Section 6 Infrastructure and Erbiums Eliminating Wars
The Mending of the Universe
The universe mending was a three part project. First the damage was stopped. Aaron Olivia and Kyle stopped the Void damage from continuing. Second, the fallen away materials around Radon would need to be repaired. (This took some time. The planet Radon had to have the part eaten away refurbished. The planet orbited on its axis, then around its sun, then around the galaxy. As the planet proceeds on its axis. Aaron and Olivia patched up Radon planet.The planet Radon was part of the bramble fence at first. It would need to be separated.
This second part included separating Radon from the bramble fence. (Bramble fence was the debris that spread out after a planet was attacked by the Void. The debris field was being pushed in front of the black hole. The bramble fence was created from the debris. Aaron, Olivia, and Kyle worked with the debris field, separating it from the planet Radon. Then Aaron and Olivia pulled the living parts of the bramble fence and entwined it with the wisteria plant.
Afterwards, the two used their creation powers to encourage the wisteria to join and send its twigs of flowering blooms further and further out into the surrounding area. The long line of vegetation formed the barrier. This barrier caused the Void to stop. Kyle made sure the Void chased its tail instead of devouring the bramble fence. Before the Void could figure out what happened, Kyle had the semi aware energy mass Void kept from destroying all that was protecting the East Verse and beyond. The bramble fence grew and grew until it was way past the Void’s region of attack.
Slowly during the next two years Aaron, and Olivia when not helping to contain the Void, would help the construction team of Entrench, Equate, Equanimity and his son Effuse. These men welcomed Ian Xanthos to fix this problem of Radon being a planet that orbited a star. Entrench’s group did the construction of moving the planet away from the Void, and bringing materials, (dirt and debris.)
The planet needed to revolve on its axis around its sun. (Arden Psychic, king of the North Quadrant 55 was called. He an old ancient moved the sun to the opposite side of the planet, so the orbit of Radon would not interfere with the bramble fence, that Olivia and Aaron were using to continue to thwart the Void’s movement into the East verse. Arden helped the North Quadrant 54 but tried to stay out of the problems here. He was allowing the family of Atherton Gypsum to acquire power, for the final assault on the Void in two generations.
Aaron and Olivia began the repairs with the enhanced wisteria first. Piles of dirt from other planets were brought to reconstruct the Radon planets earth. When this part was finished, Kyle began to configured a puzzle for the Void to try to solve. Then Livy, Avery, and any other daughter of Sydney’s who was able to open flowers would use their ability. All of Sydney’s girls could open flowers and make them grow but not as fast as Olivia. The group of sisters, and their female children, begin to help Livy temporarily encourage the wisteria flowers to mend the bramble fence. The bramble fence grew on both sides at the ends, with their help. This kept the Void from entering the North Quadrant 54, and to reach beyond halting the Void.
Kyle and Ian made an energy infrastructure and fused it with the energy and materials their ships and the groups of peoples with powers combined. The mend would hold for now. The Void’s contact with Radon’s planet had caused a ripple in the North quadrant 54, and was felt in the North quadrant 55 and beyond also. The planets shook for a few moments, then all returned to normal. This flurry of activity would cease about the time of the weddings, but much still had to be done. Aaron and Olivia, along with Kyle, would be on Radon for years to come with a few months of exceptions, throughout the next twenty years.
The mending would hold. However for years off and on, the group would bring more materials and plans for mending after the funeral. Most of the family had met at Thorne’s summer resort right at the time of the Wave. After Millie and Avery, Aaron’s and Olivia’s daughter had married, Aaron had gone to the planet Radon with Livy to stay. They and the construction group under Entrench, held off the rest of the Universe crumbling for now. This bramble fence would hold the Void off for two generations, then the second prophecy would be in play. (The powers of the North Quadrant 54 would grow, until they would help the North Quadrant 55 correct the Void problem by way of fulfilling the second prophecy.)
The Elusives found materials and brought all on the ship with Thorne a few months later. They would do this countless times after this first trip. Mending the East verse needed lots of work. The first trip was when Lydwina was kidnapped and Thorne was to go on the large ancients ship to Initron, the Nitron planet moon. There he was killed, on initron moon, Nitron planet’s moon. All assembled for the funeral several weeks later. Not everyone was known, yet, that would marry this year, either. The funeral was at the same time, as the meetings of Theydon and Wyatt and their introduction of the two Erbium women, one, Erudite‘s daughter and one, Erratic’s daughter.

