CHAPTER 22,
THE ROYAL PRINCE OF TITAN
TIME SET:Present, 2023
The Domo✦ · · · · ──────────── · · · · ✦
THE DOMO FREELY floats within space, which completely contrasts the amount of anxiety that has been flooding through Reyna and Makkari's body in the past few weeks. An agreement had been made in which they are meant to consistently check on each other to ensure that nothing has happened to them. However, recently, it seems like three of them have fallen off of the face of the Earth to the point where not even Phastos' technology can pick up any of their signals on the globe.
Reyna currently sits beside the same glass window that holds all of the beautiful plants behind the pane. Her back is resting against Druig's chest as his arms remain loosely snaked around her waist, holding her close to his body. Unknowingly, Reyna has found that a new habit of hers consists of playing with the bead bracelets wrapped around Druig's wrist. Druig had caught onto this habit fairly quickly, but he still hasn't said anything because he knows that Reyna will just feel embarrassed — though, he doesn't think that she should feel that way.
"Arishem may have taken them." Thena states. "We have to go back."
Before any of the three can reply, Thena casts her gaze towards the empty hallway as her weapons are suddenly drawn and glow in the hold of her hands. Reyna pushes herself out of Druig's arms as she rises up to her feet within an instance, cautiously walking over to where Thena and Makkari are now standing. This causes Druig to become slightly concerned by their actions, confused as to what has just suddenly grabbed their attention. However, not a single one of the three women answer his questions and continue to slowly walk forwards with caution.
Distorted screams echo from deep within the long and narrow hallway. Flashes of bright and vibrant lights can be seen trying to emerge. All of a sudden, a burst of light is emitted where a figure falls through the portal and hits the ground with a loud thud. They have scruffy ginger hair and pointy ears, along with a green suit that is worn on their body. A large cup is held in the grasp of their hand, splashing heat from within due to the liquid contents being shaken. This appearance only causes Druig to rise to his feet too where he then edges towards Reyna as a protective instinct begins to flood through his body.
"My ears! My eyes are numb." The troll exclaims with a groan. "No more drunk teleporting for you."
"Um—" Thena begins.
"Hang on." The troll interrupts.
Noises begins to come out of the troll's mouth as he tries to imitate the sound of music, only coming out slurred due to how drunk he currently is. While this is happening, more beams of light can be seen from further down the hallway, this time appearing to be more at ease rather than sporadic. A tall figure soon emerges from the portal, wearing a red and silver coloured suit with gold accents on it. Hair is a dark shade of red and has been sliced back. A smile has been spread across his face, showing off the dimple that he has on his cheeks.
"Behold, the royal prince of Titan, brother of Thanos..." The troll begins.
"Brother of Thanos?" Makkari repeats with her eyes wide in shock.
"... The Knave of Hearts, and defeater of Black Robert—" The troll continues.
"Roger." The man corrects.
"Oh, sorry." The troll apologises. "Defeater of Black Roger. The great adventurer, Starfox of Mystery Planet!"
"What a pleasure to make your acquaintance, my fellow Eternals." Starfox greets before glancing down at the troll. "You know, you really don't have to do the whole thing but very time."
"Everything you do is impressive!" The troll argues.
"No, I know it's impressive." Starfox agrees.
"What am I gonna leave off the list?" The troll hisses.
"Who are you?" Thena asks, interrupting the pairs argument.
"I'm Eros. This is Pip." Starfox replies. "And you are as beautiful as legends say, Thena."
"Look at you." Reyna teases while she nudges the woman's arm. "You've yourself an admirer."
"What do you want, lads?" Druig asks.
"Pip and I are here to help." Starfox informs while glancing down at the troll. "Aren't we?"
Pip merely burps in response, which causes Reyna to then grimace in response. However, her attention is soon pulled back to Eros as a small golden sphere is now seen hovering above the palm of his hand. The light emitting from the globe continuously flashes. Reyna's brows furrow together while she focuses her gaze onto the piece of technology where she finds herself inspecting it from afar. Eros simply lets out a heavy breath as he judges the light fading in and out of the sphere.
"Your friends are in big trouble." Eros states. "And we know where to find them."
