Chereads / Black Crimson / Chapter 5 - Domain 1st

Chapter 5 - Domain 1st

"They are here." Kaelen says quietly to Rai while they are both still under the sound barrier. Rai deactivates the sound barrier. "What kept..." interrupted by the sight of a passed out Myles seemingly being bridal carried by Terrene. It turns out she could control the Criole around Myles if she had enough time to study his Criole wave. Lia immediately rushes over to take over from Terrene, but Terrene refuses. This shocks all the three girls; Terrene has never taken interest in anything or anyone. Lia clenches her fist and steps back defeatedly and watches as Myles is carried into the egg vehicle. 

"This isn't fair, he was nothing but a 'pet'. What changed in your eyes." Lia's eyes seemingly devoid of life as she looks down as she tails her sisters into the vehicle. inside. "Please not him." she says with a pained voice as a tear trickles down her face as the opening in the egg closes behind her.

Inside they are greeted with a marvelous spectacle of flying metal drones of different shapes and sizes all working on their individual tasks respectively. The egg-vehicle seemed to have a pocket dimension within it because the inside looked much larger than the outside; it should be slightly larger than a campus at least the visible parts. The floors, paved instead of metal, but they had blue light shining through their slots dimly giving a sleek and futuristic look, on either side are tall mechs holding different weapons as if guarding the entrance. Parked uniformly were different vehicles seemingly built for different terrain and conditions. The expressions on the faces of the girls seem quite nonchalant, Rai opens her mouth. "We have to go back, daddy will be missing us." All the girls smile except for Terrene which is expected because she doesn't show much of any emotion, and Lia, who seems lost in thought as she stares at Myles.

Terrene looks at her younger sister and begins, "We should share him, I respect the fact that he was yours. Then again he was a shell of what he is now so you will have to win him over again, but I will do same. You won't be greedy would you?" She says with her usual blank tone. Lia's eyes regain their life suddenly and are filled with a sense of determination. She looks up to her older sister. "I'd share him but he'd love me more." Terrene smiles and turns to walk away as Lia follows. "We'll see." Rai and Kaelen give each other meaningful looks and giggle.

Rai begins, "I never would have imagined that it would be a boy that would pique the interest of the awkward purple robot." Kaelen snorts at her elder sister's comment. "He is quite the interesting character though, and who knows I and you might fall next~" Kaelen jokes. Rai however did not laugh, her face was suddenly flushed instead. Kaelen was struck dumb. She was thinking that Myles probably had some kind of charm on him, Rai was always composed, even when she was before someone she took interest in. So how could a mere human mortal make her react like that? 

"Devinr." Rai suddenly calls out to the ships AI, "Set a course for home." She disappears as soon as she dispatches the order. Kaelen chuckles and walk towards a pressurized tube that takes her to her room directly. 

Her room dark, dim lighted, stone walled, big and with an eerie tone looks like a dungeon. Her hair turns completely red, freckles appear on her face, her eyes narrow and take a sharper form and her smiling face turns stoic. "Tell me Kaelen, di you also notice what the boy is?" The new form of Kaelen asks herself, subsequently a voice from within her replies, "I thought I was imagining things but if you saw it too then... " New form Kaelen smiles. 

"This is really starting to get old." Myles dressed in a black Black samue kimono, some strands of his black hair now red and his body felt lighter than usual. Myles felt awkward and clumsy, it seemed as if he had increased a bit in height, his muscles haven't grown but they look more defined. Myles walked up to the mirror on a wall in the room and he was shocked by what he saw. Even with all the changes his body had recently gone through he still couldn't believe he was the same person. His jaw chisled, his hair straight and silky, although the muscles didnt surprise him they looked amazing and he had fangs. Myles always thought people who naturally had fangs were cool, so he stood there admiring them until he finally realized the bed he was sleeping on in the mirrors reflection.

The bed is big, that is probably why he didn't notice; Terrene and Lia lie peacefully on either side of the bed in similar clothing as Myles, Lia's is white and Terrene's purple. Myles's attention was suddenly stolen by a gundam mech in the corner of the room, the room. Myles soon noticed the mix of Japanese and sci-fi esthetic the room had. The floors were wooden, the walls and doors looked like paper but were probably not; they had blue light running dimly through them just like the floors, the table in the room has soft cushions surrounding it hovering close to the ground. The only thing that sticks out, the floating round bed with a ridiculous size, probably three times as large as a super king size bed. 

