"Kana!" Tilia wagged her tail happily as she saw Kana and Creige suddenly appear in the middle of the throne room during a court session.
"Tilia!" Kana smiled. She wanted to fluff Tilia's tail, but she restrained herself. Instead, she focused on Claine. "Your Majesty, I have come to ask for your assistance."
"Oh?" Claine knew with how Kana was talking, whatever was going on was going to be serious. "You can ask me whatever you want. With all the help you have given me and my kingdom, If I can help you, I will."
"It's like this…." Kana went ahead and explained everything from start to end. The more Kana said, the paler Claine became. Almost all the rulers in the world knew about the desolate race. They just choose to ignore them. It was better to not interact with them than to anger them. But from what Kana was saying, there might be war… No, a blood bath on the way.
"I see… This is definitely a difficult issue, and even if we were to win this war, we would lose many lives. But fighting to the death, knowing you were trying to protect your homeland, is better than dying without trying. If we can get the other countries of the world to assist, we may be able to hold them off. But if their deities show up, I'm afraid our chances of winning arm slim..." Claine did not have a good feeling about this upcoming war because he knew it would not be an easy fight if they wished to win.
"As long as you are willing to help. It would be best to set up a teleport point between the two kingdoms to move troops fast. We need to amass our armies on the borders to make sure our defense is already in place. I already have the dwarven king building trenches and moving artillery over. We will not allow the desolate race to get the upper hand right away. Nor can we afford to let them. As for Creige and me… We will be heading to the desolate village to have a little talk. I hope Your Majesty can help with the things I have asked for." Kana respectfully bowed her head. Claine was a good man and had helped her a lot. She had a deep respect for this man.
"As I said before, I will do all I can to assist you." Claine smiled at Kana before turning to the officials in the room, his expression now serious. "Hear my word. You have heard what has been said. Begin readying the troops and get someone over to Stone Hammer to make a teleport. We need to get this all done now!"
"Tilia, Take care of yourself." Kana waved goodbye to Tilia as she disappeared with Creige.
"Daughter, you have one good friend." Claine said softly so that only he and Tilia could answer.
"Father, she's my sister." Tilia corrected.
"Right, right! Haha! If we live through all of this, I think I will step down and let you run things for a while. I need a break." Claine let out a long sigh. Too many wars in a short span of a few years, he did not want any of this.
"Father!" Tilia looked at her father like he had three heads. She was far from being ready for any kind of leadership. She still had so much to learn!

Stone Hammer….
The dwarven king almost jumped out of his skin when Kana and Creige returned. "Ho-w How did it go!?" The dwarven king asked, trying to recompose himself.
"The Rural king will be sending people here soon to set up a teleport point. They are willing to give you their full support and will also be contacting the other countries around the world to see if they can send soldiers as well. As for Creige and me, I would like for you to loan us a carriage and a guide. It would be good to send them an envoy as well and try to talk things out if we can. If war can be avoided, that would be the best outcome." Kana explained.
"I can do this, but would this not anger them more by entering their territory?" The dwarven king did not think this was such a good idea.
Creige frowned. He looked at the dwarven king with cold eyes. "My wife decided it. Why are you not getting things ready? Just do as you are told, or you will find yourself upside down naked in front of the palace again."
"Y-Yes, you're right..." The dwarven king wanted to slap himself. How could he forget that this man only thought about his wife?
"Then we will be off quickly and get a carriage ready for us." Creige orders before taking Kana's hand and walking out of the throne room. The Dwarven king looked at their retreating backs and sighed. "Quickly get a carriage ready! Do it now!"
Out in the hall, Kana looked at Creige and asked: "Do you think I am wrong?"
"No. You are right in this. Everything you have asked for and done so far is correct. With a strong defense to guard the border, we will be one step ahead, and by the two of us going to them first we may be able to stop this war all together. Kana, remember, as your husband, even if you wish to blow up this world, I will be on your side." Creige squeezed the small hand in his and continued walking forward. Kana smiled as she blinked her eyes at her Handsome Husband. She couldn't help but think that he was the best husband in the entire universe.
High above the planet Shamile was biting her fingernails as she was watching what was going on. "Damnit! How does she have so much influence on this planet!? I didn't want to get involved but I can not let her make her way to the desolate race just in case she once again ruins my plans." Shamile waved her hand sending a ball of energy down onto the planet in the woods that Kana will have to travel through. The ball of energy slowly took form until a beautiful woman in red appeared. "This clone can only use twenty percent of my power but it should be enough for those two. I will need to be careful not to kill them."
