We reach the ToodStool Room and we plant our rears on a polka-dot mushroom.
The lighting in this place changes every hour as it depends on the mood of the customers.At present its purple, which is associated with independence and nobility, a most suitable color for me.
The Cotton Candy like confetti sleets down as it melts before it connects to our heads. The walls are 3D, so confectionery launch from them without an inkling of a warning.
When you look upwards, they dotted the ceilings with lights of magical popcorn that shine throughout.
I flag the barkeep with my hand and say “Two Bearded Dragons and an Alien Pod, please” my mouthpiece gruff from our battle.
I need to wind down for a while, so alcohol is my answer to this.
The young diviner plonks our drinks on the surface, stares at me with an odd expression and scampers off.
That's weird but I think nothing of it, she's young, leave her be.
I sip my B Dragon with hints of mints tickling my tastebuds, but something stops me in my tracks and withdraws my hand from the goblet.
A familiar photograph has veered to face the lodge as something catches my attention, and it is none other than my father inside this print.
Within the delightfulness of this atmosphere, I felt only sorrow, this is the first time since I arrived on this planet that I miss my father’s squeeze on me and his disapproving eyes when he’s angered,
Nostalgia has hit me hard in the puss, and a single tear departs from my orbs as it dribbles down my cheek.
Pull yourself together Qadira you chose this path and now you have to live with the consequences.
As I spin toward the entrance who walks in only the little Trickster and I ask myself Why?, How?.
He jogs over to our furniture and says with slyness in his vocals, “Well, Well, Well its none other than her Majesty and cronies, what a coincidence meeting you all here” his slits like an adhesive on me as he chuckles
“You” I say as my pitch goes up a few octaves and my upper trunk tightens “What are you doing here” as I lour at him.
He replies, “Mrs. Zoran of Eellendra, I have arrived here because you created a supernatural raucous,” his stare still glued.
I bat my crowded lashes as I assess the situation and I reply nonchalantly, ‘Whatever do you mean sir, what racquet? ‘, and don’t refer to me by that name, Qadira or your majesty will do”, aggression is evident in my tone
He says “He knows” his vocals severe
I ask with annoyance, “Who knows?” my eyes stare into his not one of us budging and the importance of what he just said as he probes my reaction
He replies “The King, your father knows your majesty" his pupils enlarge as his busy brows raise
“How, I was careful” my balls owlish with surprise
He bites as he replies, “No!, you were not careful enough. The battle you partook in caused a vibration which reached Eellendra,” he folds his arms and grunts.
I retort, “Poppycock I shielded us, Trickster, do not play me for a fool,” I cut him to the bone with my gaze
This conversation exasperates him as he continues," No, as your magic has a unique vibration so unfortunately for you he’s coming" he sighs and swivels his eyeballs
Im unnerved by this announcement as I say “He can’t, no one else can break that Veil” the melanin drains from my complexion as I turn translucent with the fright if it all
He answers softer this time “Yes they can dear, the Treaty created it so they can surely get through it, I apologize to be the bearer of bad news my lady and there is a meeting taking place as we speak,” his eyes fall to the floor gawking at his shoes
I ask with apprehension, “How long do we have a ballpark figure please?,”
“Approximately one week and a half?” his forehead pockets as he divulges the information
Sakari and Nica’s necks must hurt from moving their heads back and forth as they’re enthralled by our conversation, and Nica's uniform grazes her wrist as the magnetic pull between the two intensifies.
“May I ask Tine óg does he know where I stay” I inquire with a dejected look on my delicate features
He replies “I think not your Majesty, this establishment would not be on his radar he shall go to The Branch of Hōrai Hotel in Manhattan ‘ Upper East Side’’ he shrugs his shoulders and smiles
I ask frantically, “I need to understand what happens to your brothers, The Treble T,” as I bite the skin on my lower lip
He replies, “I do not know, I fled when the Asparant Sniffers arrived on the scene,” again he shrugs with a disinterested attitude
I bark, “Coward to abandon your defenseless brothers in their time of need, they will have to withstand your indiscretions, Shame on you sir,” there is no more Emerald eyes as they turn to darkness
I mistake his mortification for some sort of empathy as he answers back “My apologies, but I am the one who helped you escape a little gratitude would be nice, young lady” his mood says it all as he buffs and puffs
I remove myself from my seated position, reach my hand out and motion to shake his as I say “I thank you for your help Trickster but I need to vacate at once to clear my mind” my arched brows are perfectly in line with my stormy grey fleck of my viridian eyes
I lay my sights on Sak and Nic as I ask, “Lovebirds, will you accompany me or not?”, as my hand bends into a fist and I breathe fear into my lungs
They sense my perturbation so they say “Yes” in unison
Nica’s lemon eyes slope slightly as he says “Sister I will follow you to the ends of this realm, let us take off to the lane at the rear and travel from there” his kindness knows no bounds, my confidant, my soul and my brother.
We wave goodbye to The Trickster and let him know we’ll return later for our belongings and as we reach the back alley a young hooded human produces what’s known as a gun
He points it straight at me and says, “Give me your wallet bitch” in a monovalent voice and he pulls the trigger.
The bullet propels straight passed me and pierces my brother Nica.
"No!" I scream
It almost feels like it’s in slow motion as my best friend collapses to the concrete below, his silver blood oozing outwardly.
I can barely hear Sakari as shrieks explode from inside her and she lies beside him.
An earthquake of immense force builds within me as everything trembles beneath my feet.
The brightest of blue flames discharge as I levitate above this thing who is trying to scamper.
He looks back with fear as I point my palm at him and incinerate the bastard that killed my friend. No more flesh, no more bone, just ash remains.
The seismic waves from me are like expanded thunder roars and everything riots from the ground cracking to the buildings plunging
It all feels like the universal location fell from the night sky and pummeled the earth with its mighty impact.
I am no longer in control of my Zenith Power it has taken me captive and I am on the verge of destroying the Universe.
