King Hjallmar walked around the Grand Hall where the ball was being held and he positioned 2 guards outside of the doors to keep the palace secure. Inside the hall were many Sanaatrian soldiers keeping watch over the ball. The wind howled outside and the snow was falling all around the palace, turning the landscape white.

The King was wearing a dark purple and black Sanaatrian Hussar outfit with a cloak on, secured with badges of the Sanaatrian Royal Seal and the symbol of Sanaatrian Religion. Although his partner had recently died, he did not appear to be too upset. He's stood in the centre of the room along with his Daughter, Princess Arya, and son, Prince Damatrii.

The Princess was wearing a Sanaatrian Blue dress with some medals pinned onto it. She's wearing a black Tiara with deep blue jewels.

The Prince is wearing a Ceremonial Soldier outfit. It's black with a Dark Blue stripe going across. He's wearing a beret which has the Sanaatrian eagle on it and he's wearing plenty of medals on his uniform.

Two figures approached the guard, handing over a piece of paper and slowly being given leeway. Two canines slowly walked towards the King shaking off several pieces of snow. This time, the Queen wore a Ruby red tuxedo with the Nuakian Flag's color on his chest, pinned on the right with a pin and the words "Royal", he also wore matching gloves and clean milky white fur, no dirt in sight. Meanwhile the King wore a Royal purple tuxedo, with his regular pin in the same place, and a purple tie, both smiling seeing the King and his family. Slowly both approached and held out their paws, to shake the hands of the family.
"Hello King Hjallmar, nice to see you again" The queen said in a slightly tired tone, his posture very off from the other night. His paw swayed slightly very unstably. yet he seemed relatively still perky and happy tone.
Meanwhile the King seemed tired too, but kept his regular self the same, smiling and laughing at the sight. "Good to see you again Atheil, We are sorry we are so late, we had a situation going on and only recently we managed to fix everything up to get here" The king turned to the rest of the family, bowing down to them slightly and motioning to the Queen, who did the same but tipping slightly."I hope you don't mind" The King then gave his other nation counterpart a rose
"It's tradition to show respect to other royalty of other countries with a rose in Nuakian culture, I hope you do like it" The Queen said, regaining his voice and correcting himself relatively quickly

[Sanaatria]

The King looked at the two royals bowing before him and beckoned for them to rise, "this is my son Prince Damatrii and my Daughter Princess Arya. As you may have heard my partner has recently died and he is, hopefully, in a better place now." The Nuakian Royals are greeted by the children of the King.

As you may have heard my partner has recently died and he is, hopefully, in a better place now." The Nuakian Royals are greeted by the children of the King.

The king slowly placed the rose on the King's hand before his ear drooped "I'm sorry for your loss, I'm sure he is, as for you Daughter and Son, It is nice to meet you two"

Slowly the Queen smiled and looked at the Sanaatrian King, slowly hugging the royalty before trying to smile "Well, we can anyways celebrate his life and as for the Prince and Princess, I brought traditional Nuakian necklaces for all of you" the Queen said, before handing the collar like necklace to each royalty, a different charm on each. "For the King, Prosperity, for the Princess Luck, for the Prince Happiness"

[Vulkata II]

The Vulkatan diplomats got in a train.

The diplomats even inside the train were freezing trying to adapt to the nation's climate.

"Brr why is it so fucking cold?" Thomas said shaking

"Well we weren't informed about the climate but we're diplomats, were supposed to go to another nation and make peace with them spreading Vulkata and bla bla bla" Sasha said and she too was shaking.

"It's a little breezy but i don't mind" said Edwin who even with wearing just a suit and tie wasn't shaking at all "I mean i lived in one of the mountain provinces so it's a breeze for me" he then pulled out his phone and then the theme song of Angry birds was heard but the volume dropped later

The diplomats then ordered some Hot coco or at least something hot to cool them off in the train ride.

