Let the true heir be known. Let there be peace..." The chants continue on and on for the length of a candle (one hour) when the mystic finally falls to the ground in exhaustion.The other three rush ovber to pick him up, the ritual is over.  All that is left is to deliver the news- but he is too weak to speak.  The king immediately rushes over to his side, "So?"  He points to Underwood.... and in a weak voice "female" .  A loud roar comes over Underwood and his wife.  The guards frown anticipating what is to come.  He then points to Dryka... ""female" .  And a sigh of relief comes over the king, and the brothers.  Mandar smiles, as he thinks to himself, "at least there is one of us".  Then he points at Mandar's wife... "i am sorry, but i cannot tell.  A dragon is a magical creature..." The king bursts into cheers as he hears the news.  Mandar's child is a full dragon.  Dryka's child is a girl.  At last, his kingdom may rest for the future is secure in peace, prosperity, and protection.Streamers and confetti fall from the ceiling as the guards start to play their horns.  "Let the celebrating commence!!" cried the king as he runs over to Mandar's wife, Ederoi- "My beautiful child, you don't know happy you have made me tonight... and you Aidan (Dryka's wife) that child has a great future ahead of it..." completely forgetting about Underwood, the king turns to the court and screams, "My kingdom will fluorish once again.Keeping an eye on Underwood, Vriseya recognises a frown came over his face, his teeth clenched, and his eyes teary as he was completely forgotten in the celebration.  He grabs his wife and they rush out of the main court... His screams echoing down the halls.Bob watches as he rushes out- with a nervous smile on his face... a look of confusion...Mandar smiles at his victory, but also a worries of what is to happen in the days to follow.</blockquote>