Thorne’s Funeral
The groups from all verses went to Astarte for the funeral. The weddings would be announced at the funeral, after the ceremony. The group would get more supplies and work for years on the mending but the progressive deterioration was halted. All now progressed in the room, of the death chamber or the building called the Chamber of Rebirth. Emera talked with Aaron. Aaron was in a parlor. People would come in and talk with him, then leave.
“Aaron, could we meet after the ceremony. I think, I am engaged to Erudite,” said Emera. “If so,…” (Emera wanted to announce a wedding between herself and Erudite)
“Aaron, she and I are engaged. We are thinking of marriage at the next opportunity,” said Erudite. She smiled. After an hour death ceremony, Emera looked at her deceased husband Thorne. She cried. They sealed the glass coffin. Aaron met Erudite outside. Erudite talked with Aaron.
“Your majesty, as you know, I have always been crazy about Emera,” said Erudite. “I will tell you the short version as you will understand how this engagement quickly came about. You know from your wife that a not full Nyponsian women, needs to be warmed after she, or I guess there are some he’s, too, lose something, when they cure someone. Anyway, she cured my depression without thinking about needed warming. I was not too nice, about her jumping into my bed,” said Erudite. “You know, it has been a year and some, since Trina died and losing Thorne, my big brother was just too much. I warmed her and kept my emotional distance for as long, as I could. I’ve been crazy about her forever. I was okay, as long as, Trina was alive.” Emera had walked over to Millie, while Erudite talked with Aaron. “Anyway, I can’t tell you, how happy I am, that she isn’t angry with me. I have wanted her forever.”
“I am happy, you are happy. I’m just so sad about dad,” said Aaron.
“I was and am too,” said Erudite. “Please don’t have Emera cure you. I’m this close to having her, before the few months are up, and if she cures you, I will need more time curing her.” Aaron laughed.
“Okay,” said Aaron. “I’ll get Livy to cure my mood. He started to laugh again. You have made me laugh Erudite, I have been thinking of doing something for a while, I will have another message, after the funeral lunch and reception.”

Aaron’s Past Relationship with Erudite
Aaron had always liked Erudite. Erudite had always like kids, so when Aaron was young, and Erudite would come to see Thorne, Aaron would be running around in the throne room. Erudite would grab him put him on his lap and talk with him, while, he waited for Thorne to get ready and go somewhere with Erudite and Erratic. Erudite started a relationship with Aaron when Aaron was very young. Aaron was wondering how Erudite could have angered, Thorne so much, when Livy told him. Livy found out from Echo, the way Erudite was acting was a bad meld. Aaron did not tell his father. He did go to the prison and had Tegan, Erudite’s guard bring Erudite some things he wanted. When he arrived at the prison, he sat and waited for Erudite. in the past, Erudite’s punishment was basically to keep Emera safe from Erudite. Erudite needed an es**rt (Tegan) when he came to Obsidian, before Thorne’s death. Actually Tegan was assigned by Thorne to watch Erudite.
“You okay, Lord Erudite?” Asked Aaron.
“Yes, you, Aaron?” Asked Erudite.
“Yes, Erudite, I learned from my wife most of this desire for Queen Emera was because of a weird meld. She found out from Thoth and Emera’s mother Echo. I can’t change my father’s verdict, but I don’t have the anger at the things done to Emera. I remember, the times you, quieted me, when I would sit on your lap and you played games with me other times. I can’t see, that you are a bad person. You are punished enough, I’m sure. Anyway, I know the melds of peoples of powers is routed in our past from something, Thoth said,” thought Aaron. to Erudite. Aaron told Erudite his thoughts at the time of his punishment.
“If you did not have someone of powers in your past or were particularly exposed to Glooms in your past, you would not have been so viscous to Emera, Thoth had said,” said Aaron.
“I have known you for a long time and I do not see, why I should not trust you, in most things, not related to the queen. I have also been reassured, you are not more Gloom, than any any, other citizen of Erbium. Anyway, I’m getting verbose. Is there something you would like for me to get you?” Asked Aaron. Now current times Erudite wanted easier access to the news.
“Yes, Aaron, when your dad had me incarcerated,“I (Erudite) said, “I was looking at the message boards. Tegan would take me to the space station every morning. I still want some contact with the world around me.” Now today, Aaron talked some more with Erudite.
