Inhumans; A Day as A Royal
8/19/1945, The Royal Palace, Attilan
The Royal Family had been eating together, a custom that had been discovered by Maximus and Triton, “So then, how have things been since I’ve been gone? I’ve been so focused on just… sleeping, that I didn’t see.” he said and hearing that, Crystal spoke first, “First off, we had to develop some more security as a few invaders had come here and attempted to take our resources.”
That made the man a bit more worried by that as they saw that there was a look which made the man curious by that before they started to calm down at the moment as Medusalith spoke,”There will be more dangers to come and we will need to watch land, sea and air, such as Submera.” Medusalith told him and hearing that, The Prince had smiled now, “I would be happy to do as much.” he told them.

As Triton had left to leave them, Gorgon had gotten up and stretched now, “I better get back to the Guard, someone’s gotta save them from Mesili’s ‘training’.” he said, making Crystal laugh at that as they started to get up and move, “Lockjaw and I will be seeing Maximus!” she told them while they saw that there was just Karnak and the others that were left now as they had wondered what the others would do.
Meanwhile, the King stood up now and as he looked around, the man started to walk towards the Throne Room and as he did so, Blackagar had started to think on what he was going to do as the King began to think, at least until they saw that he had wandered towards the halls that had the isolation chambers, the same ones that he had been raised in, where their most dangerous were held.
Taking a breath, he went to enter his old chamber, it was still the same as he left it, just like he had ordered whenever he needed to just take a break, to collect himself now, taking a moment to relax where no one else would be harmed, where he had complete control of what would go one and if need be where he would speak without any worry of what might happen.
As The King of The Inhumans had recalled that Sterilon had told them before he had taken that self–imposed exile, he had started to feel that there was something which had hurt his brain, he started to recalling how he had felt… different before something which made the king curious on how he only felt it here, where nothing could come in and nothing could go out.

Triton had started to enter his home and looked around with some worry now, looking at everything now and as he did so, the Inhuman was getting more and more worried as he didn’t see Codri before noticing that there was an Atlantean there, “Who the Hell are you?!” the big man covered in tattoos, seeing them, Triton got furious as he had drawn his Kopis, “Where’s Codri?!” he questioned.
That made The Atlantean glare towards him before noticing his appearance, “You’re Triton, right?” he asked, making the Prince confused, “Who are you?” he asked as The Atlantean calmed down, putting the macuahuitl he had hidden behind his back down, “I’m Staec, Codri’s brother.” he had explained, making Triton confused, “She never mentioned a brother.” he said towards him.
And that made Staec laugh, “I’d expect as much, she was never a fan of her Sharka brother.” he said and hearing that, Triton had gotten a bit more caution now, recalling the Sharka as he had looked towards the door, “CODRI! The Home Owner is here!!!” he shouted and hearing that, there was a tumble before The woman came out with a smile, “Triton!” she said with a grin.
The two of them went to embrace now as her large brother sat down with a chuckle, playing with a bone needle to mark his skin with some more tattoos now, finishing a bracelet of shark teeth on his right wrist now and as he made a sharp whistle, “Oi! Are you done getting frisky or what?” he asked, making Triton get a bit embarrassed while Codri glared at her brother.
“Staec, if you don’t want to watch, then get the hell out of here!” she snapped and hearing that, the man grinned while Triton looked, “Are The Sharka taking over Submera?” he asked and hearing that, Staec shook his head, “I’m here to watch The Rogue Fangs, not ‘take over’.” he said, making Triton even more confused, “Who are The Rogue Fangs?” he asked of them.
That made the two look before Codri sigh, “During the pinkling war, some Sharka decided that it was too troublesome to listen to Attuma and used the opportunity to create their own tribe.” She said, “They usually roam fallen Lemurian lands and Submera, treating it like a haven for pirates!” she snapped, making Staec get up now to grab his macuahuitl, “Attuma sent me here to watch.”
That made the prince pause, recalling when he met the young leader of The Sharka and was a bit more worried now by that as he took a deep breath, “What exactly are they doing?” Triton asked, hearing that, the two of them pointed towards the outside now and that was when they saw that there was a fortress that was built up now and making The Inhuman a bit more nervous.
“I need to–” “Tell your family? I’ll send a message.” Codri told him as he went to look in confusion while she had opened a device that was there, “Maximus had sent this to us, to warn of any coming danger.” she told the man, making him confused by the prediction that had been made by him as The Prince taken it and then went to speak, “This is Price Triton, and I have a message about The Sharka.”