Myles smiled because it made Lia look soo cute and tiny. He turns back to the gundam and decides to explore. The magnificent structure has a sheathed katana on its hip, a laser gun strapped to its back, knuckle spikes, a nice colour combination of jet black and red highlights and it seemed to be human operatable. "I'm geeking out right now, i don't care where I am right now I'm never leaving." Myles says internally with a serious look on his face.

*ATTENTION, ARRIVAL AT 'HOME' IN TWO MINUTES* a robotic voice interrupts Myles and simultaneously waking the two girls. 

Lia yawns, "Myles come see our home with me." She says, barely awake. "Yeah, umm ok sure thing." Myles turns around and replies. Terrene flies up to Myles and kisses him on the cheek. "She can have you for now." She says blankly. Myles and Lia are struck dumb as she heads over to the bathroom. Myles looks at his ring with a worried look on his face. Lia notices and opens her mouth, "You know, we aren't engaged or anything. That was just a promise I made to you if... if you ever got your mind back. I will fulfil that promise, because... because believe it or not I fell for you." Myles and Lia just stare at eachother, their faces red. "Let's go now, ok?" Lia says suddenly. 

Lia has lead Myles to the cockpit to see the planet she calls home. They meet Kaelen and Rai there as well and soon after, Terrene comes right behind them. They can see the magnificent beasts as they pull the ship through space, the stars making trail light as they zoom through space and finally a green planet with small blue patches appears before them. "Welcome to my home." Lia gently grabs Myles' hand looks down to him and no says. Myles is simply mesmerized and and taken aback by her genuineness, beauty and her eyes as they look into his. Myles clears his throat and looks away, "Th... thank you." he stutters out making Lia chuckle.

"Let's go get ready we are going to see my father, it has been so long." Myles smiled softly as Lia pulled him towards the room they came out off. 

"I'll go in first, you can come too Myles, I don't mind." Terrene says blankly as she walks into the bathroom. "Don't you have your own room?" Lia yells after Terrene, "I could say the same for you dumbass." Terrene says in a plain tone with her head out the door. Lia blushes, she lifts Myles and before he even realized it, he was in a room with whit rose decorations and pretty much the same layout as Myles' room except larger, tiled, furnished with oak wood and a western style esthetic, her chandelier made of glowing white rosses and dark oak vine, her bed suspended by the same vine with white roses, a pool at the end with white rose petals, the walls dark oak with the same blue dim light running through and finally there were cute attendant robots tending to the flowers and maintaining the room. 

"White rose fan, are we?" Myles asks Lia with a small chuckle, Lia blushes and looks away from Myles, "Yeah." she says softly as she pulls Myles towards the bathroom.

They all gather at the entrance of the egg vehicle which is now going to serve as an exit. Myles holding Lia's hand is red like a cherry, Lia on the other hand is cheerful but composed. She wears a track suite identical to Myles' but completely white. Rai chuckles, "That's cute but we are going to see daddy, we need to dress properly, you know this." She says trying not to laugh at her little sister, "look.' she spins showing of her beautiful blue top with black detachable sleeves paired with stylish blue trousers, a black linen wrap belt and black heals. Kaelen wears a green ruffle wrap dress, jade bracelets and platform lace up sandals. Terrene wears a black choker a purple velvet bell flare sleeve with a black arm cuff, a thigh strap and platform boots.

Lia lets go of Myles' hand, her clothes glow and change into a light grey sleavless coat, white turtleneck, high waist suit pants and silver heals complementing her silver rose belt and necklace. Myles thinks about how cool it will be if he could do same and suddenly e is enveloped in black fog. as the fog clears, Myles wears a jet black loose hooded overcoat , a turtle neck, loose fit trousers and black platform boots.

After landing inside what appears to be a big mansion to Myles the group is greeted by maids butlers and androids. "WELCOME BACK PRINCESSES AND STRANGER TO DOMAIN FIRST"

Myles, holding Lia's hand is led by her to a big room it is breathtaking, the floors made completely of jade, the roofing a mixture of precious rocks and light, the walls gold and silver and finally the throne made of platinum in which a visibly old but rather healthy looking old man sat. The old man begins to speak, "Welcome home my daughters." he says cheerfully and then turns his attention to Myles, "my, what strange creature have you brought with you?" he says with a genuine smile.

Lia opens her mouth to speak, "This 'strange creature' as you call him father is the man i would one day want to marry." Lia says as she bows to him.
