1st and 2nd point

-The Veller mansion-

"What are you doing here?"

A warm tone asked to thin air, his voice echoing the entire library. He wore a gray sweater with black pajamas sitting in a queen chair. His legs crossed and reading a newspaper.

Sultry chuckle echoes as it reaches near his ears,

"You can hide it from me but not for long~"

A husky sly voice whispered behind him though in reality there was not a soul present in the library.

"Why didn't you take it when you had the chance?" the man questioned.

"O-Daniel…..you know I love a chase right~"

The sultry voice replied near his neck as if trying to bite through but disappeared with a 'hiss' sound as Daniel sprayed some liquid behind his neck.

"I never liked you lot"

-Royal City-

Green slit eyes scan the bright street until it dilates at the sight of burgundy hair coming out of a yellow building followed by a man beside the girl.

Its pupil turned to slit again and hissed lowly at the man grinning and talking to the girl same his height. It pulled the black veil fixed on its hair and covered its face.

"Ey! Arthur!!" a harsh voice called out from the silver building next to 'Verite'.

Cinne and Arthur stopped from their tracks and looked at the carrier of the familiar voice Cinne soon realized when she saw the dusky blonde man standing up and going to the front door of the silver building, above it were written 'Good &Wicked' along with other ten different words possibly carrying the same meaning.

Cinne frown at the dusky man in black uniform with some white wings pinned in his right arm, he was also frowning at the burgundy girl, both of them forgetting the presence of the curly blonde man.

"What are you doing here?" he directed the question to the burgundy haired girl looking into her sapphire orbs.

"Why do you ask? I already said I was heading to the royal city" Cinne said coolly with a wicked smile, her hand playing with her gold chain inside the fabric.

��Wait you know each other?" Arthur finally made his presence known at the intense vibe his two friends give out.

"Saw this bitc-"

"We don't know each other, we just crossed path yesterday. He was with other five men" Cinne said while looking at Arthur both of her hands inside her back pockets and giving a shrug at Mustaf's glare.

"What is it Mus? Already back from your morning patrol?" Arthur asked his 'one of a kind' friend.

"Sicker is asking for your performance today" Mustaf said his voice a bit lower and avoiding eye contact with Cinne's knowing eyes scanning his behavior towards Arthur.

"Wh-" "You can't say no" Mustaf quickly replied and eyed at Cinne as if she could disappear but she remained oblivious.

"Arthur, I'm not catching up" Cinne said as she slightly tugged his sleeves.

"You can ju-" Arthur shushed Mustaf and turned to Cinne his eyes already apologizing.

"Sicker is the owner of 'Good & wicked' here" he pointed towards the building next to them and continued "I'm a singer or musician so to say and performs there sometimes" he shyly says as if revealing his deepest secret which everyone knows.

"Oh please you're a talented singer with your ability and all-"

"Just let me finish first!" Arthur raised his voice a little which shut Mustaf, Cinne scoffed inside.

"It's okay Arthur you can explain afterwards during dinner which I'll be cooking for the three of us!" Cinne short moment was cut off by Mustaf.

"Make it four I'll be staying over today" Mustaf said eyeing Cinne again as if she was a 'soon to be' thief.

"Will you be okay? Going to-"

"I'll be fine Arthur just go on your way-" Cinne waved off his sad tone but could see that he was excited to perform. She looked at her watch which says 8:30 am.

She continued "And I could come and watch you too if my work finishes early" she gave her genuine smile and without waiting for a reply from the two surprised men she made her way to 'Star'.

A woman with royal red hair was sitting on a metal chair, her pink tea cup floating above her black veiled faced. The woman was sitting opposite the silver building. A smile plastered on her face as her eyes followed the burgundy hair going to the 'creatures stable'.

As if on cue she got up when the two men went inside the building, her floating cup whisking the entire drink in a flower pot nearby and following with a hiss from her lips, her hourglass figure in white dress she made her way to the 'Creatures stable'.

Cinne's POV

'Creatures stable' was written in the front gate. The same stout man from yesterday opened the gate and welcomed me. I nodded then said, "Hello Sir I came to take my horse for a ride today" while giving a wooden cube with a no.9 written on it.

"Right away Miss, let me lead you-"

"No thank you good Sir, I know the way"

He bowed again which made me uncomfortable.

As I entered the place where horses where kept, I bumped into a woman in a white fitting oh-so beautiful dress and out of the sudden action I quickly held both her arms saving her white dress from getting dirty.

