~Tozu looked at his brother after the question he had asked. "In all honesty, I don't know why he decided to drop by again. Seems pointless, but the letter he sent made it seem important." He took out a letter and gave it to him. The letter actually said, "I will be coming soon for a very important invision I had." He shrugged as Vyis read the letter. "That's all."

~ He watched the creatures do their reanctment of what had happened. he looked at her. "I see, and Legnar already took care of the evil-doer by the looks of it. I am glad you are okay. But, sadly, the worse news are yet to come." Things were going to get bad and Blank really didn't want to do it but he had no choice. "are you ready to return to the palace. There are some news, it might be good or bad, depending on how looks at it. I won't force you to go back. You have suffered greatly. So I will wait for you to tell me when we should return." He sat down on a tree and waited for her.

Elena decided to get up and changed, she had felt her uncle's present with her sister's present and she knew they would be coming in soon. She wasn't sure why their uncle was here was good or not, but she did want to be presentable. Elena didn't want to be ruler, a negotiator was something she could excel at or even an army supervisor, but she was certain that was why he had come, she would lay her life on that bet.

She walked to the throne room, where any visitors would be taken to first and asked a footman to get some fruit and apple juice, to be brought to her saying please and thank you's to remove the horrible thought in the man's head. She waited for about 3 minutes when what she ordered came to her and she ate, quietly waiting for the rest of the scene to play out.

Celest crouched down, curling her tail around her in comfort. She shook her head. Shift and Mushai, both getting the upset vibes from their strange friend, screeched and growled. All three then got up and flew and bounded away. Celest went deeper into the woods, then stopped. She lay down. Today had gone down hill fast, and she was nto ready to go back into company. One of them could kidnap her again. Maybe it was all a plot. She shook her head. She was just frantic now. She snarled, and closed her eyes, laying her head down on her paws. Shift cuddled, whining, beside the leopard. He licked her ear comfortably, and then lay his own head down to watch. Mushai lay inbetween the furry bodies on top of their fur. She fluffed her feathers, then settled herself down.

Vyis' eyes quickly scanned over the letter before he looked back up at Tozu, "That's...Great." He sighed as he handed the letter back to him. "I guess I had better go get ready for him, Elena would chew me out if I didn't look 'presentable'" He said, rolling his eyes. He turned and started back towards the palace, looking up into the sky as he walked. "I guess this means I won't be tricking Celestia any time soon, with her being injured and all." He said to himself when he was far enough from Tozu for him not to hear, "And uncle's here, too? Gah, today is not my day..." He grumbled as he walked into the palace and headed up the steps, towards his room.

~ Tozu nodded at Vyis' response. He looked at the guardens. They looked peacful. But was it going to last long. There was something in the air that gave off a bad aura. Tozu sighed and went back inside. He wanted to prepare mentally for his uncles' arrival. He went inside and looked for everyone. Vyis was inside but where were the other three. He looked around. Celeste wasn't there. Legnar was not present either. Elena's location was a mystery to Tozu. It was the same as he started earlier that day.

Their uncle stood up and made his way to the palace. He would send for Celest later. She had to much on her mind and it was time to begin this.

Deciding to go out of his room for the moment and wander around to search the palace. He ignored most of the servants, although took note of most of them bowing in respect and addressing him properly. It was rare he ever did acknowledge most of the servants except if he needed something specific or if something was amiss, although he didn't object to them serving dinner or sometimes grabbing drinks for him.
Passing by Tozu, he raised an eyebrow at the boy, tapping him on the shoulder as he passed and moved to start walking towards the throne room.
"Let's go brother. If uncle's on his way, it's only best we meet him where he always heads first". He sounded less then enthusiastic about this visit, but he had never been an easy person to read.
He was the most reclusive of the royal family and arguably the least popular among the people: His aggressive nature and arrogance, combined with an appearance many believed to be 'monstrous' made many people terrified of him and meant he had few supporters. It was the main reason the people believed him unable to be king and that he wasn't to be trusted, although none denied his combat prowess.

