I'VE NEVER SEEN THE DARKEST HORSE IN THE WORLD or maybe, in my world. The gnome and I are heading up to the hill where the Grand Palace was built at. We are riding in separate horses and I can't help but astound at the two shiny caliginous. Although I wasn't able to ride on any horses before, this one I'm settling on is quite a keen driver. But I am not sure I'm very comfortable all I think is that this is way better than sitting on a train and sailing a boat.

As we passed in the river, I caught myself reflected in the water. My face is healed and clean all because of the pixie who owe my hair yesterday. She still invites me to a tea party.

We have passed the forest we've been yesterday and the habbitat was full of evergreen and perfect fine trees. There were sparking dusts all over at the top of every flowers we cross through and some butterflies dancing in the air. My heart is already unstable since our departure from the village. My mind is occupied with thoughts and trepedations about seeing the Princess Cassastra again. She's nice and lovely but I can't help to get stun a bit whenever the ideas of talking to her makes me nervous. I always lose my words whenever I'm lying. Arcurry actually loves it, he believes of my young age and my fresh heart. Back in my world, I never used to blush or feel nervous with ladies. But the princess is not just a lady, she's the heiress of Celistones. She can be dangerous. She may be the reason why I can live here, but she can also be the hardest way to leave.

Arcurry was slowing down his horse by pulling the iron jackstay on its head, so did I.

"I guess we have to walk." He said, leaped on the ground. "Come on."

"Are we there yet, I can't still see the palace." I said.

"Yeah, because it's covered with fog." He rolled his eyes and then pointing to a straight direction.

I cannot clearly see any of a grand building. I jumped off the horse and nearly stumble. I didn't expect myself to feel dizzy.

"Are you alright?" The gnome asked, looking back at me. "The princess is waiting, come on!"

I followed him on while almost getting blind by the mass gas covering up the entire distance.

"So, I told you okay? Keep your head. Just say the appropriate words to the princess. Make her laugh, make her smile or make her go crazy about love. It's that so simple, get me? I have faith in you."

He said under the blast of white cloud.

"I'm doing the best I can."

"Don't worry! We'll find out that maid you saw last night. Maybe I know her, you just have to relax. Nine days are way too long for you to stay here. You can find lost cousin in a span of just one day. Celistones are not that vast for you to struggle finding the missing person. The only way to make you stay here alive and free is that making sure you're safe, right?" He said while we're walking in a blind spot. I heard the sound of mirth from the small birds above our head following just into the fog. My boots are touching the rough parts of the ground where I feel like I could trip off or hit my feet.

I saw a little farther the palace we've been looking for. It is unlike the place I expected to see where a royalty live and do their daily regular burdens.

It's far beyond my imagination can ever define.
Not in my dreams and nightmares. Or even in this wildest escapade.

Arcurry grins as he saw my face delighted at the structure above us. It's way too big and grand.

"Don't forget your steps, this place is a coarse of stones. Stones that are made of gold and pearls." As he said it, I mind to look at the ground below which is on different types of gems. It's a canvass of beautiful fleet.