8/19/1945, The Sub–City, Attilan
Maximus had been walking, looking around at it all before he saw that Lockjaw and Crystalia had approached them now, “Maximus!” Crystalia had said, making the man smile as he walked over towards them, “Crystal, it’s good to see you.” he said, going to hug her while Lockjaw had watched, growling towards him now as Maximus approached, “Lockjaw–!” “It’s fine.” Maximus said.
“He probably still smells what I did back on the battlefield.” he lied, recalling that Alveus said that it wouldn’t affect animals, “So then, what brings you to my station?” he said and hearing that, the group looked towards the area where The Alphans had seemed, calm, not disorganized, and they didn’t have any armbands like before now, “We wanted to see how you were doing, cousin.” Crystalia had told him.
That made Maximus smile now as he watched them and how they moved, “Well… I’m fine, Karnak and Gorgon with Minxi come here every once in a while, they are teaching the Alphans that want to learn, but otherwise, things are calm under my watch.” he said, the Alphans all seeming to practice roles now which was making the princess a bit more worried at the sight.
“Are they–?” “They’re fine, they’re learning how to be workers, only this time, the three of them are trying to give them wages, not Alphan slavery.” he explained, making the girl glad for that before they saw how there was a sort of… not a anger but instead it seemed more like they had reached a sort of training center now instead now which was making her curious.
“They’re training everyone here to… work? Not be people?” she asked, thinking that confusing, “They’re training them to develop a life where they can be a part of Attilan instead of serving Attilan.” he continued with the Princess a more curious by that before they started to move towards them, “Greetings, Princess.” one of them said, “My name is B–29.” they said towards her.
Seeing that, she smiled before offering her hand, seeing that, B–29 had seemed a bit spooked before he went and taken it, “It’s nice to meet you, B–29.” Crystal hd told them, making the Alphan and the others start to smile at that as they proceeded to move towards their lessons, “This operation is pretty beautiful.” she stated towards him now as Maximus smiled as well, seeing everything there.
He smiled at her statement before they had started to walk, “So then, what should we do first?” he asked, making the Princess think before smiling, “How about we see how their youngest are treated?” she asked, knowing they had no children, Maximus nodded at that before they had started to move now, all of them watching for them, making sure that neither one was aware of The Worms watching as well.

Medusalith with Minxi, Marista and Elejea had been helping her with the usual issues that had been presented and as she looked at them, Marista had spoken, “Are you alright?” she asked and looking towards them, confused, “I’m sorry?” she asked The Empath, “You had seemed to be upset by something, what is it?” she asked as Minxi and Elejea looked as well.
“I think… I think that something’s happened to Sterilon, and Maximus.” she said towards them, making the three start to think on that there was something that was making the city seem, seem wrong now, it was concerning to her and she wanted to find out what it was, taking a breath right about now, Medusalith looked to each, “Marista, you are on Maximus Sterilon, in case either’s ability is active.” she said.
“Elejea, who are to stay with me, Minxi, I want you to observe the City, everything that you can find, everything.” she had told him and hearing that, the three handmaidens had nodded, they had known their roles and they were not going to stray now, so her two spies and her shield had gotten to work, all of them now going to do what they were ordered.
Elejea staying near her right now and as she did so, The two of them looked down below towards the good, the bad, everything that was a part of Attilan now, “Elejea.” Medusa told her, “We can’t trust Maximus or anyone close to him, make sure that a shield is up when we’re alone with them.” she advised and so Elejea nodded, “Yes, Princess.” The Handmaiden said as both got to work.
As the two handmaidens had walked, Minxi had went to leap onto the ledge of the balcony, looking towards the sky and seeing that there was a bird that was nearby she started to get the traits of, “Have fun, Marista!” she shouted, going and leaping off now, becoming like the bird and flying now as Marista sighed, deciding on a more calm route to walk downwards right now.

