The motherhouse had been located on a vast estate on the northern slopes of Mount Cadon since time immemorable. Its foundations had been laid before even the mighty citadel had been built, and since then, generations had continued to thrive there, sequestered in the clear, calm air of the mountains, far away from the troubled life of the Capital. It was almost a settlement of its own, housing at any time between twenty and two-hundred members. Neither Rodan or Suri had never spent much time on the grounds as a child, and it still surprised Rodan to see how vast they truly were. The land served no purpose — farming had died out long before their time, and hunting, even as a sport, had been out of fashion for millennia. Perhaps in these uncertain times, people would start to build in this isolated area again.

At present, it was was teeming with people. As she walked onto the landing pad, Rodan could see a small fleet of fliers, skippers and other vehicles scattered on the lawn like boats tied to a mooring, with their solar panels and gleaming metal surfaces ablaze in the last sunlight.

She threw one last unhappy glance at Kyle. Everyone would recognize him instantly for Suri's new alien pet, but on the other hand, Rodan's black and white robes were just as conspicuous, as well as Suri being… herself. She could have tried to go incognito, in civilian clothes — she still owned a number of Arcalian robes with which would have blended in easily among her cousins — but the half-formed plan in her head required the protection of authority. Rodan had therefore chosen her most ostentatious dress uniform, which had gold piping, an impractical sash and a very uncomfortable collar that itched where it came into contact with faded scars from the bomb blast that had nearly killed her during an unfortunate scuffle with a terrorist. Still, there was a difference between being impressive and looking as if you were to be the evening’s entertainment.

"Rodan, you okay?" Suri asked her sister. Rodan sighed. "Yes, I'll be fine. Let's go." she said.

Kyle was still looking around in awe at everything, adjusting the robes lightly and already wishing he was back in clothes he knew well. Every time he though of something like that it made his stomach sink and his heart stop, a sense of sadness and loneliness washing over him. He was sure it showed, normally good at keeping his emotions at bay, but today just wasn't his day as he followed the two females in front.

"Ah. I don't see Eulidia anywhere, or her little protegee, Hildred. Anyways, let's mingle. Find out what we can. Suri, Kai, learn what you can, I'll try and figure out why the," she swore in an unfamiliar tongue, "we're here. Okay?" she asked.
