All they could was stare, stare in magnificence. A tall, bold figure dressed in Purple was holding a specimen, it'd turned the moment the door opened.
This was the second sudden meeting of them, the third for Detretran, and the first for this marvelous figure. When it's awe wore away, the lengthened figure spoke.
"Ahhh, Myaostha, Sententra, Gertci, Couma-ret, Tububig, and Uldefyn. It is so pleasant to see you all here, even so suddenly." Its voice was smooth, slow, lacking any existence of spite or malice. Passive and innocent.
"Minya-toryaashe!" Myaostha spoke more formally to this Minya. "Alya! It is very, very fortunate that we have met you."
Then Myaostha and the other Toyus shifted past Deteretran and Letertan and came to Minya and hugged together under her.
"Oh dear, Toryaashe." Said Sententra proudly. "It is so good that you appeared unharmed.
"Toryaashe. Oh blessed Minya." Pleaded Gertci. "Have you encountered anything dangerous? Was the voyage perilous?"
"Toryaashe, Toryaashe." Couma-ret praised softly. "Great merciful Minya."
Tububig and Uldefyn simply held tightly to Minya's gown, the tightest hold of them all.
Detretran and Letretan just watched. What is this kind of dedication? They both thought. They wanted the answer and one took the chance.
Letertan stepped forward. "You whose name is Minya, who are you?"
Minya looked down. "I, I'm their toryaashe, their leader. You must be the natives to this land."
"We are, I'm the leader of my people, Letertan."
"Letertan, name of you or your people."
''Name of myself, sorry."
"And whom is this."
"My son, Detretran."
"Detretran, Letertan. Alike they are."
"We are family, it is a tradition."
"Minya, what have you been doing in here?" Asked Myaostha.
"I've been examining the many things here, fascinating and particular and wonderful they are. Here was the item I was most recently looking at."
She held it up for everyone to see.
"No! Put that down!" Letretan shouted. His listener was confused and he quickly added. "That container is harmful, it contains poison."
"Ahhhh, I apologize for the misunderstanding." And Minya put it back gently.
"Now that we have that settled, Letertan said. "Why are you here? Your fellows said they're only be a few more, which was them."
"Oh that," Sentreta said. "Hadn't been fro Uldefyn, I meant to add that it was three AND Minya coming too."
"Why is the ''Toryaashee" in here."
"Father, you must remember that Myaostha and possibly the others can teleport." Detretran reminded.
"Yes thank you. And I've also remembered why you all must be here, to attempt a takeover?"
"Absolutely not." Denied Minya. "You think we'd 'invade' your nation for our own benefit. When we ourselves have actually experienced a real invasion."
"Yes, your Myaostha said something similar. But I sense that this desperate coming is for the worse of us."
"Father..."
"Well, I guess I must do some necessary action to convince you."
"You dare battle with the-"
Minya moved an arm, almost body's length, in her was an oval-shaped, pink object.
"Father!"
"What is THAT!" Said Letretan, stanced to strike.
"It is an Alilido."
"Alilido?" He found the name very obsturd. "This is stupid trick, isn't it?"
"Quite the contrary, the Alildo is very essencial to us. It allows us to teleport."
"How?" Asked Letretan grimacely.
"How does it function, I Do want to know." Said Detretran.
"Honestly, we don't know the underlying mechanisms within. But the outside knowledge is this: Gertci..."
"First, you must hold the Alilido very tightly in your grasp. Using two hands is the easiest hold. Secondly, use one of your fingers and touch the middle gently. Thirdly, turn your mind away from all disrupting events."
"Then what?" Letretan took note of Gertci's pause.
"It's difficult to describe to you. You wouldn't properly understand.''
"I can withstand the information I've seen my own people die in front me.''
"I have a helpful idea." Minya suggested. "You two, father and son, can use-" She pulled out another Alilido. "-Use these Alilidos to travel and learn to our own nation and culture."
"Are you serious!?" Yelled Letretan.
"Minya," And even Detretran was skeptical of the Toyu's plan. "We don't even know how to travel or furthermore what this traveling is like."
"Of course, which is why I'll employ Myaostha to help guide you two. You accept Myaostha?"
"I gladly do."
"Splendid."
"Alos, Myaostha!" Said Sentrara and Gertci.
"Stay unharmed." Advised Couma-ret.
"Have an amazing voyage, you'll both love it!" Tububig cheered
"It'll be better than ours." Cheered Ulfedyn too.
"Alos, Minya-toryaasshe." Farewelled Myaostha. "Hope you'll find our culture interesting."
"Alos, let us hope we both are in good condition.''
And they hugged, for one last moment of comfort. Then detached slowly.
Detretran, Letertan, and Myaostha huddled in a group and held their Alilidos by their chest.
"Why is yours green Myaostha? Detretran asked.
"It's simple customization. Now lets move."
They touched, They grasped, they focused.
