nodded at that.
"Vervaine will go." Because she looked
like a Regius . Crossing my arms over my
chest, I felt a frown form on my face as I watched the people
before me hard at work.
    "Conium is going through
the desert and the border that separates Altor territory from
Regius. But he has to be careful not to raise suspicion, so I need
your help in spreading the word to the
right people. " The Pallium
explained.
    "I will go to Reed."
Vervaine obeyed.
    "And Iso and I will help
you look everywhere else." Ivy said softly, wrapping an arm around
her cousin's waist and trying to offer her comfort that
way.
    "I need Iso to find his
brother." Galaxi dared Iso to protest when it looked like he was
going to. "Juglan isn't answering Flux's summons. It means the
truce has been tainted and he may have turned on us. The only
person Isa may not kill instantly is Iso. And Isa is our best bet
since he's Juglan's first."
    "I'm sorry to remind you
that my relationship with Isa is not a stable one." Iso cursed
then. "I can try." Kicking the sand beneath his foot, he turned and
started walking away. "But you fucking owe me, Galaxi!" Everyone
cringed when he slammed the door to his quarters loudly.
    "Thank you for pissing off
my students." Iris handed Anemone over to Caltha, who seemed to
relax instantly when he held the child. "With current
circumstances, that is exactly what I needed." Sarcasm was an interesting color
on Iris.
    "Forgive me for lacking
tact." Galaxi responded. "But of all people, I thought you'd
understand what it feels like when you lose someone but know they
aren't yet forsaken."
    My mouth parted and my eyes
widened comically in shock when suddenly Ilex was forced to jump
forward and hold Iris back from punching Galaxi.
    "You did not just go there,
Pallium." Ilex gritted out, mutely gesturing for Caltha to take
Iris and Anemone elsewhere. He waited for them to be out of sight
to continue. "You'll get our help because we are as concerned as
you are, but hold your emotions in check, Galaxi, or you'll lose
friends in the process."
    I saw her jaw tighten
before she nodded reluctantly. "Very well. Tell Iris to move
Anemone to Iron Island. It's the only region that isn't labeled a
hot zone." Galaxi walked away, Ivy and Vervaine following her and
my eyes trailed after them. I saw that Dandelion and Jatrop had
decided to pretend none of this was happening and continued on
peacefully with their breakfast.
    "I will tell her you care."
Ilex rolled his eyes after Galaxi before turning and followed his
partner. "Don't you think you're going to get away with this. The
moment Vervaine comes back from her mission, we are going to
dissect the problem that is-" He grimaced, waving a flippant hand
at me entirely. "You." He walked off this time and Datura and I
allowed some silence to drag out before we looked around us.
Everyone with the exception of the Jansen's had gone to handle the
issue of the missing Prince.
    "What happened?" I asked,
feeling utterly dumbfounded.
    Datura shrugged. "Another
boring day at the Coliseum." Reaching over, he took my hand in his.
"Come on, let’s hide in a room until everyone that has to go, has
gone."

Chapter 6
Galax Kaminski
    Raising an eyebrow, Galax
gazed over at the domineering presence of the Coliseum in the
moonlit meadows, the stone building so tall, its shadows covered
him and Isa even at the distance they were located. Altors always
had this annoying need to overcompensate. They were like arrogant
children that took on more responsibility than they could handle.
Everything they did was supposedly for the greater good and nobody
could argue because the only people who dared were the Regius, and
the Regius, in the Altors eyes, suffered from a God complex. When
would either race see that neither of them are what Zinc
needs?
    The Regius would rob this
land of its riches in a matter of years, killing it without
flourish, offering up the people before they were affected by their
own
