But then, Queen Beryl had little concern for the feelings of anything other than herself.
Instead, she merely set her hard gaze upon the figure before her and did her best to look demanding and powerful. The latter was a hard appearance to give for her, but the shifting individuals in the shadows knew just how strong she really was, and despite her lack of any obvious power, they knew that it would be bad for their health to get on her bad side.
So they merely hung back and waited as she scowled at the Dark General in front of her. "So, why have you not gained the energy we need, as you were sent out to do?"
"My yoma were stopped three times, my Queen" Jadeite replied, bowing towards her in a show of upmost respect.
"Is that so? And why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
"Because I wanted to find out who it was. The first failed rather quickly after she was attacked by what she said was another yoma. My second lost to a girl in what was said to be a silly outfit. But what she thought the girl was didn't seem possible."

"Of course, my Queen."
Beryl scowled. "What do you know about them?"
"Not much, I'm afraid. They've only sent that one warrior, and haven't advanced any plans of their own yet."
"Then we must make sure that they never get the chance."
Jadeite nodded in response, and merely let the mutterings of the beings behind him continue. He knew that there would be endless speculation about who could be trying to muscle in on the Dark Kingdom's mission, but he was also aware of the fact that there was little hard evidence.
