Expect for the throwing-up-after-the-ride thing, I appreciated the flying taxi. It travelled very quickly.
I could see the surroundings moving behind with great momentum as we made our way forward. Oliver and I were barely seated on the taxi and had to grab on to the bike in order to stay on board.
All the places we had been through now should up below us as we flew passed them. During the start of our journey, we could see Sterlin town behind us. The big forest could be seen next which we crossed in around 10 minutes thanks to the flying taxi. After the forest, the River Aster showed up and we entered the other side of the river. The grasslands were vast, extending till even beyond the horizon, easily taking half an hour to cross.
As we travelled, we saw all the four towers surrounding the grasslands. Just like the tower we had been on, the rest three also had canons to defend the borders of the Abandoned Palace. We looked below us, the grass dancing with nice breeze. This was the place we were soon destined to die if King Jalaar awakened. Just the thought of it wanted me to concentrate on the rest of the surroundings, leaving that portion.
The grasslands finally ended and Hilton town soon arrived. The town was filled with lights though no one was around. It was obvious considering the fact that the time was just 3:30 am in the morning. We passed Mount Drake and finally made our way to Foster town.
By the time we reached Foster town it was 3:45 am. We first threw up near the tree in front of us and then paid the driver. (It may sound gross, but trust me, after a ride on the flying taxi, nothing is gross.) The three drivers happily rode off.
The clean streets, big roads and huge buildings brought back memories from a week ago. I was here just like any other warrior. Then I became the world champion and joined the DELTA. Things are never normal in a Darknorian life. We still had a street to walk to reach Foster Plaza.
We walked the lonely street. Though over-populated, the town did not have citizens roaming around at midnight. I guess you can argue that they do not have to stop King Jalaar from rising.
It was 4:00 am and we reached our headquarters, Foster Plaza. We entered the building. The elevator took us to the eighteenth floor. Rock Flames unlocked the room and we walked inside. The furniture, the things, everything was just as I had seen them the last time. Xavier and Lily were seeing this for the first time and were impressed. For a room, the place was kept really nicely.
We threw our bags on the sofa and sat on the other one opposite to it. The glass door enabled us to watch the outside view. Rock Flames went to the wall where the buttons of fans and A.C. were. But instead, he pressed another button on the bottom left corner. Then Rock Flames announced, "DELTAs, welcome to the DELTA Headquarters!"