“Okay, That is something I can get for you,” said Aaron. “Tegan, get the message board slips for Erudite every day, and charge it to me.” I remember, I told Tegan, “Don’t particularly let my dad know, about my helping Erudite.” Tegan thanked Aaron. He realized Erudite was demoralized and Aaron was helping. “You can get today’s messages now too. I always knew, how much you helped the East Verse, watching for embezzlers. I was glad, when dad realized your helping him.” Until now, Erudite had to go to the space port for the message boards. Message boards could be installed in a person’s home but it was so expensive, few people, besides those who were royals, ever spent the money on one. Aaron, now that his dad was deceased, he had a message board installed in Erudite’s two houses. They would be one, on Prehnite and the other one, on Tourmaline Moon. Erudite would be at Thorne’s palace. His children would benefit from the message boards at his home. There was a message board at the palace. Erudite had used it when he would visit Thorne, and did so now as he lived there.
The Tourmaline moon home message board would be good for when Ebecca and Thay would be in residence on Tourmaline moon. They were also good for Claude and Elina also. Claude needed to know, what was going on in the realm. He was a judge at Tourmaline moon. He now that Emera was going to have Erudite live at Thorne’s castle, Erudite would not need his home. Erudite would give Claude his home to Elina and Claude for their home. Claude judge of the moon, and its homes and businesses would use the board for work. Thay could make sure, he or a Gallium were not needed somewhere, the message board would tell them about. Since, the girls and their husbands visited Elina’s home, this was rather resourceful for both men, Claude and Thay.
“Thank you your majesty,” said Erudite.
“Oh! Lord Erudite, I also remember saying, I can’t help you, as much as, I wish I could, but when I become king, if you are still incarcerated, I will allow you to go back to Erbium and come to Obsidian. A weird meld is something, a person can’t help. Anyway, I know your worth, so if you need anything, have Tegan write me, and I will provide,” said Aaron. Aaron at the time, knew, he could not get Erudite another woman. He would tell Tegan, who knew, he was probably in need of one, that he couldn’t get a woman for Erudite. Now Aaron, allowed Erudite on Obsidian and to live at his father’s castle, with Emera.
Thorne, Aaron’s father’s standing order was, no woman for Erudite, because the vicious nature of the attack, Erudite had practiced on Emera. Aaron knew Erudite was fond of a few amenities. He anonymously had them sent every month, of Erudite’s incarceration, but not a woman. He also didn’t tell Livy, as she was on Emera’s side about Erudite. Now, Erudite had his own children by Katrina. He was virtually free. He couldn’t go to Obsidian, unless es**rted, because of Emera but Erudite had a place on Tourmaline moon. Aaron would once in a while, when home from Radon, would come and visit Erudite or have him and Emera to his castle.

Aaron Declares a Surprised Kingship for Erudite (See pg 87-89 Book 7 Tying up Loose Ends.)
“We respect, your candid assessment of the situation, lord Erudite,” said Aaron. Aaron moved to the reception room where Thorne was lying in state. “Now, I have an announcement of my own. The verse has grown under dad’s reign. Now, as your king/Emperor, I am still responsible, not only of our part of the Universe, but the mending of the entire NEWS or Directional Universe of our quadrant.”
“I have been away,” said Aaron. “Erudite has taken care of our affairs for many years. I am going to do something, that should have been done, a while back, but was not thought, of at the time. I wish, all Erbiums brothers and Eurika here to stand. Come here, Erudite. Erudite came up to Aaron. Entrust and Entropy are no longer, with us. So, Erudite for Entrust, Err for the Entropy, also deceased, Etchings, Eurika, and Eradicator for Enroute,” (Enroute was ill and at home.) “These men and Eurika are to be honored.” (Aaron had each of the oldest of the families of the children of Elusive stand.)
“Please kneel Erudite, when I point to you,” said Aaron. “One knee only.” Erudite gave a puzzled look, but stood next to Aaron, until he was to kneel. The introduction took, a few moments.
