Maeve stood in her throne room, lips pursed, deep in thought. The war with Kells was NOT going well. Even with the help of Mider, she was still losing! She flounced down in her throne, scowling. Curse those Mystic Knights. She would have taken over by now if it wasn't for them.
Suddenly, the soft, airy voice of Mider filled the chamber. "Something wrong, Maeve?"
She turned to wear his chalice sat. "Of course something's wrong! Kells should be mine right now. Instead, here I sit, trying to figure out yet another plan to win Kells. Its mine! I should have it."
Mider studied the flustered queen. He had a plan. He had been thinking about if for quite awhile now, but had wanted to keep it secret until he was sure there was no other choice. It was a very risky plan, one that would take a lot of magic. Oh, he could do it of course. He was Mider, after all. But.. He sighed. Desperate times called for extreme measures.
"Maeve? I believe I have a plan…" Maeve looked at him.
"Really? Well. Are you going to tell it to me, or are we just going to sit here till I figure it out?"
Mider stiffled a laugh. "Patience, my queen. This plan..it will take a lot of work."
Maeve stood. "Right now, Mider, I don't care how much work it takes. I want Kells!"
Mider clapped his hands together. "Perfect. Now, Maeve. A question."
Maeve looked at him increduoulsy. " A question!"
He nodded. "Yes. You see, we keep looking at the past in our fight…your father's war with Kells, past fights we have had with the knights. Have you ever thought about looking towards..the future?"
Maeve raised an eyebrow. "Meaning?…"
Mider grinned, a truly evil grin. "Meaning, Maeve. Why don't we bring someone from the futer..to help win your battle with Kells."
Maeve slowly grinned. "Why Mider. A truly ingenious plan. But the question is…who?"
Mider grinned. "Well. A descendent, probably. Of say, King Conchobar?"
Maeve laughed. "Using one of his own descendants against him? Wonderful! But the question is, can you do it?"
Mider bowed. "Of course. It will take a bit of time, but. By tonight, they will be here, and we can work on our plan to conquer Kells!"
Maeve and Mider laughed together, and the sound filled the palace of Temra.
