LTD, Malissa's Academy, 23 free porn video

LTD, Malissa's Academy, 23 By: Malissa Madison Malissa's second full year as Headmistress is beginning with a few small problems. But hopefully nothing that she cannot handle. I was sitting in substituting a pre-orientation class organizing the Teachers Assistants to help the new arrivals for Miss Shelli who was supposed to conduct it but had sent a message that she was unable to return, when a beeping interrupted me. Looking to the source I spotted May Longcreek in her wolf form consulting her PDA. "May, is that really important?" I asked. "Sorry Ma'am. Butterfly was just letting me know about a relief convoy going to Tall Tree," she explained. I heard Bounder gasp in surprise. "Alright ladies, back to the orientation." I gave her a look that said, 'We'll talk about this after I'm finished.' I was wrapping up the orientation when I heard a young lady whispering that her Momma was on her way home, Grief was returning. I quickly ended the orientation, then said, "Excuse me, Andreanna, May, and Bounder please come see me." I looked at Andreanna Turrni, "I'm happy to know that your mother is on her way home. Were they successful in finding Screamer?" "Yes Ma'am, I thought that was why you were filling in for Miss Shelli." "What about Miss Shelli?" I asked. We hadn't been given any details, just that she wasn't able to return this year. "She's going to Tall Tree, Jupiter just left taking her with them," said Bounder naming one of the Tank Transports. I could understand the Tanks sending a transport, but not why one of my teachers was going along. "Thank you ladies," I said. I was happy to see so many returning this year who had seemed like they would beg their way out of being new student guides. I was making my way toward the Junior and Senior Dining hall when someone covered my eyes from behind. "Guess who?" they prompted but their laughter gave them away. "Hmm, let's see. Minoli, Desrita and Theresa Felloni," I said as I gently pulled the webbed fingers away from my eyes. "I'm Sorry Miss Malissa, I told them they should not bother you," began their Momma, Laurina. "That is Quite alright, how was your vacation? I trust the Gerwhales were spectacular?" I asked. "We got to swim with them Miss Malissa," said a very excited Minoli. "Daddy even got us webbed fingers and toes like Theresa's." They were spreading their fingers to show the delicate webbing. "Momma even got hers done too," added an excited Desrita. And Laurina blushed as she shyly fanned her forgers for me to see. "Thank you Miss Malissa," said Theresa near tears. "I never had a real family like this before." She was clinging to them crying happily. I heard a nicker and we turned to see Miss Clair as she trotted toward us. "Momma, may I?" asked Desrita with a bit of excitement. "Go ahead," she was encouraged. Soon all I could hear was nickering as they started talking. For all the languages that my translator could convert there was one that seemed beyond it. The Nickering language of the Centaurs. I was very impressed that Desrita had embraced her stepmothers other heritage so fully. "Very good," praised Miss Clair. "Daddy still has trouble with it," giggled Minoli. I left them to visit and stepped into the dining hall after telling both Desrita and Theresa which TA list to check. I saw her as she stepped into the Hall, Mildred Regent had returned this year as a senior. But following her were not her usual bodyguards, there was a gaggle of younger girls around her now. "This is where we eat, and where we visit with others outside the Dorms," she told them. "Mildred who are these young ladies?" I asked. "That's, 'Your Highness' Lady," spouted one next to her. Before Mildred could intervene I held up my hand. "I am well aware of the Princess' status 'away' from my school. But here you will find there are no Royalty, no High Class or Lower Class. Here all students are equal," I stared into the eyes of the one who'd spoken to correct me. From the corner of my eye I saw Mildred as she mouthed the words, 'Thank you'. "We are," she began and I touched the right hinge of the reading glasses perched on the tip of my nose. She paused her response momentarily. "Ash' iwi, yes I know who you are, but you still need to learn to politely interact with others. You need to learn common courtesy and how to properly wear your school uniforms as well, Daisha Creed." I spoke the name that had been given to me by my identification program. No one knew that embedded in the frames of the light reading glasses that I often wore was a video scanner that linked with my office computer for facial recognition to supply me with names when needed. "If you know who I am then you know that my Great Aunt is," again I interrupted her. "Yes I am well aware of who Ash' Nihau Creed is. But here you are but one