Legnar often found himself at odds with their uncle due to his more arrogant and more aggressive approach to situations causing him to be lectured or belittled, making him rather annoyed. That, and he found his uncles ability very disconcerting: He feared the thought of someone knowing his fate before he did, and made him fear that what laid in store for him. Not only that, but to know that his life was going to play out a certain way scared him. That wasn't to say he didn't care for his uncle as he did his family as a whole, and was prepared to defend the man at even the slightest provocation as he was the rest of his family.
Opening the throne room, he spotted Elena and moved towards her."Hello sister, I see we're almost all here. Good, sooner this is over the better.." He noted Vyis' absence, although it was typical for the trickster to be the latest to gatherings. He moved to a nearby wall, standing against it with his arms crossed before emitting a sigh.

When Vyis reached his room, he shut the door and leaned against it. He was not looking forward to seeing Uncle Blank again, he found him very...Creepy. Not just his appearance, but also his power to see people's fates, it scared him. He quickly stood back up and put on his nicest clothes, since what he was wearing was covered in sap and dirt. After he got dressed, he left his room and almost ran into a servant as he rushed toward the throne room, where they normally met with uncle Blank. After they exchanged hurried apologies, Vyis headed into the room. He looked around the rather large room, and noticed that he and Celestia were the only ones not in place. Quickly he took his spot next to Tozu and nudged him lightly, "Hey, 'Zu. Have you heard anything about Celest? Is she any better?" He whispered, not wanting to draw attention to himself.

[scarydodo]

Elena nodded her head in Legnar's direction, "I know what you mean." She said in reply. Elena neither disliked her uncle or liked him for that matter. He didn't go out his way to be nice to her, and she didn't do the same. She stood up, gave her empty plate to the servant that stood near her. "He will be here once Celest arrives. She is in good health but her mind may be fragile. It could be a long visit." She told everyone.

Elena hated being centre of attention, but she knew her brothers and sisters needed to know about Celest. She looked down, her braid falling over her shoulder. "She really will be fine. She just needs some time, to get through this." She said repeating her self to remove the doubt she felt around the room.

celestia decided to get a group on herself and go to the castled. She sighed, then got up. She shook her broad head, and then shifted. Soon, her other favorite form, a wolf, stood in the cat's place. She was a large white wolf. She padded towards the castle, slowly, her feet plodding on. Shift plodded next to her, panting and smiling in a wolf's way, glad he had his wolf companion back! Mushai swooped in and rode on Celest's shoulders. They made it to the kingdom's doors in a matter of time.

Nodding her furry head to the gaurds who saluted her, Celest went into the castle. She lifted her face and sniffed the air. Everyone was in the throne room. She huffed a large breath. Shift and Mushai both squawked and rumbled a by, and hurried off to the kitchen to go get fed. Celest watched her partners go off, took a deep breath, and walked towards the throne room. She would stay in her animal form for now, for after what happened, she could run faster. She prowled in, shoulders rolling, as the guards opened the door for her with kind smiles. She took note of that, for she was always kind to the guards, sometimes leaving sweets for them when they worked long hours.

Walking in, she padded towards the wall opposite everyone, and hunched against the wall. She lay down with a large huff, and surveyed everyone in the room. Elana looked to be a little worried. Vyis as well, Tozu just like himself, as well as Legnra, leaning against the wall with a scowl on his face. Celest narrowed her eyes on all. She was getting antsy, after her experience earlier. She shook her head, but could not get suspicion out of her head. She waited for the Uncle to come in, for then she could relax. He was the only one she wholly trusted and loved.

~ "Let's go brother. If uncle's on his way, it's only best we meet him where he always heads first". Tozu nodded at Legnar. They both walked to the throne room. There they waited as their siblings made it in. One by one. Then he heard his sibling speak,"Hey, 'Zu. Have you heard anything about Celest? Is she any better?" Vyis whispered to him. Tozu in response shook his head. He knew nothing. Elena had been there most of the time and it seemed she too had a disliking to the uncle. Now all that was missing was Celest. At 10 minutes later she had walked in. Still in her animal form. Tozu walked up to her. "Hope you are okay now. Now we wait for uncle." He gave her a smile. He knew she felt nice sometimes around him.

~He looked at the five siblings from above where he stood. He was standing on the celiling. Appearently his shoes where magnetic. He stood there until they all showed up. Then spoke. "Hello my relatives." He spoke from the high altitude where his voice echoed. Of course he was up side down and part of his robe did lift up, but it was buttoned up so only a little bit of it was going towards gravity. Withought a smile he jumped from the ceiling all the way to the floor, with no pain.
