Chereads / The Hidden Galaxy: The Forces of Nature / Chapter 4 - THAT WAS CLOSE

Chapter 4 - THAT WAS CLOSE

With the magnetic crystal transportation they transported themselves to the Diamond Castle to introduce Terra to the king and queen.

"You can do this. Right?" said Red, hoping she 'can' do this.

Terra didn't respond, she just stood their in silence staring at the distant castle which they are actually getting closer. As much as I really want to meet the royals through a virtual holographic video chat maybe meeting an actual king and queen face to face might not be so bad, it could be awesome, Terra thought. "I may be nervous but I'm mostly excited" she replied to Red's previous question, with the sound of confidence. "Cause I get to meet a real king and queen in person, how cool is that."

Okay, seeing Terra's positive vibes rising too high and not taking this royal meeting serious enough, Sapphire clearly does not want to break Terra's confidence, so she better help her with the Galactanian etiquette. Luckily she was a Lady Royal before, and she used to work in the Diamond Castle to serve the king and queen's daughter, their princess, when she was still there with them before. "Okay Terra, love the positive attitude but if we're going to do this we need to do this right" she said with a strict tone.

"Agreed" Zircon agreed with her "So the first thing before meeting the royals is to calm down. I've met the king and queen before and I could give you some advice on how to make a good first impression."

"Good advice Zirc" Sapphire interfered in the conversation "But I'm the one with the real experience here, I've worked in the castle as a Lady Royal for a decade so you better let me handle this" she said sounding a bit snobbish.

Zircon growled like the animal she is, feeling easily provoked she said with resentment "You've been a Lady Royal for ten years. Ten years which we had no idea of with you being all secretive and disappeared out of nowhere like the most suspicious person, which didn't surprised us!"

Sapphire was provoked too and felt like to shout back, but then she stopped short for she looked at Terra and Red's worried faces. She didn't want to start another fight with Zircon like they did before, especially not in Terra's meeting with the king and queen, and to prove she has evolved she swallowed her anger and replied with a calm voice "I'm sorry Zircon. I sometimes forget that your animal side is sensitive. I did got carried away with the bragging, I'll get that out of my system. How about we both give Terra advice."

Zircon calmed down and apologized too "I'm sorry too. I got carried away with my wild side and didn't think things through, it's been a while since the three of us hung out together, along with a human 'which is still new', but you're right we can work together on this cause we're both experienced on royalty."

"Right"

Sapphire and Zircon worked it out then they hugged it out.

Red and Terra sighed in relief. Well mostly Red, he didn't wanna go through another Sapphire vs Zircon fight marathon again. He truly appreciates how Sapphire changed for the better.

However Terra still wants to know about Sapphire's mysterious past, she's still waiting on her answer of what made her change, but after this close brawl it's gonna have to wait a little. Maybe she'll ask after the royal meeting is over.

Hopefully it will turn out well.