Our faces an arm's length she looked surprise 'obviously who wouldn't be surprised?' her green eyes with slit pupil expanded and blood red lips in a slight 'o' motion.

I quickly let go of her elbow and turned her around while receiving a sudden yelp. Inspecting if the dress was a-okay I apologized sincerely (mostly to the dress). She nodded and was about to say something but I was already earshot away from her after hearing metals clanging in Star's stable.

I open the black metal-like gate and Star came in view. He stopped his movement and looked at me as if spelling my soul to freeze. His long floating mane reaching to the hoofs which suddenly reminded me of the strands of hair I found in my bed this morning.

"Morning my love~" cooing I patted his front muscles.

"You know I found some strands of hair on my bed this morning I thought it was weird but now I know it was from you~" he licked around my neck earning a giggle from me at the cool and calm feeling.

"I'm sure you're not a normal horse Star otherwise how would your presence always calm me~" I combed his silky hair and some fell out from my fingers reaching the ground.

"Right we have to finish the report today in the 'Setter' which sounds so evil for some reason"

I motioned Star to bend down and he did so. Quickly mounting on top and nearly falling head first I held the reins tightly and we slowly walked out the 'creatures stable' where some people have started to come and go. We went straight to the 'fountain centre' which I currently learnt as the 1st point out of three points which I have to cross to reach the Royal Palace.

So many creatures tied in different types of carriages awaiting in front of large fancy buildings which sort of connect each other at the roof, while some carriages crossing the road or ��flying' in a certain direction.

From my observation, the carriages or creatures carrying their owner from my side they go to the left black stoned pathway while the returning carriages come back from the right white stoned pathway.

'Similar to my country's system except it's all one way' everyone follows the same pathway but except for the petrol officers in red and black uniform similar to Mustaf's but his was all in black and with white winged pin.

I took out a small scroll and pulled it down which revealed the map of the royal city. The map showed the black road leading straight until it curves in a 'fountain drawing' and changes its color to a white one and turns left avoiding the big rectangle of another St. called as Lunar St.

For now this much was enough because I was blocking some carriages behind me while I was in my observant fiasco. Giving an awkward bow to the carriages behind me, I motioned Star to move forward.

The one thing I didn't noticed yesterday when I came was that the sky above the city has a sound of its own which is similar to a soft low and high whistle sounds. The weird sound enticed me in a way I can't describe.

I noticed that some different people were also shocked at the high and low sounds. If I was to describe, it would be similar to us being under water hearing soft echoes of dolphins and whales but much more ethereal than the real thing.

Some people with full blue eyes or black wearing scales as dresses and suits pass by the black pedestrian entering a slick metal looking building. While animal like people with their young ones coil their long tails with their children's tail as if like they were holding hands. My heart warmed at the sight, Star just kept on walking straight even when my hold on the reins loosen to look back at the parch scroll.

"We're nearing the 2nd point star" I softly whispered to myself but noticed that Star turned his head back a little.

An opened silver gate and another magnificent sight greeted me once again. The 2nd point was slightly different from the 1st point. It was clear that most of the important nobles in Drikun and other world would stay there. It was a little less crowded here then the 1st point but was still crowded or so to say. Some women roamed with bold attires while some literally covering every part of their body and I had to check at my dressing once again hoping it would be fine and it was because I was greeted by the guard stationed near the silver gate.

'They don't really care about dressing here do they? I can't understand why yesterday that slickVance asked about me wearing pants'

"My Lady can you please show me your identifier?" the guard bowed slightly his arms rising for me to place the card.

I placed the golden card on his palms. He inspected it carefully and gave it back with a bow again.

"May you have a good time Miss Veller"

"Thank you good Sir" I replied and entered the already opened gate.

The 2nd point fountain centre was an art. We would be mere statues if you compare it from a picture because the statues was too realistic looking they even have a glow in their body and faces. But 'mind you' the statues were naked as they stood proudly and majestically.

The first king of Drikun was on some sort of a small hill. His long white flowing hair as if stopped by time itself. He was holding the dainty sweet hands of his Queen from another world after the Fifth world's war (V WW) was over. From what I have read, he was a traveler and creationist similar to my father but much 'very much' more stronger then dad as he created the Drikun world by himself after unifying the ten worlds. Earth and one other world did not take part in the war. The previous four traveler family in earth was magically not greedy like other normal humans were during that period and now the traveler families have increased to seven 'the Vellers' were one of the four older family.

