dimensional device, Bellasaris and Gorgo opened a portal and departed back through to what Prime Minister Landau described as ‘The Hidden City of The Elders’. Gorgo looked at Bellasaris and grinned. “You know, you were once a little too accommodating to the monkeys and the mutant prudes of Earth too once. Don’t be too hard on the girl.”
    “Yes, that is true,” said Bellasaris. “But on Earth I had to placate the humans and our potential allies for our own survival. Beral is not so bound. The humans of Earth can eat shit for all I care and the Akkadians too. Where is Cato? I’m going to that party, and I’ll want to, how do those Earth people say, ‘Get-My-Groove-On’ before the night is over. (Heh!) And I won’t be the only one. Did you see the way that little girl from the Forest Kingdom was looking at Prince Tabba?”
    “You know she’s my son Harold’s descendant,” said Gorgo.
    Bellasaris chuckled. “And he is descended from your son, Marius, and my daughter, Beral I, as well. But there has been plenty of new blood in between. They are very distant cousins. Yes, it will be alright for them to mate.”
    “If the boy is willing ,” said Gorgo. “He didn’t seem interested to me. And she seemed very angry with him for ignoring her.”
    Bellasaris looked at Gorgo and shook her head. That she, a feral mutant herself, hadn’t picked up what had occurred was quite amusing. “Dear sister, didn’t you notice the girl’s reaction when the boy growled at her? I mean her first reaction…just for a few seconds. I saw it! Oh, he turned her on! Is she pissed that he was indifferent to her…seemingly? Yes. But that one is a pisser! She’ll have her way. And I’ll see to it! I’ve already given Beral III mental instructions to see to it that her son not only continues to wear his face covering, but his formal clothes as well at the party tonight.”
    Gorgo made a face, “Why?!”
    “You’ll see,” said Bellasaris with a giggle. “The empress was a little taken aback as well, especially after what I had told her . But she agreed to trust me on this one. That little girl will be dying to know what his face looks like and what’s under all those ridiculous clothes. I predict she’ll be tearing those things off of him before the night is out. Hah! And if the boy is as attractive of face and form as his father, and I assure you he is, it won’t stop there.” Bellasaris grinned evilly. She knew the prudish humans and Akkadians would be absolutely speechless, horrified. In fact, incensed! “With a little luck, they’ll bond and formal marriage negotiations will begin as soon as the great summit is concluded.”
    “Why are you so bent on those two becoming mates?” asked Gorgo. She knew her sister well; there was more than just whim to all of this.
    “From the time when your son Harold first destroyed that bastard, Tarrack, and freed the region from his iron fisted rule, that nation has been ruled by men…until now. For now, a queen sits in power, but a bonding between a prince of the main house to that little fireball could insure a continued female succession during the marriage negotiations that will follow. Princess Abe has several siblings, but she is the one that is most outstanding among her sisters.”
    “She has three older brothers,” said Gorgo with a sigh.
    Bellasaris made a face and said, “Her brothers are capable, but I like her . I can’t help it. Male ruled nations make me nervous. And that nation founded a few hundred years ago in the western wilderness hasn’t helped. We were almost too late with that one. It’s STILL a problem to this day. What a nightmare!”
    “Hold on now, Sister,” said Gorgo, “the women started that one! And…”
    “No, it was one woman who started that shit,” snapped Bellasaris, “and the rest of those idiots followed like sheep.”
    “Willingly,” replied Gorgo dryly.
    “That bitch!” snarled Bellasaris. “She started something that
