"Prince Bryson, control your dragons . " Spat Bastil loudly seemingly enraged by the Storm Twins wordless threat . Bryson glared at him .
"I am afraid you are offending a bear you can't survive the fight with . MY title is Lord Bryson and these dragons are not mine to control . " Bryson growled, his dark eyes burning with fire as he openly challenged Bastil . Though Bastil was formidable he was smaller, and less skilled than a hardened warrior like Bryson . If the older man shifted shape… there would be no survivors .
"Then whose are the beasts?" Demanded the Emperor as he saw the flames beginning to build . The Storm twins growing in anger by the second . Thunder growled across the sky as the wind increased its ferocity as if threatening to unleash havoc on the earth . The sky quickly became dark . Even the two frost dragons seemed uneasy, laying belly to the ground heads bowed so not to challenge the twins .

Kyera glanced up at the dragons . Both of them having moved to her side . Suddenly, fragile, pregnant Kyera looked like… the matron goddess . A beauty beyond compare and backed by the dragons of the sky . Empress Vivian knew then they had looked to the wrong woman, and Kira wished she could swallow her words .
"Ember, Ivory you're making the sky a danger to the baby . " Kyera spoke gently but reproachfully as the dragons broke their eyes away from Kira and down at Kyera . Ivory lowered her head and nuzzled Kyera tenderly in apology as the wind came to a calm breeze . The clouds lingered, but the thunder no longer shook the earth .
"Sorry, Mistress . How could these creatures refer to the young Master or Mistress so fouly . They are no family of our Mistress . " Ember's smooth dark voice was angry, and his s sounds slurred like a hiss . His sister glared at Kira while Kyera pet Ember's neck .
"Unimportant people spouting ignorant taunts are none of our concern . " Kyera reminded them gently, and Damar's eyes furrowed . He remembered a similar statement made to him not long ago .
"How dare you . " Bastil growled at her in anger . However, the fiery puff of hot air and low thunderous growl quickly silenced his string of insults that should have followed . It was clear the Storm Twins would not tolerate much else being done toward their precious Mistress .
"How dare she? She called Kyera's baby a bastard . Her son offended Lord Bryson, and her daughter in law lied to the royal family . How Dare She?" Everyone stared at the woman who spoke . It it had come from Kyera, or even Crystalsa everyone would have understood . Lilia was known for such outbursts, but it was Melania's polite but cold voice that silenced him .
"Melania…" Fey growled lightly, trying to remind her daughter in law of her place but the girl glared at her .
"No, I am done holding my tongue while the first Queen's family lies to get their way . If you wish to stay silent and be complacent that is your choice, Mother . Enough is enough . " Melania replies quietly, her voice is polite but firm . Nothing she said was out of place, but she knew her husband would have something to say about it .
"Bastil, it seems Melania is not feeling like herself . " Fey spoke clearly and quietly to her son . However, his eyes were drawn to the fire in Melania's eyes .
Kyera and Clovid looked at each other, and chose to let them do as they wished . Afterall, he had a plan and she could see it in his eyes .
"Mother, I believe for once in her life, Melania feels exactly like herself . " Damar replied offering her a gentle smile . "I for one would like to ask Empress Vivian go hear my wife out before bestowing punishment . If it is to be my wife in the wrong, I will bear her lashings . " He replied coolly before looking at his grandmother .
Suddenly, Empress Vivian found herself the center of attention once again . She cleared her throat . "We should let the servants take the meat to he prepared and keep the pelts in their chests . We can speak in the throne room . " Empress Vivian replied trying to put some distance between her family and the two hair trigger dragons before someone got them all killed .
