The Forever Crystal

Arrival

The next morning we collect our stuff and eat breakfast. Before we leave I ask Bratus, "Hey who's that Lora girl you were talking about yesterday?"

"Lora is Christian's best friends, besides me of course. She left to hunt a dragon the was terrorizing the citizens of the north. She hasn't returned yet so Christian is slowly starting to worry about her, he asked Queen Olivia if he can send a squad to look for them. Queen Olivia denied the request, she said to give them a few more months."

"Wow, I had no idea."

"Yeah, Christian loves her like a sister."

"That's sweet, I hope she comes back."

"So does Christian."

"Are you ready to go Jada?" Garih asks and I nod my head.

"Bye Bratus it was great meeting you." I say.

"Bye Jada. Don't hesitate to come back, I'll probably be here for a long while." He laughs and I smile.

"Are right see ya Bratus." Christian says.

"Bye Christian, don't get in any trouble with out me!" He yells.

"No promises!" Christian laughs.

"Farewell Bratus, next time I see you, you better be prepared to pay me back."

"That's heart warming Garih, I think I'm gonna miss you the most of all." Bratus fake cries.

"Oh shut up." Garih says sharply.

We walk on out of the forest and see nothing but mountains, why do I have to do this again?!?
*************

We finally get to Rajia, "Do my eyes deceive me! Have we truly made it?!?" I cry with tears of joy.

"Yes Jada, we have made it to Rajia." Garih answers seriously.

"Oh thank goodness, I don't think my legs could have taken much longer." I exclaim.

We walk in the village and I see many kids playing around, but they look different. I look to the citizens, some look like humans but some look like a mixture of animal and human. I see a man with claws for hands it was spectacular! I then see people of different colors, not like black or white but green, red, orange, blue. Why would anyone want to destroy this place? I look to the vehicles, they're horses and carriages. Other than that, it looked like a regular city but the houses were closer. Also, there were no corporations buildings.

"Jada we will be staying at a cabin for the rest of the day." Garih says.

"What about Queen Olivia." I ask.

"You need to freshen up before you present yourself." Garih explains. I look down at my outfit and it's covered in dirt.

"Yeah you're right, can I buy a new outfit here?" I ask.

"I suppose so, Christian will accompany you, while I take care of some business." Garih says.

"Wait! What? Why me." Christian cries.

"Because you're her protector too." Garih says, walking away out of our sight.

"Come on Christian take me to a store." I say.

Christian walks in front of me and guides me to a store. We get there and Christian stops me by the wrist.

"Look Jada, the stores here are different from the mortal world. Just don't look at the other customers just talk to the helpers. I can't go in there with you in there so just be normal."
