The crowning (part 1)

Both women had no problem entering the capital city of the Memorial race. Usually, they would have had trouble entering the Hydro station and the city, trying to avoid the gaze of the guards and more, but thankfully it seemed at least luck was on their side for now.

Thousands of people had come to the city today to celebrate the crowning of the New King, Yanny. They were unaware of this when they first arrived at the scene, but while using the large crowd to their advantage to get out of the lax security in the Hydro station, they overheard people excitedly talk about the event.

Once in the city, both girls decided to take a break as they swam between two buildings and looked at everyone swimming past.

"What's wrong?" Ceril asked as she slowly floated to her sister. Tears were running down her face. Lately, she had seen her sister cry more often, but at least she knew what the trigger was before. At the moment, she didn't know what had brought this on.