8/19/1945, Sterilon’s Residence, Residential Area
Marista had walked in now and as she had looked around at all of it, The Handmaiden had put a sense of calm everywhere right about now and as she had looked at the scene around her, Marista saw that there was a metal puppet that was there and seeing that, the woman had looked at the design and saw that it had no power source at all,instead looking like it was powered by.
Thinking, Marista had started to use her empathy now and as she had tried to use her own abilities on it, the most basic, fight or flight, she saw that it was starting to move, appearing to panic at the moment now as she saw that there was a panic now which had made the woman start to use her abilities to calm now and see that it was seeming to act more like a curious child now.
Thinking now, Marista had went and sent a thought, for it to run towards its parent, its creator, reacting now, the being had started to move towards a sealed door now, settling and sitting with its back towards the sphere and seeing that, Marista had tried to send her own message now and as she tried a voice spoke, “Leave me alone.” The voice of Sterilon had said towards her.
The force of it almost knocking her back now in shock right now as Marista had taken a breath, “Then may I join you?” She asked, making the voice grow silent right about now before there was a sort of calm now which had made the woman nod as she meditated, trying to find out what exactly was going on, trying to see what kind of problems had been done as she felt like a worm was around her now.

8/19/1945, Amakitsu Residence, Residential Area
Kitsu had been getting ready for the posting when she saw that there was a Minxi at her window, “Minxi?” she asked, making the woman grin, picking at some of the bugs that were there before she had begun to morph back into her true self, “Sorry, I just wanted to see how you’ve been doing, have Auran and Maximus finally gotten started on making you grandchildren?” she asked.
That made Kitsu scowl, “A part of me wishes that the two of them would just get on with it, the other wonders what had happened to my daughter.” she said, making Minxi raise an eyebrow now as she sat beside her, “Go on.” The girl said, making Kitsu sigh, “It’s like… as if my daughter has had a fake personality placed on her own.” she said, making Minxi confused by that.
“Almost the same, but there are changes.” Kitsu told her, thinking right about now before Minxi spoke, “Maybe it’s due to the travels she had?” She said, almost surprised by her words and how they came out, “I thought the same, but every once in awhile, when she is somewhere high or near the sea, she starts to scratch herself, as if she was having an allergy to something.” she told Minxi.
That made the girl raise an eyebrow, even more confused by that as Kitsu sighed, “All I know is that today is another day, besides, I might just be imagining it.” she told Minxi, but as she had thought, the woman started to think that there was something which was making Minxi wonder how many others had been affected, and it was something that she would have to report.