"For the King, Prosperity, for the Princess Luck, for the Prince Happiness"

The Princess smiles softly and thanks the Nuakian royals for the gifts. She quickly runs up a flight of stairs before coming down quickly again holding two boxes. She hands them to the Nuakian royalty. The boxes contain a ring which has traditional Sanaatrian carvings in, "Valokein wah Sanaatria friends. I hope you enjoy the gifts I had them made by a tribal specialist in Karthspire. The Prince also collects two boxes from behind his father before presenting them to the Nuakian royalty, "These boxes contain sculptures of the Dragons which are rumoured to have once lived in the mountains of Sanaatria. May they bring you luck and keep you fierce in battle." The prince kisses the hand of the Nuakian Queen and King, "It's a pleasure to meet you both," he gets back onto both feet, "if you need your coats or bags taking to your rooms please don't hesitate to ask some of the servants." His sister pulls him back before giggling and giving him a firm but kind warning to be respectful in Sanaatrian. Although the Prince was 18 the Princess still saw him as her little brother and sought to watch his back. The Princess whispered something to her father in Sanaatrian before making her way to the top of the Palaces spires to watch as the other delegations rolled in. The King turned his attention back to the Nuakian delegation, "She'll be back when the next delegation arrives. She inherited my knack for observation and strategy. This is my son Prince Damatrii, he recently turned 18 and is expected to be drafted for military service soon. I'd imagine his sister will pick him for her fleet. Sorry if he's a little flirty he's inherited my charisma and he's also pretty gay." The king bursts out laughing.

A man dressed in a long black trenchcoat with an Ushanka bearing the Sanaatrian seal on it approached them with what appeared to be a ticket inspecting device, "Zu'u kend koraav ticket." He shakes his head quickly and blinks a few times, "I'm terribly sorry I've just been informed about your visit. I thought you were upper-class Sanaatrian commuters. Please excuse me but I must see your travel documents, it's the border policy."

[Nuak]

The Princess smiles softly and thanks the Nuakian royals for the gifts. She quickly runs up a flight of stairs before coming down quickly again holding two boxes. She hands them to the Nuakian royalty. The boxes contain a ring which has traditional Sanaatrian carvings in, "Valokein wah Sanaatria friends.

Sorry if he's a little flirty he's inherited my charisma and he's also pretty gay." The king bursts out laughing.

The two royals smile, holding the rings gently and then placing them on their paws, smiling back at the princess. also taking the sculptures, they quickly took a peak at them before placing them back. "thank you for your gifts and your warm welcome" the King spoke slowly, giving the prince and gentle nod. Slowly he went over and gave a slip of paper to the prince before returning to his Queen's side, laughing slighty. "I read about your son by internet stories, Our royal guard's kid is gay and single, maybe you would like to meet sometime, up to the prince" The king winked at the royal before the Queen spoke up "Your children seemed very well behaved, your a great king and father if I must say, as for the military, it sounds interesting on how he will actually preform, but knowing you I'd say well. As for your daughter she has lovely style and is very quick". Before the Queen could speak another word, his phone went off and he slowly retreated outside.
"Must be the Prince's nanny, we left him there since he's only a pup, I would have loved to bring him along" Koai said, laughing a bit before going back to serious tone. "Anyway, I also wanted to ask about building an embassy between Sanaatria and Nuak, We recently opened one in Ursaheim and gotten a visa system in place, and having connections to a friend and ally would be nice"

The Prince blushes furiously, "T-that would be nice. I-if you would like a suggestion for an embassy I'd suggest my Countdom of Quarinus. It's wonderful city one which is ancient and has plenty of history. I-I'd love to meet the royal guard's son." The King laughs, "Yes, Quarinus is a beautiful city. However, we can discuss deals and make suggestions but signing the deals is a duty of our foreign minister Adertina Vvjarimatíl," he waves over the Foreign Minister. "Greetings," said the foreign minister. If you have any other ideas for the Embassy you're welcome to suggest, otherwise the Foreign Minister can type up the documents and you can find a suitable building. I'd suggest one in the old quarter which consists of old and tall brick buildings. Quarinus has a warm, Mediterranean climate so please make sure the city's to your liking." The King smiled softly.

