His appearance changed gradually, but what really mindblowed Xephos, Honeydew, Lalna and Ming Li was the fact that his wings and shoulder pad fell off, giving way to another pair of wings, the real wings of the lunarian prince himself. By the time the light faded to a gentle white glow, Luminatio was anything but same. His feelers were no longer grey and yellow, but are now bright purple and orange, his eye ridge was seratted, and resembling a right-angled triangle, with the insides being sky and normal blue, bordered with black. The biggest change however, was his wings, what was once blue, green and yellow was now turquoise green, pink and reddish pink veins, the shape was different as well, resembling more of a Chinese ship's sail than his past wings.

"Lumi... what the ...... how?"

"These wings were never mine, they belonged to an old relative of mine who had died some time back."

"What happened to your old wings then?"

"This question will require a rather long story scientist, it is best if I told you about my past later."

"Fine by me."

"Now what?"

"Father of the blue butterfly, will you lead us to the lunarian ruler, we require his opinions on something."

"But Luminatio, you know he will never agree to your requests."

"I will play his game for now, besides, the sudden appearance of the long presumed 'dead' prince is bound to send a shockwave through the city, and his mind as well."

"But you will be placing yourself in the line of fire if so."

"He wouldn't dare do anything, as long as Paschal is around, speaking of which, I think she would be most amused if she sees me."

"And your friends..."

"They will come with me."

Leading the way out of the chamber, the old guard led the four dragons through the many winding corridors of the palace, careful to not let anyone of the younger guards see them. Lalna had taken the liberty of memorising the layout of the palace, just in case they might need to go to the bathroom or something, Honeydew was looking about, trying to contain his anxiousness at meeting the so called lunarian 'ruler', Xephos however looked thoroughly confused, for some unknown reason. The sudden appearance of Luminatio in the ruler's chamber indeed sent a shock through the room, the first one to react was of course, Paschal.

"Wait.... have I seen you before.....?"

"Yes you have indeed, Paschal, daughter of my blood parents, Voile and Erinys."

"Luminatio.... is it..?"

"Yes my dear sister, I have returned."

Paschal descended from her position on the marble altar, and came in close to Luminatio, her sky blue eyes inspecting her long lost brother carefully.

"Golden eyes, just like our mother's... pale green scales, a mix of Voile's white and Erinys's green.... you are for real..... but where have you been all this time?"

"We have much to catch up Paschal, but we can save the stories for another day, now I must ask of a favour from the current ruler."

"Be careful my little brother, he's been acting strangely lately, be aware of your manners."

"I will sister, then we shall talk."

Luminatio broke off eye contact with his sister, before he faced the intimidating figure of Umbra, the one and only bane in his life that he had sworn to be rid of, who was now shifting in his seat, a rather worried expression on his face.

"Bringing in the consideration that I am now officially the prince of the lunarian empire, I wish to direct your attention upon my three friends here."

"What is your business with them."

His voice was cold, harsh, a little furious even.

"They were caught up in an explosion, which has in turn melded my DNA code into theirs, which turned them into their current state, though I wish to inform you they were formally humans from a planet known as Minecraftia."

The word 'human' drew a gasp from almost all of the lunarian guard force.

"What is it that I must grant you."

"To turn them back into humans."

"That will be settled another day, I am tired from spending too much time in the capital, I shall let the guards escort you to your rooms."

"That was total bollocks, he didn't even LOOK tired!"

"Calm down Xephos, Paschal is coming."

The four dragons and one half ghost waited in silence as the female lunarian ruler strode in, her sky blues eyes alive with inner fire.

"Now we shall talk, Xephos and Honeydew, can you meet me at the garden later, I have things to say that may not be of your interest."

"Alright then, see ya later."

The two Yogscast members opened the door to leave, not noticing a cheeky Ming Li follow them, probably going to attempt to scare their pants off.