The four families easily agreed when the request came for the world unification personally visited by King Drikun himself. We the 'travelers' on earth was not close like the different beings in other worlds. We barely keep in contact with one another hence only very few important people know of us. We were similar to traders so to say and just shows up to sign the Peace Treaty.

King Drikun formed the Peace Treaty on the 1st of October 1720 (human calendar) the same day he married his love 'Princess Merlione' from the Merlin world. Making that day as the Royal Courting ceremony he gave an 'infinite bonding spell' that after every two decades the ten world with its nobles and selected few would come to the royal city along with their 'Travelers' and witness the peace treaty among all the travelers of ten worlds.

Why for six months? I researched that and found that the signing ceremony takes place for two days. The first day and the last day, as for the rest of the weekend rolling to months it was to support cross marriages like the king did. To let the fellow beings interested in knowing about another would be free to meet without any prejudices from either families and most marriages takes place during that certain year.

"Would you look at that? I never thought I'd see you here Miss C~" a familiar sly voice broke me out of my trance while I was staring at the statues of war and love.

I looked behind me, Star noticing my movement turned his body for me to face the dusky blonde man who was also mounted on his horse golden wings sparkle at top of his chest. If we were to measure our height it would be same mostly because of Star's height.

"It was an award of bravery" Karilf said with his natural soft voice as he followed my eyes to his winged pin.

"I didn't say anything"

"I know but just wanted to have a conversation with you~" his sly voice returned again, I rolled my eyes and motioned Star to the left direction to lead me out of the 2nd point. Karilf blocked my path but his horse did a scared motioned when Star grunted.

"Looks like our horses don't want to talk" I smirked to which he returned with a half grin, his golden cat like eyes smiling.

"Sir Abiner!!" someone called out from the gate. He turned his horse towards the person who was slightly out of breath.

"Your *hah* presence is requested in the 'Great hall' by Sir Kooper"

"Thank you Mr. Gally" Karilf looked back at me "Until we meet again Miss Veller" he gave warm smile unlike his character.

"Whatever you say Sir Abiner"

'No point in being rude when he did nothing wrong'

I huffed and moved forward without turning back.

In the 1st point there was only about four Streets for residential and the rest of the five streets were for business and different purposes which I would like to know and explore in the coming days.

In the 2nd point most of the Streets were residential and some private places.

We came to a stop upon reaching a golden gate but with red brick walls about 20 storey high with a strong defense charm unlike the 2nd point.

'Oh~ so the 3rd point is the Royal palace no wonder why the scroll didn't showed it because of the charm. The golden gate was closed, one exquisite carriage stop near the four scowling knights.

'Would love to know why some guards scowl all the time'

After stating their business they were asked to get out of the carriage 'to get into the palace' by one of the knights showing of the royal seal in his sword.

My stomach did a small grumble indicating of future consequences if not tended afterwards. A large man nearly 7 ft tall came out of the carriage. Long violet hair in a fish tailed braid reached to his waist (Is what I suspected) He was wearing a dark green scaled coat which drag behind him.

The knights bowed but they were kneeling at the man who gave a dangerous feeling in one's stomach.

I tilted my head to stretch some tired nerves of being on a horse for too long since the tiring journey yesterday and my knees kind of feel buttery in a very wrong way.

The man looked at the two knights, his ears like flappers revealed and I marveled silently at the sight. Another woman came out of the carriage his hand outstretched to the black haired lady with short horns she slowly placed her fingers then her palms on top of his.

I don't know what she looks like but I can tell she is one hell of a hot lady because just from the sight of her body all the others bystanders like me were erased by her presence. I can tell because I was not the only one going to the palace. There were other important nobles too behind me. And being the front row lucky customer I enjoyed the show in front as others behind 'Oo' and 'Ah' behind me.

The large man's face was clearly seen since he fully turned towards the ethereal black haired woman. There was a large scar descending down from his right cheek to the muscled chest. His very scary and stern face softens a little as the woman softly caresses his cheek, she stood nearly reaching his ear. They were the tallest and out of the world most intimidating couple I have ever seen in my entire two decades of boxed life.

The couple went inside and my turn came.

The knights scowling faces was no more to be seen as they were smiling like plants after a rainy season receiving sunlight in a long time.

They checked my identity and after giving a grand bow someone came and escorted Star away as I enter the Royal Palace.

A small side of the gate opened for me to enter.