The king smiled at Adertina and stretched his paw out to shake her hand. "The area where the Prince suggested would be nice, as for the Guard, he's 19, he should answer very quickly" The king said, laughing with the King of Sanaatrian. "As for you Ma'am, nice to meet you and hope we can strike two great places for our embassies" The King said bowing. "I'll entrust her with finding a building here, as for Nuak, I am both King and Foreign Minster, also a warm climate, I'll need to find an animal that can survive that, but I'm sure we can manage"

The Foreign Minister quickly prints out a document and signs it, "We were expecting this so we created a form," she points to a line at the bottom of the paper "you just need to sign here. Also, please choose a building. Option One or Option Two"

The Prince blushes brightly, "D-do you think we could get the Royal Guard's son here tonight?"

The Prince blushes brightly, "D-do you think we could get the Royal Guard's son here tonight?"

The King grabbed a pen and signed the document and checked the second building. "There we go, also funny thing, Axle is coming over to give us the Nuakian embassy forms for your father, He should be here soon" Koai then put the pen away, smiling and placing the pen back. Slowly the Queen came back with a wolf and panther at tow, the wolf had soft hazelnut eyes, black and white fur and a military looking uniform with the Nuakian Pin. the female panther was pure black, with black eyes, dark suit, and again, the Pin.

The Vulkatan diplomats got in a train.

"Brr why is it so fucking cold?" Thomas said shaking

"Well we weren't informed about the climate but we're diplomats, were supposed to go to another nation and make peace with them spreading Vulkata and bla bla bla" Sasha said and she too was shaking.

"It's a little breezy but i don't mind" said Edwin who even with wearing just a suit and tie wasn't shaking at all "I mean i lived in one of the mountain provinces so it's a breeze for me" he then pulled out his phone and then the theme song of Angry birds was heard but the volume dropped later

Please excuse me but I must see your travel documents, it's the border policy."[/quote]

"Oh yeah yeah of course" The diplomats said and all four of them pulled out a green passport bearing a duck and a shield on both sides.

Though unlike the other normal passports this one had two swords under the duck indicating they were Vulkatan diplomats and Thomas pointed to the swords below.

"Also this swords means we're diplomats in case you haven't figured it out yet" and then he continued to shake while the other 2 diplomats besides Sasha were warm enough even by wearing suits and ties.

"I'm fine even without any hot coco or coffee, the climate is very fine reminds me of my home" Edwin pointed out and then continued to play Angry birds on his cellphone.

[Cati Del Carla]

The High Chancellor of the United Federation arrived with her adviser and a contingent of agents from the Federal Protective Agency or FPA of the Federation.

The High Chancellor was dressed in a red dress with a flag pin of the Federation, she presented her credentials to the guards at the Palace Door before entering the hall and mingling with the patrons.

The Ticket checker stamped the passports before tapping a few buttons in the cabin which revealed high tech computer panels hidden within their train cabin, "we save the old trains for balls and such events as the one you're headed to. But that doesn't mean we don't re-equip these old things." He continues to move along checking tickets and passports with intense speed and efficiency.

The High Chancellor was dressed in a red dress with a flag pin of the Federation, she presented her credentials to the guards at the Palace Door before entering the hall and mingling with the patrons.

The door shut behind the High Chancellor with a huge bang as the metal of the ancient doors came together. The Princess quickly made her way down from the spire to greet the new guests. She makes her was over to the High Chancellor and shakes her hand, "Valokein wah Sanaatria. I hope the weather wasn't too cold, it always is here at this time of year." She hands the Chancellor a box and smiles softly before walking away to stand by her father. The box contains a bottle of 1895 Sundarin Red Wine.

