The whole room busted out in laughter.
"Thanks Oli, I think we needed that to cut the tension" Emmery said.
"I've never met the witches before, I didn't even know they existed like that!" Carter admitted
"It's a well guarded secret. Now let's move to my office since it's closer than the kings. We have much to discuss between the inevitable impending war."
"And our dear sister wedding" Alderic stood up from his place on the ground.
"With all the bad, it will be good to have a celebration of sorts, Elysium will unite bringing in a new era." He said "I've never been more proud to have you as my baby sister Riri."
Walking over to me he picked me up and a big hug swinging me around like I'm a child again. It felt good to be protected by him. By all of them. The room was over flowing with love.

Gathering themselves they leave the observatory and head into the Queen Andromedas office. Where she asked one her maids to bring in refreshments and to send away the staff after.

Sitting next to Carter and Theo we all ready ourselves for this conversation.
"The witches gave us some clarifications I feel we all needed." The queen started "we will have to find you a more suitable necromancy tutor. Alderic is right, we also need to plan for a wedding. I'll talk with Sera's mother about her taking time from the season of the hunt, to aid in wedding plans."
"So we are planning a wedding and a war at the same time…" i chuckle a bit "that doesn't sound complicated at all"
The room chuckles with me.
"Anyways are we going to talk about this whole death entity netherworld shit those witches said or what?" Theo said "or are we gonna sit and talk wedding details. Cause I for one need to know what to do to protect my match"
Orion: are you worried about me?
Theo: are you seriously asking me that?
Orion: maybe?
Theo: don't make me take you back to
our room.
Orion: is that a promise?
Theo: stop it right now
Orion: or what?
"Are you two finished with your private conversation, may I continue? Or shall we wait a bit longer?" My mother said shrewdly
"We will find you a better magic teacher like I was saying, and we will have to find ways to test your bond and strengthen it. From what the Sisters" my mother emphasized "had said you are her tether to this world. You are her life line. Which is why life can take death." My mother conitues "Orion you have so much that was just piled on your plate. Do you think you can handle it?
"Do you think I have a choice?"
