Elsewhere on Helionia, Trajo was arguing with Prion. “If my father asks us to stay quiet about the new portal that we found on Galafrey, then we should do it, he knows much more about the ways of the world, and I am sure that he knows best Prion.”
“Trajo the lives of the seven men could be saved by sending in a large armed party through the portal on Galafrey, surely you can see the sense in that?” Prion argued heatedly.
“If my father wants me to stay quiet then stay quiet I will, do not ask me to go against his wishes, you mean a great deal to me Prison, but he is my father, and don`t shout at me.” Trajo demanded.
“You know why he doesn`t want us to mention the new portal, it is because it suits him down to the ground to have his only opponent for the presidency lost inside some god forsaken alien world, and especially one from which there is no known way of rescuing him.” Prion declared.
“Prion, do not inform the authorities about the new portal, for if you do, then you and I as a couple will be history, ok.” With that, Trajo turned and stalked away towards her new post as curator of the archaeological museum of Helionia.
Prion looked after her not knowing what to do, he had no fondness for any politician, but Ares Fortuna had helped him move ahead in his chosen field as an archaeologist, so he didn`t want to betray him, but it didn`t seem right to say nothing about the portal. Prion though surrendered, the thought of losing Trajo was definitely too high a price to pay, so he followed her and decide to apologise to her and agree to her demands.
