Gathering allies

A month had passed since Amazonia was taken. Fred couldn't take back Amazonia yet because then Marcia would send a bigger army and he wasn't ready for that yet.

"Okay, we're not going to be able to take Valenhelm alone" said Fred, "we're gonna need to ally with other nations"

"Like invade them to build up our power base?" asked Mordred.

"We don't have time to wage wars while Valenhelm wages war with us" Fred told, "I mean we form an actual alliance. We already have Crowind but given how close to Valenhelm it is, they'll probably fall to them quickly. I say we go to Predigger and ally with their ruler"

Fred decided to take Daenerys, Mordred and Jeanne with him. Daenerys and Mordred were both dragons, flying to Predigger would only take a few hours. Fred chose to take Jeanne because he wanted to earn her trust.

She and the Order of Saint Joan could be powerful allies. Alice would governor Camelot in Fred's stead.

"I want to come with you" said Melody.

"You've be best off staying here" said Fred, "white mages are hard to come by"

"I know you're worried by losing a healer if I'm killed or captured" said Melody, "but someone needs to be able to heal your dragons. What if they get too injured to fly back here?"

"I wanna come too" said Suzie, "my lightning ball can travel just as fast as a dragon, maybe even faster"

Fred and Melody rode on Daenerys while Jeanne rode on Mordred. Suzie followed behind in her lightning ball form.

Fred, Daenerys, Jeanne, Melody, Mordred and Suzie quickly arrived at Predigger. The places basically looked like Persia from Disney's Aladdin (the original, Fred hated all the live action remakes except Jungle Book) but with black guys.

They landed outside palace of their capitol city, Dunfell. Inside they were greeted by Tritrus and Serete. It turned out they were the prince and princess. Their father, T'Chama, was the ruler of Predigger.
