At this tense moment they were interrupted by a call of "Lord Reaibn!" A
courtier ran into the graveyard, puffing from the exertion.
"Yes, what is it?" Reaibn asked. "Word has come that Aqualaria has invaded!" "What? Just because I sent their ambassador back to them with his head transformed into that of a pig?

They seem to be several thousand strong. At their head is a young fair-haired woman." "That would be my younger sister, Belinda," Astra said.
