Sheba took control for a moment allowing her voice to bend in with my own. "Congratulations to our two fine warriors you have pleased us and made the kingdom proud. Tonight we shall throw a feast in honor of our fine warriors. Please rise and announce your names for everyone to hear." We cheered on the two kneeling down in front of us. They both stood up and turned towards the crowd. Happiness shining in their eyes. Yet I had yet to see the one under the cloaked coverage they wore. Truly I was curious about the person behind the mask. Knowing I had chosen the brute to become my lead guard.

"My name is Harold I'm truly honored to earn my place close to the queen. I promise not to let you down your majesty. My services and life are yours to command." He said he spoke with determination. "You Harold will become my my lead warrior. You will command my army during wars." I explained to him. Placing my hand upon his shoulder. He had the brute strength to fight and knowledge of strategy he would do fine with lead warrior position.

Turning towards the cloaked person that was still kneeling in front of me. A smile crossed my features. "Your skills during this tournament surpassed everyone here today. You have made your kingdom and queen proud. You shall become my beta." I announced to them lowering my head. Trying to get a look under the cloaked veil that covered their face. When they raised their head up I was met with a feminine face with dark black eyes. Sheba was thrilled with this outcome. It was a woman a very skilled woman. "May we know the name that we would call you?" I asked her. I realized that she was not use to the attention that was now upon her. "Azusa, your majesty. Thank you for this wonder opportunity to serve you and our future king. My life and service is at your command." She spoke her voice low but loud enough for everyone to hear. She offered a bow.

Looking out towards the crowd I announce, "Tonight we shall have a feast in honor of our new commander, Harold and our new beta female Azusa. Now everyone go and rest up Azusa you will move your belongings and family into the castle. Commander same for you rooms will be prepared inside fitting for your duties." I explained as Sheba resided back within my head. She was stirring to life within me becoming very excited. Turning around a flurry of feathers fluttered around me as a very well known Raven squawked and showed off. Announcing his usual flurry of greetings towards me. "My queen, My queen," he said showing off before landing on my shoulder. "Good evening Hermod it's nice to see you as usual." I chuckled reaching up to scratch him on the chest. "You are such a special and beautiful bird Hermod." I said tearing my gaze away from him when Sheba kept pressing forward.

"Mate," She growls softly it wasn't a warning growl but one of a burning need. One that I was both afraid of and longed for. A need to feel complete and it was only him that could fill that void. "~only if he desires that too Sheba we will not force him.~" I told her as I looked up at him. I could see the same fire in his eyes and that excited me as well. Had he come here because he had missed me when I visited? Or was it something else? Moving towards him with determination. I kept my greeting professional just in case he had business. "Huginn it is a pleasure to finally see you again." I said looking up into his dark eyes. His burning gaze setting me on fire.
