"It became very apparent to you in that moment... you would not be returning home for a long time."
.
.
.

Your thoughts were scrambled and your heart was heavy as you thought back to the King's words.
.
.
"That's right my poor lost child, Habrata is located in Old World. Nobody has developed a map or even traveled there before. It's a mystery. It's nonexistent."

" Then how do you know about it?"

"Well... I had an old friend that came to visit me a while back. As far as I know, she doesn't like to speak about her travels. But, I do remember her telling me about this small village, Hebrata. However, I have no idea where she has gone off to. You see, Echidna is a world traveler. There is no telling where she is right now."

"Please! I have to find her! It's my only hope to go home."

"I.... Alright. We will speak about this later. For now just get recovered and I'll help you as best as I can. I'll call for Yula."
.
.
"Miss (Y/N)? Are you alright?" The girl with whitish-pink hair called to you as you slipped back into reality.

"Oh yes. Thank you." You spoke and caught up to Yula a bit. You were walking down a hallway towards your quarters that the King has granted to you. He thought it would be best for you to stay in the palace to avoid suspicion from the citizens.

Well he called it a palace but this place seems very tent-like for a royal palace. I was thinking it would be like a castle.. maybe it's not like the fairytales at all.

Yula smiled back at you before pulling the curtain to your room aside. "This is where you'll be staying. King Muiha has put me in charge of taking care of you for the time of your stay." She said politely, but you can tell there was a bit of darkness to her tone.

More like he put her in charge of making sure I don't cause any trouble.

You shutter before nodding and entering the room. You were taken aback by the beauty.

There were strung lights hanging from the ceiling of the room as tapestry hangs down around the sides. A full length mirror and a small table to the side. There was a stone carved wardrobe beside it that seemed to have some clothes inside already. There were salt rock lamps and incense-burners around the room to liven it a bit. In the center of the room was a beautiful bed, with curtains around it for privacy. The curtains were a gorgeous red color that drapes from the side. They were currently tied back to the bed posts to allow her to see her bed. The covers looked very comfy. It looks to be made out of some sort of fluffy animal fur and the sheets looked silky and smooth. The bed was elevated so there were stone steps around it. Everything in the room gave you a warmth feeling, even if you were in an unfamiliar land.

"Wow... this is too much... are you sure you brought me to the right room? There's no way I could stay in a place like this!" You choked out through your amazement.

"Is it not to your liking? I could find a better bedroom that will more suite your taste... but the King looked certain that you should stay here. He said it has a great view of the ocean in case you feel trapped." Yula spoke, giving you some sympathy in her words.

"Oh... I didn't see." You spoke, pulling back one a curtain on the wall to see a window was behind it. You tied the curtain back and leaned your elbows on the windowsill. He was right. It was a beautiful view of the ocean.

Yula finally gave in. "Oh my gods, I'm so sorry, but I can't keep this formal act up for too long! It's been a while since I've had someone my age to talk to!" She has an embarrassed look, but she approaches you with curiosity. "So where do you come from exactly? You look so different than us!" She chirped out.
