The Outcasts

Chapter 4: Visiting The Cities

After yesterday, Jade Relise was all tuckered out. But yet, today was visiting day, or the day when Jade and her parents would visit the cities, including Brian might I add. Jade was excited to see what life was like in the other cities.

Jade had found out that her and her parents would be flying to the cities. Thank goodness you don't get tired out from flying. Jade thought. Walking would be a pain.

Finally, when Jade and her parents were completely ready, they took to the sky and lapped once around their city before they left. Then, they went to the city closest to them; Solestia. It was the city of the Purples. And when Jade looked down, all she saw was a mirage of purple hair shining in the sunlight. Then, the trio slowly progressed to the ground and into a mirage of purple mist. Turns out that it was a castle. The king and queen were both sitting in grand purple thrones. Their faces were just like they were in their picture except now, they had a boy sitting next to them, it was Ryan, from the home! It was nice to see Ryan again. Jade so badly wanted to greet him, but she couldn't, for she had to act proper, royal even. So, she stood there looking happy, as she was taught. Her parents started asking them some questions so Jade blanked out until it was time to go.

 Next, they went to the next city: Fireia. She knew that Naomi was there and she missed her best friend so much. And sure enough, when they landed in the castle, Naomi was sitting there! Jade couldn't help herself, "Jade!" Jade was overjoyed and looked at her parents hopefully; their answer was yes. Jade threw herself onto Naomi and they hugged. Then, they started conversing about how it's been and their power(s) and how they are easy, yet challenging. And finally, it was time to say goodbye and go. Jade was sad, but knew that this wasn't forever.

The next city that they needed to visit was Forestia. It was city home to the Greens. The king, queen, and herself landed in a castle that looked like a giant tree covered in vines; it was beautiful. She walked over to the spot in which she needed to sit down and slowly let her mind rest. After all, there wasn't much to do when you're royally visiting cities, at least when it's a check-up anyway. On the contrary, the Greens seemed a little more relaxed than the Red's king and queen. They were actually smiling and giving off a warm welcome type of vibe. It was nice, but Jade was glad when they had to leave. She quickly smiled and then, took off!

After that, they visited Agaria. It was the city of the Pinks. Everyone there looked a little nervous as they had very little power in case something went wrong. But, it didn't and the king and queen were rather kind. She liked them very much and was slightly disappointed when she had to depart. But, Jade realized that they were visiting Brian's city. She was quickly anxious, but her mother turned to her and instantly said, "Yes, you can." And that made Jade feel much better.

They had finally reached the ground castle for the non-magical people and she looked at it with great pity and sorrow. It was sort of in ruins, yet it was the nicest thing down here! And everyone down here was extremely worried. Jade could definitely see why. 

They landed in the castle and sitting there was Brian! The king and queen were wearing expressions with the deepest concern on their faces. But, the king and queen were just really worried. Jade then, ran to Brian with such happiness that she was practically crying. She hugged Brian so hard that he could hardly breath and he hugged her back with the same force. Both of the kings and queens looked astonished, but not as much as the non-magical. They were utterly bewildered. Then, Jade took Brian's hand and lead him to the chairs in the corner for them. She started to tell him about her plan in a low voice: "If I can master my powers, when I do, I can invite you to come and live with me! And along with that, you can get the same amount of power that a purple would have! You could be free and rule the cities with me!" Brian looked so happy at that, that he started to cry slightly. And everything was amazing until she had to leave, but she was going to work up a plan so clever, that it just might work. And when they left, the king and queen looked a lot less stressed.
