Leora - hidden light

Chapter five

I am not sure how long I've been on this cruise but when I wake up I've reached a port. The enormous ship has come to a halt in the most beautiful city I've ever seen. Dark gorgeous backdrop, night markets with fairy lights all around them. Yes, I mean literal fairies and lamps that bring warm light placed around the vicinity. Street lamps shine bright with a pink hue. So many markets and shops and little houses on this dock.

"You're Leora. Oh my God. These bastards actually did it." I hear the voice coming from the right of me. Long, striking white hair, pale skin, blue eyes to match her bluish violet dress. What is this land and why is it already so much better than Thestronia?

"Why do you look impressed?" She asks me, raising her eyebrows and giving me a smile.

"Yeah, you're shoes are so cool." I say as I stare at her tall heels, with strings that go up to her knee with shiny butterflies on them. Okay, I'm drooling at my enemy's fashion sense.

"Wow. Uh didn't expect you to be this way." She says to me.

"Is her head okay?" She whispers quickly to Adonis.

"No." He replies seriously.

We walked over to a carriage that is driven by horses with horns. They have such a variety here.

The ride was not that long, accompanied by the constant chatter of Gervic and Adonis. Gervic asks him something stupid, Adonis tells him that his questions are stupid. And of course, Laylea. She told me her name in the overly occupied cab.

The castle seemed to disguise itself on the outside because the inside does not match the outside at all.

"You need to go change into a nice dress before meeting Her majesty." Laylea says to me.

A nice dress sure. Her majesty sure. The one who kidnapped me.

"Don't be late. This is not your dreamy fairyland so you better stop that daydreaming." Adonis directs his rough voice to me. Hearing his voice out of the blue almost startled me.

"This place sure seems like fairy land to me. And don't order me around like you're the king." I turn around and follw Laylea to go bath and change. Adonis is probably jealous that I'm better than him at combat (I have no idea of his level of combat but still)

The dressing room was by far the most lighted up place in this land. Mirrors taller than me that has lights all around it, and several rows of dark clothing.

I chose to wear a floor length black lacy gown and black lacy gloves that goes down to my wrist. My long golden hair is braided and put into an elegant bun and finally I was instructed to put on a black fur cloak that drags behind me.
