The uppermost chamber of the castle was a large glass room that looks over the expansive grounds of the estate looking down on the large lawn and the droves of Tiko fruit trees and beyond that the large pine forests and then beyond that the snow capped Meomote mountains only one of the large ranges of mountains endemic to the planet of Zarthos. Zera sighed as the sun was coming over the mountains. She looked away from the window to see the council table with seating for nine. Two of which will be for Lady Zoatha and her husband the other two will be for the royal council made of the best and brightest of Orthos and soon the meeting will commence. It was then that Lady Zera Orthos felt a small thin hand on her shoulder she smiled and turned around to the big green, emerald eyes she knew so well “hello Dr. Lazra its been too long “ There came a response from a mature sounding, powerful female voice “yes my dear too long” Lazra bent down and gingerly kissed Zera before pulling back because Lazra placed here hand on the shorter womans chin with Zera blushing yellow.
Dr. Lazra was tall almost as tall as the lord consort and taller than Zera by far, she wore. a black military pea coat with a surgeon's waistcoat. Her face was more handsome than beautiful she had a dignified masculine roughness of life in a military family with medium length blond hair that fell over her shoulders naturally. The aera around her eyes and face looked older than she really was from her decades of living. She looked down ar her old friends who by contrast was prim and proper traditional female Zarthan attire. Zera regained her composure and said, “ah yes you are the new minister of medicine” Lazra nodded “yes Hazail retried last year and now im here to do my duty, and don’t think our previous relationship will affect my service” Zera nodded “i would not dream of it*
Nattlie and Sam walked through the castle halls they found it quite difficult to find were to go and the servant did not exactly give them directions to the council chambers. Nattlie smiled at Sam and said, “so do you think we are going the right way?” Sam shrugged and continued to hold her hand “not like we are in a rush or anything there not going to do anything without the Lady and her consort” Nat rolled her eyes when all of a sudden they heard footsteps behind them and all of sudden small arms threw themselves on her she then the heard the familiar female voice say “oh cousin you looks so beautiful, and your man looks so handsome I'm so jealous. Nat turned around to see her cousin Zora wearing another puffy blue wig. Behind here was a young Zarthan boy like all his age is he was very pale boarding on being white and like all Zarthan children, male. Nattalie smiled and looked at the boy “hey Zora who is your nervous friend?” Zora smiled and said “that is my younger brother Zolar, hes going to metamorphosize in about a month and he is a little nervous. Zolar shyly came in front of his sister and said nervously “I just wanted to know..... is it gonna hurt?” Nat bent down and stroked her cousins hair “I will not lie to you It will a bit, it feels strange in some ways its like your becoming a different person” the young boy looked down and said “but I don’t want to be a different person I just wanna be me” Nat smiles and hugged the young boy saying “whatever happens you will still be yourself just a different version of yourself, it's all part of the natural change, just remember who you used to be” Zolar smiled and said “I think I understand, thank you” Zora laughed and said “Lady of Orthos for only a few hours and already making a difference” Sam grabbed his partner by the waste and says “that is what she does best”
