She yawned and Shiloh supported her as she leaned on her tiredly.  They didn''t talk much after that because Shiloh was falling asleep on her feet.  Shiloh picked her up and carried her the rest of the way.  As they lay snuggled up on Endermon''s bed, Shiloh''s thoughts wandered.


    They woke up to sunlight streaming through the windows.  As they stretched and woke up for the day, they noticed a tray of what could only be breakfast.  They lifted the lid and saw a ginormous spread.  Eggs, meat, bread, fruit, and for each type of food was a glass of a dark red liquid for Shiloh.


    They tucked in and had a great breakfast.  Then Endermon pushed a button and a servant  appeared.  She said a few words the servant disappeared.  A few minutes later a door opened up to a cloud of steam.  Endetmon took Shiloh''s hand and walked with her into the room.


    When they exited, they were clean and had fresh new clothes.  They left Endermon''s room and went to the garden where her parents usually went after breakfast.  When they got there they heard the sounds of a skirmish.


    They cautiously crept into the garden where they saw Endermon''s dad fighting a group of people.  They were about to go help when Shiloh grabbed Endermon''s hand and motioned towards the bushes.  She glanced over to where her mother was playing chess.


    Except all the pieces were surrounding one piece.  It dawned on Endermon what was happening.  Her mother was helping him stay sharp.  Each move she made, was translated to a figure that was attacking her father.


    And whether he won or simply deflected to fight someone else was answered by the movement on the board.  As Endermon sat down next to her mother, she motioned to the board and then to herself.


    Amused, her mother sat back and watched.  Not understanding chess, she caused thorny bushes to grow on the board.  This got a shout of surprise from her father.  With her mother''s guidance and her plant abilities they finally got her father to surrender.


    The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.


    He came over and was startled to see Endermon and Shiloh sitting with her mother.  He told her mother that the plants were a nice touch.  Her mother gestured to Endermon and said it was her idea.


    He beamed with pride and they talked battle tactics until a servant came and said two ambassadors were there to see Endermon and Shiloh.  They looked at Endermon''s parents to see they were as shocked as they were.


    They went to the front gate and were surprised to see Rutus and Dresden.  Endermon asked how they convinced everyone they were ambassadors.  Rutus answered before Dresden could say anything.  She simply said she didn''t let Dresden say anything.


    Endermon laughed and said they should meet her parents.  As they all went back to the garden, Shiloh stopped them and said they should probably wait, or go somewhere and send a servant to get them.


    Shiloh gave Endermon a meaningful look and Endeymon said they could go to the library.  There were couches in there.  Everyone agreed and Endermon led the way.  On the way there she saw a servant and told them she wanted to meet her parents in the library as soon as they were free.


    The servant nodded and then they went their separate ways.  As the group reclined and casually glanced at the various books and reading materials, Endermon''s parents came in looking unusually flustered and their clothes were crooked.


    Endermon leaned over to Shiloh and asked if they ever looked like that, Shiloh laughed and said most definitely.  Then Endeymon stood up and had the others do the same as she did a °45 bow, everyone copied her and her parents returned the gesture.


    Then they all sat.  Endermon said that she''d like to introduce her companions.  She pointed to Rutus and said she was quite possibly the greatest blacksmith she ever saw.  Rutus smiled and then pointed at Dresden and said due to his abilities, he was a very skilled hunter.
