Emmanel walks to the bus station observing the people in thought, "So that is an Azuria. They really are tall and strong." She walks up to the station to see a normal human working there. She scowls staring at the man. The man notices Emmanel and greets her, "Oh, good afternoon Madam. Welcome, how may I help you?" Emmanel is surprised but answers, "I wish to go to the capital."
The man smiles, "Oh, that's easy." He points to a bus, "That's the bus to the capital. How do you intend on paying?" Emmanel is surprised but before she speaks the leader of the spirit-kin flies over, "Hi hi hi, sorry about this. She's new here so can you take her to the embassy in my name. She's a Great Spirit-kin."
The man is surprised and nervous, "Oh oh sorry about this your majesty…my lady….uhhh great spirit?" Emmanel sighs, "Great Spirit is fine." The man sighs, "Sorry about that, I've heard so many stories about great spirits and never thought I'd see one." He face slaps himself, "Right, I work in Celestia Cove where Spirit-kin reside so of course." Emmanel is silent.
The man clears his throat, "Ahem," directs her to a bus, "Please board the bus." He steps aside. Emmanel walks past him then glances behind her to a sight that baffles her, a human and a spirit-kin are chatting as if pals. She knew the Azurians were good from the spirit-kin but she never thought a human would be that friendly.
Emmanel boards the bus which is mostly empty and it takes off within 15 minutes towards the capital. Emmanel looks out the window admiring the sites of mountains and trees around the road, it's a beauty that left her with a smile. "I thought the Celestial realm is the only place this beautiful." She mumbled.
The bus arrived at the capital in 1 and a half hours, it stopped at the gate for a checkup. She was moved to a different car which too her to the embassy and she was given a room to stay. But after she mentioned her purpose for coming, she was escorted to castle. Ignoring the fact that she was nearly run over by a couple of cars a few times, she had a great time.
Emmanel reached the castle, before she entered the castle, there was a white kitten with purple stripes. This kitten was lazily lying on the table in the lobby with a bowl of milk before it. Emmanel noticed the kitten just before she entered the door, "They let pests in here?" the kitten turn it's heard to her, "Who're you calling a pest." The kitten released its aura to intimidate the new lady that just walked in. Emmanel didn't feel a thing.
Emmanel found the talking kitten amusing, "Oh, such attitude from a pest." She scoffs. The kitten shrugs looking away, "Whatever." The kitten looks away speaking, "What are you? You're too big to be a great spirit-kin." The kitten looks at her lazily. Emmanel sits at a chair at the lobby, "I'm from the Celestial realm. You could say I'm the pinnacle of the spirit-kin."
The kitten lazily speaks, "So a high spirit-kin?" Emmanel's shrugs, "We don't call ourselves that." The kitten speaks again, "Celestial Spirit-kin?" Emmanel thinks about it for a moment, "Yes, that will do. What are you doing here?" The kitten yawns, "My master calls me Kitt, I use to play with her until she got into a fight. Now she's been sleeping for about a month."
Emmanel raises a brow, "You mean the princess?" Kitt curls himself speaking with his eyes closed, "Some call her that." Emmanel is curious, "Did she fall sick from the fight? And why is a princess fighting?" Kitt speaks, "We were attack by strange people, weak but they still did a number on us. The princess went to reinforce the Xenos and the Azurians repelled and defended the country."
Emmanel sits in thought, "Is there a way for me to meet the princess?" Kitt looks at her raising a brow and Emmanel continues speaking, "I descended from the Celestial realm to repay her kindness for helping my people."
Kitt sighs, "You could just walk to her room anytime." Emmanel is surprised, "Wait, huh? She's the princess, a stranger can't just waltz to her room." Kitt chuckles, "You're pretty strong for a Spirit-kin, probably stronger than a primordial. So, I'm certain you've noticed…." Kitt grins, "The number of powerhouses in this very hall. If your reason for coming was malicious, you would've been stopped before entering the castle."
Emmanel grins with pride, "Oh, you believe they're not enough to defeat me?" Kitt looks away, "I've experienced what it feels like to face absolute power. It's the same feeling I'm getting from you." Kitt remembers the first time he met Nytri.
Emmanel gets up from her seat, "Could I trouble you to show me the way to the princess' room, I might be able to heal her." Kitt stares at Emmanel for a while then gets up, "Alright, follow me." He gets down from the table leading Emmanel to the princess' bed chambers.
Emmanel follows the cute kitten through the corridors, they climb to the highest room. At the end of the hallway is a big door, this door was ordained with many treasures and super expensive. Emmanel stood before the door about to knock then Kitt speaks, "That's the wrong room." Emmanel is surprised but follows Kitt without a question.
To the side of this great door is a simple door which was ordinary to the other rooms. Kitt jumped pulling the door knob and the door opens to an ordinary room. Emmanel is surprised, "This is the princess' room? Then who's room is that?" Kitt speaks, "That room belongs to the King, it's made that big to accommodate his size." Kitt walks into the room towards the only bed, he jumps on it and lies beside the one sleeping on it.
Emmanel enters the room perplexed, "It's quite ordinary." Kitt speaks, "My master is not one to be attached to material things." He smiles warmly, "She always said, 'As long as you live, you can build whatever that was destroyed.' And she's right. Once there's life, there's hope."
Emmanel takes the words in, she thinks about her own home riddled with war on all sides. Emmanel smiles, "She's a wise princess." Emmanel takes a chair and sits beside Nytri staring at her, "She's smaller than expected." Kitt speaks rubbing his head, "Yeah, though she's an Azurian, she's the smallest of the purebred." Emmanel is surprised by the division by blood but doesn't ask.
Emmanel closes her eyes in a meditative state for a few minutes, she opens her eyes as it glows beautiful like jewels. She looks at Nytri and she's shocked, she rises to her feet abruptly, "H…H…How is there Primac here?!" Kitt is surprised, "What's a Primac?" Emmanel calms down speaking, "Primacs are holders of a law."
Kitt smiles, "My master is indeed special." Emmanel rubs her forehead, "Special is an understatement. Primacs aren't meant to be this small, they couldn't even fit in the entire mortal realm." Kitt is confused, "How can a being be that big?" Kitt looks at Nytri, "My master does have the skill to change her size, that must be it."
Emmanel smiles wryly in thought, "Primacs can't change their size no matter what." She sighs, "Whatever." She observes Nytri for a while, "Huh?" Kitt is curious, "What, is something wrong with her?" he gets up worried.
Emmanel shakes her head, "No, she's just exhausted. It's energy depletion." She looks at Kitt speaking, "It occurs when you use more energy than your body has." Kitt comes to a realization, "Ohhh, that explains why the Azurians did nothing about it." Emmanel leans on the chair, "Yes, all she has to do is rest and recover...However." Emmanel looks at Nytri, "Her energy capacity is so huge it'll take a long time for her to wake up."
Emmanel grins, "Maybe I can help with that." Emmanel stretches her hand to Nytri and releases her energy onto Nytri. Yet Nytri wasn't absorbing it surprising Emmanel, "That's odd, humans normally just absorb our energy with ease. Why is it not so for her." Kitt is confused. Emmanel leans forward and puts her mouth to Nytri's directly transferring her energy into Nytri's body. Kitt's jaw drops watching.
