"Hector... Hector wake up." John whispered to her.
"I don't want to... They'll make me... make pointless speeches." She muttered in her sleep, snuggling up to Victor some more.
"Priscilla, you have to meet the king in ten minutes." He harshly whispered to her.
Hector bolted up in shock and nearly rolled off the seat. "The... the hell. John, how many times have I told you NEVER to do that to me?" She asked, rubbing her head and acting grumpy.
"I'm serious. We're on the road and we'll be at the palace in less then ten minutes. You have to get ready." John told her.
"Are you kidding me?! F***!!" Hector said, starting to swear under her breath. She sat up strait and John began adjusting her corset so that it made her chest mostly flat. "Ahh- ah! It hurts." She said, trying to hold in her pain as she gripped the side of the seat.
"I know. I know. Just bear it for a little bit." John said then turned to Victor. "Hold these." he said handing Victor a sword and sheath while helping her into her dress jacket.

Victor took the weapons and held them while watching John fix Hector's uniform to hide her breasts. He was thinking on mentioning Leigh on board, but figured John would do that if he felt it was needed.

"There. Looks good." John said. He then took the sword from Victor and handed it to Hector.
"No John." Hector said, taking deep breaths to help adjust to her corset.
"It's the king." John replied. "You'll regret it later."
"Fine." She huffed, snatching the sword and putting it on her belt. She then peeled back the drapes for a second and winced. "It's so damn bright outside..." She muttered, covering her eyes. "This... I'm going to hate this..." She muttered.
"You'll be fine." John told her as they arrived at the palace. Hector stepped out first, as was customary and bit her bottom lip to keep from swearing because of the bright light as a group of escorts greeted her. John then got out and signaled Victor to follow.

Leigh looked up at the man doing the questions. "I'm am Leigh Vashyron, even though that is not necessarily my real name, but my adopted name. Before you ask, I do not know my real name, nor my own identity. I was an orphan for a long time. As to why I was on the ship. I know the commander, from Gunther's royal palace. I met him by chance, during the confusion of Hector being assaulted by one of the soldier." Leigh wasn't lying, and nor did she try to hide the fact that her name was a fake. However, she had a feeling they would think of her as spy, and still question to why she was on the ship now. Heck she didn't even know that one. She was just showing kindness, and in the mist of stocking the ship, the ship took off.
 Azura told Cedric to find a spot among the ship that he could be most useful in. When it was decided, he would be alerted by one of the butler's on the ship. The ship took off shortly after settling Cedric into his Quarters. As they took off the rest of the way to Ander. Azura went in his cabin Quarters, and laid his head on the desk. Thinking of how he would punish Leigh for leaving him with such a headache, but he also thought about her safety. She was fun and entertaining to be around. Thus was the reason why he wanted her to be his bride.

"Alright. Now if you knew the commander, why are you in this predicament. Obviously, you were in a place where you shouldn't have been, which was on Lord Hector's ship." The inquisitor said to Leigh.
((Azura arriving and getting Leigh? ))

Cedric had taken a spot where he only knew how to work, one of the port side cannons 'deja vu' Cedric thought as he remembered his short time on Hectors ship.
Cedric worked throughout most of the trip, he was becoming accustomed to working like a soldier
Only a few hours had passed and Shepard was already crossing the border into Ander, his airship was small, designed mostly for speed. He was set on continuing the mission but he was also concerned, he didn't know what had happened to Cedric.

Victor followed behind John and Hector into where the commander was meeting the king.

Hector was led inside the old palace where several guards were standing by and mechanics were helping with renovations. What wasn't old and being torn down was new and current technology. "Looks like they've gotten a lot done." John muttered. Hector said nothing.
"The king will see you in a moment." The guard told Hector.
"Good good. I need a moment." She replied, and began stretching on the beautiful Hannon carpet extending from the center of the grand hall. "This isn't good. What doesn't hurt is stiff." She told John.
"You'll be fine." John replied before turning to Victor. "Whatever you do, don't be alarmed. Hector is a professional, even if he is currently injured."
A moment later, the guard returned just as Hector was done stretching. "The king and the prince will see you now."
"Good." Hector said, motioning Victor and John to follow. As soon as she stepped inside, she gripped the sword at her belt, only to find herself quickly drawing it to defend against a sword attack from behind the door. "Good afternoon, your majesty." She said, as the two began sword fighting.
"My God, what happened to you?" He asked, in between strikes. "I've been practicing all week, and you come back no fun at all."
"I got punched in the stomach twice, my head slammed against a table, and a night in a freezing cold hell hole. I think that's enough of a handicap." She told him as they kept fighting.
"This one may take a while." John warned Victor. Though Hector was weak, her swordsmanship was almost unbelievable.

"I see" Victor said as he watched the sparring. He had taken off his military cap upon entering the building and now held it at his side.

After a few minutes, the prince began to overpower Hector. Just when it seemed like she would loose, she spun, knocking him off balance and causing him to drop his weapon. She then pointed her sword toward the kings neck. "Enough. You win again." the prince said. "So tell me the news."
"Gunther was acting as you predicted. No surprise there." Hector replied. "The king was greedy and demanding too much. Service was terrible. Their military was a mess. Honorable, but a mess. And to make things worse, the Prince of Gunther was as bad as the rumors said." Hector stated simply. "But you're right. I think they are hiding something."
"Well, I was hoping you would tell me if they were." The king replied.
"Your majesty, the place was a rock of ice. If they had anything, it would be in the mountains or to the north. I didn't see anything on the way there." Hector said. "Nothing but white for miles and miles. Please don't send me back there again. Ever."
"I'll consider it." The king replied.

"what news is there?" Shepard shouted the order to the five men in the room.
"Sir a few hours ago an Ander ship crash landed in a port after it was attacked"
Shepard smiled, thinking of only one person who would foolishly destroy an airship. "What else?"
"after the incident was handled a single airship left and headed for the capital."
"he wouldnt dare go to the Ander capital would he?" Shepsrd asked himself, he pondered on the idea for a few moments more before yelling out his next order. "Full speed ahead then" the men instanteley knew what to do, the ship turned, heading towards the capital.
