The way to the palace is a long way, which takes ten days on carriage if you don't take any breaks during the travel on the way there.
But it only takes a few minutes with transportation magic, though it is not advisable if you haven't experienced this type of magic before (neither is it advisable for you to use this type of transportation if you are pregnant, it may have causes to you and your babies health) , the first times you will use this type of magic, you may feel dizzy and nauseous, which may cause you to throw up.
Like what the new guardians are experiencing right now..
A girl with pale skin and white hair sobs as she closes her eyes when Elise roughly wipes her mouth with cloth, "I have medicine with me if you want to take them. " She says, looking down at the young girl, Elise is currently speaking to the youngest member in the group, named Ziana, who had turned 16 the day the star picking ceremony was held.
"I'm.. I'm okay.. " Ziana says, wiping away the tears in her eyes with the sleeves of her dress.
Laurance could only stare at the scene as he downs some more water, to ease the bile that was building up at the back of his throat.
His eyes glancing towards Amanda who could only smile at the scene, "What are we going to do with you~? Your a guardian but you can't even withstand the effects of teleportation magic~" She said with a condescending tone.
"Enough, Most people feel sick during their first time encountering teleportation magic, you say those words as if it isn't common knowledge. " Elise glares at the Orange haired girl, "I'm just saying~ If she can't endure this much, who knows what will happen when we actually start training. " Amanda chuckles, her words causing more tears to run down Ziana's cheeks as she tries to stop herself from showing such an ugly side of herself in front of everyone.
Ziana was written as a 'weak' character in the book, she was shy and afraid of most things, but she was brave despite all of that, hence the reason why she was chosen by the gods in the first place, she's able to put her fears aside in order to protect those in need.
"Amanda, Elise told you that's enough, you don't need to go around and deter Ziana's confidence like that. " A rough voice speaks, which causes Laurance to turn his head to Zion, his hair was black with a cyan strip on the end of his bangs, he has light brown eyes and Ivory skin.
Zion isn't the nicest person around, nor was he the meanest, he just doesn't like being around people that much.
"Uah~ So scary~" Amanda said in a sarcastic tone, her eyes looking him up and down, which seemed to send shivers down his spine as he glared at her, this was one of the factors which separated the original Amanda to the Amanda that Laurance is seeing, he's already known that the book changed because there was only meant to be 6 guardians, but there are 7 of them instead.
He needed to get to the bottom of this matter before something else happens, he doesn't know if this change is for good or for worse, all he knows is that is not Amanda, that's quite obvious now.
Laurance sighed through his nose and closed his water canteen, putting the metallic bottle back inside his bag, going back into the magic circle once everyone is all ready to proceed to travel again.
While travelling using teleportation magic, everything you see becomes distorted and stretched out, hence the travelling sickness.
Once the journey was over, they found themselves in the middle of the palace garden, them being surrounded by beautifully grown trees and well taken care of plants.
4 Palace guards walk up to their group and greet the new guardians, "We will greet the King and we'll make our way towards the Guardian residency. " Marie says, she's not a guardian, rather an assistant if you were to simply describe her job.
She has medium length black hair that was kept in a neat half up ,half down hairstyle, she had orange eyes, brown skin and pointed ears.
She keeps things organized, assigns missions, manages the funds, keeps in touch with the Guardians families (that are still alive) and makes sure that the new guardians adjust well, so she has an official uniform that she wears to show people her status, consisting of a long white sleeve top, long black skirt with yellow embroidery on the bottom, and she wore knee high heels, she wore a pendant of the Royal crest with a sword in the middle.
*The Royal crest is a dragon with a crown, the sword in the middle symbolises the guardians, only the guardians and Marie may wear this crest on their clothing*
She's been working with the Guardians for a long time, meaning she's an immortal being, she's a gift straight from the gods, someone who will assist and guide the guardians to a great path.
"Yes ma'am, we will begin the preparations. " One of the guards say, Marie turns and smiles at the group, "These lovely gentlemen will be bringing your belongings to the new residency, whilst we freshen ourselves up to meet the king. " She says, the guards come up to them and take all of their bags and belongings for it to be transferred.
"Let us go. " She says, walking up and into the palace, her long black skirt flowing in the wind.
It must be time to fully introduce all nine guardians now that they are standing in front of the King...
"Laurance Finnegan, at your servic, your majesty. "
"Elise CromWell, at your service, your majesty."
"Amanda Frey, at your service, your majesty. "
"Ziana Vaine, at your service, your majesty.. "
"Zion Aspett, at your service, sir. "
"Semmi Haynes, at your service! "
"Beck Cunningham, at your service. "
The King smiles down at the new guardians from up on his throne, "Ah.. a new era for our lovely guardians, the swords of the empire... I remember being a little Prince and seeing the guardians up close for the first time, they had such a radiant aura around them. They still have it until now. "
The Crown Prince side eyes his Father and nods, his eyes looking to the new set of guardians in front of him.
When he ascends the throne in the future, they will be the ones to protect him and the Kingdom.
From this point onward, they will no longer be identified as children or growing teenagers, they are now the new guardians that protect Oragon.