The King grabbed a pen and signed the document and checked the second building. "There we go, also funny thing, Axle is coming over to give us the Nuakian embassy forms for your father, He should be here soon" Koai then put the pen away, smiling and placing the pen back. Slowly the Queen came back with a wolf and panther at tow, the wolf had soft hazelnut eyes, black and white fur and a military looking uniform with the Nuakian Pin. the female panther was pure black, with black eyes, dark suit, and again, the Pin.

The Foreign Minister picks up the document and puts it in a large file, "Thanks for signing the document, I'll be going over to the table with the other ministers now. If you need me don't hesitate to ask." She moves back to a separate table with the various ministers of the Sanaatrian government and takes a seat next to the Prime Minister and opposite the Chancellor.

The Prince moved his way over to the wolf in the military uniform and gets on his knees before kissing his hand. The prince gets back on his feet and sorts out his uniform, "It's lovely to meet you. May I have the pleasure of knowing your name? I'm sure that with eyes as enchanting as yours your name must also have the same effect." The prince locks eyes with the wolf and smiles mischeviously.

[The Selkie]

In a way, it was bit of a normal evening for Fiona Banphrionsa of the Tribe of Cavan.
In a way, it was also far from the normal.
Tonight, she attended a ball in Sanaatria, acting as representative of Gabha Blacksmith's Limited, together with other business representatives and an Ambassador Group. They arrived in the country via the SDY-Yacht Cineal, from there they went to the palace by train. Everything not really normal, but everyday work.
What was not normal was, that she was not the only representative of Gabha Blacksmiths Limited. She was in Sanaatria with her mother, Gwen Banphrionsa of the Tribe of Cavan.
Gabha's CEO.
As such, she was 'only' the escort to her mother, who had been invited. Never minding, that she was actually much more experienced in such matter then her mother, she was still of lower rank and not the one invited originally.
As such, she was one of the two Selkie in attendence not wearing the Geansai, instead preferring the ceremonial tournament garb. There was the long leather shirt in dark blue, sleeveless and going down to the middle of the upper legs, with a thick leather belt around her waist. She wore stockings, the straps of the garter belts reaching down into her high boots. She also wore the half-cuirass of a Marcach, protecting her chest and pronouncing their curve, silver lines doing their purpose for that as well. Together with the long, dark blue gloves, she wore full arm armour, pauldron, rerebrace, couter and vambrace. Her lance was not on her, instead she carried her sword on her right hip.
The other Selkie not in Geansai was Faye Donn of the Tribe of Wexford, the representative of the Merchant Guild of Leuda. The sun-kissed woman from the Oileánra-Archipelago wore her own version of it, fish-leather in natural colours, showing off her figure much like the Geansai of the Mainland-Selkie.
The other Selkie, clad in the better known versions of the Geansai, were Finn Iarann of the Tribe of Cavan and Neil Adhmad of the Tribe of Laois, the Ambassador Group, as well as Gwen Cathlong of the Tribe of Cork, an old friend of Fiona and representative of Silverport Dockyards Limited. She was also Fiona's mother's 'godchild', for the lack of a better term, much like Fiona was Nora's.
Their formation was rather loose, Neil in the center with one Gwen to either side, leading the group, Finn with Faye a bit off the centre - it was her first trip of this kind, after all - and Fiona making up the rear.
The looked forward to the ball, talking with people, dancing and good food - it would be fun, they were sure of it.
As such, they arrived at the outside of the ballroom, where two soldiers kept guard. They weren't the only ones by the sounds of it.
Neil waved with a smile and in greeting, his other hand with the invitation. "Good evening, gentlemen - we are the Selkie-Delegation on this fine evening. May we enter?", he asked with a smile, handing over the invitation and their other documentation.
Normal business as well.

[Troperia]

"We're going to be late!" says a young woman in a leather coat as she pushes through the crowd at the train station. "I knew we should have not stopped at the hotel for a while," she continues.

"Aww. C'mon Aisyah," says a young man nearby. "It's okay. We're not that late,"

Aisyah frowns as he said those words. "This is a ball. A royal ball. You can't be late for a royal ball,Nikola. Think of the consequences,"

Nikola tried to argue back when he felt something lightly tapping his shoulder. He turned around to face the diplomatic intern. "What is it Jessica? We're in the middle of an argument now,".

