The throne room within the palace deep in the heart of Japan's mainland was filled with  excitement. The kingdom had long had links with Dragonia, its own Queen, Lucinda being the Ambassador. It also had strong connections with Camelot, the King himself having once served there. However despite friendships with its people, Blackthorn had never officially been linked to Japan and following the invasions on both nations, with the other coming to each other's aid it was decided the time had come to make it official. 

The crowd gathered before King Philip of Japan, here in the same halls in which his daughter had been crowned as Queen in her mothers absence. Guests from all over Free World gathered of course, but most notably from the two nations involved, Blackthorn and Japan.

Beside King Philip, Lord Darwin Evo tugged awkwardly at his robes. He hated such ceremonial clothing but he knew it mattered to those around him. By his side his newly adopted daughter, Lady Lizzy Evo took his hand with a smile which quickly comforted him. 

"Guests from every nation, welcome to Japan. Today we are here to honour Ruby Red of Blackthorn Town and give her the title of Ambassador between her home in Blackthorn and Japan". The crowd applauded her especially Regina and Maddy whom sat either side of her. Both among her closest friends the smiled and cheered her on. Philip continued "despite the oceans that separate these two allies we are friends and in remembering that I have asked our resident of those oceans, River to be the one to present you your title". River stepped towards Ruby handing her the scroll. 

Philip gestured forward as seven, Morgan and Ambrosia, leaders of each nation shook her hand confirming it. Philip spoke "whilst here in Japan Ruby will reside on Darwin's island alongside he and his daughter acting as there advisor" he gestured towards the two "now Ruby, if you would like to say a few words?"

Red wanted to say something , something that had made her express how she felt about this." I..I just wanted to say, that coming from a land , of fairy tales," red laughed softly." my kind was not.. welcome. werewolves, were thought of as dangerous, the big bad wolf. when some are.. but I was run out of my town. for good reason." Red won′t go into that.′ but I feel so welcome here, no one shy′s away from me here.  to be asked to become the ambassador , was a great honor I don′t think I should have at all.. thank you. more then anything thank you for this. I will try and do my best ."

Darwin applauded overly enthusiastically with his daughter and soon everyone joining in.
