Several minutes, perhaps an hour or two, passed by. I observe the surroundings changing from the window. We've been surrounded by a field with crystal glowing roads that take us one way or another. The wolves- Morphans are taking us somewhere and I don't know where. I fight every fibre of my body from withdrawing my knife and going berserk. Why am I feeling so defensive and physical lately? Is it from the unfamiliarity in this world? Is it from the recent bad attack? I tried to remember who tried to kill me, but there were too many. A long tired exhale leaves my mouth as I force myself to lie back, trying to relax. As the world strolls by, I can see Ivelisse becoming antsier. She keeps looking out the window and back to looking straight ahead. She bounces with so many nerves like a dang kid. I will not be surprised if she launches upward and bonks her head on the ceiling.

"Ivelisse, you got to pee or something?" I imply.

"It's just we are gettin' close," Ivelisse answers excitedly.

"Where are we headed then?"

"Gaeriscelleh, a territory t'at's so beautiful. I t'ink you'll love it, Nao!"

"Okay, but can you please settle down?" I beg, "The amount of energy you're bouncing around is scary. Before this, you were tired as heck. You are now a bubbly kid that had five juice pops."

"I 'aven't 'ad a juice pop in quite a w'ile," she states, "You got me cravin' for one."

"No!" I told her off, "One more juice pop and the knights will think someone is dying."

She breaks into laughter. I am making this situation worse... I might have to use duct tape for desperate measures. On second thought, maybe a juice pop will settle her down? She's too hyper to be labelled as an adult in this world. In fact, where the heck were they in my life?

I sigh. "Ivelisse, can you please stop bouncing around before you turn into a pinball machine?" I go. A Pinball Ivelisse going everywhere with a Ding-Ding-Ding! Jackpot! What an absolute nightmare...

"Okay!" She cheerfully listens and stops bouncing. Her leg is still hopping as she tries to contain her energy within herself. It's less chaotic than she was before.

Shadows darken our carrier as we pass the trees, into the forest ahead. The trees are glowing, decorated with glowing diamond lamps that emit a gentle fluorescent light. Every other tree has different kinds of fruits. One reminds me of dragon fruit from home. Others can possibly be berries from this world because I really don't know.

The carriage stops and the door opens without anyone touching it. Ivelisse and I got out. There are no doves or white birds flying from our entrance. Ivelisse smiles as my mouth drops in awe at the sight of it. fairiess, both pixie, and human size. The houses are colourful and made of quartz-like stone. Vines and lily buds give the buildings a lively look. I observe the glowing path and I see magic floating around there. There are no street lights; illuminated trees and paths give a calming glow. There is starlight entering through the trees, but everything is mostly in the shade.

"T'e lig'ts change colour," Ivelisse whispers to me, adding to my admiration.

A small inhale through my nose calms me down. The scent of sweets and fruits is in the air. fairies and pixies look at us since the knights are around us. I am sure one thing is going on in their minds: We are in trouble.

Fairies are both men and women. Their wings' colour and types are formed by magic, sprouting out of their backs. Their skin colour reminds me of when a unicorn vomits all over. One will be pink skin, purple hair, with bright pink wings. The other will be green, leafy colour hair, and neon green wings. Many other colours too. No colour is common and no colour is too rare in the villagers. They are very beautiful and I am sure they are highly intelligent too. Their clothing is a mixture of elven and mage styles. They also have pointy ears and flower-style eyes.