"Well guys,while you were having that little fight,Wei Hock had already left to find a bus to the palace," says the intern.

Suddenly,Aisyah and Nikola realized that their friend had gone to the nearest bus station...and was already boarding the bus! They all quickly ran towards the bus and hoped that their friend had also bought tickets for them.

[Nuak]

The Foreign Minister picks up the document and puts it in a large file, "Thanks for signing the document, I'll be
going over to the table with the other ministers now. If you need me don't hesitate to ask." She moves back to a separate table with the various ministers of the Sanaatrian government and takes a seat next to the Prime Minister and opposite the Chancellor.

May I have the pleasure of knowing your name? I'm sure that with eyes as enchanting as yours your name must also have the same effect." The prince locks eyes with the wolf and smiles mischeviously.

The king nodded and smiled and the now gone minister, going back to his Queen who sighed. "The kid woke up and wouldn't go to sleep" the Queen said before shaking off his fur of more snow. Meanwhile the panther joined the King and Queen holding a piece of paper, to which the King quickly took and put inside his suit.

The wolf smirked at the kid gesture, bowing to the higher royalty before giving a rose, like the Queen and King before. Slowly dusting some snow off he started to speak "OL MONASCI OI axle OL axe DS LONSA OL MTIF OD OL must NOASMI OIAD Prince correct C LVCIFTIAN OL IPAMIS-" the wolf began to speak before stopping and blushing." I mean My name is Axle or Axe, And you must be the Prince, sorry got stuck speaking my native tongue. Also I wouldn't be talking, your own features and charm are much superior to my own" the wolf spoke again his tone seemingly warm but distant

Foreign Minister Adertina Vvjarimatil waves over the Selkie delegation to the Ministerial table to discuss sales of military equipment.

"We're going to be late!" says a young woman in a leather coat as she pushes through the crowd at the train station. "I knew we should have not stopped at the hotel for a while," she continues.

The Bus conducter was hanging off the side off the bus. He grunted and pushed the Troperians onto the bus after checking their tickets.

The king nodded and smiled and the now gone minister, going back to his Queen who sighed. "The kid woke up and wouldn't go to sleep" the Queen said before shaking off his fur of more snow. Meanwhile the panther joined the King and Queen holding a piece of paper, to which the King quickly took and put inside his suit.

The wolf smirked at the kid gesture, bowing to the higher royalty before giving a rose, like the Queen and King before. Slowly dusting some snow off he started to speak "OL MONASCI OI axle OL axe DS LONSA OL MTIF OD OL must NOASMI OIAD Prince correct C LVCIFTIAN OL IPAMIS-" the wolf began to speak before stopping and blushing." I mean My name is Axle or Axe, And you must be the Prince, sorry got stuck speaking my native tongue. Also I wouldn't be talking, your own features and charm are much superior to my own" the wolf spoke again his tone seemingly warm but distant

The Prince blushed and took Axle's hand and led him across the room, "You have a lovely name, I'm Prince Damatrii but just call me Damatrii. May I have the 1st dance so we can have the pleasure of learning more about each other."

The King showed concern for the Nuakian royal child, "Oh I'm so sorry to hear that. When this lot were young Sanaatria was in a period of civil war and I had to leave them all the time."

The Prince blushed and took Axle's hand and led him across the room, "You have a lovely name, I'm Prince Damatrii but just call me Damatrii. May I have the 1st dance so we can have the pleasure of learning more about each other."

The King showed concern for the Nuakian royal child, "Oh I'm so sorry to hear that. When this lot were young Sanaatria was in a period of civil war and I had to leave them all the time."

The Nuakian Guard walked with the Prince's hand, not minding and with a neutral expression. "Thank you for such a complement Damatrii, your name, is very lovely to say the least" Silently the Guard accepted the dance, nodding once

The Queen frowned and sighed tiredly looking at the King. "It is fine, he's just been having nightmares, as for your kids, they seemed to turned out well, even if they were raised in the war".

