A knock was heard from the other side of the door which was answered by a firm voice that broke the eerie silence.

"You may come in."

The door slowly swings open, revealing a royal guard. He cautiously steps inside the room then bowed in a form of respect in front of the man sitting on the throne.

"...Well?" Cold eyes stare at the guard who uncomfortably shifted on his place. Cold sweat started rolling down his face as he swallowed thickly before answering in a quivering voice.

"W-We couldn't catch her in time. She was already past the gate before it could block her escape, S-sire..." he slowly explained, not daring to take a glance at the man in front.

The man growled through gritted teeth which made the guard cower in fear. The butler in the corner who kept silent while watching the scene gave him a look of concern which the man took notice and returned with a sigh.

"You may go," he says while waving his hand in dismissal, the guard gratefully obeyed and quickly made his way through the door, not wasting any time to get out of the throne room. The man massages his temple in attempt to ease his frustration and sighed once more. "What am I going to do with her?" he says as he glances at the butler with black hair and red orbs who only chuckled.

"S-star?! Is that really you?"

"Sure am, gurlfriend!!"

"I didn't really expect to see you so soon..."

"So how did the travel go?" She asks with amusement and slight concern, noticing how messy you look like.

"Smooth."

The look on your face tells Star it wasn't.

"But.." You paused, then smiled to yourself while scratching your nape.

"It wasn't all that bad."

30 minutes earlier..

A portal magically appears in the middle of a bustling street of a city. Your head protrudes from it and you were greeted by tall structures that gleamed under the sun's rays as they towered over you. So those are buildings.

"Look, Mommy!"

You shift your gaze and find a child holding his mother's hand. A few other people in suits were with them, staring at you. You expected them to be utterly shocked and confused, maybe some going wowzah, but n O. They all started walking past you, occasionally whispering stuff like "Weird" or "Ignore her". You could've sworn you also heard " Damn cosplayers"

A honk disrupted your state of confusion followed by a few more.

"Get out of the road, kid!!"

"M-my apologies!" You quickly uttered then slipped into another portal.

You were met by a new scenery, the buildings now replaced by hills. You were currently at the foot of a hill and you, being the curious one you are, climbed it.

Once you reached the top, as if on cue, a gust of wind blew making the scene before you truly a sight to behold. Petals flew and swayed with the wind, as if dancing, adorning the field of flowers. They were already in bloom, the soft color of pink complementing the greenery. You felt nostalgic.
