"We have our own conntact ... Newblood ? Isnt Bianca Newblood council member of Aizerus Alliance ? Your sister married at double wedding ?" Before finishing what she intended female started asking.

"No she was married off for benefits of trading to expand our House influence. She wasnt gifted in magic so no double wedding. Her husband is actualy far relative of Bianca, but its Newblood House nonetheless. Her manor is at capital Hull, and its place i intend to head."

"Then our journey destination is the same." happily interupted prince Tomas.

"Yes, umm ... miss cloak ? Sorry but have no idea how to adress you." Said mother and forced a few chuckles from group.

"Im sorry, should have introduced from beginning. Must be tension from our situation." Said female, removed hood and with courtesy introduced herself "My name is Gabrielle Goldmore, second daughter of Isabel Goldmore and just like my cousin prince, i am mage." She just like her cousin had long blonde hair, her eyes were bright green, but with splits like those of cat. I quickly looked for demi-human ears or tail, but there were none. Only one parent should have been demi-human and Gabrielle inherited only eyes from him or her.

"As for our escort" She faced one figure, that i earlier recognized as demi-human from eyes, he removed his hood. "Captain of Royal guards Leo Kaiser" He noded at mention of his name. He was weircat, no lion bloodline indication so just from common weircat species.

"Then we have other guards.." she looked at others and they started remove hood.

"Ace" and another male demi-human of lycan species noded his head.

"Lars" and male human noded in turn.

"and ..Jade." Last was female lycan. If we dont count Gabrielle as guard, then Lars is sole human among them. Thats a lot of demi-humans for security of royalty. Then again our Raldus kingdom wasnt know for discriminating other races. We even had almost thirty percent of nobility as demi-humans.

"Any chance you have more of these stylish cloaks ?" Asked mother while glancing group over.

"It would be hard remain unnoticed if i travel with you in company as i am now." she added while looking over clothes. Yes they were quite unique. Pitch black in color. Bellow waist was mix of wraped cloth and inflated pants revealing one hip and with that, it was obvious that mom had no panties under. Upper part was somthing like short jacket wraped in cloth at bottom part, leaving decollete at chest part. Loose cloth parts at upper sleeves and belly part was totaly exposed. Big silver clasps, with blue crystals inside, were holding wraped cloth parts. One near unexposed hip and another near chest cut. Clothes had look of noble attire, but none wore anything like this.

At those words everyone was staring at mother. At first she faced their gaze head on, but when gaze of most wandered to exposed hip she started feel uncomfortable and turned her face to the side while her eyes were jumping back and forth to them and away. Prince quickly turned away with red face. After a bit more staring, Jade walked over rucksack and after searching trough it, handed over cloak for mother. After mother put it on, silence fell.

"So ... awkward" muttered mother.

"And whose fault is that dear mother ? Could picked somthing less sluty." I rubbed salt.

"They are not sluty .. i just had no chance to get my hands on panties." muttered mother even quiter.

"Oh really ? You had chance to get gold, build statues, destroy whole nobles square, but no time to go to your room and pick any random underwear ?" I didnt let go chance to tease my mother. Its so funny. She is such pervert when we talk alone. And now she acts like shy little girl.

"Uhh.." was all that she managed to squeeze out.

"Umm .. so .. after we confirm situation outside ..." Gabielle broke silence.

Prince Tomas jumped to a chance and continued "Yes we will sound horn to see if direwolfs still within vicinity ... hope they are, without mounts, it will take way more time to travel and enemy might repair portal gates with so much time. Anyhow we will head for Arcae city first. There they have portal connected to Redwater's Edge. After telportation we will head to Aizerus border on mounts and after passing border, will head for Farwatch city. There should be no more danger to us. Trough portal to Silvergate city and after another teleport we will be at capital Hull. If no problem with portals at any of cities, hardest part will be reach Arcae from where we are. And maybe journey to Farwatch before we cross border."

"I should go scout surroundings outside. With detect it should be safe. If no danger around, will use horn to call tamed direwolfs from surroundings. Zolmor dont have demi-humans in army so they wont hear horn even if some are nearby." said Captain Leo.

"Jade you with me. Will stay on look out for direwolfs once i get back to report." he added and Jade walked over.

"Have tool with detect ? What is its maximum range ?" asked mother.

"Two Bo" answered Leo, pulled out orb and looked at it.

"Wait. Give it to me." Said mother and toke orb from his hand, before he could even answer or agree to give it.

Mother pointed her finger at it and with lightning started engrave markings on it. While guards looked passive Tomas and Gabrielle gasped with mouths wide open, closed and then gasped again. Leo didnt showed any emotion on his face, but there was noticable movement of his tail under cloak.

"Done" said mother and handed tool back to Leo. "With this it should reach up to nine Bo. If somone else have, i can upgrade yours too. But only if its detect enchant."

"What ?!" shouted Tomas, Gabrielle and Leo in unison and started to stare at orb in Leo hands.

"Ha ha ha ha ha" Captain started to laugh, then stoped and faced us "Does it really work like you said ?"

"Yes though now it will use twice as much mana. You were about to go scout surroundings, good oportunity to check dont you think ?" Asked mother with a smile. And then looked at lightning in her hand. It was a bit dimer than before.

"Im off" declared Leo and ran to the exit without looking back while Jade followed close by.

"Soooo .. ?" mother looked at others.

"I have, but its not for detection." Said prince and then Gabrielle quickly followed "I have with detect" and handed her orb to mother exited.

After same process of engraving, lightning dancing was more seldom, mother handed orb over to Gabrielle and said "I will rest a bit, have been busy quite a while, seems used up most of mana."

"Yes of course. We were doing the same before you arrived. Once we are outside we will need rush to escape immediate danger. We cant let ourself being spoted near Luara. Go ahead and rest." Said prince Tomas.

Mom walked near wall sat down and started meditate.