The Queen frowned and sighed tiredly looking at the King. "It is fine, he's just been having nightmares, as for your kids, they seemed to turned out well, even if they were raised in the war".

The King's expression hardens, "these two weren't raised in the war... it was my o-other two..." The King shudders.

The Prince begins to dance with the guard, "So, what's it like where you from," the Prince takes the submissive role in the dancing as he allows the guard to take the lead.

Both the King and Queen looked at each other "MTIF OLANI? OLANI never heard OL CACOCASB PASHS!" The Queen shouted before the King shrugged nervously. The King then faced the counterpart "You have another group of children?"

Slowly the guard laughed "The Howlia is a peaceful and calm place, so many parks and clear skies, Animals freely roam around both anthro and feral, and it is relaxing to all of us" the guard said, a little smile showed up on the muzzle. "How is your life here?" the guard noticed the change, and began to lead more

[The Selkie]

Foreign Minister Adertina Vvjarimatil waves over the Selkie delegation to the Ministerial table to discuss sales of military equipment.

[...]

The older of the two Gwens grinned and led the delegation softly over to the table of Foreign Minister Vvjarimatil.
She nodded towards certain parts of her delegation: Neil and the younger Gwen broke off towards the buffet, when needed, Cathlong would be waved over, while Faye and Finn went towards the dance floor, leaving the two members of the Banphrionsa Family alone with the Foreign Minister.
The older of the two grinned as they arrived at the table.
"Mistress Vvjarimatil, it is a great pleasure to see you again!", the older of the two said with a huge grin, "How are you on this fine evening?"
Both knew, what was on the line.
Fiona gave a small smile, as she positioned herself at her mother's right flank.

"Welcome to Sanaatria Gwen! You and your mother look very pretty tonight. Although, you don't seem very well dressed for this weather. Also, I'm great. How are you two?" The Foreign Minister called over a waiter and ordered a platter of food and drinks for the table.

Both the King and Queen looked at each other "MTIF OLANI? OLANI never heard OL CACOCASB PASHS!" The Queen shouted before the King shrugged nervously. The King then faced the counterpart "You have another group of children?"

"Yes... I have two older ones and I'd rather not talk about them. I-if that's okay." A singular tear drips all the way down the king's face and hits the stone floor.

The Prince followed Axle's lead, "Oh it sounds lovely. Where I'm from is nothing like here. I was born and raised in the Mediterranean style climate of the south. Your hands are so soft and smooth." The Prince strokes Axel's hand.

[Saxony-Brandenburg]

He, Rudolf I steps out of the dark wooden carriage he had taken to the event. Having not gotten out to travel that often, his lower back already is starting to hurt him, as the ride was rougher than he remembers most. Three guards, all dressed in military uniforms of white wool jackets that go down to mid-thigh, with polished copper buttons featuring a double headed eagle, black wool pants, polished brown leather boots, and dark blue military parade hats of the same style as a US marine parade hat. The King, wearing the same shirt, pants, and boots, but no hat on his graying black hair. He wears a black and yellow striped sash with a golden double -headed eagle pinned upon his shoulder, along with many medals upon his chest. One guard fetches his cane for him before handing papers to the guard at the gate, while the other two shoulder short rifles with bayonets at the end, and standing to his side, march to his slower pace up towards the gate.

Dogsled slowly hugged you sighing. "I'm so sorry for bringing that up right now" stopping the hug, he tried to smile as the King came back with some whiskey and 2 glasses of wine. "Hey, why not have some wine to take your mind of it?"

The Guard fulling allowed a grin rubbing the Prince's hands. "We animals prefer paws but, for you-" Axle began to say before dipping him and getting his face close "I wouldn't mind making an exemption you know, but you look fantastic, Your hair is well kept, your face is very pretty, your personality is very sweet, and well, I would be here all night spouting complements if I could, but right now I don't mind just dancing"
