She walked through the sewer her back hunched while she muttered her breath to sneak back in to the city she couldn't exactly let any one know she was at the explosion of the northern kingdom or be potentially married to a destructive psychopath willing to tear the city apart into piles of smouldering bricks and bloated corpses the imaginary image made her gag just thinking of the reality of destruction scattered across the city and innocent people being massacred all while she was connected to his crimes selfishly though she hated the concept of being married to him and going to prison with him she shook her head when she reentered the city by entering the docks boats and workers made the harbours alive while the the water blue and clear the skovian nation had not seen as much luck the capital lay in shame its flag torn its towers falling and crumbling all while its queen fled to find a new life for her self leaving the nation to fight for its self and dishonouring its self in the awake of the after math of the Great War all while shaming its ancestors never realising the weight the skovian queen had on her the weight of royalty and family matters all making her question the role she played and was it even hers to bear control of was density just a cry for help Evelyn sighed sneaking past the barrels of wine imported from
The Arcadian medical district formed in the awake of the mass extinction of the old word leaving only London and the new Eden to keep humanity standing in its mistakes its knees aching from the drowsiness of sorrow and its flourishing guilt now Arcadia stands in a ocean of darkness its past shrouding it never letting it escape from its crimes
Evelyn snuck towards the monorail station she sniffed her clothes she stunk to put it bluntly from the smell of ash and soot to the stench of bloated corpses she sighed " is their a hotel around here I need to shower and have a nap said Evelyn her head pounding " yes two miles from
Here by car or 5 yards by monorail said the chytron droid " good how much for a ride to the promenade district said Evelyn " four pounds pounds and forty two p replied the droid Evelyn fished out her purse " here said said Evelyn " thank you madam please proceed to the monorail said the chytron droids human voice sounded disgusting to Evelyn her head pounded just thinking the reasons why such a machine would be given freedom when they helped in humanity's demise and so she just smiled and walked onto the monorail and it glided Down rail stopping in front
Of the newly built mono rail station promenade white and blue tiling adorned the floor while white bush pots and green trimmed bushes rested in them while a water fountain adorned the centre two mighty marble statues held a golden sphere with the city known as Arcadia was built in the city with the words on the sign below " built in honour of Arcadia may those who lived in Arcadia rest peacefully " she smiled sadly at the losses felt in Arcadia since its fall but that was a tale for another time unfortunately for Evelyn she was going to see
More tragic events in her life soon which would define her
She walked down the steps which lead to the car parking and taxi spaces rain pattered down on Evelyn " taxi she waved her hand shouting a taxi arrived " where do you need to go asked the taxi driver " um a decent hotel cheap but four star or maybe a three star replied Evelyn " oh the rose refinery hotel yeah nice place I take yah their names Marvin by the way said Marvin smiling his New Yorker accent slipping out " oh hello well my name is Evelyn of course you would know that since I am
On most billboards advertising my new make up line whispers fall said Evelyn
Smiling " lady I don't know you are sure your pretty but I don't need make up said Marvin raising his eye brow " fine how much will this cost asked Evelyn " 12 pounds and 49 p replied Marvin while driving Evelyn to the hotel a hour passed when she was inside the hotel reception two small palm
Trees rested behind the receptionist whom seemed young and cheerful like in office of corporate leeches but alas she seemed fine enough thought Evelyn a red carpet and golden pillars and a tacky cream coloured wall papers adorned the walls " cliche and bad decor what next a shoot out ha thought Evelyn " I would like to book a night with a view bath and shower I feel expensive tonight and a good view of the city bay said Evelyn fishing out her purse while regretting not buying a new elor dress since her other one was torn apart " yes madam that will be 250 please said the receptionist she gave her credit card " she smiled giving back " approved now please enjoy your room wine is sent to your room your room key is 523 and breakfast is served to 8 to 9 said the receptionist " thanks i might avoid I usually just have coffee said Evelyn taking the elevator then walked to her room the carpet made her sleepy due to its softness she entered while locking the door and turning the lights on the city was shining the night sky filled with light from the corporations the oponorium shined its lights the holograms shined into the sky Evelyn sighed turning on the tv news reports the usual she turned on the taps waiting for her bath to fill she fished out pair of Pjs found in the cupboard steam wafted from
Her bath so she grabbed her robe and closed the door and dipped her toes into the water when it was cool enough she fully submerged her self she let out a soft sigh of content the lapping water danced around her figure she washed her hair and enjoyed the water cleaning her wound on her hand while it softened her joints she savoured the warm water until it went cold from
Their she wrapped her robe around her waist and placed her towel on her head and sat at the desk where she used the hair dryer and dried her hair she watched tv until fatigue caught with her so she got dressed into her pjs and closed the curtains turned off the tv and snuggled under the blankets and went
To sleep