more young lady in need of learning social skills, as well as how the universes run in these modern times," I smiled at her. "Miss Malissa," Reader had just entered and rushed up to give me a hug. "I hope the new arrivals aren't being too taxing. They can't help it that they were in stasis for the last two thousand years." It was still hard to believe that these children were almost two thousand years older than I was. But still they'd been frozen in time, never aging or moving forward until just recently. I went back to my office to study up on Tall Tree, aka, Illusion Three, and any other place that these new students might be going to. Their ancestors had played a big part in the development of Earth and the rest of the known universes. Then I got an idea. I placed a call to the Tank Transport Jupiter. "Miss Shelli, please," I requested when my call was answered. "Miss Malissa, I'm sorry I just left like this. But I have to go see my Momma, and, and I was told that they need teachers on Tall Tree," she said an almost frightened look in her eyes. "So you volunteered to go and do that as well?" I asked with a smile of approval. "Y, yes Ma'am. But I'm not sure how much good I'll do without Text books or a proper school." "Shelli, will you promise to use the same rules and standards that I and my Husband use? To accept even Transgendered Girls?" I asked. "Of course I will Ma'am. But why are you asking me, there isn't even a school there yet." She said. "Would you invite Miss Denga back on with us please?" I requested. "Yes Ma'am," their faces filled the screen. "If you tell me which Transport will next be headed your way I will see to it that twenty full sets of each year's text books are aboard for Miss Shelli's School. And I will be contacting the other schools to enquire if there any more teachers eager to come and help you." I said. "You're talking about me as if you want me to become the Head Mistress," she said. "You understand there will not be a separate school for young men and boys?" asked Miss Denga. "Yes I fully understand that. I also have every confidence in Miss Shelli's abilities to teach everyone equally," I answered. "Then I will notify Spider Lilly to contact you before they leave next week," said Denga. "And Ma'am? Thank you." "You are most welcome, I just like to see everyone having the opportunity for a good education." ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ It had been discovered by the bio ships that Reader and Night Wolf could only unlock but a few of the stasis Matrix's. The others had either been scrambled or completely lost at some point over the eons. They had to pick and choose carefully which ones to Revive first. The plan was to go slow, revive only a few each year to keep from overwhelming everyone. Also it let them help those revived to adjust before they became bonded with a Bio Ship to go out and explore those places that the Intergalactic Freeway didn't reach yet. Many places that the other Bio-Ships knew about as well, but it was Galaxia who had reached the farthest. Going out past even the farthest extensions of the Freeway. Most places that the other ships knew about were worlds that sat off to the side without an Access Portal. The freeway cutting through the heart of the system, before the life there had evolved enough to attract the attention of the Road Builders. Worlds almost like Tall Tree where the indigenous life was still evolving. I was still thinking on it in my spare time between classes a week later when Grief finally arrived bringing with her a few who had gone first to the Tank community. I was wondering if there was some reason why different societies had a long history of struggling to evolve. While others seemed to leap forward. On Tall Tree, the Wigiwa were evolving quickly into a technological society. They'd already built primitive solar and wind powered generators. They had electricity, and communications. Though their communications was on a scale with that used on Earth during the early nineteen hundreds, it was still more advanced than you would expect to find in a tree dwelling society. They lacked motor vehicles and powered farm machinery, but they still had animal powered machinery. Without ready access to Ash' Nihau Creed for answers my next closest source was one of my two Loki teachers. Petri and Neelani were a vast wealth of knowledge concerning the many universes that we called Quadrants, as well as the past before the war, or as they referred to it, 'The Great Betrayal'. I was about to ask Nona to see if one of them was available to talk, when I heard someone in the outer office. Their English as well as their Universal was a bit slurred and faulty in some places. "Nona, who is here?" I asked over the intercom. "Oh I was just about to call you," she said. "Do you have a moment to talk with