Unknown in our history, shortly after Lurasia and Gondwana split up several great continents appeared on the Earth. Of course, they don't know, but there was human life at this point of the Earth's life. These times were marred by war, as great rulers strained for dominance over each other. Each of them formed alliances, but they worked only for their own gain.

The fourth leader was Diz. The middle of her country would be around 40 degrees latitude, top would be about 65 latitude, and bottom 25 latitude (all according to our maps). The width would be about 90 degrees of longitude if we were using degrees to measure. To make that simpler, it would be about the size of Asia. Her country was fairly diverse in it's climate and geography but consisted mostly of wet, temperate climates. The people there were also fairly diverse because the size of the country and mountainous terrain separated them to a large degree. In each location, the people had adapted accordingly to their surroundings, even so, the country was very unified as a nation. Even though Diz was a dictator, the government was similar to a republic. This gave the people a fair amount of freedom, keeping them happier. Happier people meant they would be more loyal and less likely to go against government. The people had technology, but knew very well how to survive in the wild. Their education was good, and important in the culture, but not to an extreme level. They also had a large many different religions, some monotheistic, others polytheistic. Their military was also strong, it also had an extremely strong navy and air force. Comparable to ancient Athens military, but modern. Also, the people there loved, and revered the wolf. The country's climate and topography allowed the wolf population to thrive. Wolves were everywhere. Even so, this didn't cause problems for the people, the wolves stayed in the wild and the other animals that they consumed were enough to support the population. It was also illegal to kill wolves unless in self defense (there's only been 8 cases like this in the county's history.) or unless it was an accident.

Raven dismissed her messenger and smiled. He was the third messenger sent to one of the leaders around her. The first was heading to Diz and the second went to Gifted, and the third to Fox. If they didn't come back in three days, she would count that as a rejection of alliance. She planned to go herself to visit Crow. When her messengers had gone, she slipped on a cloak and put up the hood. She was the ruler there, but it was best her people didn't see her crossing the boundaries, especially in the middle of the night.
Several hours later, she glanced cautiously around herself on the boat. She could tell that dawn was approaching. By the time she got there, the sun would be fully above the horizon in her kingdom. However, in Crow’s, it never seemed right. She was never sure how the sunlight was there.
A horn blew, awaking Raven from a deep sleep. She hadn’t even realized she fell asleep. She stretched, making sure no one could see her face, then got off the boat. Shivering, she went to locate Crow.

The guards around the dock were looking down into the harbor and noticed a strange hooded figure walking into the city. with a wave of their hands two men walked over to her each holding a strange silver blade with a glowing purple liquid splashing around in the handle and the leash to a Ferval, six legged dog beasts whose mouths secreted a liquid the same color as the one contained in the knives. They slowly walked up and spoke to her calmly in unison," Please identify yourself or you will be aprehended, if you resist we will have no choice but to exterminate you." Their cold yellow eyes were focused on the figure.

Raven smiled. "I'm here to see your leader. Crow." She dropped her hood. "To identify myself, I am Raven, if you didn't realize." She had her arms folded in a way that allowed her to hold the hilts of her knives. If they didn't approve of her presence, she could defend herself.

Looking at each other for a second they looked back at her and nodded before speaking to her," We have been informed to let you pass if we ever ran into you, very well, just past the harbor look for the small black builing, it should have a glass door and contains only stairs, down the stairs are where our leader Crow spends most of his time." They bowed a bit and stepped away holding the leashes almost directly at the collars so the fervals could barely move.