“As my first official duty, I declare, the lord Elusive, well, really, his father Einion, the first to help my family, will be the first, king of Erbium. The Elusive, Erbiums have helped me, as I said. I am going back this far, as the older sons of Elusive, that are still alive, will be princes, and Eurika will be a princess. Their children can say, their father, was a prince of Erbium, and they are now princes or princesses, according to their lineage. Grandchildren can say the same, of their grandfather and themselves,” said Aaron. (Erudite had Draing given a ring also, soon after. As Draing was illegitimate, Erudite was to be king. Aaron gave him a ring as a man of Erudite’s age group, even though Draing was closer in the family, position to Entrust, Entropy, Etchings, Eurika, and Enroute.)
“This will make Erudite, the king of Erbium, and Erratic, his brother, the prince or heir, if something should happen to Erudite and Elocution, of his children. The same is true of the sisters, husbands, who will now be Princess, Eurika’s, princesses, husband Entrench, Enthrall, her husband Extraneous will be called prince, although, both are married to the royal. Erbium has become a middle planet, similar to Cruwellers or Klytamnestra, where most of the spouses of our peoples, have come from, to marry our Erbiums in, our East verse,” said Aaron.
“I feel, as though, the Erbiums are as regal, as myself, but will have Blake, still be the last say in Obsidian and East Verse policies, while I’m gone. Erudite is now in charge of his planet, and their political agenda. Congratulations Erudite,” said King Aaron. “You will still help me, with taking care of our policing, of our verse, and we will have many appointments, of your people, as heads of the parts of the government, needed to run the East verse.” Erudite would lean on Elocution, strongly for this duty to the realm.
“You may kneel now, and afterwards sign the papers, that will be put in the Hall of Records. I want, the rest of the Elusive princes, that would be Entrust’s brothers, and princess Eurika, to sign, also,” said Aaron. Erudite knelt, and Karsden handed Aaron, the king’s sword. If the brothers of the sons of Elusive, as with Entrust and Entropy are deceased, the oldest son is to be the prince, that is in charge of his family. That would be Erudite’s line. Elocution will be king, after Erudite, Err is head of Entropy’s family.
“I king Aaron, Emperor of the East Universe, as my first official duty, declare Einion the first king of Erbium, posthumously, Elusive the second to be king of Erbium, posthumously and his son Entrust, to follow posthumously, and now, Erudite Elusive to be the next, and fourth king of Erbium. Well, done, Erudite the keeper of the crown of Obsidians interests,” said king Aaron. Everyone was saying awe and afterwards, everyone clapped. Aaron knighted each of the brothers and called them, princes of Erbium. Acknowledgement of Eurika was done now too.
“Enjoy the meal, my brothers and family. You may all be seated,” said Aaron. He gave each a paper, stating the person was a prince, and his name, and princess Eurika, was acknowledged also. “Entrench will be prince, and Extraneous, husband of Enthrall will also be a prince. Aaron was specific saying, anyone married to a princess of Erbium was declared a prince. All the legitimate children were considered princes and princesses, also. Erudite had twins, Eiffel and Edwina, they were not with him but with their mother. They were not recognized, as princesses or princes currently, but would be, when they were acknowledged, by Erudite. Also, Eydler, great grandson of Entropy, through Equivocate and his son, Erksome was not known, either, at this time. Later, Erudite would have Elyder declared a prince, as he was to marry, a princess of Starlynn.
“I don’t know, what to say your majesty,” said Erudite. “Thank you.”
“Nothing to say, that has not been said, just now,” said Aaron. “Erudite did not know, I was going to do this. Actually, no one except perhaps, Thoth our ancient here, who can look forwards and backwards in time. Now to you congratulating him and me, getting some of those, tasty Earth hamburgers for a snack,” said Aaron. Members of the Elusive family came bye to honor, Erudite. Eurika was excited, at being, a princess. Erudite smiled at her. She smiled back.

Erbium Royals Rings
“Your family will have the Elusive crest on a ring. Your father and any of your descendants will have the section on the ring. This is where their place in the family will be acknowledged until their death, then the rings are passed to the next, in line in the family. Those of the rest of your family will have the Elusive crest, as well as, a small icon number for their family from now on. You will have the ring, as your seal for important documents,” said Aaron.
“Your family’s, if the older Elusive brother is gone, of Entrust, Entropy, and Enroute, the oldest child and their, family will decide, what they will have on their icon, but I suggest the oldest go and talk with the elders of their family at Astarte. I suggest, you also, decide among yourselves, what you desire. That means talking it over with brothers, sisters, and children,” said Aaron.
