Garlox quest

chapter 31: Distance far ahead.

'W-where am I?' Queenly tried to get up, but her head was pounding. She tried to lean on her knees, but a bright flash in her head knocked her back. 'Miss blonde hair? Feel sick? Like Mex?' She didn't even bother to reply, and just layed there on the floor. Her head was spinning, and somewhere lights were flickering brightly. 'I do explain.' February pulled a mysterious looking lever, and the room was filled with a pure looking white color. 'We at centre. You not must toch thing!! Any will go boom.' Queenly wasn't even bothered by her pounding head anymore, hearing February's voice made her feel even worse. 'Soo.. will you take me back?' She sat up, and suddenly she remembered why she was teleported in the first place. 'WHERE ARE WE?!' A chill ran down February's spine. 'I ask pleasely. W-will explain!' Queenly didn't had the time to listen, she had to go back to the castle. She quickly pulled her lance close, and got ready to fight. But when she looked outside the only window she could see, she froze. 'W-what?' 'Question answer is yes.' February sat down in a rather comfortable looking chair. It was in the middle of the room, looking out of the window. 'That blue is earth. Is small from here! This used my place to be... had to over take when January  did goodbye. Spent much hours in orb side. Many sad was been here.' She pulled the remote control from the chair, and pointed it at a nearby TV.  At first static appeared, but soon enough an elf looking man could be seen. He looked well groomed, and very charming. 'Hello? Welcome to the S.S pioneers! I will be you host for today, January. If you are a fairy, please focus yourself on the message stone on top of this TV.  If you're not, please allow me to explain.' Queenly didn't seem to pay much attention to the video, she was aimlessly looking for an exit. 'Before we continue, we are currently in space.  Far away from Farylium. This is because we want to see every last bit of the earth. With the controls you can move left to right, or up and down. But we're in a fixed distance away from earth..' February was mouthing every word her brother said. She seemed highly impressed. 'Please notice that everything here is build for human research only. On the left side you can enrich yourself with specimen taken from earth. On the right you have a translator. Mind that it's not for words, but for emotion. Unlike our world, humans tend to lie about their feelings. There are over a million reasons why. So to fully understand them, please make use of the device on the right. I hope that this video will explain most of the jobs that can be done while on the S.S Pioneers. Goodbye!' When she couldn't find an exit, she decided to talk to February once more. She seemed to be happily staring at the now static TV. 'That was your brother, huh?' While keeping her focus on the TV, she nodded. 'I missing him ever day and night since..' 'personally, I don't understand the need for affection from family. You choose your allies, however.. you cannot decide your family. You're stuck with them without having the slightest choice.' As she said those words, he grip on the lance tightened.

The Pannack village was nearly empty. When all the guards were asked to head back to castle, many people followed. This was the perfect time for Lynch to head to Dernudist. He pulled his robe far over his head, so no one could recognise him. 'This is crazy. I should leave while I can..' He became more aggressive when he realised that going back was no option. 'That filthy doppelganger.. I should have said no!' The more angry he felt, the more his power started to grow. He tried to calm down, as too much power would result in a transformation. 'Right, the map. It would be wise to check where I was going.' Lynch pulled the map out of the bag he was given by the chubby guard. It was a small map that showed the border between Dernudist, Cheopia and Pannack. A red arrow was pointing in the direction he should walk. 'Excellent.' As he was on his way to resume his journey to Dernudist, he was stopped by a young boy. He had his thumb inside his mouth, and carried a sloppy looking stuffed bear in his other hand. 'Are you dead?' Lynch tried to ignore the child, but before he knew it, the child had grabbed Lynch's cape. 'Are you dead, sir?' The kid pulled his cape, resulting in Lynch showing his face. 'Inside, yes.' The kid tilted his head slightly, and stared at him with big round eyes. 'I don't have time for this, I should be goi-' The child pulled Lynch's cape once more. 'Sir? Did you kill my mommy?' Lynch clenched his fist, and used his boots to levitate from the ground. His eyes turned blood red, and his hair slowly started to rise. 'I could be that very killer. What would you do? If you faced that killer right now? You're young, and harmless, YOU'D BE DEAD WHERE YOU'D STAND!' Lynch tried to intimidate the child. But it didn't seem to work. The child did nothing but cry out loud. 'I-I miss my.. Mommy!' Somewhere, deep down, Lynch felt his heart being broken. 'It seems that loved and stupidity go hand in hand here. Say, kid. Where is your father?' He was still sucking on his thumb, and shrugged. 'Would you like to come with me?'

'Ohh. This doesn't seem good..' Felma was rocking back and forth whilst holding Lisai's head. I feel.. a lot of dark powers... but.. yes.. yes.. somewhere deep down.. there is a small girl..' the inspector's eyes widen as she said so. 'If that's the case.. Mex really still is alive.. and this is is sister! Can you cure her?' He seemed as enthusiastic as ever when he was going to crack a little bit of this case. 'It will be.. hard.. Kathlyn, please hand me those stones. And let the curing be set in progress!' Kathlyn nodded, and on her bare feet she ran over to the lake to collect some stones. 'Do you need us for anything?' Gantius awkwardly scratched his head. 'No dear, this will be enough. Please try to protect the people outside. You're of no use here. Please come see us first thing tomorrow.' The inspector was already half way out of the door. 'Will do, g'day.' 'Wait! Inspector! Let me come along!' Gantius ran after the inspector as he was leaving the temple. He tapped the  inspector on his back. 'Can I.. come along?' The inspector raised and eyebrow, as he pulled a cigarette out of his coat. 'Why would you do that?' 'Mex was my friend as well! I can't bare the thought of him leaving here angry, and dying the next day! I have to make up to him.' The inspector rubbed his chin, and nodded. 'Well you are one of the witnesses to see him last.. I suppose I can make good use of your presence.' He offered his hand to Gantius. 'Welcome aboard! I'm a freelancer, so I can't give you much. But it's all well appreciated.' Gantius stared at his hand, and shook it. 'It's a pleasure to be!'