8/19/1945, Guardsmen Barracks, Attilan
Gorgon had walked in and as he did so, The Inhuman saw that Myrra and Mesili had been talking to each other, looking like they were having a deep conversation which was making Gorgon a bit more curious by that before he had begun to split, watching him right now as he looked towards the Guardsmen, “Alright, ATEN–SHUN!” He shouted, liking the sound of it.
They all started to get up and were smiling towards him at the moment as The Inhumans had been at attention now while he walked amongst them, “So then! We’re going to stray from Mesili’s usual Hell and play a war game!” he shouted and hearing that, they all started to get a bit nervous as he turned towards another of them, “Vulgarok! Set up a scene that one of the scouts gave us!”
Hearing that, the telekinetic had started to move the cube–like stones that were there to change and alter the landscape there now, “The first move is to capture the target!” he shouted, “They and their defenders will try to stop you! Make sure that they don’t win!” he snapped, making one of the new Guard speak, “Whose the target?” he asked, making Gorgon grin, “Me.” Mesili told them, making the group get spooked.
That make Myrra smile at the moment as she went to stand beside her, “I’ll be happy to join as well.” she told them, making the group get a bit more relieved at that as they knew that there was a few that knew how she liked to be a bit softer when she was around as Mesili grabbed her by the waist and proceeded to leap upwards, all of them knowing their roles, they had no need for words.
Moving with speed, the two squadrons had waited as they saw how the telekinetic split them apart and made sure that they were all apart, seeing that, their leaders gave the signal and now they moved, each one of them knowing the skills of the others and was not willing to be taken down by the others just yet, they had each went to move with strength and efficiency.
That was at least until they saw that there was Myrra standing before them with a smile, “Hello, everyone.” she told them with a smile, going and getting into a fighting stance now, she smiled, “I recommend that you be afraid.” she told them, making the group confused at why they would be scared, dropping their guard right now at the sight of her, “After all, I’m just the bait.” she told the group now.
Hearing that, they looked upwards and now were in shock, going and trying to face them when bubbles of energy and flames of power had shot down, bathing them and capturing most of thr group as they saw that there was a disadvantage, “Good work, team!” Mesili had shouted towards the group as they saw that a speedster and one of the strong ones had bee waiting.
“Of course you used Myrra as bait.” Gorgon said towards her, “Was I not supposed to?” she asked with a cocky grin now, making the man glare, “Myrra–” “I know, I’m out.” she said, walking away now and as she had done so, both Mesili and Gorgon watched, “Alright then, team, you’re out.” she told them, making the group look in confusion towards her now.
“None of you have the skill to take down Gorgon, so I’ll do it myself.” Mesili told them, making the group grumble but nod as they had each went and walked away, as thry had done so, thr couple had squared off against each other now, both of them dropping their weapons now as they had readied their fists now and approached each other now to attack them.
Gorgon and Mesili had both thrown a fist towards the mask that she wore, shattering it, but Mesili had only grinned wider now who went to punch him in the guy now, both of them grinning wider and wider right now as the pair of Gorgons went to fight, making the group watching sigh as they knew what was going on right now and hoped they both would keep their clothes on at least.

The observers had been looking at the latest reports from the data when there was something that made the pair of them look with some worry and some fascination at the sight and as they looked at the data that was there and seen that there was a… “What is that?” one of the observers had asked, both looking to see what exactly it was, “It’s a… I think that’s a tree.”
They watched and saw how the tree had started to move upwards now, seeming to be propelled to the skies and the very sight was making them shocked, it wasn’t Kree, it wasn’t Utopian, it was something that they had no prior knowledge of at all, and the idea of that was making the two of them worried at why it was there and hot it even got into the air now.
“We must report this to the King.” the other said, both in agreement with that as they recorded everything that they could of the flight plan and the design of the vessel was making them and all others that were in sight worried at what this flying tree could entail for them in the future right about now as they started to look over and notice how it left pollen in its wake.

8/20/1945, The Royal Palace, Attilan
The Royal Family had been at the table right now and as they each looked over them all, the group had been relived and glad at their time with each other before seeing how the observers had been looking at the group nervous, “Speak.” Medusalith said, making one of them take a breath as they had moved and showed them images, images of a tree which was making them surprised by the sight of it.
“It is a tree.” Gorgon said with the other confused as well, all but Maximus and Karnak. “It’s a vessel, to the stars.” the wise man said to them, making the group look towards the sight right now as they had another thought, “Who does the vessel belong to?” Crystalia had asked, making the Observers shake their heads, “We have no knowledge of that.” one said.
“Then we must prepare, for both familiar and stranger foes that may come our way.” Maximus told them, making the group all agree with that, each of them nervous and also prepared for what would come their way now, “We best begin preparations then.” Gorgon told them as each of them had begun to get to work on whatever might be coming back to Earth.