“The family of Thorne, will have their crest also. Emera, Avery, Millie, and Lydwina will have the Obsidian crest, as their ring crests on their rings. They may be put on the Bromine crest, if his majesty, Archshire approved of Millicent’s rings, as part of his ring. We will remember, the ring with the number one, is the kings, the princes, and princesses will have small icons of their own design with other numbers, that show their link to the king. The rest of the royals will have their crest icons, for their families rings but still, the planet or family crest will be on all rings. It should be noted, the influence, of the planet, will be larger according to the persons, part of the royal family or planet family. Also, In other words, a king of another planet, marries a princess of the royal family will have rules also,” said Aaron.

Which Royal Takes Precedence Here
Sometimes, the Empress or queen of a verse is first, then the king of his planet (if he is not the royal.) Another scenario, the queen allows, a child of hers to become emperor, when he is old enough. There is also the scenario, the male is always, the first of the planet’s, if the wife is lesser, the same unless, the more important wife wants her husband to be the first. Lydwina comes to mind,” said Aaron. “She has a higher rank than her husband Errant.” (The rest of the story is on page 88-89 of book 7, of the Tales, Tying up Loose Ends. (Euphoria suggests Erudite go see the deceased Erbium leaders of the family and now the posthumous kings of Erbium, his ancestors to talk over what is best to have on the rings of the new king and royals.

The Beginning of the Glass Clues about Verse History
After Thorne's viewing, the group went back to where Thorne’s body was, before interment. Soon the casket would be put in the vault. The vault was an interesting arrangement. The casket was put in a window elevator and lowered into the ground. There were four of them in the Chamber of Rebirth. (The casket could be called for, if a family member wanted to see their ancestors and some people did bring the caskets up to look at their death like, sleeping relatives.) Deirdre Cruwellers, the queen of the middle planet Cruwellers, had her dad Harlan, (Xanthos) (her mom was the queen) bought up at the same time, as Devlin Starlynn had his dad, Damon brought up. Both were sad. Devlin had been there for a few, when he saw Deirdre. Devlin had studied to be a doctor. He noticed Deirdre and “the paler of someone who was taking, could he be right, poison?” He thought, questioned himself.
The Starlynns discovered the Nystarians making glass. They came invisible watched and proceeded to make their own glass. This happened around the time of Staeglonyp. The Starlynns took the glass small boxes from Nystar also. The glue the Nystarians used made the boxes air tight. The contents would not be able to deteriorate. The Starlynns copied what they learned from the Nystarians. They wrote this fact of their discovery in their history.
Then the Starlynns made the boxes larger and put their deceased in the Chamber of Rebirth, at Sapphire planet in the Ishtar building areas. It was well known, the boxes came from Nystar and that the Nystarians made the glue, to keep the boxes air tight. Since it was Staeglonyp, the boxes found their way to the Bohrmine verse and to Aquilla’s spiritual access to the drift. The Chamber of Rebirth was in the Bohrmine verse at Calcite planet, where Aquilla resided. The Bohrmine’s had their own version of the Chamber of Rebirth. Now, the East verse followed through with their own Chamber of Rebirth, also.

Devlin and Deirdre’s Story
“I miss you dad, Damon,” thought Devlin. Mrs. Cruwellers-Xanthos, came in at that moment. She smiled at him and went to the elevator across from him. She called for her relative, her father Harlan. He had been so wonderful. His second cousin, Reginald was her husband. Reginald and Harlan were so close in life but Reginald did not want to see him at the Chamber of Rebirth. Something was bothering Reginald. He would become estranged from his Xanthosian family and his Cruwellers families in a few years. Ileana, queen of Xanthos would think, it all Deirdre’s fault. But this was in the infant stage of unreasonable ideas of the Xanthosians. So Deirdre went alone. Devlin was a shapeshifter. His nature much to the Starlynn royals of which, he was too close to ignore, was to quell his curiosity. (All shapeshifters not full blooded, were problems to a family. They did not know, how to automatically quell their curiosity. They easily got into trouble.)
He looked back into the day and night before. He saw a man (Reginald) put something in the pretty woman’s tea. Reginald did not tell her, he had put something in her tea. “Devlin thought, about that tea after his visit, and she left, he would follow her.” He was a doctor and had taken off a month to be able to work, without so much angst, at Damon’s death. (Although not his real father, Damon loved his wife and her son Devlin, Devlin was his, as much as, that evil Devel,” Damon and Devlin both thought. Devlin was going to be with his family, but his mom was unconsolable. She cried all the time. Clifton, his brother told him, he and Gareth would console mom, about dad’s death. Idris was not the strong type. Although she was given a forgetting spell, she thought, “There was something was very strange, about her son Devlin and she could not understand, why she did not like him.”
