The dragon was not the attention of the town, but the woman riding it. She was a goddess in human form. Her white hair fluttered with the breeze, her golden eyes made any gold bar look worthless in comparison, lips as rosy as a pink flower, the body of the most beautiful Fersian princess and a smile that could make a man stand in awe. Trivia was wearing a long white shirt and a short white skirt, being held by a thick black leather belt. Her hair was styled back with a headpiece looking like a crown. On her ears were some beautiful sapphire earrings and on her hands were two rings, one made from a white stone like material while the other was made from silver with a blue stone in the center. Everyone stood in awe as this woman looked at Red directly. Trivia jumped down from the dragon's back and onto the ground making a clean landing. She slowly started walked towards Red but he stood still with a surprised expression. The others were stood behind him with a confused look, Amélia and Maria however were with a face of shock. Such a beautiful woman exists and they could not believe their eyes,

"Trivia? What are you doing here?" Red asked,

Trivia said nothing and just kept walking towards him. As she got close, she opened her arms and hugged him around his neck, resting her forehead on his chest. A small tear could be seen emerging from her right eye. Red heard a small whimper and sigh of relief coming from her and hugged her back placing his arms around her back,

"3 years, 45 weeks and 5 days. That's how long... How long I haven't seen you. Where were you?" Trivia asked him with a small cry,

Red made a small smile of sympathy and replied "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't want to leave", he told her avoiding the question,

"You fool, you utter fool. You know better than to make me wait",

Red hugged her tighter, as if to apologise further,

"Hyuga has been waiting for you as well" Trivia told him,

"I'm sorry, but I don't know the name" Red replied with confusion,

Suddenly Trivia lift her head and stared at Red's eyes. Coming upon realization she whispered to herself "Oh... I see... Its gotten worse",

Trivia took a deep breath and backed away from Red. She composed herself and cleared her tears. She then looked behind Red and saw Karla running towards her,

"TRIVIA!!" she screamed as she ran,

Trivia placed a smile as Karla hugged her with full force,

"I see you're still as lively as ever",

Karla just hugged her, ignoring her comment,

Ghalia also stepped closer,

"Ghalia, my good man, how is the workshop?",

"Could be better if you were there to test my work" he replied with a chuckle,

Trivia then noticed Amélia and Maria and looked towards Red,

"I see you've acquired some new friends",

"Yes, these are Amélia and Maria" as he said their names each of them gave a small bow "they are traveling with me to Savanna",

"Oh, I see" Trivia walked closer towards them. She stopped in front of Amélia and bowed "A pleasure to make your acquaintance. I am Trivia Uriel Emerald, First Queen of Savanna",

Coming to realization of the words she had just heard, Amélia quickly bowed her heard while kneeling down" Your Highness, I apologise for my rudeness. I was unknowing you were someone of such class",

"Oh please, please stand. Any who are friends of Red are friends of I, please stand",

Trivia then looked towards Maria, who had the gleamieat eyes of joy and wonder and crouched down "You must be Maria. A beautiful name for such a beautiful little girl",

"Thank you so much Your Highness!" she replied with a smile,

Trivia gave her a smile and looked towards Red "You didn't tell them?",

"No, not yet" he replied scratching his head "Anyway, not to mean to change the subject but how in the world did you find me?",

As Trivia explained it to him, Amélia approached Ghalia "They seem extremely friendly considering she's a queen",

Ghalia gives a small chuckle before explaining "They've been close for a very long time. I don't think they care what everyone else thinks about formalities",

"Yeah, but, for a guy like him to know the queen of Savanna, and to talk so freely to her, this goes far beyond friendship",

"Well you'll understand soon enough" he replied,

As Trivia and Red finished their conversation, the group were greeted by a gentleman with a suit. He appeared to be high in class and quite wealthy. As he approached he bowed down to Trivia,

"Your Highness, what have I the pleasure of your presence upon my town?",

"Oh I do apologise for my rudeness, but I was just looking for this person before you",

"No need for apologies Your Highness, we are but humble people in your presence",

Trivia turned back to Red and the group and with a smile she asked,

"Would you like a ride?",
