Chapter 56 - Chapter 29: Return of the Queen

Luna easily tracked down the group waiting. She placed Senn and Achillean down and landed.

 "For a moment I feared the Enderknights would be our enemies." The Tidesinger said as Abbigail dismounted. "I must thank you for rescuing us. May I know your name, sir…?" He hesitantly looked at Abbigail's chest.

 "My name is Abbigail," Everyone was startled by her voice. "First queen of the End."

 The golden warrior was the first to recover from the surprise. "I am glad we have a common enemy, Queen Abbigail."

 "Ugh…" Senn fainted.

 "Is he alright?" Abbigail asked, "Luna's flying could be…quite bumpy." The dragon snorted.

 "Senn?" Ria hurried over and propped Senn up against a tree. She gently patted his cheek. His eyes blinked open as he placed a hand on Ria's. "I'm okay."

 "What happened in there?" Hubris asked.

 "In short," said the Tidesinger, "the Deathsinger got the Mobilium Prime. He has re-allied with the Nether. An invasion is imminent."

 "We can rally back at Ataraxia." Ria suggested, still holding Senn. "The city was built as a haven for the Ardoni. It should be safe enough."

 "Perfect, I just sent one of my Enderknights there with Galleous. After I find my other knights we'll meet you there." She mounted Luna and took off towards the stronghold.

 

 "Are we there yet?" Trevor shouted over the winds.

 "Almost!" Saxon shouted back, "Just a few more drinks!"

 Down the main road, the pair was kicking up enormous dust clouds as they sped towards Crown Peak. Passersby ducked as they zoomed past.

 Meanwhile, Abbigail had noticed the storms in the air. She instructed Luna to land someways ahead of them on the road.

 "Stop!" Screeched Trevor. "Allistar's back!" He and Saxon skidded to a halt right before Luna.

 "Thunderdome!" Saxon said, "You look way smaller zan last time." Luna snorted.

 "Allistar is dead and Thunderdome has left us." The pair were startled by Abbigail's voice as she slid off her dragon. "He attempted to take over the kingdoms, as if he would become the Enderking like in the old days. I arrived in time to stop him." She pointed to her crown and sword. "And also reclaim these. Strangely though, as soon as I had them, they started to glow and the ambassadors all kneeled to me."

 "Yeah…Tre…vor…was…just…telling…me…zat…" Saxon tried to speak through the potion's effects.

 "But first, how are you alive?" Trevor rambled, making no attempt to adjust his speed.

 "Well, I guess we can fill in each other on the way." Abbigail said. "We must rally back at Ataraxia." Trevor and Saxon looked at each other. "I'll show you the way. An invasion is coming. Say, Luna, I don't suppose you can…" she turned to her dragon.

 Luna rolled her eyes and laid down in front of them.

 "Okay, I guess this will be your first time flying." Abbigail said.

 "Nice!" Saxon flashed to Luna's side. "I call ze front!" He stumbled over Luna's paw.

 "Maybe it's best if we wait until the potion wears off." Abbigail suggested.
