Queen Devo

PART EIGHT

Devo had been born to wealthy parents and she was already quite influential by the time she was eight. She had been recognised as part of the Immortal council when she was ten and at eleven she she was made special adviser to the queen which was the highest position anyone who wasn't actually ruling could have. But when she was 15 something happened, no one ever found out exactly what. One day in the month of winter, (or the second month.), Devo and a young courtier disappeared without leaving any trace. In the month of spring, (or the third month.), she was found unconscious in the cockpit of a freighting ship.

She never told anyone what happened to her companion. Afterwards she was not the same. Soon she was made queen and married a man of great wealth and good position but who she never really loved. They had two sons, Simon and Ivro. Devo loved Ivro the best and spent most of her spare time with him, sadly neglecting her younger son and her husband, so when Ivro was killed by the Tuesday 14 fire she accused his father and his brother of causing his death and the fire but the general public thought otherwise. A month afterward Simon and his father vanished. The next year she married again, this time to a man who, although handsome,was not the most respectable man. Devo loved him dearly but found him rather trying. They had three children, two girls, Evo and Aira, and one boy, Iro. One day Devo found incriminating information about her husband. She was of course not very happy and a month later her husband disappeared. After this Devo said she would never marry again. These were not her only problems, her daughter Aira had sided with the fairies against Devo. One day she received the information that her daughter was going to travel by air to spy on her. With Aira were her best spies and good friends Sam and Jill Edward and their daughter Anise. Devo sent her soldiers to mt Duvet to shoot down the plane as it flew over.

They succeeded but Anise Edward escaped. This was not found out until 11 years later and Iro was sent to dispose of Anise but she escaped again. Devo sent raiding parties to every possible place Anise could have gone and inspected all the prisoners herself with Iro and soon found her. She put Anise in enforced hibernation which was very easy to do to fairies. The other prisoners were kept isolated in case Anise had told them about the aeroplane crash.
