About two years later, Helthena, Farah, and Koltor have doing well in their classes with Krolia and Cressida, two years back Krolia and Kolivan had twin girls named Jatra and Elav. Keith and Bellatrix recently had a baby girl named Fallon. Based on Elara's current quintessence levels, she now has seventeen years left, she already explained it to the Bellatrix and Zanthea, along with close friends who were like family without a single doubt. Zarkon wished he could do something to keep her around for more than seventeen years but knew she didn't want it that way. It saddened him. Their older two daughters felt awful knowing Elara what mere years left to live, they barely got to see their mother and it was hard for them to accept. Anyway, Helthena and Farah were mischievous little six year olds, everyone in the knew it. They had just pulled a devious prank on dear Uncle Sendak. Zarkon and Elara were walking through the palace halls when they saw a little mouse dart by and barking following.

"OH MY GODS!! HELP ME!!"

They two were lost for words when they saw. They caught sight of their two Great Danes chasing after the mouse their leashes tied to Sendak's feet, which could only mean that they were dragging him through the palace as they ran after the mouse. Deep down Zarkon and Elara wanted to laugh their asses off but had to be serious, they already had a chat with their daughters about these pranks and they weren't happy. Somewhere in the Palace the two little girls were giggling to themselves hearing Sendak scream for help but then they heard two other people screaming.

"HELTHENA!!!"

"FARAH!!!"

"Uh oh..." Farah quietly yelped.

"We're in trouble... " Helthena said quietly.

"Where are they?" They heard Zarkon ask a palace guard.

"Run!" They whispered to each other.

"Don't even try it." Elara said from right behind them.

"Oh... Hi mommy." The girls said at the same time as they look up at her.

"Why did you do that to your uncle?" Elara asked seriously.

"W-We didn't do anything!" Farah said nervously.

"I'm not going to fall for that." Elara chuckled.

"Why not?" Helthena asked, using puppy dog eyes.

"Because I'm not your father." Elara chuckled.

"Every damn time huh?" Zarkon growled from behind her.

"Oh shit." Elara gasped, the two girls gasped loudly.

"Ooooh daddy! Mommy said a bad word!" They said, pointing at Elara.

"Don't worry I'll deal with her later." Zarkon said, glaring evilly at Elara, who instantly got very, very nervous.

"Anyway! You two cannot be pulling these pranks, we know you finished your classes for the day but that doesn't mean you run and cause chaos." Elara lectured.

"Your mother is right. You two need to keep your shenanigans in your own room. Go to your room it's getting late." Zarkon said seriously.

"Ok..." The two said as they walked to their shared room.

"I'm gonna go get Koltor and Delilah from Cressida and get them in bed. Go ahead and continue the lecture." Elara said. 

"Alright then, but what are gonna about the mouse?" Zarkon asked.

"Trap and release, unless Scorpio and Virgo got to it already." Elara said, cringing a bit.

"I think they did..." Zarkon said.

"Oh well, that's just nature." Elara sighed.

"I told you we should have gone with chihuahuas." Zarkon said sharply.

"How would the mighty 10 foot tall Emperor Zarkon look cuddling a five pound dog?" Elara asked, folding her arms.

"How does the strongest woman in the known universe, seven and a half foot tall Empress Elara look with two 110 pound dogs?" Zarkon snapped.

"How do you think I look?" Elara asked, grinning slyly.

"Hot as hell... I can never win." Zarkon groaned in annoyance.

"Nope." Elara chuckled.

"I hate that you're always right." Zarkon said.

"But you love me." Elara said innocently.

"Quiznack... I do, more than you even know." Zarkon,slightly smiling down at her.

"Aww I love you too you adorable reptile." She purred.

"You know what... I'll take that."
