is doing well there *in head* we really need to repair some of our relations


    Marcus- *a little uncomfortable* Um, Would you like to know anything from Kingdoms “ Shānguó.” and “Reino del Cráneo”


    King Windholm- *sigh/wipes face* Yes if you may


    Marcus- *ahem* Well “ Shānguó.” has been fortifying their borders despite being the furthest away from the “Forbidden Half”, seems they don’t want to take any chances *looks over to King Windholm* Do you think they may be wary of us or the other Kingdoms?


    King Windholm- *2 fingers of one hand on temple* Perhaps but let’s just not push them seeing as it’s not affecting anyone and what about “Cráneo”?


    Marcus- Queen Zoraida has the same approach to the “Shadow Cult” as King Ajani does but she is willing to cooperate if things becomes dire enough as long as we stay on good terms with “Tamasha”


    King Windholm- *hm* With those 2 being so close if one isn’t our Ally the other one isn’t either


    Marcus- *sweats* Um sire please don’t try anything rash like last time because looking at our past encounter with “Tamasha”, we may have made our relation with “Cráneo” a bit unsavory as well


    King Windholm- *sigh/frustrated/rubbing forehead* You need not remind me of that embarrassing battle between me and that brat


    Marcus- Well you probably shouldn’t have tried to fight him


    King Windholm- *still frustrated* How would I have known he would be that powerful as he had just became king around that time *frustrated sigh*


    (King Windholm gets up and walks to his bed quarters)


    King Windholm- *holding head* Is that all Marcus?


    Marcus- *bowing* Yes sire


    King Windholm- Then I shall leave you to your duties *closes* door


    (Cut to Milenya walking down the hallway)


    Milenya- *in head/walking with hands together in front* What is the King’s game here? If Ray is tough enough to take the abuse that comes with being a “Denizen” and a criminal in the school then where will the King go from there to test him


    (Milenya looks up and puts hands hands behind her back)


    Milenya- Ah well, that’s too much to think about right now
