Princess Cari To The Stars Part Three
The Tickets
They soon woke up and ate their breakfast. Ryo and Cari were about to collect their money when Indral shook his head.
"There is a different payment method to buy off world tickets." He told them.
They soon nodded and followed them. It was only a fast but brief walk to the station. They noticed that the whole building was made of a lapiz lazuli coloured blue metal. Cari deduced, by that beauty, that it must have been made of shead dragon scales. It was in the shape of a cube with a bigger cube behind it. They looked at the glass doors, but when they looked closer at them they noticed that they were actually diamond doors!
They were soon greeted by a cloud of people, bumping into each other as they walked to and fro. In fact there were so many they could not help but push through many people as they came closer and closer to the ticket stand. They carefully had to navigate through the crowd, while keeping an eye out for each other. Making sure not to separate and not get crushed too. Yet they tried not to, but none of them could help but have to bag through one after the other.
So after being bagged and pushed around they finally arrived.
They had to take a deep breath in and out to help themselves calm down.
"Could I help you?" Asked a woman with a put on smile and tiredness in her grey eyes.
She had blond shoulder length hair with the top half toured back in a platt. She wore a silver dress and a single silver belt.
"Yes, Madam, I am Princess Cari Lu'Ellette and this is Prince Ryo Kizeru and Indral. We are here for a ticket to the planet Drage."
She looked down and plucked a hair from each of their heads. Then she placed one after another in a glass vial, where they all lit up, Ryo's lit up purple, Cari's lit up orange and Indral's scarlet. Then it spread out and became three crystals the width of a centimeter and the length of an inch. She then pulled them out and put them on a two gold wire, and gave the purple one to Ryo and the orange one to Cari and the last was put on a silver wire and given to Indral.
"Here are your tickets for the star vessel Star Touch. Enjoy and I hope that you have a safe journey." She said in a false present way.
"Thank you and I wish you to have a great day." Cari said as they turned back around.
They put on their tickets and looked back at the crowd. Knowing that they had no other option they walked back into the crowd. They walked on and on, but it seemed like there were more and more people from a moment ago.
Cari felt like she did not have room to breathe as she was constricted by the ever increasing crowd. Her head started to spin and spin as she felt the crowd become closer and closer to her. She knew that it was cruising her and her breath was becoming thinner and thinner. She gasped for more and more of the air but nothing could fill her lungs, which were struggling to expand. As she walked on she felt more and more hit her. Then she was knocked down. She tried to get back up as she had realised that she had lost sight of the other two.
She was knocked again and a hand grabbed her and pulled her up. The hand was masculine, yet slender, she could have sworn that she had seen the hand once before but she could not remember where. Yet it gripped her tightly and pulled her. Knowing that she had no other option, she decided to trust the hand to help her. He dragged her through the crowd, giving her no time to stop. He continued pulling her until they came out the other end.
She bent her legs and her head was bowed slightly as she panted, taking her time to gather her breath.
"Thank you!" She gasped.
"Don't." Spoke a very familiar voice.
Where have I heard that voice before?
Then she looked up and everything froze and seized up. Dark Master Lord Gejellidor Darcrogh was right in front of her! Her face drained of colour as she could not process who she was setting. Her heartbeat increased as she started swearing out of pure fear.
"G-G-" Was all she could get out of her lips.
She tried to take a step back but her body could do nothing but tremble. She knew that she had to get out of here but she could not. Her body no longer listened to her. Everything shook, even her breath. She felt years of frustration build in her eyes at her own helplessness.
At this he smirked. He then chuckled in a strange lyrical way. Even though it sounded pleasant it was laced with ice. He outstretched the hand that was gripping hers a moment ago. He reached over and as she looked at it getting closer and closer, all she could think about was what it had done to her. Yet even this could not get her to move! She flinched as it rested on her head.
"Do not fear child! I see that you are no longer a threat." He cooed.
"Th-th-then wh-wh-"
"Why am I here?"
"Well! I'm here just to see you off and to meet a nuisance stone of mine. I heard he is in town." He said, glancing at her. "Well now that I am here I might as well wish you luck."
He then lowered his hand and pulled her arm up. He ruled up the sleeve revealing the scar that he engraved into it. He stroked it slowly and kissed it. He then leaned in close.
"I will see you whenever you need to be reminded about who really has the power." He said, letting her go.
He then turned.
"You take care now!" He sang as he walked away and disappeared into the crowd.
She collapsed onto the floor. She could not stop herself from shaking. She cocked upon controlling her breath.
"Cari!" Ryo shouted.
She snapped out of it.
"Are you alright?"
She shook her head. She dared not speak.
"Why? We lost you. What happened?"
"G-G-Gajellidor."
"Here?"
She noted.
"Did he do anything?"
"No. Nothing painful."
He picked her up.
"Come on, we need to get you back to the hotel." He said, carrying her.