Malia of the Tall Tree clan of Loki?" "Absolutely," I stood up, anxious to meet her at the door. "Please come in." "Thank you, I hope I am disturbing you not," she said. "Transport Commander Tarra Demure told me that I might help teach for you the histories that are not in the records." I knew that Grief was back, yet still I was wondering how she got here since they were not reported. But of course we'd had two other Tank Transports return from there in the last two weeks. "You wish to become a teacher?" for a Loki she was very beautiful. Petri and Neelani had been showing me pictures and I'd learned to see what they saw when they were describing another's beauty or handsomeness. Then when she turned her head toward the coffee pot I saw the only sign that she wasn't a stranger to violence. She had a long red edged scar along the left side of her head just behind her jaw. She knew I had seen it and chose to explain it before being asked. "I was one aboard Darter when the war began. I was very young and tried to defend the Ancient who was bonded with him. Before he perished those of us who were loyal were transported to Tall Tree. That was before the Road Builders came to make it a Terminal. Should I cover the scar?" she asked. "Malia, does it bother you for other people to see it and know that you tried to defend one who was peaceful?" I asked. "People should see the scars caused by those who sought to enslave everyone. But not everyone understands the difference between defense, and offense. Striving to preserve life and trying to end it." "I wish to teach them that difference, would you help me to do that?" I asked. "You have two others of my kind here who teach, with three we could teach more." I smiled at her then. "Then we need to discover which classes would be best for you to begin with." I was thinking that she might gradually take over the classes I was now teaching. Heavens knew I was short on teachers since I had sent three more to Earth, and also had the influx of new students. "Perhaps Katee could learn here as well?" she requested. "She was most excited when she heard about the formal learning here." "And Katee came with you? Or should we send someone for her?" I asked my mind thinking of another Loki. "Oh please forgive, she is observing," she answered motioning toward the window. "There are more than just Katee who came. But they wish to live in tall places above the ground." Then I finally spotted her as she crouched in the tree outside my window. The Guardian Goth's and Phase Spiders knew that they were here, but also knew they were not a threat, so they hadn't bothered to report the two dozen Wigiwa who had taken to living in the trees in and around the still growing community. I opened my window and motioned for her and the two with her to please come inside. They might be covered in fur, and resembling rather large intelligent apes, but they had a pleasant odor almost akin to warm Fritos. She reached out toward me, "Katee, I am." I took her hand giving her a gentle hug. "I am Miss Malissa, I am happy to meet you." "Tinia and Veeda," she introduced the other two who happily shared a hug with me. Veeda seemed to be the youngest, yet still most likely in her early teens. "We sisters, Veeda our sister now. She change from be our brother," offered Tinia. "This not be problem here?" I sat there stunned for the briefest moment. "Not at all, there are many here who have changed to become young ladies," I explained. "Tall Tree, many males choose to become female. It easier for females that way. They not have to mate with so many males," stated Katee. "They choose freely, it is not forced on them," added Malia quickly. I hugged Veeda again. "We share a similar bond," I told her. "I too used to be a boy." Now I wanted to learn even more about these new people. If their society was that openly accepting, we might all of us learn some things from them. "We begin to change with the nature. Too many males, some younger not yet old enough begin to change up here," she touched her head. "And here," she indicated Veeda's breasts. But not here, though they enjoy mating same as females do." I was about to ask how the change was affected when Malia explained. "Not even we Loki or the Builders know how the change is effected, or how those who will be changed are selected. But those who stayed there from Sun Bather believe it has to do with the many interchanges beneath the surface." It sort of made sense now that I thought about it. May, Lisa and the other Transgendered residents that I knew who shot portals regularly had ceased to need Hormone Replacement. Something about the portals was adjusting their bodies naturally. Even my own and my daughter's doses had dwindled to almost nothing after our last trip to Earth and back. Then I thought about the Transport Officers, those who