Girkie

Evelin looked down for a moment.

"Indeed she is just like her father. Why are they both so stubborn?"

She mumbled then raised her head.

There was no bitterness in her eyes instead she was feeling proud.

"Even though you are being so stubborn....this is still better than seeing my lovely daughter sick all the time."

Evelin told Rin with slightly wet eyes.

"Let's rest. There is a long trip ahead of us."

Evelin advised Rin as she also got up and turned to join Ron in their room.

"I love you."

Rin mumbled lightly.

Evelin who was leaving the room stopped for a second and smiled.

She was a half-vampire so how could she miss such lovely words spoken by her daughter.

After which Evelin left the room.

Rin likewise went to bed and slept.

There was no nightmare. Rin wasn't chased around by a King Kong sized Cupid who ran after her with a huge arrow loaded in his bow and aimed at her back. Thus this was her first sound sleep in this world.

The next morning.

"Wake up honey."

Rin could hear her mother's voice entering her ears as she was still half asleep.

Her eyes fluttered open as Evelin's voice kept on getting louder and louder till it was like the piercing sound of an alarm that Rin hated.

"Get ready. We will be leaving for the Gei Kingdom soon."

Rin was told about their departure as she had forgotten about the trip to the Asgard academy in the kingdom of Aztlan.

"I need to get ready."

Rin mumbled but her body said otherwise as she had it hard to get out of her cozy bed.

'Five more minutes...'

Rin thought as she fell asleep again.

Evelin and Ron who were already prepared to leave for the Gei Kingdom entered Rin's room.

"Rin..."

Ron said right after entering her room just to be shushed by Evelin's hand that grabbed his mouth shut.

They both saw Rin sleeping calmly on her bed and smiled.

Ron went over to her bed and gently placed Rin on his broad back. After which, they left their house.

'Mhmm.'

Rin howled while sleeping. It was her werewolf blood that was crying inside her body as she felt the cold air breeze hitting her face.

'Is this a dream too?'

Rin wondered as she enjoyed the morning air.

She felt as if she was taking a walk in a park with her parents. Time after time she would discern Ron and Evelin talking but she couldn't hear what they were talking about.

Rin was still half asleep when suddenly she opened her eyes.

"Adorable"

Rin saw Evelin's face who was running alongside Ron and unconsciously praised her beauty.

"Honey are you awake?"

Evelin questioned with a smile as she looked at Rin's yawning face.

Ron and Evelin both slowed down.

"Is this a forest?"

Rin questioned while getting off her father's back.

"Yes, it's the forest surrounding the Gei Kingdom. Soon we will enter the Kingdom."

Evelin told Rin as they had already stepped on the land of the Eden Continent.

They were close to one of the most outskirt Kingdom of the Eden Continent, the Gei Kingdom.

"Will we go to the Kingdom of Aztlan like this?"

Rin looked down towards the legs of her parents and asked.

She knew that her parents were extraordinary individuals but she was still thirteen if they hadn't forgotten about it.

"No sweety."

"We will take a ride to the Kingdom of Aztlan from here, Gei Kingdom."

Evelin declined Rin's assumption while Ron told her the case.

"So this is why we are going to the Gei Kingdom first."

Rin speculated.

'What kind of ride will we be getting though?'

Rin wondered as many different luxurious cars passed through her mind.

'Or maybe in a train?'

'Can there be planes in this World too?'

She had many questions regarding the 'ride' but she didn't ask them as her father gently put her on his back again.

"Let's Go."

Ron said as Rin tightly hugged her from the back.

'Boom.'

Ron jumped with Rin on his back.

Rin was astonished as she looked down while Ron kept on going up and up.

'Is this still 'jumping'? Or is he flying?'

Rin wondered as the trees on the ground kept on shrinking.

To her astonishment, Evelin was also right beside them in the air.

Bang!

Everything that goes up, comes down eventually. The same thing happened to Ron and Evelin as they landed on the ground.

'Phew'

Rin breathed a sigh of relief but right after she sighed, Ron ran for a while before jumping again with Evelin.

After a while of these supernatural jumping jacks, Rin could see the walls of the Gei Kingdom.

Right between the wall, there was a bronze metallic door that was being patrolled by two guards.

"Let's go slow from here."

Ron told Evelin as they both slowed down.

A minute later, Rin finally entered the Gei Kingdom while chilling on her father's back.

'It was a fun journey.'

Rin thought while looking around.

She could see tall buildings and a big market right after passing through the entrance.

"This is the Gei Kingdom."

Ron informed her as he started walking ahead.

'I can see that too. Thank you.'

"This is your first time here but unfortunately we don't have much time to sightsee here."

Evelin told Rin with an unhappy face.

"Take the best ride of your life. Right here. Yes Sir. I will take you to your destination for just a single copper coin. LesGooo."

A man was doing something similar to a basic attraction while standing next to a carriage.

"Is that an ostrich?"

Rin asked in a stunned state.

There was a beast that was supposed to be one pulling the carriage. Rin found it quite similar to an ostrich as the beast had a long shaved neck and two long legs but she couldn't see its face as the beast's neck was slightly turned towards the other side of the carriage thus it was looking away.

"Ostrich?"

"What's that?"

Ron and Evelin asked Rin as they looked at her.

"Haha."

Rin smiled awkwardly as she pretended like she couldn't hear them.

Ron put her down gently as he walked towards the man who was still shouting.

"Take us to the port."

Ron told the man as he motioned at Evelin and Rin to get in the carriage.

"Grugrugru."

The beast straightened its neck and rotated its face to look at the passengers as it opened its mouth while making weird toad noises.

"Well well well, my Girkie is quite excited. Please enter the carriage. I will take you to the port in under 30 minutes."

The man said as he jumped on his girkie's furry back.

A bird's body with a toad face.

"Heavens."

Rin felt bizarre as she had never seen such horror before.
