The Boondocks~Medieval Times

15) In & Out

~•~

Everyone wows in awe.

Inside there are beautiful manicured gardens of all bright colours, all paths people walk on are made by gold tiles. Colourful birds whistle in perfect harmony as they fly above their heads. Beyond the tiles and gardens is a beach of white sand at the foot of the ocean. Horses, only colours of clean, shiny chestnut and white trot the areas with their riders, showing off beautiful manes.

The people! Most are half nude, having only pieces of clothing covering them. Normally, this would be a terrible sight in Crestwood, but not here, nearly all these people are attractive. Most people walk in groups. A man would be led by women, or a woman would be led by men. That seemed to look like a rule. It was everyone except for young children who chose to go alone or walk in groups...and they wore more clothing.

"Wow...what a land," Ming says, eyeing the beautiful groomed horses.

The redhead nods, literally everyone had forgotten the womens' names, but it would obviously be rude to mention.

"Thank you for bringing us here, we will be well on our own," Huey says. The redhead pouts and let's go of his arm. "If you say so. Bye now, enjoy Vana-leenah." The women wave and walk away.

"Everybody, huddle up," Huey says. The group does as said and huddle in a circle. "The palace seems to only be a few paths from here. I believe it is better that not all of us go at once."

"You want us to separate?"

"It is only a suggestion. Do you not think people will find us suspicious? Last I checked, people vacated in different areas and lands, not realms."

Caesar chuckles. "No offence to the citizens, but everyone here seems air headed."

"Do not underestimate these beings. Some are human, yes, but there could be something more powerful ahead."

Riley says, "I think Huey and I should go."

Caesar frowns. "What about me?!"

"Have you not seen that people are led here by opposite sexes? You must stay with Jazmine and Ming. Cynthia shall come with us."

"Fine..."

"Stay near the gate incase we must escape quickly," Huey instructs, "I am serious. We will be in and out."

The princesses nod and Caesar rolls his eyes. They watch as the trio leave and are soon left in the crowd of strangers. Jazmine frowns. "What now?"

"Let us tour!"

"Do you even have a plan?" Cynthia asks Huey.

Huey shrugs. "My brain is still working on that part. Just leave me be." Cynthia sighs and looks over at Riley who still admires the rich city. A group of girls led by a man catch his eye. He winks at them and they giggle. Cynthia rolls her eyes and he sees this. "Do you have an eye infection, or are you jealous?" He bounces his eyebrows.

Cynthia scoffs. "Jealous of what?"

"I understand, Cynthia. Not everyone can resist the Reez."

Cynthia laughs. "The Reez? What in gods name is that?"

"My name, obviously. A name that attracts all."

Huey chokes in a laugh and Riley glares at him. Riley's about to say something when Huey covers his mouth. "Shush!" He peeks around the corner and sees two guards standing at the ends of the short stairs that lead to the palace doors.