were Transgendered no longer needed HRT either. Part of the Portal's function was a health scan. Another reason why most drivers seemed to slow way down in the aging process. Also Miss Clara's health condition seemed to have been cured by the time we reached here over a year ago. Of course there were some things that even the portals couldn't cure. Like addictions, and one's sociological mentality. If you were prone to violence beforehand, you were still prone to violence, etcetera. "Would you three be more comfortable having a Treehouse Dorm?" I asked. They looked startled that I would ask. But I knew they had never lived anywhere else other than on the Transport that brought them here. "Perhaps maybe top floor with a window access to one of the trees?" suggested Katee. "I think we might be able to do better than that," I said. There was a sophomore dorm with a huge tree that actually overhung the outer balcony off the fourth floor Common Room. I picked up the phone and said, "Colonel Pierce please." "Is everything alright Love?" he answered. I actually giggled. "My favorite Architect and Engineer." "Oh, you have some sort of project for me?" he asked. "I need a Treehouse Dorm built as soon as possible," I told him. "Hold on a moment," "Lieutenant Pierce, report to the Colonels office please." "Now let me guess you have a few new students from Tall Tree?" "How did you know?" Ours arrived three days ago. Your daughter has had Easy Company hard at work here building the Dorm for the new Cadets. I'll send her over with a copy of the blue prints and to inspect your proposed site, i. e. the Trees involved," he chuckled. "Thank you," I said. "You could have warned me to expect them." "Where would be the fun in that?" "Oh here she is now, I'll send her through the closet." I heard a tap on the door. "Come in," I said. "Ahh, a Dimension Doorway, I thought I detected one," said Malia as Erika stepped into my office. "Momma, I brought the plans for the one we're building," she held up the roll of blue prints. It would be interesting to see how these young girls adjusted, but more importantly to see how their roommates adjusted to a treehouse dorm. Erika assured me that they would not have any problems with staying warm during the winter weather. Of course I'd been inside Becca and Norrish's treehouse last winter and it was warm enough they didn't need layers of clothing. Even the water didn't freeze up. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The newly awakened Ash' iwi students were beginning to adjust and learn to interact socially with the help of both Reader and Night Wolf. The other students were slowly getting used to seeing Loki teachers, and accepting that they were not dangerous. Of course nearly all the Kittenettes in seventh and eighth grade had transferred to the Kitten Academy, but I knew enough about the culture now to know that it was a free choice, and that they would receive just as good of an education as my own girls got. Malia was fitting in nicely, and I was happy to see that there were even more Tanks coming here to learn. Before last year, they had all been Home Schooled putting an extra burden on their parents who also had to ensure they were also meeting Intergalactic Standards in other areas besides the Tanks expertise. Anna wasn't very happy that she and Starlight had ended up in separate rooms. But then Starlight had pointed out that at least they were in the same classes. My biggest problem at the moment was Tizzy, she kept sneaking out at night. But she refused to say what she was doing. It was getting to be a routine now, every few days to find her and Miss Rina, her Dorm Mother waiting in my office. Stepping out of my closet I saw through the open door both of them in front of Nona's desk. "You don't understand, I have to have those. Give them back right this minute before I get violent. And stop touching them," I could tell by the tone of her voice that she indeed was fighting an urge to get violent. "Tizzy, my office now," I said. "Miss Rina," I held out my hand for the rather large gem stones. She placed them back in the leather bag and set it in my hand as she followed Tizzy into my office. This was the first time I'd seen what was in the bag that Tizzy always kept on her person. Of course it looked fuller now than when I'd first met her. "What is it this time?" I asked as I closed my door for privacy. "I caught her sneaking in through her window as I was waking up the girls to get ready for breakfast," stated Miss Rina. "Tizzy, would you care to explain why you keep sneaking out, please?" I was practically pleading with her. She'd never offered any explanation before which had earned her detentions and demerits. "Please Momma, I have to insulate them. And I need to get her psychic trace off them before it's too late," she was reaching