FLAT! Kinguin is so FLAT which Isaac thinks he can roll from one side all the way to the other without getting hit by anything. The straw houses are yards apart from each other. And at the center, which he thinks is the castle, looks like two cathedrals stacked on each other. With some ruins of towers and stone houses which Isaac asked about. To which Oby says, “Some of the structures you see are not from present Kinguin, just like the three great outer walls that guarded the once bygone kingdom that grew and stood against the foul monsters and races at Xzyklly.”

“Xzyklly?” Isaac asks, unfamiliar with the name,

Which Oby nods thinking that Isaac is catching up to him, “Yes, many foreigners do not know or believe this fact but our great Mother Continent—Hemrea, is sisters with Xzyklly. They had a terrible relationship, and would often pass through the borders of Princess Cyndoryll—who, after several years of tolerance, decided to raise her status to a neutral land that will not allow any marching battalions or monsters either from Hemrea or Xzyklly. That caused Xzyklly to be angry and decided to try and conquer Kinguin. But she failed multiple times and never wanted to give up. While Hemrea wanted to help Kinguin, Princess Cyndoryll rejected her offers, saying that she will remain neutral and will not take any sides…” Oby stops for a moment to present Princess Amerie and the guards wearing the silver armor with the emblem of the immortal amaranth salutes in grand fashion. “Anyway, as I was saying” Oby continues while the servants flock around them,

“Princess Cyndoryll did not want to take sides, and Xzyklly wanted to get rid of her. So, she sent a cursed man to marry a noble at Hemrea’s kingdom to become king. That king’s son would then go to Kinguin and somehow manage to marry Princess Cyndoryll. Wild right!? Because of that marriage, Princess Cyndoryll gave birth to an only child named Falyorn who became the greatest wizard after studying in the kingdoms of Xzyklly. And, when he returned back to Kinguin, he came back with a promise of a festival, to make things merry for her mother and father, and all the people of Kinguin then plunge them all back to chaos. In just one night, the old Kinguin was ravaged by Falyorn and his fiancé, known as Lady Dramescula, who the two commanded the undead to rise and shatter the morals of everyone. That was because they have not fought the undead before, the past people of Kinguin always respected and loved their dead. So, when the undead rose, they did not know how to deal with the threat and now, outside—those ruins overthere, are what’s left of past Kinguin.”

Peacock decided to just sleep on Isaac who is eyes wide interested by the story, and ask, “So, wait, what do you mean by battalions and monsters walking through Cyndoryll?”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkjXlF9ide
“Hemrea and Xzyklly were once connected. History tells so and that is what our great high king believes too.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx3ibwYkCo
“Father even boldly claimed that our great grandfather is Falyorn!” Amerie says, “And that old fossil is still alive! And titling himself a father continent after stealing a big chunk of Princess Cyndoryll and Mother Hemrea’s land! He is so evil!”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYS5hkqSVk
“Princess Amerie, you know that he is still your family, right?”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSjGkl4Tsy
“As if Mother Hemrea did not ever think aunt Xzyklly is crazy. I think she did!”

The group walks down a purple carpet that covers the entire hallway, from the corridor they came from to the corridor they turn and enter what seems to be like a Servants Hall. Mairs and maids promptly wearing in white and caps. The ceiling is open for fresh winds to breeze through and flap the clothesline hanged wet blankets and clothes. Long wooden tables trays covered dishes with silverwares and plates stacked at the ready. Among the crowd of servants, one pink haired lady with a short cut stand in black. Her lips flaring in purple with purple eyes that calls for the princess’s attention which Amerie calls out and waves her hands, “Ms. Real!” Oby halts and decides to file himself behind the princess.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KA4TpI2XB
Haures, Ipos, and Zephyr are all dry and tight lipped at seeing Real, who is taller than everyone else.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKHJcStaLS
“Greetings princess,” Her voice sounds lower as well, “and to her highness’s guest and to you three. Ha! I did not remember receiving a letter for you three to return. Why did you all not visit so!”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKiSQngE38
“I---” Zephyr starts, wishing to speak on behalf of the two dumbheads to save herself from trouble, “I doubt that we need that formality. Hence, we headed straight for the princess and checked on her.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MGLPnlhYx
“You sound just like yourself Zephyr” Real nods gladly, “And I don’t think these two need to speak as well since you are gladly in control. I am proud of you.” Smiling at the blushing sister before turning to Isaac and Peacock, “Pleased to meet you two guests. I--”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpV4iqtc02
“This is Real!” Amerie interrupts, “Real is father’s great strategist and also the first who made a pact with me! And Real!” Gesturing excitedly to her two new friends, “This is Isaac and Peacock! And you won’t believe where they came from!”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJyRXqMKFf
“Oh? Are they special?”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotcVAs3BsF
“Of course! Why would Ipos, Zephyr and Haures bring them to greet with me! They are from the legends of Unyan, the great verdant messenger and its tamer”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwYvtPnPqD
Peacock wanted to yell up against the tamer part but Isaac holds his beak close, smiling at Ms. Real who is looking at them.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBneE1fNOG
“I can see that”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF9JCP8S4S
“What!? That’s all you’re going to say? You’re always so boring.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT565kDzdV
“Oby?” Ms. Real looks down to the elf boy, “DIdn’t I tell you to come before eleven? What would you have me do if the princess gets hungry, I doubt she even had breakfast.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fdXFvpXpk
Which the princess’s stomach agrees with Ms. Real, “W-wait, I ate, I for sure ate breakfast.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3ZwRhEQJL
“I cannot have you keep attending late, Oby.” Patting the boy’s head, Ms. Real squats down to his level, “What made you come so late?” asking as if a teacher is intimidatingly up close to her student.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5SvfII4o0
“I---” nervously he tells the truth about being lost in talking with Isaac and sharing about Kinguin’s history. “That’s all, oh and maybe that early morning when we were looking for the princess’s choker.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxJuN7WQQ4
Ms. Real once again turns to Isaac before back to Oby, “Well, I’m glad that you are making friends, as well as building your relationship with Princess Amerie. But now, we should all head down to the Mægfæge. Many are still expecting to meet you, Princess.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXjjcdVyeg
“hehe…I kind of forgot about the Mægfæge, but DON’T TELL ANYONE.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYJiBrlEey
“P-Please Ms. Real, please don’t tell on my master too” Both Amerie and Oby bow their heads at Ms. Real before their heads are patted and she asks them to follow along. And the group does, obediently so towards a spiraling staircase leading to an empty underground chamber. Nothing but cobwebs and chirping spiders in here. Which Amerie asks Ms. Real about it and the lady pats the wall in front of them. Purple runes glow as Ms. Real deftly trace the intricacies with her fingers. She closes her eyes before placing her hand at the center where glowing lines bend out of the runes and merge to a circle. Uttering silent words, the magic circle pulsed with energy before a scene expands cover the entire wall. Revealing a clear blue sky with streets that are alive with the presence of nature entities, sprites and spirits, their animalistic with some humanoid forms mingling seamlessly with the people carrying baskets and merrily passing fruits to each other.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gpfHQjciQ
Some baskets set beside rows of fruit vines growing grapes, berries, or anything that the people ask to the vine spirits that look like snakes. Tents hug along under giant trees. Sometimes the people move them because the tree would want to stay under the shade of a bigger tree. Everyone is bustling out and about, and Princess Amerie quickly celebrates herself in and join a revolving circle of dancers and dancing sprits whom she surprised.

Oby turns to grab a hold of Isaac’s hand, grinning from cheek to cheek as he brings themselves into the scene, “Come,” He merries, “Let’s have fun in our Mægfæge”