Mom loved all her children but she for some reason did not really like, Devlin. She gave him all the hugging, and support, he needed but she did not feel the same, as she felt about her other two children. Devlin’s father Devel was an evil Gloom. Even though, Idris had been given a forgetting spell, she knew of the evil, that was Devlin’s. She recognized it and chided herself for not liking Devlin. He was a handsome child. He just was not making her happy. She had Damon and her other two sons, and until Damon told Devlin, he was the son of Devel, an evil Gloom, Devlin didn’t realize why, his mom did not like him. He felt it and it was awful.
Damon told him recently, about his father. Devlin then, understood. His mom let him hug her for a few, then she went to Clifton for support. Gareth helped Clifton, with mom’s care. They both were engaged and so, they were busy and spelled each other. Now what Devlin knew Deirdre, he followed her to Cruwellers. He was a shapeshifter, so this was not a difficult task. He found what Reginald was giving her. He began to watch and throw out the medication when he could. Gareth, Devlin’s half brother admired Devlin and so they were close.

The Tea is not Good
Devlin often spilled the tea. Deirdre was thought clumsy by Reginald. Reginald was angry, the poison was not being taken. There were many servants around and Deirdre had a maid Monica, who suspected, Reginald was up to no good. She caught him once putting something in Deirdre’s tea. From then on, Monica would change the tea. If she couldn’t, Devlin would knock the tea over. So Reginald was foiled somewhat. Too much poison tea was drunk by Deirdre, anyway. She was sickly, from the failed attempts of Monica and Devlin.
Devlin would have a Tanzanite, (Tanzanites were full blooded shapeshifters.) Narn, who was sent to the Kings College at Nephrite planet, was a friend of Devlin’s. It was the place, royals went to school. Narn was not a royal but he was a cousin to the king of Tanzanite. He went to school to help his king with finances. He met Devlin and helped him. He became Devlin’s roommate and began to help Devlin, with being a non Tanzanite, shapeshifter. He knew Devlin to be confused and helped him get himself under control, as to how most shapeshifters acted.
Narn and Echo taught Devlin, how to make thought pictures in his mind. This kept him occupied. He would go over and over the picture and this would keep him from doing something stupid sometimes.) (Echo, Clifton’s fiancé seemed to get Devlin) she was the result of another one of Devel’s indiscretions also. She and Devlin were about the same age. She was the most Gloom of any of the near royals. She would help him in ways he did not know, when she was around. She was extremely powerful. She loved Clifton and knew, how to help Devlin. She and Narn helped him, all during his life.
Narn helped mostly by spelling Devlin. Devlin sometimes had royal duties and he also was expected home to help with his mom. He would have Narn watch Deirdre, when he (Devlin) went home to Starlynn. Devlin found out, what was eating Reginald. He read Reginald’s mind. Deirdre and he had been married and they had no children. Soon, Devlin mulled this over and he did something, he shouldn’t have. Devlin impregnated Deirdre and she had Charlotte, Soren’s sister. Reginald was okay for about a year, then he again started to poison Deirdre again. He wanted a son, this time. The doctor had told him, he could not have children. Reginald was angry with the doctor. He knew he had had Charlotte. He wanted a son now.
Devlin was still around and he was so upset. He asked his servant Gar to arrange the meeting of Deirdre and himself. Monica told Gar forget it. Gar began to like Monica. He was not happy at Devlin’s antics but he knew from the story, he was able to put together, that Devlin was trying to keep Reginald form killing Deirdre. Deirdre was scared of Devlin. There was no love between them, for many a year. Devlin asked Deirdre to allow him to impregnate her, once again. She realized, if she died, from Reginald’s hand, she would not be able to protect Charlotte and she was worried. She finally agreed to allow Devlin to impregnate her, she hoped she would have a son so Reginald would be okay. This time she had Soren. (For those who disapprove, I agree. This was an awful solution but they solved the problem and they had the wonderful Soren, and the precious Charlotte.) Soren was quite a bit younger than Charlotte.
