Elementals: The Snake With Wings

Part Two: Travel To Chaos

"So where is this.... Castle.... of... cooperation or whatever?"

"Negotiation Temple."

"Right.... that."

"The Dragons know where it is, let's just trust them." She petted the dragon on her side of the carriage. We weren't going as fast as I expected, it's quite peaceful.... but I just want to get there already.

"Mmmhmmmm.... okay.... Can they go any faster?"

I see Kathrin smirk, "Futai!!" The dragons start going much faster, ducking under Crystal formations and rock structures. The air felt amazing in my hair. "So... Wind was it?"

"I- it's Whistler actually.... I go by my second name...." right, Fire Elementals go by their first name, even to strangers.... It's starting to get warmer, the terrain is changing alot too. Before we must have been near a beach before, but now we were in a mountain range. Also, the atmosphere is much darker too. It's like the color of the sky changed or something.

"Right right, Whister. Why is your hair like that? Did you dye it?"

It took me a moment to realise she was talking about how my hair was two different colors, the tips are white and the roots are black. "Uhh no... I didn't dye it. It just... grows like that I guess?"

"Neato!" (This girl seems offily immature to be royalty) "I don't see many people with that kind of hair style."

"Well your hair isn't exactly a normal color eather is it?"

"Actually, there's alot of people with pink hair in Fire Kindgom, also orange hairrr and red hairrrr and yellow hairrrr.... and sometimes all together like that!" I guess she's right, I have seen the queen's hair.

"Hey doesn't the Queen have like.... three colors in her hair? Why is it so weird for me a-" I ducked as we went under a large piece of Alchemists Ore. "Yeash..." Kathrin didn't even flinch.

"Yeah yeah, but it's just not that common." She suddenly turned towards me, "Heya!! Is this your first time out of your kingdom?"

I nodded, "I'm not taken captive that often, believe it or not."

She laughed a bit. "I knew this was a good idea!!"

"What makes you say that?"

"Well I love traveling, and I got to meet you! Most Fire Elementals are stubborn and grouchy alot haha, I'm glad you're more.... fun I guess."

"Heh, If you say so." The carraige rocks very... roughly. "A- AHH!! WHAT THE HELL?!" I duck under the seat.

"We're here!!" I see Kathrin jump out.

"E- eh.... right." I stand out of the carriage and look around.

"Oooh!! The temple is so pretty!!" I see Kathrin run past a golden gate. It's engraved and very detailed, not to mention it has many crystals and gems lining the outside of it.

"Flashy...." Slowly I step inside the gates aswell, the temple coming into veiw. It has much of the same characteristics as the gate, engravements, gems, but it also seems to be offily lit up with torches of white light. I get closer and notice there's two dragons infront of the door, "Hm? Guard Dragons?"

"As you can tell, we employ dragons alot." Kathrin spoke with her cheerful tone of voice and turned to address the dragons, "Excuse me sirs, but could we please be let in?"

The dragons glanced at eachother before nodding and opening the doors with their magic. I let Kathrin go first as I was.... quite nervous, I then stepped in myself.

(Oh god) "Hello Mother!!" Kathrin skipped towards the (intimidating as hell) Queen, Eliza. She was much scarier up close, before I had only seen her durring festivals in Keilo Town. Then there was the (also terrifying) King Tony. I soppose I see him much more often, but this is the first time I've so much as spoken to any royalty.

"Hello my spark," I stood in the entrance Kathrin and her mother joined in an embrace, I guess my legs aren't done being jelly yet. "You had safe travels I hope?"

"Could've had faster travels Denza." (That's a new voice) I notice there's another figure sitting next to The Queen.

"Ahm.... like you could do better Gene." Kathrin pulled away from her mother and smirked at the smaller figure, "I took my time and did it right."

"Gene..." Shit I said that outloud.

"Eh? Is this the Air fre-"

"This is Wind Whistler!!" Kathrin interupted her... "Whistler, this is my brother, Gene!" Brother.

I waved awkwardly and stepped forward a bit, trying to get a better look at this... 'Gene'. I swear I've heard that name before, it feels familiar. When Kathrin said it earlier it was the same.

"Rightyo.... nice to make your acquaintance or whatever...." his voice also sounds familiar,

"You too.... Gene."
