When we all walked in, we were met with extremely stoic faces, until Adrien and Julien introduced us to the group of seven. Adrien introduced Luna Abby last, “And this is Abigail Riggs and her husband, Damien Riggs. Abby and Chloe have an idea that they would like to present to you, and Julien and I feel that it would go a long way to reduce, or eliminate, the poaching problem we currently have. One of the council members, an older woman with dark black hair, spoke in a harsh tone, “Why is poaching a city problem?” Adrien smiled, “If we keep catching poachers at the rate we are now, this town will soon be a ghost town. They are also becoming violent to Chloe and Aidinth, because they call us every time they hear them on their land.” The woman’s eyes widened, “I apologize for the harsh tone. I am sorry they are getting so crazy. Why don’t you tell us your idea?” Luna Abby starts, “Because of the poaching problems here, we would like to host a carnival and animal education eve

I woke up Friday morning in a pretty good mood. We had been working hard on the event all week, and I knew that it was going to be very informative and fun for everyone. Luna Abby and I had been working on the food for the carnival for the last few days. We started with the foods that we knew would be okay if we cooked them ahead of time. Things like chili for the chili dogs, and a few kinds of refrigerated pie. Today, we need to do a sampling of the menu for the carnival for our working lunch at city hall.  I took my shower and put on a business casual outfit. I walked downstairs, and Luna Abby was already working on breakfast, “Good m

I turned around and saw one of the first poachers that we caught. I looked at the man like he had three heads, “I am not a tree hugger. I’m not an activist at all. Come to the presentation at eleven this morning. You will see just how lucky you got.” The man said, “I look forward to it.”   We walked away and Aidinth said, “You do know how hard it was for me to stay out of that, don’t you?” I laughed, “I do know how hard that was for you, and I do appreciate you giving me the chance to handle it myself.” He held me close, “You are my world. I will do everything in my power to keep you happy.” I snuggled closer to him as we walked, “I know. That’s why I love you so much.”

After the guys left, Aidinth and I decided to go to the castle and talk with King Uther and Queen Chumani about our upcoming trip. When we got there, Queen Chumani met us on the steps, “Chloe! I’m so happy you came out today. Kai just called me and said that she found the building she would like to have for her salon. Do you want to come with me so we can set her up?” I smiled, “That’s so awesome! Of course, I’ll go!” She and I hop into another vehicle, while Aidinth joins his dad for paperwork.   When the vehicle stops, we step out and see Kai standing in front of her building. She raises her arms above her head, “What do you think?” I smiled, “Let’s take a look at the inside.” After looking at the inside, seeing that it

The next morning, I got up early, took my shower, got dressed and went to get breakfast. As I sat down in the private dining room, Queen Chumani sat with me. I was afraid to say anything, but she looked like shit! Her eyes had dark circles and they were red. Her nose was slightly swollen, and she just looked tired. I asked her, “Are you okay?” She smiled as she hugged me, “I’m more than fine. Uther and I were both up late last night just staring at your mural. I cried almost all night, because I just feel elated that you feel close enough to us to paint that scene.” I gushed, “Aw. You are too sweet! Of course, I feel that close to you. I have considered you all family since I was six years old. It’s just an added bonus that we are actually family now. I love you all.” She pulled back from the hug, and I started seeing her eyes fill up again. I took a napkin from the table and handed it to her. I have a salon appointment at nin
