The group followed suit and walked towards the dining area. The five of them stayed close to each other as they walked.
As they entered the banquet hall- they were surrounded by a very glamerous setting. Candle light surrounded the edges - stained glass took up the upper walls, a few archways leading into different parts of the castle showed. The queen stood regally in front of everyone at the far end of the table.
There was a large table in the center of the room- it was covered with silverware and tablecloth- and had approximately forty or so seats- for all the guests. At the far end- there were two chairs- where the king and queen would sit. The queen stood behind her chair to welcome the guests' arrivals.
As the group approached the table the queen took notice and gave them a quick wave. Next to the queen the group noticed Tallaeya as well- who gave them a large smile. The queen looked quite fashionable- and Tallaeya looked very colorful.
As they were ushered to their own seats- Narice noticed that everyone stood on a side of their chair- with their attention turned to the queen- so he followed suit.
He wasn't very prone to mannerisms of the court but Elera explained the custom.
She whispered, "She'll give a few words to the guests welcoming them, and then we'll be allowed to sit..."
It seemed there were many servants nearby ready to serve the group. As everyone settled in their place- the queen spoke.
"Welcome honored guests!
"On behalf of Aarock and myself- thankyou very much for appearing to our summons in a such a timely fashion. Aarock will not be arriving until early tomorrow morning and will not join us tonight. Please be seated!"
It may have been his imagination but Narice noticed the demeanor of certain diplomats lighten up upon the statement regarding Aarock not arriving. Everyone took their seats.

"As you have come from many places near and far- we've made a special dinner for your arrival- please enjoy yourselves tonight."
The queen followed suit by sitting and waiting for the food to be passed out among everyone
At this time the first course was passed out to them.
"ooh," Mika spoke looking at an the entre, while he was about to take up a fork- someone put their hand on his to stop him.
"That would be a mistake," came a whisper from an older gentleman as he pointed towards the queen. Mika turned his attention to the queen and noticed that everyone seemed to be watching her move. She then took a sip from a drink and nodded politely as well as tried a bite- after which everyone seemed to eat.
"Now you're good," the old man spoke to Mika.
---
As Narice looked to his surrounding group he noticed an older gentleman and older woman across from him along with Mika. Elera was on his right and on his left was Kale. Sari was actually close to her mother and a couple chairs away and Venu was on the opposite side of Kale.

Legendary Farmer (available on Kindle July 2022!)
NOTE: Legendary Farmer is now COMPLETE. The first book, Clearing, was released on Kindle Unlimited July 5, 2022 with significant edits. I will post the first chapter of Clearing, as well as three chapters of Cuckoo's Dream, another novel in the LF universe, as a stub, with a link to the first book, so if you love LF and want me to be able to keep writing consistently, please go give Clearing five stars! In the VRMMORPG, Veritas Online, things are getting a little stale. Since the game launched, only one world- wide event has occurred, and that was a year ago.. The players are still having fun, but everyone agrees it’s about time for something big to happen. Everybody tends to forget that big things grow from small things, and little things are always changing in Veritas.The human country of Quarternell is at peace for the first time in... ever. Aspen, a former war hero, feels like he’s earned a quiet life together with his animal companions. They’re tired of fighting, and other people in general. They plan to live peacefully, far away from the city. As soon as Aspen figures out this farming thing out, he’s never going to go anywhere again. Unfortunately for Aspen, his country and his goddess aren’t quite done with him yet.Rouge the Rogue is a casual gamer in Veritas Online. She’s just a kid, and her focus is supposed to be on school and hanging out with friends. Emphasis on ‘supposed to’. She’s already pretty good at the school thing, and she doesn’t actually have that many friends. What she really loves is exploring all the cool ways the developers of Veritas found to make their game unique and realistic. Then she’s offered a very special quest, and an opportunity to go beyond the average player. She’s never been that much of a rule follower anyway....Clearing is appropriate for most ages. It has minimal foul language, no sex, and some violence. It is LGBTQ+ friendly. (P.S. IMPORTANT! This book contains very mild profanity, no sex, and is meant to be FUN. Yes, the characters sometimes think Deep Thoughts, and idealism pretty much runs rampant, but, in the end, I hope you just enjoy reading it. Laugh, cry, share it with your kids, read it to your dog, whatever makes you happy. My goal is for it to be accessible to everyone from ages 12ish on up, so you could definitely consider it YA, but with lots of big words because I don't believe in talking down to my readers.) Book Two: Harrowing (Starts after the original Chapter Fifty, now Sixteen, since I condensed chapters from the same perspective together.) Zoey has started her summer internship at Veritas Corporation, and she can honestly say that being an adult is boring. Until she starts learning secrets she was never supposed to know. In game, Rouge is finally making progress on her big quest. Apparently Duke Penbrooke took too long to return to the world, so the world is coming to get him... in the form of a few assassins. Aspen is going to have to face the life he left behind, and deal with the fact that it's not as easy being 'dead' as he thought. When what he'd hoped would be a short trip back to civilization to resupply turns into a whole lot more, he'll have to fight for his life, his friends, and his kingdom. Book Three: Sowing Rouge and Aspen have reached Bright, only to find that their enemies were already expecting them. They will have to quickly unravel the mysteries of who their opponents actually are, because they're already ten steps behind. Rouge and Aspen are finally home, but that doesn't mean they can return to their peaceful days of farming. Their enemies are hot on their heels and determined to destroy everything they've managed to achieve. Join them and all their friends for the final volume of Legendary Farmer.

The Nether Wolf [CURRENTLY ON HIATUS!]
THE AUTHOR IS TAKING SOME TIME OFF.NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SMALL HIATUS MENTIONED LATER ON THE DESCRIPTION. WRITING WILL RESUME LATER THIS MONTH (FEBRUARY). Don't you just hate it when you're walking home from school and you accidentally stumble into another dimension? And now you're stuck in there with no way out, thinking of what to do in this medieval kinda world. Well at least it seems safe...It seems that some people have problem with multiple POV (Point of View) characters and so I'm deciding to alter the description to mention, that sometimes in the story we see the world from other people's point of view than our MC's (Main Character). But there is a MC and the point of view changes are few, except for short point after the season 1 ends. These are mostly done to expand the world and introduce plot elements, nothing more.This story is written in manner of seasons, which aren't marked in the chapter titles and don't really affect your reading experience, but between the seasons are small, 2-7 day hiatuses so the writer can rest and plan.Oh, the website released a mature-content tagging rules, so here: Warning, Mature [17+] Violence,gore and occasional swearing. Mainly put it at 17+ so it doesn't restrict me, but story could be considered as 15+, no way 18+ though.
