It's been a year since their children have been reunited and they've successfully ruled the realm for two years again. Sienna looked at her daughter sitting in the corner of Daivik's office and Lucian sitting in the opposite corner. They were both glued to their hologram phones on their wrists.

She sighed, Reyna has settled in at the academy, she's become very close with her friends, Kyrell and Elowen. But her rivalry with Lucian was still going strong. Reyna wouldn't talk to her about it and she seemed not to care about his arrogant and pompous attitude towards her. However, she and Daivik were determined to keep pushing them together.

They forced them to spend their summer together, they deemed it a diplomatic induction since they have both been accepted into the Advanced Diplomacy programme.

She and Daivik took them on various council and regional meetings throughout the realm and their two stubborn children still barely spoke to each other, besides the occasional hello.

It unnerved them that they were so at odds with each other. It's uncommon for a VonUmbra and a DiEdaan not to get along. Especially since the two used to be joined at the hip when they were young.

"We have to do something about this, how can we expect them to lead together if they won't even talk to each other?" Daivik sighed, shaking his head.

"This can't last forever, they're young." Sienna smiled, patting his hand but he wasn't convinced.

"They're not that young, we were hosting some of our own council meetings at eighteen, that's only two years away and we never acted like them."

"We also didn't go through war or genocide at eight years old. Don't forget they were separated for seven years. Give it time, they'll come around." She smiled and he sighed nodding his head.

"You're right."

So Daivik and Sienna thought it was only fitting that, as a show of peace and solidarity, the VonUmbras would host Reyna's right of passage ceremony on their lands in the demon forests.
