Things seem to be rather ok the world over at this point. Every country is rather happy with their current state and no wars are going on. Most have forgotten the skirmishes of the past and are honoring the many peace treaties. But this isn't to say that there isn't tension.

People are kind to but still wary of Foncé. The country's darkness and unusual ways scare most people; they still fear Foncé and the fact that they still seem to be in conquest mode. No one likes a sleeping giant, and that is what Foncé has become to most. Lumineux has no fears, but the tensions are there as well but only to the insider's eye. To the public, relations between Foncé and Lumineux are golden; but to the people inside, tensions are rising too quickly. The Lumineuxin princess does not look forward to her marriage to the Foncéan prince. This has made Lumineux's queen rather upset lately and it shows. All the inhabitants of both castles are waiting for a war or disagreement between the two countries, whether it be because of the marriage or just because of their differences. However, the Queens both have their own plans to patch things up.

Meanwhile, Soleil sits quietly aside, still not entirely sure of their place in this fight. The Soleilian queen is having trouble enough running the country by herself. She fears both countries, really; she and her country are an easy target just waiting to be conquered. But they won't go down without a fight. The Soleilian Militia is recruiting new, highly skilled members rather quickly.

Everyone seems to be preparing for battle, every military organization growing by the day. Is a war really just around the corner, or is everyone just "running scared?" Only time will tell.