for the bag now on my desk. I could see the strain in her face like she was hurting. "She's a Crystal Junkie! I should have guessed it," blurted out Rina. "You, Don't, Under Stand!" came out with such force before she could stop it. Now even I was feeling as if I might need a bit of help. "I am not a Junkie. I don't use them like others do. I do not cut them and inhale the dust, I, I have to keep them safe." As she'd finished she grew calmer, the anger slowly fading and I found myself staring at how she'd just changed her own feelings, like flipping a switch. "Rina, I'll deal with this. You go on and see to the rest of the class," I told her. After she left Tizzy began, "Momma, please I really do have to clean them. They, they're not like the Crystals that junkies use." "Then tell me what they are," I said. "Is this why you keep sneaking out? To find these?" She dropped her eyes, her hand still outstretched toward the bag on my desk. "They, they call to me," she looked up into my eyes now, her own filled with tears. "Please just let me clean her prints off them." I pushed the bag towards her and she dumped them out on the desk blotter. Each one was either White, Pink or Blue. And they were all the same general size, a bit smaller than a Tennis Ball but larger than a Golf Ball. She produced a soft cloth and slowly began polishing each one, a soft soothing hum as she worked. After each one was cleaned she would wrap it in its own cloth before placing it in the bag. "Miss Malissa," Nona called quietly over my earring. "Yes," I answered just as quietly trying to figure out what was happening with my latest adopted daughter. "There is an incident in the Dining hall, Reader and Night Wolf are in a, I don't know, kind of trance," she said. "Miss Crane says they both have crystals like the ones Tizzy has." "Thank you Nona, tell her not to let anyone touch those Crystals," I said now realizing what they were. The crystals were Matrix's used by the Ancients in their Teleportation Computers. "Tizzy and I will be there as soon as Tizzy is done here." I didn't try to explain any further. Then as an afterthought I added, "Please try to contact Miss Creed." When she was done, she placed all but one back in her bag. Holding it with the cloth she was still crying. "I, Momma, I was too late for this one, it's all scrambled up." The Crystal looked dull, cloudy inside. "I'm sorry," I told her. "Maybe if you'd told us earlier when I asked why you were sneaking out," I was interrupted again. "Malissa, Ash' Nihau is here." "Send her in please," I said. That it was the first time the two had seen each other was apparent. The reaction though was very different than I expected. Ash' Nihau snatched up the Crystal off the desk, looking directly into it. Then she held it carefully between just her fingertips of her left hand. Her right index finger came down to touch the very top, and it slowly began to clear just before she gasped in shock. Tizzy was looking up at her in anticipation and awe now. Wrapping it in a cloth, she said, "Keep it safe little Seeker. Malissa I need Reader and Night Wolf here, please." She was now examining the crude tattoos on Tizzy's face and arms. Then carefully she touched the little star on her forehead then made a slight bow. "Your arrival here is most welcome little Seeker of the Star Clan," she announced. "You know of my Clan?" asked Tizzy in confusion. "She's a child of the Ancients?" I asked. "Not directly, no. But her family clan," she traced the symbols on Tizzy's right arm. "Was one born on Earth, they sought out and safeguarded the Matrix Crystals for our computers there. I wish I knew where the rest of her family is. They probably have the ones we are missing from Earth." "How many of these did you bring with you, little one?" she asked Tizzy. "Two," answered Tizzy. "You found all of these here in the last six weeks?" she was asked. "No Mistress Creed. I found two on Terrellia, and three on Delphi when we were there for the weddings. I, I felt more on Lyconia but was unable to locate them before we left," she said sadly. Then I remembered, just before we left Terrellia and Delphi, the Sisters of the Light on each planet had reported the theft of Gem Stones. "Tizzy, did they come from the Temples of the Light?" I asked. "They, they had no idea what they are," she blurted out now hugging the bag to herself tightly. "But, the Lycan temple didn't have any, I looked there first," she tilted her head up towards Ash' Nihau. "Of course," gasped Ash' Nihau. "I should have recognized them. They are descended from the original Order of Keepers." Ignoring her I said, "Tizzy, you stole from a temple?" "Malissa, that is not important," I rounded on the Ancient. "I don't know who you think you are that you can just dismiss the theft from others if it benefits you. But I do not