Grating continues
When the night is late. Everyone gathered at the seats near the podium. King and Queen Alexander say goodbye to King Greg, then Kendrick and Rey.
" greg's.... We'll be back now. If you need help or something, just tell Xenia" King Alexander said.
" Certainly King Alexander, thank you for coming" replied King Greg.
" My Lord, Princess, we say goodbye. See you " said King Alexander and Queen Elena together.
" See you King, Queen "all answer together.
King Greg returned to the palace with his ministers. Rey, Kendrick, Asgar and Zigaz return to base. Before long Zacko and Xenia also returned with some other members. They were all resting in the hall except Rey and Xenia.
When morning came, the servants of the headquarters immediately prepared hot tea and snacks on the hall table. Rey and Xenia immediately took a bath, then sat together in the backyard. The waiter delivered them breakfast and warm tea.
In the hall, Asgar was still sleeping hugging Zigaz. Kendrick was chatting with the five headquarters leaders who were meeting him. Then Kendrick gave each ring according to its function.
The space ring, for Yezhi store coins, supplies or anything important.
The energy ring, for Jansen as a fighter and Biago as the executor.
The Ring of Knowledge, for Tarzea and Zando.
They all thanked him and immediately went to take a shower. Asgar and Zigaz also took a bath and gathered in the hall for breakfast together.
Some members ask Zigaz to turn into a Cronos wolf. Zigaz looked at Kendrick for permission. Kendrick smiled in a nagging smile.
Everyone stared in amazement at Zigaz. Its size is equivalent to a large horse. One of them hugged Zigaz. The others immediately approached and scrambled to hug him. There was also a caressing Zigaz's head. Zigaz licked the member's cheeks making him laugh at all the members.
" he.ha.ha.... "
But he was not ashamed, he hugged Zigaz by the neck and whispered something. Name's Arden. Zigaz nodded, sat down and Arden climbed on his back. Then Zigaz got up around the hall with Arden laughing proudly as he waved his hand. All cheering happily.
Rey and Xenia walked into the hall, smiling at their excitement. Kendrick immediately pulled Rey to a seat that was available near the desk. Xenia is joined by Zacko and Asgar.
" Where are you going after this ? " ask Kendrick.
" About the whole HIGRESIA area. There are still many witches and demons scattered. I'm sure this has something to do with someone from Astraco. What does he really want ? " Rey paused for a moment.
" Maybe.your powers.and Astraco's.
Rey fell silent.
" Kendrick.. How long have you known the Outter Elder ? "
" He was there before I came to Astraco "
" What is the element ? "
" He controls everything. That's why he chose to work outside of "
" When was the last time you met ? "
" Well, if not wrong, when the kingdom of HIGRESIA is ruled by the devil "
" How long did he stay in Astraco, after reporting his duties ? "
" He never wanted to stay at Astraco. Just come report and come out again "
" Find out the cause he prefers outside duties. Tell Zigaz to be any animal while undercover, do not show his human form to anyone "
" Hmmm.... Be careful. Call me if you need to. I love you "
Kendrick kissed Rey on the forehead, then waved at Zigaz. Rey hugged him for a moment. Then Kendrick touched Zigaz (put it into dimension ) before disappearing.
Zacko, Xenia and Asgar approached.
" Where is Miss going ? " ask Zacko.
" Continuing my assignment "Rey answered half-thoughtfully. He doesn't know where to go.
Rey smiled at me. Zacko and Asgar clapped their little hands (so as not to invite the attention of the others).
" Your mother was wise "Rey gave her thumbs up.
" All right we have to go, yuk Asgar.... " Rey hugged Xenia.
While Asgar hugged Zacko and patted him on the shoulder "Be a great Knight "
Then they waved their hands and exited the headquarters. Rey took out both horses from the dimensional space. They're heading east.
Out of the capital, Rey chose the path to the left. They drove their horses through the deserted road to enter the settlement. Rey stopped by the little shop to take a break.
There were some old people talking. Rey hears their talk about an old man inviting the girls to celebrate the night of the full moon. He said he would grant the wish of whoever was chosen by him. Rey and Asgar stared at each other then nodded slowly.
An old man approached Rey.
" Miss. Come to the full moon party tonight at the village square. There is a magician who will grant the request of the chosen girl "
" O.. What are the conditions for that ? " ask Rey interested.
" No one, miss. Just come in the best dress "she said.
" Mmmm.
Rey and Asgar are out. Rey pulls Asgar's hand and bounces Asgar's ring.
" Now your ring has a dimensional space according to your strength. Put the horse there "Rey's orders.
Asgar approached the horses and touched them one-on-one while saying "go in ". The horses disappeared from sight.
" We're going to have a party" Rey said, turning Asgar into a woman. His face was not too different from Asgar's own.
" What do I call you ? " ask Rey.
" Ouhh... Axie." said Asgar as he wandered.
Rey closed her mouth laughing. The other hand holds the stomach. Asgar immediately pulled it because some people started to notice them.
" Asgar uh, As... Axie.... don't walk too fast. Put on your smile "
" Mmm..... " Axie held back her speed.
" What if we go to a clothing store ? "
" Mmm..... " Axie smiled sweetly. Rey laughed without a sound.
Some men and young men were fascinated staring at them. Some also follow long distances. A luxurious train stopped. Rey and Axie kept going.
" Lady, wait." call the young man who just got off the train.
" So, my name is Ramos. Where are the ladies going ? " sanyanya.
" We're going to the clothing store. We have to buy a new dress for the party tonight" Axie said. Rey just nodded.
" Oh. coincidentally. I know a store that sells beautiful dresses. Let me drop off. " said Ramos.
Rey silently scratched Axie's arm. Axie just smiled and played his eyebrows.
Inside the store, Rey and Axie are choosing a dress. Suddenly a girl accidentally bumps into Ramos. Ramos was forced to embrace her so as not to fall.
" Ouw. I tripped on my own dress " said the girl.
" Ah no problem "Ramos is about to catch up with Rey and Axie.
" Wait sir, you're alone. Introduce, my name is Teana "Teana reached out, but Ramos was looking around looking for Axie and Rey.
" Mister...What is your name ? " Toe still stretched out her hand. But his face was starting to grow sour.
" Oh, I'm Ramos" replied Ramos shaking his hand. Then leave without a word.
Teana was upset, she kept staring at Ramos. Follow him a little far.
