The portal hummed to a close as five tall, extremely pale, regal figures appeared in the middle of the Haligan proper, amidst a crowd of their residents. Half breeds and others alike dispersed as they gawked at the surprise visitors, striking white hair glistening in the bright winter sun. Many of the older rebels squinted slightly at the strangers, wondering to themselves why they seemed familiar.
“Malayari. Keep close.” the apparent head of the group said in a low voice to one of the females of their group. She was clutching the hand of her lady-in-waiting beside her, staring off into space without looking at anything.
One of the other visitors turned to Sokka, and said in a commanding voice, “You there. Do you know where Lady Grey is? Tell her that the Royal Nokkines have arrived.”

“Uhhh…yeeeaaahhh…” Sokka said eying the strangers closely. “She…she’s in the Great Hall with her husband. Follow me, I can take you there.”
Jun 21, 2020
It was evident amongst the males that they weren’t too pleased at the idea of having to walk on solid ground, but Malayari brushed past her brother with a small, excited smile on her face, followed closely by her lady-in-waiting. The other three sighed, and followed the guard, seemingly floating on the ground. They continuously attracted stares and whispers from the rebels around them as they entered the Great Hall.

Grey was sitting at the table in her throne with Brandt on her right and with her council sitting there. The doors opened, and Sokka ran in to the Chief and her husband. 
“Chief Grey, some strangers are here on the island,” he explained. “They came through a portal and asked to see you.”
As soon as Sokka mentioned the portal, Grey raised her eyebrows and realized that they were in fact the Oceans. Akkey had gotten them to help, and they finally made it to Haligan Island. 
Sokka nodded and looked outside to the Nixes. “You may go in now,” he said.

They slipped past him even before he finished his sentence, striding up to where the Chief and her husband sat.
Libulan sniffed under his breath. He stood tall and self assured, but he toned down his cadence and shifted into something a little more friendly, for the sake of their history, “Lady Grey. You remember my aides, Ambon and Rawi. And my sister, Malayari, and her aide Azul.”
Jun 21, 2020
“Of course, I remember, Your Highness,” Grey said with a small smile on her face. “It’s good to see you again. I trust that you remember my husband and my second-in-command, Sir Brandt.”
“Good to see you, Your Highness,” Brandt said. “Thank you for coming to Haligan Island.”
Jun 21, 2020
Libulan and his escorts nodded their greetings in return. In the twenty years that had passed, none of the nixes had changed in features, other than growing much taller in height and in hair length. The crown prince glanced down at the chief, noting to himself how much she had aged, but still remained the same beauty that he recalled from before. 
He lifted his line of sight to address them as a whole, “We received the request from Miss Black. My father has permitted the five of us to provide assistance and reinforcements to your mission. Myself, Ambon, and Rawi can provide portals as you see fit, as well.”

“Excellent,” Grey said as she stood up from her throne and walked over to the Nokkines. “I greatly appreciate you willing to help. High Central has been a plague in these lands ever since I was a little girl, but with you guys, we may finally be able to put a stop to it once and for all.”
Jun 21, 2020
Purple eyes followed her she approached their little group, and he nodded, “Of course.”

Grey walked over to the table, showing the map of the continent of Aidorin. “We’ll go over the plans in more detail as we get closer to the raid,” she said, “but for now, I will give you what is in the works at this point. Now, High Central is located in the very center of the mainland, and we plan to use any means necessary to get them to surrender peacefully. However, we will need you and Akkey to help transport the rebels to their base. Once we’re there, we will engage, and if High Central refuses to surrender, then we will need all hands on deck to fight them off.”

“We will be enough without needing Miss Black’s assisstance,” Libulan replied confidently, peering down at the parchment , following the lines and routes and structures that the Haligan chief pointed out. He hummed in acknowledgement, “Understood. We will be your mode of transportation, and provide any needed attack and defense power.”
Jun 21, 2020
“Great,” Grey said with a smile. “In the meantime, we have some lodging prepared for you, your sister, and your aides just off the plaza of the village. Anything you need, feel free to ask, and food will be provided here in the Great Hall. We have several wells for water, and if there is anything you need, feel free to ask.” 
Jun 21, 2020
Libulan opened his mouth to respond, but was interrupted by a soft grin from the princess beside him, “Thank you, Lady Grey. Would it be alright if I explored the island with Azul?” Rawi turned his head to glare at her for daring to speak over her older brother, but it was ignored. Malayari’s pale eyes stared straight ahead, unfocused on anyone, but also excited mutely.
Jun 21, 2020
“You’re welcome, Your Highness,” Grey replied with a small smile as Brandt walked up to him and wrapped an arm around his wife’s shoulder, “and of course, feel free to go anywhere you would like. I can send for a guide to walk around with you.”

“Ah can show her ‘round.” A voice suddenly called. Deo had been watching the Nokkines since they arrived, and she was absolutely captivated by the princess. And to have an opportunity to show her around personally? She would have to be braindead to pass up an opportunity like that.
Jun 21, 2020
“Oh, Deo,” Grey said as she turned to see Deoiridh standing nearby. “I didn’t see you there.” She turned back to the royals. “Uh, Your Highnesses, this is my adoptive sister, Deoiridh, and…because she so…” the Chief raised an eyebrow at the teenaged girl, “willingly volunteered, she will be your guide on Haligan Island.”
Jun 21, 2020
The prince and his aides glanced at each other in hesitation, “Malayari…” Libulan began slowly, but the princess turned her head towards him as if she was looking at him.
“Come now, brother. You know why I wanted to join you on this mission. To see more than beyond the confines of our kingdom.” she let Azul’s hands go for a brief moment to grip his, “I will be alright. I will be with Azul. And with the Chief’s sister. You trust her judgement, no?”
The crown prince pressed his lips in silence. Since they had met the rebels many years ago, Malayari had changed from the meek, submissive princess to someone who spoke her mind more often. It wasn’t just her, either. All five of them had been affected by the Chief and her visit.
“Alright,” he conceded, “You may go. We will head over to our lodging and set things in order.”
Jun 21, 2020
“Very well,” Grey said nodding. “Brandt and I will escort you and your aide to the lodging while my sister takes the princess and her aide. We shall have a feast tonight to celebrate your arrival and to officially welcome you to Haligan Island.”