want my daughters growing up to be thieves." "She is not your daughter, she is a Seeker of the Star Clan," her eyes bore into my own. "While I admit that is important, it is more important that she try to do the job without resorting to Grand Larceny," I fumed. "I don't want her ending up in some Prison where no one can visit her. Where she won't have any chance at a happy life. And for your information, she 'IS' my daughter, I adopted her as one of my own and if I have to I'll kick your fucking ass before I let you turn her into your personal thief. She is better than that, and I would think that you of all people would want her to try diplomacy first." I was shaking with rage as I reached out to Tizzy now, feeling vindicated as she wrapped her arms around me in tears. "How dare you talk to me this way, I am an Ancient." she reached for Tizzy's bag, but Tizzy pulled it back from her grasp. "Grandmother! Are you no better than Cylon?" we all turned to see Reader and Night Wolf in the doorway. "You do not understand," began Ash' Nihau. "Then explain to us how encouraging someone to steal from others is any different than stealing from those who sought to better your life?" asked Astrid as she stepped into the room. She turned to me then. "Malissa, I will notify the Sisters of the Light, we will discuss the matter of the gems with them." She reached out a foreleg to caress Tizzy's cheek. "Until then, I trust you to safe guard them. I have much to discuss with the council." And she was gone. Ash' Nihau had already vanished as well. "You, you would fight for me?" Tizzy was in tears, shaking in my arms. I brushed the hair out of her eyes. "Tizzy, when I adopted you as my daughter it was without strings attached. No matter what happens, you will always be my daughter, and I will always fight for you. So will the rest of your family. We love you," I told her. I was still holding her in my arms as Reader and Night Wolf explained to me the Pull that a Crystal Matrix held over a Seeker until they learned to control it. "Miss Malissa, Miss Regent is here," said Nona. I was bracing myself for another confrontation with an Ancient. "Malissa, I apologize for Ash' Nihau's behavior. I and the rest do not condone it." I just looked at her puzzled, what was she saying? "We will work with her, teach her to control the pull that a Matrix has," offered Reader and Night Wolf. "Being the only adult pure blood Ancient has corrupted her values," said Lucinda. "I have seen firsthand how power corrupts. My father was the most powerful Loki. But he wasn't always so evil hearted," I could see the tears forming in her eyes. "Your people have a saying they got from us. 'Absolute Power, Corrupts Absolutely'. That is why we always had a council to decide things. She has no peers, she needs to let the council make the decisions now more than ever." She caressed Tizzy's hair, "Never fear little one. The council will not let you be imprisoned for doing what your Heart and Crystal Thrall drove you to do. But you should trust in your family, let them know the next time you feel it, alright?" "Y, yes Ma'am." "Girls, the council has decided that you need to take more time to just be yourselves. You can practice, but only for one hour a day." "But," "You are not adults yet and over doing it at your age is not good for your health." We sat and the girls began talking and soon Tizzy was feeling better. Still I wanted to know more about her being a Seeker, and about Crystal Thrall. But first I really needed to talk with both Donnie and Sophie. They needed to know what I now knew. I picked up my phone, "Sophie, I need to talk with both you and Donnie in my office please." When I'd said his name the phone automatically connected us in a conference call. "Just a moment Love," he said. "No I want copies of the prints as well as the security footage." He was talking to someone else. "Sorry Love someone broke into my office last night." "Your office was robbed?" I asked and heard Tizzy whimper. "What did they take?" I asked watching her now. "Really Malissa, it's silly but do you remember that paper weight Sarah gave me right after we were married?" he asked. "Donnie, it wasn't a paper weight. But I need you both here right away. Tizzy has some things you need to know about." They both arrived looking worried, and then she opened her bag. "D, Daddy I'm sorry but, but you didn't know what it was," he gasped as she slowly unwrapped the Crystal. "You took it?" "I'm Sorry Daddy I, I had to have it. It calls to me," she was sobbing. "Donnie, she's a Seeker. It's born into her, that's why she's been doing all this crazy stuff that she couldn't explain. But we can help her now that we know, right?" I explained. His hands came up under hers and he gently wrapped her fingers around it before kissing her forehead. "Then you need to keep it safe, and I forgive you. But please don't shut us out next time you feel the need to find one." "And Sweetie, we're here for you, no matter what happens," added Sophie. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ It was just now the end of the first week and it seemed like already so much had happened. I was happy to see Moll here with Sabina, the two sharing a room together. Of course I had no idea if they actually slept there, the main point was that they were in school. I knew the two had left after the last classes, Moll had a lot of things that needed tending too. She was after all a reigning Queen. Tonight it was just my family at home for a wonderful dinner. The tension felt while we were trying to find out what was happening with Tizzy had been relieved. Donnie Sophie and I had finally worn each other out, and we were drifting slowly off to sleep listening to the sounds of the quiet peaceful evening. It started low, coming from Corra's room. The most mournful heart rending sound I had ever heard. And then Tank took up his own howl. Suddenly I realized that it was Sheba who had started it, but it was more than just Sheba. She was out on the back patio now, every Chow on Iridani seemed to be singing the same song. "Malissa?" both Donnie and Sophie were worried. "Mommy, she gone," Corra had tears in her eyes. "Whose gone Baby?" I asked her. "The Queen Mommy," she was holding onto Sheba. I called the one person I knew with a Gambichow who might know something as well as tell me what was happening. "Malissa, I hope Sabina is alright," she began. "Oh my gods, not Kasha," I gasped. "No it was her mother, Dressella," she reassured me. "Dressella was well into her sixth century. It will be interesting to see how Sabina handles being Queen." "What? I thought you said," I began then remembered my Demonian Politics. "So the reaction of the Chows is in response to her Chow Passing away as well," I reasoned. "How long before the funeral arrangements are made?" "I will let you know as soon as I find out, and also when the Coronation of Sabina Arteria will be held." I thanked her then told Donnie and Sophie that I needed to go see to Sabina if she didn't already know. I stepped through my closet into my office to hear Nona on her phone. "Yes Ma'am, I am sure that Miss Malissa will be taking the appropriate actions. Thank you," she hung up. "Nona, you are supposed to be at home with Miele," I said. "I'm sorry, but I heard from a friend about the tragic events." "We are going to declare from now until the end of this next week a week of Mourning in Memory of the Queen Mother Dressella Arteria of Demonia. And Nona, please let your assistants handle the phones. I'm going to the," I began instructing her. "She's not here Ma'am. She and Queen Moll had something to do for the Delphi system." "Then I will," I began. "Be in the dining hall for breakfast?" she finished. "Of course, are joining me?" I asked. "Yes Ma'am. just as soon as," "Momma, I'm ready," said Meali as she rushed through the doorway. Now I looked at the pair closer, each wore a Gyro type Pendant about her neck. Of course that explained how Nona could get here so quickly, and how Meali always find her in a hurry. They had Jumper Gyro's. All they needed to do was set to spinning and think of where they needed to go. Sure I could make the announcement from my office. But that was impersonal. I preferred to be with my young ladies for things like this, especially those who were effected the most. I knew it being Saturday all the Demonian girls still at school would be in the Junior High Dining Hall since it was the one that was open from 6AM until 23:00PM. Our thirty hour days gave us longer times for the school days, as well as longer times for their after school hour activities. I saw both Lolly and Tandy Parnell, their tear streaked eyes telling they already knew. The girls fell silent as I made my way to the head table. Still standing I tapped my lapel pin that would cast my voice over the PA system. "Ladies," the few who had resumed talking turned to look at me now. "Earlier this morning, Dressella Arteria, Queen Mother of Demonia passed away. This next week is being dedicated to her Memory. Further notifications will be made in regards to the funeral as soon as we receive the information. And any who cannot attend will be allowed to watch it if it is televised." I started to sit down. "Ma'am, what about the Coronation, will be able to watch that also?" "Yes we will definitely watch the Coronation, and if the funeral is televised, those of you who are unable to attend may watch it here in the dining hall or in the Auditorium," I reiterated. "Momma," I looked around to see Anna and Starlight. "Are we going to Demonia?" "Yes if we receive an invitation," I answered her. "What about Tizzy? You know her umm, urges?"
