entirely blue eyes through the seeing glasses on his face along with items in the back of the seat in front of him and pulled it out. He saw the cover which had Tamyara in a pose facing the camera wearing her leotard, tight clothing molded to the body for her to do her acrobats in gymnastics. He recognized that she was posing on an apparatus event called the balance beam with her face seen facing the camera with a concentration look.
There was the headline which Triton read to himself in a language unsure of the name “National Hero, Tamyara Chennikova in her third Games!”
Tamyara Chennikova was declared a national hero for winning gold medals in major competitions involving gymnastics related sporting events for the nation of Lancelot Nation.
This gold medal status attracted the eyes of the High Council who tried to get her into servitude but she refused repeatedly by claiming “This is against my beliefs.”
High Council managed to rope Emperor Pavel Palin to give Tamyara a water bottle with poison in it to make her pay for her refusal and believing into the annoyance god Lance Richard. Hence Tamyara’s crashing onto the floor exercise after poison took effect.
Triton wound up recalling he thinking of the title of national hero and opened the magazine and skimmed the contents barely reading the words.
The language was not readable for him to read via admittance despite the High Council saying “The language is Human influenced to believe in left to right reading instead of up and down starting at the right side and going down like we believe.”
Triton wound up stared at the pictures of Tamyara displayed in the magazine frowning despite unable to understand the wording of the language’s uses in it. Exhaling air he leaned his head back and fell asleep as observed by spies of the High Council.
The airplane landed in Lancelot Nation’s city of National City. Triton came through a narrow hallway following an unconscious Tamyara on a stretcher pushed by a medic. They reached the end of the hallway to see white lights of flashbulbs from cameras and voices talking a mile a minute at the end. At the end was another large hallway where a crowd of people stood held back by the city’s police in their tan uniforms. Triton was seen flinched from the white lights glaring into his eyesight. His eyes appeared to be focused only on Tamyara. The police both Humans and Highlanders escorted them through the crowds of people through the large hallway of the airport terminal. The group reached outside to see a waiting vehicle with lights and sirens blasting. The vehicle took them to the hospital. Once reaching the hospital Tamyara was taken away leaving Triton to sit in a chair in the hallway via recorders. Recorders show Triton sat in a chair sitting with a frown look on his face outside the hallway doors that led another part of the hospital where it was assumed was Tamyara being operated on. He sat still wearing his royal Oceanan clothes which were earth colored pants, a stormy ocean colored jacket with the Oceanan seal of a trident on the left side with a cloud colored shirt underneath. The doctor came out in scrubs to stand at his side ignored by Triton who seemed to be lost in thought heard a throat clearing like sound and looked at the doctor standing at his side.
The doctor spoke in Basic, the international language “Americanian yes? Basic’s bad.”
Basic bad for Lancelot Nation natives was on purpose to make them servitude to the High Council in learning Basic as in taught in school. The national language of Lancelot Nation is called Americanian despite there rumors of a nation called Americania before Edenia left orbit. High Council is still trying to find out about this subject.
Triton was heard replied in Americanian “Americanian yes I speak it and is fluent.”
The doctor spoke “I’m Doctor Leif Jensen. Tamyara has a problem with her back which went undetected till now. The surgery was to help restore function but not successful with her legs and feet.”
The doctor paused as Triton stared at him with a confused expression and continued talking “I’m sorry but Tamyara has lost her walking ability and is now wheelchair bound.”
Triton appeared to don’t realize that Tamyara was poisoned appeared to put a hand on his face moaning out as the doctor stared at him “First Palin, now this?”
Jensen spoke “I’m sorry about this but Tamyara will be told once she’s awake from the surgery.”
Triton stood up and began to pace walking back and forth like he was upset as the doctor stared at him with a nervous look.
He asked Jensen “Can I see her?”
Jensen replied “Once we have her in a room. A nurse will arrive to take you there. I’m needed elsewhere.”
