High in the Sky 2 [36]

"I don't see anything wrong" Sarya said

They hid in some bush from on top of a mountain not to close and not to far away from the kingdom, from there they viewed the whole kingdom without any worries, Sarya looked at the kingdom and she concluded that nothing was wrong, but then Kai pointed up into the skies, they saw a platform slowly floating up into the sky, u could barely see it even moving. It looked like was stationary viewed from far away, Kai pointed up even higher showing a small dot in the sky, possibly a floating island.

"it's far but.. But the being's presence I sense is far greater than any other demon in the kingdom" Lily said

"could it be the leader?" Ferris suggested.

They thought for a second, this could be the greatest opportunity to re capture the Kingdom while their leader is off to a vacation on a floating island. Lucky for them Azazel the demon thought he already secured the victory. He probably wouldn't even bother to look down, eyes only in the prize, maybe even looking up to much can put some strain in Azazel's neck.

They made haste back to the castle, leaving behind Sieg with his unconscious body lying on the soft grass floor of the forest, guarded by the tall and buff man named David who luckily survived.

[How long will this take] Azazel said with impatience.

[from our current speed and the height of the island..... 40 minutes] Diane said.

Her pupils operated and looked like cogs, except it was made with flesh, indeed it looked beautiful, the flesh cogs had a twinkle like shape, each of them spinning perfectly and seemingly without bumping into other cogs, perhaps her eyes were more striking than that of a

Azazel's red eyes.

Under them was the large floor that was once touching the ground, it was so big that it looked like you were in your own planet, the high speed winds smashed your face and messed up your hair but not enough to throw you over. It possessed no railings to prevent you from falling.

Both of them stood silently and awkwardly, but the awkwardness only seemed to appear on Azazel, on the other hand Diane stared in some random patch of the endless sky and the endless clouds with random patterns, types and colors from pure snow white to black stormy clouds with lightning storms happening inside them.

Azazel seemed tense, he really couldn't handle the quietness, he attempted small talks but failed since Diane only answered them and not caring to extend it further.

Eventually after a long hellish elevator journey they finally made it, the floating island was actually pretty huge from up close. In the middle was a large hole filled treasures surrounded by pillars that held a roof mare up of leaves, in fact the whole island was filled with many diversity of plants, it even had small ponds.

It looked like a pool made up of gold. It seemed like the architecture was different from the kingdom below, it possed more old styles of architecture, even some of the many many gold objects seemed to have aged quite a bit, perhaps it was stolen.

By the time Azazel and his aid Diane stepped foot on the wonderous island, Ferris and the others also miraculously stepped foot inside the kingdom at the same time.
