Sometimes insanity is the only option

Pretória

With a renewed sense of purpose, I continued on my journey towards Pretória, one of the lands where vampire's live . As I ventured forth, I relied on my flying magic to cover great distances swiftly and efficiently.

Flying magic does not consume too much of my mana reserves anymore, I guess as I am now I could fly for 3 hours at a maximum speed of 500km/h, not that I pretend to test it out.

My destination was the teleport-order, known for its intricate network of teleport portals. These portals allowed travelers to traverse vast distances in an instant, saving both time and energy. It was my hope that I could find a teleport portal in Mérida that would transport me directly to Pretória.

After hours of flying, I finally reached the teleport-order of Mérida, a land of lush forests and enchanting rivers. It was a sight to behold, and the presence of magic permeated the air. As I descended towards the city, I noticed the distinct shimmering glow of teleport portals scattered throughout the landscape.

Navigating through the city streets, I inquired about the location of the teleport portals that could lead me to Pretória. The locals, with their friendly demeanor, pointed me towards the central teleportation hub, a place bustling with travelers and magic practitioners from all walks of life.

As I approached the hub, I could feel the hum of
energy in the air. The teleport portals were arranged in a circular formation, each glowing with its unique signature hue. The magic-infused atmosphere filled me with a sense of anticipation, knowing that soon I would be on my way to Pretória.

I walked up to the information desk, where a helpful attendant greeted me with a warm smile. "How may I assist you today?" she asked.

"I seek passage to Pretória," I replied, my voice steady and determined. "Do you have any teleport portals that can take me there?"

The attendant nodded, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "Indeed, we have a portal that can transport you directly to Pretória. It's right through that blue-glowing portal over there," she said, pointing towards a shimmering archway radiating a cool azure light.

"The cost of utilizing the portal will be 6 gold rupi coins. Usually, the price would be half of what it currently is, but due to the ongoing war situation, prices have risen." Says the attendant.

I then took my platinum card (card of royalty) from my spatial ring and gave the card to the attendant.

After showing my card to the attendant, she became quite flustered; after all the card that I gave her makes her aware that I'm royalty and makes me able to pass the portals without paying, guess this is one of the perks of being royalty.

I take of my distortion magic, I would need to do it either way, before I enter the portal, it is necessary to verify our identity via a magical machine.

"I!- I did not know I was talking to prince Raphael forgive my somewhat blunt way of speaking." The attendant says flustered.

"There's no need for that, I may be a prince but I'm a person just like you." I say with a smile.

"With your permission, you may place your hand here"

I guess I just put my hand on this magic board and it verifies my identity.

"It's done, thank you very much for using our services" The attendant says flustered.

"Thank you for attending me" I say with a smile.