The doctor left Pave and entered a set of doors with nervousness seen from the male. Recorders caught the doctor appearing to make a hand gesture onto the chest twin to the gesture that Lancelot Nation natives used when saluting their flag in gold medal ceremonies of the flag raised with music.
Triton was observed kept his pacing stood in front of the chair and gave it a kick with his foot. He grabbed the chair in anger and threw it across the hallway which bounced off the wall with a banging sound.
Triton yelled in Americanian “To the depths!”
He kept pacing while looking at the double doors to the hallway with anger on his face. Triton didn’t know how long he was pacing when the doors to the hallway opened as a nurse as assumed was the female wearing a blue shapeless dress twin to the Lance Richard’s believers came out with a frown look on her face. She was seen grimacing seeing Triton glare at her as seen via recorders above.
She spoke in Americanian “You’re Pavel Palin?”
Triton stood and glared at her and curtly replied in the same language “I’m Pavel Palin referred as Pave.”
The nurse spoke “Follow me.”
He followed the nurse while glaring at her back towards an elevator which took them up several floors and they reached a large hallway room surrounded by doors. Triton heard screaming coming from one of the doors and recognized the voice by his behavior indicating it.
He ran towards one of the doors where the screaming was from to see Tamyara wearing a hospital gown while sitting up on the bed with her face in a grimace shaking her head and screaming out “No, no, no!”
The doctor, Jensen was there trying to calm her down with his hands on her arms as she shook by calmly speaking “I’m sorry, Tamyara.”
Tamyara’s response was to scream out “You’re sorry?! You’re not sorry!”
Triton ran in the room to stand at her side at the bed with pleading onto his face seen by witnesses in the room including recorders.
Tamyara seeing him grabbed his jacket pulling him closer to her and yelled in his face “It’s your entire fault Pave!”
Triton’s reaction was only stared at her with speechless shock as the doctor grabbed his arm and pulled him out of the room.
The nurse closed the door behind them as Jensen spoke “It’s not your fault, Pave. She’s having a reaction to her medical condition which is normal.”
Triton’s reaction was he groaned and went to the chair next to the door and hyper vented air breathing hard. He sat in the chair leaning forwards with his head between his knees, his breaths becoming gasps as he choked trying to breathe air.
The doctor yelled “An aqua tank now!”
Triton sat in the chair as he sensed darkness coming clouding his eyes sight and yanked his glasses off for them to settle on his chest attached to a chain. He felt something put over the lower half of his face, wrapped around his head and waved his arms resisting to that as liquid arrived through the mask.
Triton heard a voice speak compelling him “Breathe Pave, breathe!”
The voice sounded like a compeller’s voice tone ordering Triton to breathe the liquid in the aqua tank but it sounded male terms. It was noted that the recorders recording the scene went black followed by picking up the compeller’s voice tone ordering Triton to breathe then the cameras resumed function showing only Doctor Jensen there with the familiar female nurse accompanied him. It’s suspected that t
he nurse is a compeller despite it unsure if Monarchs have compelling abilities. Only Humans some purebred can compel people to do things via voice orders.
Triton was observed appearing via recorders to obey the compeller’s order breathing the liquid through his nose and mouth together at the same time. With a groan Triton’s fainting feeling as if sensed the darkness clouding his eyes sight fade.
Triton was staring clearly at Jensen who was staring back at him with a glaring expression that he said later “Reminded me of confess your crime. Ugh.”
Triton wound up breathe looking at Jensen who spoke “You were having an oxygen attack, occasionally happens to your species, normally hits when under extreme stress.”
Triton nodded his head getting the message and concentrated on breathing the liquid.
Triton recalled later told of Tamyara’s reaction of herself alone in bed after she gave up her denials involving loss of walking ability.
Triton was told by the High Council’s minions Recorder “Tamyara was sat on the one person bed with anger sensed from her. She appeared to form a frown with a lost in thought expression on her face seen via recorders. Tamyara appeared to acknowledge she heard the door to the small room open.
Tamyara was seen looking to see Pave wearing some mask attached to his lower face came in the room with the doctor Jensen who was speaking ‘Here, sit on the
