Marcus walked inside the room. Eva and Zoey were already prepared to leave and were standing near the table together with Nexus, while his guards were waiting by the door.
Marcus strode towards them, "You guys all set?"
The three nodded.
Zoey noticed that Marcus seemed to be the leader of the three or at least the one who calls the shots even though he calls Eva, Big Sis.
'Who is this boy?' Zoey wondered.
She's not carrying anything. None of them were since they all have spatial rings.
Marcus turned towards his guards and nodded. They walked ahead while Marcus and the gang walked behind them. There was no rush since there was hardly anyone left.
They arrived at the place where they'll ride a small ship and head to the Estra Rescue ship. The place where they were standing right now was not that spacious. But the place on the other side of the window was. Right now, ships are still landing and are coming in so they have to stay on this side and wait.
As soon as everyone was gathered, the one who was leading the Moonsplorers crew stepped forward and cleared his throat.
The man started speaking "Everyone, I know that it's been hard for all of you these past few days. It's been hard on all of us."
He surveyed the people. There were people crying, people clenching their fists, and a few who had just had hatred in their eyes.
He continued "For those of you who lost someone, we are deeply sorry. We can't deny that this is also Moonsplorers fault. I pray that on your next trip, you'll all be safe."
He went back to the side after saying that.
"Dumb speech. They should at least compensate these people." Nexus commented.
Marcus nodded. "That we can agree on."
They soon boarded the small ships. It had a length of about 120 meters, dark purple color with 5 spider-like legs below on both sides. When the side doors open it releases a narrow staircase that's enough for one person. The inside of the cargo-like ship only had seats at the side and could house only 40 passengers at a time. It also had a single small cannon.
They found themselves a seat and waited. After everyone was aboard the small ships, it started floating. Later, it swooshed out of the Moonsplorers ship and went straight towards the Estra Rescue Ship.
The Rescue ship was huge. It had a length of around 5000 meters. Blue colored ship with 2 not so long fins on the side. You don't have to walk as they have bots that can take you anywhere on the ship that you have access to.
The butt part of the ship opened downwards and the small ships went in. The passengers were properly accommodated and were sent to their rooms. Marcus and the gang requested a room with 4 bedrooms. They also asked for a futon. He also needs his guards to sleep somewhere.
As they stepped into their room, Nexus immediately jumped on the couch and got the remote.
Eva on the other hand went directly to her bedroom "I think I need some shut-eye. My head hurts."
Marcus nodded. He also wants to rest.
Zoey had no choice but to go to her room too. She doesn't want to be left alone in the living room with a madman who thinks that killing people is funny.
----
As Eva slept, she dreamt of something unexplainable.
Inside a huge palace, in the garden, she sat. In her dream, she was the owner of the said castle.
She sat on a cushioned seat, tea in front of her, and all kinds of beautiful flowers were in the surroundings. The clear blue sky couldn't be seen as it was cloudy. She didn't mind though as she continued to sip the cup of tea.
Eva wondered where she was, she felt like she was looking at the scene in front of her through another set of eyes.
Hurried footsteps could be heard. The woman sitting on the chair turned her head to the incoming person.
"Mistress, he's here again." A maid said as she slightly bowed.
The woman wryly smiled. "I'll go see him in a while. Tell him to wait for a minute."
The maid bowed and left.
The woman retrieved a mirror from her spatial necklace and fixed her hair, although everyone would argue it was already perfect.
Eva's eyes went wide. 'Is this, me?'
She couldn't speak nor could she move. It felt like she was tied to a chair and was forced to watch a show.
"Marcus, can't you tell him to just come here once a week?" The Holy Maiden chuckled as she turned her head to the man who was casually poking the pistil of a flower.
"You say that but, the first thing you do when you find out he's here you fix your hair. You've never cared that much for appearance before right, Big Sis?" The Lord of Destruction stopped poking the tiny flower and faced her.
The Holy Maiden blushed a bit.
Eva however was not. She was stunned, confused, befuddled.
'Marcus? No, this one looks a lot more mature.' Eva thought.
Eva evilly smiled"Baby Brother you should leave if you're just here to tease me. The Lady of the Moon and I might not be in the same faction but we still talk quite a lot. Every day even. If you do--"
"I'll leave! Big Sis, I was only joking around with you, hehehe" The Lord of Destruction disappeared.
If any other person tried threatening him like that, they'd definitely lose their heads. But since it's The Holy Maiden he didn't mind.
She was the one who took care of him when they were children. Now it was his turn to make sure that she would live a comfortable life.
Present Eva was just quietly listening
'This dream is quite vivid. Why have I never had this kind of dream before?' Eva thought.
The Holy Maiden sighed and stood up. She walked through the grand corridors. Eva, who was watching this, was struck by awe. White carpets with gold colored stitches at the side. White silvery walls with numerous paintings hung on them.
She arrived in front of a wooden door that was adorned with gems and opened. The inside had an area of 80 square meters. A table was situated in the middle and there were varieties of dishes on top of it. On the far side of the table stood a man who was smiling.
He stood around 6'2 feet tall. He had black hair with yellow streaks in the middle. The man wore a black suit with a diamond mark on the side that was colored yellow. His black almond eyes stared at the woman.
"Thank you for agreeing to see me." He said. The smile on his face never disappeared.
"Of course, Nexus. You don't need to thank me. Between us, there is no need for thanks." The Holy Maiden smiled back at him.
Eva who saw this froze. When she heard what the Holy Maiden said, her heart skipped a beat.