Eventually, a suitor, Vegret wanted to marry Charlotte. Deirdre and Vegret, king of Colwynah, arranged for an announcement before Reginald and his evil sister Idris, (queen of Xanthos) could have Charlotte marry Thorborg. Thorborg was the heir apparent of Xanthos. Reginald had a heart attack and conveniently died, but his sister was in hate of Deirdre and Cruwellers ever after. Thorborg was a friend of Soren’s and he had a desire for a marriage to Adrianna, a half sister of Amara, the queen of Starlynn. They did marry and had Wolan and Runa secretly.
Life worked out for most, except Adrianna. She had two children Wolan and Runa. They were hidden away from Ileana, Reginald’s sister for some time, Thorborg and she were happy. Then Ileana used Thorborg’s brother, Andreas to have Adrianna killed. Adrianna was a courtesan’s daughter of Amara’s father, king Anarward. Ileana although not the heir apparent, was the ruler of Xanthos. Her husband had died when Thorborg was an infant. She took over and was not really wanting to give up her reign to Thorborg, whom she used, as a pawn for three marriages and eventually three children. But along with the sad, there were the weddings of the future king of Obsidian and some others. Now, we go to current history of our heroes.

Weddings for the Current Fiancés
“Okay. That is settled,” said Aaron, about Erudite staying at Thorne’s palace. Aaron kept
a palace residence, his home. He really liked his castle, and did not want to move to Thorne’s castle. “Besides, Erudite was on Obsidian at Emera’s request. Thorne’s castle was Emera’s home,” Aaron thought. (Emera did not have her rooms in Thorne’s bedroom recently. She knew him to be sick and she had her own bedroom not far from Thorne’s. She sometimes had slept with him but when he went to Initron, she went back to her own bedroom.)

Astarte Weddings
These encounters of single Elusives, Bromines, Obsidians, and now Galliums, the relationships were just happening right before the gathering to go to the funeral of Thorne’s death,” said Aaron. Most Erbiums did not have a way to go to the funeral. The funeral would be put on the message boards. Recently, the palaces had their own TV’s, that would show events especially marriages, funerals, and naming days (Similar to initiation ceremonies, (the name of a new born child is put in the book of life, of the royals).
“We wish to have other marriages besides Blake, my son, and Aneira Bromine soon,” said Aaron. “Otto and Alissa’s daughter from the planet, Bromine are in a year and three months of courtship are going to have nuptials. Blake and Aneira will marry at Astarte. Then there seems to be at least three more couples maybe more that wish to get married and after a short discussion, there may be more. (The Elusive, unmarried men, all met North verse princesses.”
Aneira was there for Blake’s grandfather’s funeral. Livy and Aaron were back from mending the universe for the funeral. They the older Obsidian royals would go back to Radon soon. They wanted to make sure their work was holding.
“Another rift in the Universe would do the Directional verse and neighbors in, eventually if left, this was thought true, despite the success of their efforts. They would hang around the edge of the void for some years, making sure, the guard rail they made, would hold. It was touch and go for their barrier, until five years out, then maintenance was done every month.
They then had been working non stop for months, except when they came back for their dad’s funeral. They decided they would definitely come back for Millie’s and Avery’s wedding, and had. This happened to Avery’s parents. The damages were extensive. It took months to find the area of the planet Radon, a few weeks before the Gargoyle, the old, large, space ship arrived with Thorne’s body. Until Thorne’s death, Aaron, Olivia, and Kyle would use old ancient pirate ships. It seemed that the East verse was a place of culmination, connection of the pirate network of long ago. (All their pirate ships confiscated, were of medium size.)
The pirates wanted to be far away from Ancient and therefore, went to the trouble of going to the North Quadrant 54 to deposit their bounty of young Chameleons. The pirates would leave the teens off at a planet in the quadrant and leave the area. They would come back often. The planet around had the best food.
Later, the pirates were lesser people of powers. Their Chameleons were away from land too long and so the children of the pirates were weaker, than most Chameleons. Even though they had some Gloom in them, the powers came from the ground for the Chameleons. Without a lot of planet time, the Chameleons became weaker, peoples, as the centuries went bye.
Where the universe began to disintegrate. Aaron and Livy arrived first at planet Radon. Then the large ancient ship arrived three months afterwards, full of materials, that several others used to correct and fill in the areas, that had disappeared of planet Radon. The marriage of Millie and Avery occurred after the initial finding and stopping of the Void.

