Saturday, July 10, 1971
It was decided that Princess Grace and Caroline would spend the night in Anna and Luisa’s room. Fortunately, the princess’s assistant, Brigit, had been able to comb through the rubble of the Imperial Suite and bring both royals what they would need for the night. Meanwhile, the hotel management had quickly boarded up the two shattered windows, and then sealed the room. Decisions on where to locate everything else were put off until tomorrow.
It was early morning now, and still there was activity on the streets below me. I was standing in front of the floor to ceiling windows in the sitting room, staring out at the Manhattan skyline and scanning about every ten minutes.
Ileana and I had talked to the rest of our family and assured them that all was well, before Ileana finally went to bed, as had both of the other princesses. Agent Rivera was at the desk in the corner busily making notes for her report. I could tell that she was desperately trying to figure out how to tell what happened without actually lying.
I looked at Anna and smiled. “You okay?
“Yeah, just a little tired. It was pretty hectic there for a few minutes,” she sighed.
“The babies?”
“I’m sure they’re just fine, Michael,” she replied.
“I was worried when you took off after those last two guys. I should have put my shield around you but I just didn’t think of it at the time.”
“Don’t let it worry you. We’ll talk about all the things that happened and what we could have done differently in the debrief. That way, you’ll be ready if it ever happens again,” Anna explained.
“The debrief?”
“Yeah. And I’d like to include Kip and Karla too, so we’ll probably have to wait until tomorrow to do it. I guess it’s a good thing you can just replay it for them, huh?”
We were both quiet for a while, each of us lost in our own thoughts.
“What do you think of Miss Rivera over there?” I thought to Anna.
Anna just looked at me for a moment and then her face broke out in a smile.
“J. Edgar is gonna get a little upset if you keep hiring away his top female agents,” Anna thought back with a giggle. “But I did hear Penny say that she was looking for more female operatives.”
“You think she’d want to come to work for me?” I thought to her. “And do you think she’d fit in?”
“I’m not sure if she would leave the bureau just yet. She hasn’t been there long enough to hit the glass ceiling. But, as for fitting in, I think she’d fit in just fine.
“Well, based on how she did tonight, I certainly think she’s qualified!” I said.
Anna looked from me to Luisa and back to me, arching her eyebrows as she finally figured out what I was up to.
“You’re TRYING to see if she can overhear your thoughts, aren’t you?” she asked.
I just looked at her and grinned.
“I hope the kids are as smart as their mother,” I replied aloud. “And that they have their mom’s looks too!”
The chaos of getting three princesses ready to visit the UN was not strange to me. Heck, it was just about the norm every day of my new life. As Anna, Luisa, and the three princesses, along with an entire royal retinue of assistants scurried in and out of the suite, I just sat there and contented myself with connecting to Candy and Sunny out at Seven Oaks.
“I miss you, Michael,” Candy told me.
“Yeah. I miss you too, Daddy,” Sunny told me. “When are you coming home?”
“Soon, Sweetheart. Soon.” I told her.
“Did you talk to your big knife yet?” she asked me.
There had been much more to our conversation, but her question stayed with me and as soon as I let them go, I headed for the bedroom to retrieve my “big knife”. After that, I simply sat on the small loveseat in the sitting room as the chaos around me only seemed to intensify.
“Sorry about all the people coming in and out of your suite,” Princess Grace said as she passed by once.
“Can I get you anything?” Ileana asked later. But she was in such a hurry, she didn’t even notice when I didn’t reply.
Finally, I engaged my heavy duty shield to block out all the distractions. Funny, but none of the others even noticed when I just disappeared. Once my shield was in place, I simply relaxed as the old ones had taught me and focused on the sword.
I wasn’t sure what to expect. The sword had not come with a users’ manual, so I was truly winging it. But I trusted Sunny when she said that the sword was trying to talk to me. I decided to see what would happen if I just listened.
Nothing happened at first. So I decided to increase the power of my focus some more, and began to chant my now familiar mantra...
“I love you Catherine, I love you Nicky, I love you Jenny, I love...” And as my power intensified, I began to feel the twin rings vibrate and the ruby in the hilt began to glow as the sword began a long, low moan. And then, ever so slowly, the sword’s story began to unfold in my mind...
“I am called Flaminia,” she started, “Named by my maker, after the goddess of the Ciminian Forest. I was commissioned by Thesan, the Great Mother of all the gods, because she feared her husband, Tinia’s retribution against their children. I was forged by Iapetus, the great Titan craftsman, with metals that were brought forth from deep within Tartarus by the guardian of hades, Cronus, himself.”
“Once finished, I was presented to Malicas, Tinia and Thesan’s firstborn. My brother, Chimera, the man/dragon’s armor, was also crafted by Iapetus, and presented to her next born son. And my sisters, Cassia and Amerina, the twin rings of Knowledge and Understanding, were presented to her twin sons.”
“So, that’s how the rings and sword are connected,” I realized
“Each of the Nine Great Gods of the Novensiles possessed a particular kind of power or ‘bolt’. But the Titan God Iapetus was able to forge all nine bolts or powers into the four of us. That’s why, when Tinia discovered what Thesan had done, he flew into a rage and attacked her. But her children came to their mother’s rescue. That’s when we became Thesan’s Te’trad. Using the four of us, her sons were able to hold off his bolts long enough for Thesan, using her wings, to fly away to safety. Then, after critically injuring Tinia, each of the brothers journeyed out in different directions.”