"So it's settled then. Rakel and Dominic will go to Ravens country. Joan and Pierce will go to Diz's country. September and Yazmin will go to Rachels country. And Cristel and Noah will go to Crows kingdom. Also, I'm sending Jane, Heather and Jared to Fox's country. I don't like the way she runs things. It worries me. You each get a lower class rank in different parts of the country. We need information on exactly how they treat their people," I sighed, looking at eleven of my spies. "They used to be my friends before we all obtained power, but I don't trust them. Especially Diz. And Rachel has to be the leader in military matters for a reason," "Yes your Majesty," Rakel, the spy leader, said. "Oh none of this your Majesty stuff, we're just friends here. I'm going to need a couple of you to break the law so we can test the justice system, but you'll wait for my okay. And Joan, you in particular need to appear not to be too extrordinary. You have to act like you're in pain when you get hit, you hear?" "Don`t worry, I`ll play it up,"Joan assured me. "Alright," I said. "I've got different boats that you can take, but you'll have to drive yourself, since you're supposedly 'running away' from here," They nodded and left. I was glad we were almost the front runners (just behind Crow) in technology and our new instant communications system had not been cracked yet. To get into it, you would have to know a password, and copy the iris pattern of the owner of the system, but once you got through security you could have a converasation with someone in another country. They were only availible to the spies at the moment for missions and were only to be used to contact myself, but f another country ever discovered them and they could no longer be used for spies I planned to make them the new telephone.

Raven nodded at them, then continued on her way. As soon as she spotted the building, she hurried toward it. She walked down the stairs to find Crow sitting in a spinny chair. "Hey," she called to him.

Crow spun around and smiled as Raven came in and called out to her," Look at you coming in unannounced you should have sent word ahead I could have gotten you here faster on a Oceanor or at least prepared a better reception, the guards told me you were coming but I didn't have enough time to even prepare any food." He laughed a little then continued," So what brings you here Raven?"

"My people don't trust you. I had to leave without them knowing. I came because I don't trust the others. I think someone is going to get attacked. Soon. Then we'll have a lot of fighting. I've always been one for tactics. I came to assure an allience," Raven told him. She had her hair tucked behind one ear.

He spun around and then spoke to her again with a serious face on," That sounds like a good idea....the others seem a bit shady... What are the terms of the alliance?" He reached over and picked up a lollipop from a table near his chair and decided it was a nice shade of pink before unwrapping it and putting it into his mouth.

I went back into my room, a rather huge thing with a grand bed. Almost immeaditley several servents, a few of many who were paid lavishly for their services, began to swarm me. "We have just been informed a royal messenger rom Raven's kingdom is arriving soon, Princess Sarteena!" One said. "You must get ready!" I groaned. "You guys know I hate getting all dressed up. Why can't I just be me?" Currently I was just dressed in jeans and a T-shirt. Oh sure, they were exspensive and dressy, but they were still just jeans and a T-shirt. That was how I liked it. "You need to look the part of a princess to the public miss," "I know, I know," I sighed. "At least let me wear the blue dress, I look atrocious in that gold one," "As you wish," The maids got me dressed up, in makeup and with my hair curled into graceful ringlets in the front and tied in a bun in the back, so I really did look the part of the beautiful red-haired princess. I went into my scarcely used throne rom and sat upon the throne. "Raven's messenger can enter," she called out, so her guards would open the doors and escort the person in.

Raven smiled. "I'll have some of my forces positioned here, you'll have some of yours positioned in Ravonia (I may think of a better name, until then, Ravonia it is!). If one of us is attacked, the other will provide assistance... If you have anything to add, go ahead," she told him. ((is thinking of SO many perverted things Crow could reply with! XD))
The messenger stepped through the door. He was wearing a simple black uniform with a dark red sash, typical of Raven. He bowed. "Princess Sarteena," he greeted with reverance.

He stopped spinning and leaned his head on his hand before continuing,"So why makes you think you can just come out of the blue and ask me for a favor like this? Maybe you need to "persuade me" to agree." He looked at her with a strange smile on his face before continuing," I'm only kidding of course, Maybe we should let our populations have the chance to mingle I would provide the transportation using my creatures of course. I don't seem to have any paper but perhaps we should seal the agreement with a kiss?" The last part was a joke but he wouldn't really complain if it happened.

((I love you, Crow!!! XD)) Raven was blushing hard. "You joke too much, Crow. That's hardly appropriate," she told him sternly.