Wedding Announcements for Blake, Archray, Lydwina, Argyll, Erudite, and Emera
The Erbiums had a meeting each year at Erbium Center. All the Erbiums except Entrust and his two son’s would be at the meetings. Until Erudite and Erratic finished their sentences.(They had attacked Emera, Thorne’s queen. They the two brothers and their father, Entrust tried to sully Emera’s reputation. They were put in prison for their meanness and trauma to Emera.)
Meanwhile, to Emera’s current situation, Emera had cured Erudite and others emotions about Thorne’s death. She needed warming. Erudite was available but not so willing to help her. Erudite was still crazy about her and began to renew, his feelings recently. )
Then there was the ruling of the realm the East verse itself. [(Soon, Aaron would give a kingship [(to Erbium) to the Elusive family.] Entrust was now deceased, and his father Elusive was also. Erudite was the oldest child of of the current Elusive Erbiums in succession order. His father, Entrust had been the oldest Elusive. Erudite was a good candidate for kingship (See The Kings of Erbium pg 114 of this book eight, of the Tales of the North Quadrant 54.) (Erudite had been helping Thorne and Ensue run the East verse for several decades now. He would help Thorne’s son, king Aaron, who was busy with the prophecy and the Void. Aaron’s son Blake, and Thorne’s other son, Wyatt would rule the realm, with Erudite’s help and Blake’s father, Aaron’s help, if they were stuck.) All would be settled by Aaron at the funeral for Thorne.]

The First Announcement the Weddings
The king Thorne was gone and this year, the Erbiums, Erudite, and Erratic were at the funeral. Because Aaron had liked Erudite and was not angry at his (Erudite’s) and Erratic’s presence at the funeral. The new king Aaron decided on several announcements. This would be related to weddings first. Besides, some of the Erbiums were marrying the Obsidians. Aaron announced the weddings near the end of the funeral. Aaron would talk of kingship soon, with the Elusive Erbiums, after the wedding announcements.
“Before we go, I want to announce the weddings at Astarte in two weeks. At that time, if there are more weddings to be announced, they will be scheduled for three months to six months and/or a year, from now. All Erbiums are invited to these nuptials. Now, stand for the announcements,” said Aaron.
Princess Aneira Bromine and Prince Blake Obsidian, to marry,
Prince Archray Bromine to marry, Lindsey Endina.
Princess Lydwina Obsidian and Errant Erbium, to marry,
Lord Argyll, son of Escalate Erbium, Elusive and Danielle Cruwellers, Starlynn-Sterlynn,
Empress, and queen, Emera Starlynn Obsidian and Lord Erudite, Entrust, Elusive -Erbium are to marry also.
These are the assigned weddings. It is possible several of those engaged mentioned next will be married in two months or soon after, also. All invited to the original weddings here will be invited in the future.
And an announcement of fiancé status for;
Wyatt Obsidian and Lady Em, Erratic Elusive-Erbium,
His majesty, prince Theydon Gallium and Lady Ebecca Erudite’s daughter, an Erbium,

Lord Equate, son of Entropy Elusive-Erbium and princess Willow Cruwellers
We are expecting the Obsidians, Cruwellers, Starlynn’s, Yoastian, and the Erbiums weddings soon, within the next three months.
Besides the weddings, we are having a Cotillion at Danburite after the weddings. We are inviting not only the Obsidians and the Bromines, we are inviting the Galliums also. Those young, who are engaged to people of the North verse, as well as, the Glooms and the Erbiums are invited also. Those engaged were at the festivities,” said King Aaron.
The weddings with those, whose parents were from the North Verse, were married at Ishtar. Bethany and Delia Yoast and Willow Cruwellers were married first at Ishtar. The next day, they were married at Astarte. Astrid’s fastest ship brought the couples to Astarte quickly. Meanwhile, the Bromines were coming in from a planet near Neon, where their ship was docked after passage through the Cadmium Corridor. (Arklet will wait for Theydon to deliver the couples Archray and Lindsey and Errant and Lydwina.)(Section 7 The Glooms are beginning to emerge on the Bohrmine side of the Verses. Their laws are quoted. Livid, king of Mica has a challenge to his power from the Slate king, Outrage. Eventually, Archshire will have to quell a rebellion. The problem will be solved in an unusual way. Count on the Empath’s to help in many solutions, to Gloom problems in the near and far future.)
