Today was a busy day for everyone. Zarkon was dealing Daibazaal's needs, Elara was on Altea helping Alfor with some refugees from a planet that died, and the older kids were training with Sendak, the younger olds were with Dayak. Elara rarely ever gets to leave Daibazaal by herself so it was nice to away from the family chaos for a bit.

After long hours of scanning various refugees it seemed a vast majority of them were healthy. Elara is a very caring yet marvelously witty soul but in situations like this she's a very soft, nurturing person. When she and Alfor wrapped up on the last couple of refugees they took a well deserved rest in the Altean mess hall with Melenor.

"Many thanks for coming all this way on such short notice." Alfor said kindly to Elara who sat next to Melenor.

"You're welcome. It was the right thing to do and I needed a break from my terribly overprotective husband and our seven lovely creations." Elara said, smiling somewhat tiredly.

It must be a lot for you. Seven children is a lot of work especially with dealing with the needs of a whole planet on the daily as well." Melenor said.

"It is but it's my obligation so I do what I must." Elara sighed, taking a sip of juniberry cider.

"At least everything is at peace now." Alfor said and sighed in relief.

"Right, everything is fine..." Elara sighed happily.

"EMPRESS ELARA!!"

Galra soldiers bursted into the room, startling everyone.

"What is it?" Elara asked after regaining the breath that knocked out of her.

"We need you to read this holopad message from Emperor Zarkon that he's just sent you." Commander Ladnok said, handing Elara the holopad.

Elara immediately started reading it, having a gut feeling something was wrong. She continued reading until...

"Oh my gods..." she silently gasped.

"What's wrong? Is everything alright?" Melenor asked, seeing her friend in panic.

"Is something wrong within your family?" Alfor asked.

"A comet hit Feyiv..." Elara said in complete disbelief.

"What?!" The two Alteans gasped in unison.

"I need to return to Daibazaal immediately, thank you for this little break but I have to go now." Elara said, getting of her seat immediately.

"If you require any help, just let us know." Alfor said.

"And don't hesitate for a moment Elara." Melenor chimed im, giving a small smile.

Elara nodded and quickly left with Ladnok and the other soldiers to board their ship and return to Daibazaal as soon as they possibly could.
