The Family of Darius before Alexander by Paolo Veronese

This painting is full of activity. The main attention goes to the two groups of life-size people in the foreground. The painting shows how the family of Persian King Darius (in the center) appears in front of King Alexander the Great and his following (on the right) to ask for mercy. The man on the right, dressed in red and gold, is Alexander the Great. To his right, with the orange cape, is his good friend and advisor Hephaistion who is pointing to himself. Alexander is further surrounded by other high-ranked officers in his army, some of which a carrying a weapon called a halberd. The woman in blue in the center foreground is the mother of Darius, Sisygambis. She is pleading for mercy on behalf of her family. To her left, dressed in gold is the wife of Darius, Stateira, and to her left are their two daughters in beautiful identical dresses. To the right of Sisygambis is a small figure. Some say that this may be a son of Darius and Stateira, but most consider this to be a random dwarf.

The Battle of Issus… circa November 5,6, 333 BC… 40,000 men under the leadership of an upstart named Alexander defeats King Darius with an army of over 100,000… Civilization becomes a more tangible reality.

Prompt #7

Note: This episode is called “A Royal Problem”

Queen Goodfey and King Darius calls Arkayna and Zarya to the stronghold. They tell Arkayna and Zarya that they will be away for a day for a multi-kingdom summit, and they want one of them to take over, as Gawayne is not a good leader. Zarya suggests that Arkayna takes over, as Zarya is still relatively new to being royal. Meanwhile, Gawayne is being sent to his uncle’s place, as he promised to help Gawayne become a better leader. Gawayne’s butler, who has recently became the family’s butler and is being paid accordingly, stays to help. 

Queen Goodfey and King Darius leave for the summit, and Arkayna is nervous about combining her responsibilities of being a Mysticon and taking over all the royal duties. The other Mysticons promise that they can handle all the Mysticon duties for the day, and Arkayna reluctantly agrees. She makes the Mysticons promise to call her if anything happens. 

The day as ruler starts off well, with Arkayna using what her mom taught her, as well as the skills she learned dealing with others as a Mysticon, to handle various problems and duties. Just then, a guard comes, saying that the Vexicons have escaped. Arkayna calls the others for help, and they review the security footage. According to the footage, a masked person freed the Mysticons. The Mysticons decide to look for the Vexicons, but Arkayna has a lot of duties to attend to, including examining the palace’s security due to the escape. Zarya promises Arkayna that they can handle it, and while Arkayna stays behind, the rest of the Mysticons look for the Vexicons. 

Meanwhile, Arkayna is at the palace, examining security cameras and talking to guards. She realizes that it was someone who has access to the castle, and initially has suspicions about the butler, as he may have resentment about how he was treated. She is about to fire the butler right away, but decides that she needs proof that it’s the butler.

Em suggests that the Vexicons would likely try to recruit Eartha, and they head to Rudick’s Hollow. They go to the Goldenbraid’s house, where Citrine reveals that Eartha was running an errand. They go into town to find Eartha, who is under attack by the Vexicons. A fight ensues, and while Piper and Eartha manage to escape, the Vexicons manage to get a hold of Zarya and Em, and Willa teleports them away. 

Back at the palace, Arkayna reviews security footage. When she looks at the video, she realizes that the person who freed the Vexicons was too short to be the butler. She is about to make a plan to see who else it could be when Piper calls, frantically explaining the situation. Arkayna remembers legends of a stone near Rudick’s Hollow that can turn people evil, and as they were initially going after Eartha, Arkayna suspects that’s where they’re taking Zarya and Em. Arkayna gives Piper the directions, but tells her to be careful. Arkayna asks the butler to take over her duties, and while he is initially reluctant (Gawayne asked him to do that all the time), he quickly agrees when he learns about the situation. 

Piper and Eartha go to the stone and arrive just as the Vexicons are about to begin the ritual to turn Zarya and Em evil. Piper and Eartha free Zarya and Em, and a fight ensues. Arkayna arrives, and while the stone is destroyed, the Vexicons escape. They take Eartha home before returning to Drake City. On the way home, Arkayna worries about what her parents will think of her day as Queen. Zarya reassures her that she did fine, and that if Queen Goodfey criticizes her, she’ll tell her everything Arkayna did right that day.

Queen Goodfey and King Darius return, and Arkayna explains what happened. Gawayne’s butler tells the royal parents all the good moments of Arkayna’s time as leader, and Queen Goodfey realizes that she did her best, and mentions that, as Dreadbane got in the castle once, she wasn’t the best at security either. King Darius adds that Arkayna was better than Gawayne in terms of responsibility, as Gawayne managed to avoid going to his uncle’s house. However, Queen Goodfey mentions that they do have to figure out who freed the Vexicons.