I realized several things simultaneously. First, my sword was a female. Second, that she was very, very, old. Almost as old as time itself. And third, probably because of her age, she had this ancient, soul-like quality that just seemed to command my respect.
“While many have tried, we, my brothers and sisters and I, have only been reunited one time in all the millennia.” Flaminia explained. “That was when Zeus tracked us down, only to then hide us in the four corners of the universe.”
“So ... that was his interest in the sword and the rings,” I thought to myself.
“Now, it seems that IF you can locate our brother, Chimera, we would be re-united again,” Flaminia explained.
I could feel an excited vibration between the rings and the sword. Or maybe I should say, between Flaminia and her twin sisters, Cassia and Amerina.
“Why would they be so excited about being re-united?” I wondered to myself.
“Because, while we were created so that each of us has one of the ‘bolts’ or powers,” Flaminia explained. “Iapetus created us so that if we were ever united, our powers would be magnified many fold and our master would command all nine of the powers.”
“Holy shit!” I thought.
“Yes. That is why Tinia was so angry, and why, after spending an eon tracking us down, Zeus scattered us to the four corners of the universes. And it is why so many have died trying to reunite Thesan’s Te’trad. For it was written that he that commands the Te’trad will be amongst the most powerful of all the gods.”
“Is that why I keep hearing this voice telling me to find the codex?” I asked.
“We know not the voice,” Flaminia replied. “However, my sisters, the twin rings, tell me that our brother is not far away. And that he is being held prisoner by Tha... “
“Michael?” Ileana called out my name, and breaking my concentration. “Where are you? It’s time to leave.”
The agitation I felt at being interrupted just when Flaminia was about to tell me something that might lead me to the armor, caused me not to be able focus again quickly. Then sighing in exasperation, I startled all four women when I suddenly re-appeared on the loveseat.
Princess Grace, who had not witnessed my reappearance, just stumbled slightly as her daughter, who did witness my reappearance, bumped into her mother as she let out a muffled ‘eek’.
“Qué chingados!” exclaimed Luisa.
“My sincerest apologies, your highness. I did not mean to alarm you or Caroline,” I said.
“What about what you did to me?” Luisa blurted. “You just about scared the bejesus out of me!”
“My apologies to you as well,” I said, still offering no explanation. “Did someone say it was time to leave?”
“You really must be more careful, My Prince,” Ileana giggled as she took my arm and led me out of the suite.
...
After the excitement of last night, our visit to the UN was anti-climactic. Although tensions were very high, there were no problems. We did, however, notice an increase in Federal Agents, and one of them, from the US Marshall’s Office, mentioned to Anna and Louisa that the three attackers that came through the window had been identified and that the information had already been shared with the Prince of Monaco.
In fact, probably the most excitement of the whole visit occurred in the UN Dining Room. I just couldn’t believe that they had served me an actual ‘cow’s tongue’ on my salad.
“Mother said that Tapato will soon have to appoint a delegate to the UN,” Ileana shared with me as we were seated in the visitor’s galley for Princess Grace’s speech. And while I found the diplomatic posturing routinely dull, I think that Ileana was fascinated with all she witnessed. I know that she was bubbling with excitement as we headed back to the hotel, discussing with Caroline all about how great her mother’s speech had been and how she admired Princess Grace for all her work with UNICEF.
At the hotel, we found that our things had been moved to a smaller room, but since Princess Grace and her entourage had decided to return to Monaco tonight, we decided that we would just change clothes and head for Seven Oaks.
“Louisa, would you like to spend the rest of the weekend with us?” I asked the agent after we had all changed.
“Michael? Anna quickly thought to me. “Are you sure?”
I just ignored her.
“Well, I was going back to DC to work on my report...” the agent started
“Come on, Agent Rivera. You need a day off. Come join us. I think you will find it both fun and very educational!” Anna told her.
“Tell me, Luisa. How long have you worked for the FBI?” I asked her as I picked up our bags
Ileana and Anna held up our end of the conversation as we made the drive out to Long Island. While I wanted to focus again on Flaminia’s story, unfortunately, there was not room for her in the car, so she was in her case in the trunk.
Instead, I began to scan and check up on the family, starting with Catherine. When I found her and David, I didn’t disturb them, since they seemed to be deep in conversation. But she knew I was there and smiled at me. I did see that they were in an airplane and they expected to be back to Seven Oaks later this afternoon.
Next, I checked in on Nicky and discovered she was at the office with Adriana, Vickie, Grace, Izzy, Amy, and Shelly. I also noted that Beth was there with them.
“What in heaven’s name are you all doing at the office on a Saturday?” I asked with a smile. “Especially when that ogre of a boss of yours is out gallivanting around the UN with dignitaries and eating cow’s tongue?”
“Yuck, Michael. And in case you have forgotten, we’re flying to the South Pacific tomorrow! So this is the last chance for all of us to take care of all the last minute details so your company can continue to run smoothly, Mr. Ogre!” Adriana thought back
I could hear a chorus of giggles and ‘atta-girl’s’ in the background.
“Well, Anna and I are through with our adventure and headed home. And, we’re bringing company,” I told them.
