32 Blue Night Sky (1/2)
Nine frantically wrote down her latest theory. If she was right, then what they were missing all this time was a component of a royal's blood. She had been hoping that they would be able to devise a solution without the need of a royal Vampire's blood, but it looked like the more one hoped for something, the more it was destined not to happen.
She was leaving before anyone got it into their minds to stop her from going. She'd left delivering the message to Shade, who had returned from his mission after a long time. The abundant information had taken her some time to sort out plausible truth from falsity, but everything returned to the singular point that since it originated from a royal's blood, there should be a way for them to neutralize the eternal sleep.
If all else failed, she would pry it out from their mouths and make them sing for her. Nine's eyes flashed with ruthlessness.
Unfortunately, she couldn't teleport there since she hadn't been there before. She inwardly cursed the previous Nine. The other had truly been a shut-in in all manners of ways. She hadn't ever left Cosmos City. In fact, the one time she had left the city, she had ended up being left for the dead by a disloyal maid and ultimately died.
Nine left the sleeping city with steady steps. The sky was a breath-taking shade of blue. It was unlike the nights on earth, where the stars were shrouded by the bright lights of the city. The nights in this world were absolutely stunning. Although it was dark, there was sufficient moonlight from the ever-present two moons hanging low in the sky. She loved the nights here. Maybe it was because of the magic she could feel from the gentle moonlight, but it made her feel safe and at peace.
She looked like she was casually walking, but in fact, the speed which she travelled at was rather startling. It didn't match the way she looked like an elegant young master strolling through a garden.
Nine travelled far enough out of the city before she pulled out a motorcycle from her interspatial bracelet. The bike looked slightly chunky and heavy, but it was actually considered a light-weight as far as transport was considered. It had surprised Nine the first time she saw it. It looked surprisingly similar to motorcycles back on Earth.
The only difference was that this one could fly.
Her heart thudded in her chest as she felt the weight drop from under her as she rapidly ascended into the sky. At this moment, it was like the sky had opened up around her. she felt like she was taking a breath of fresh air after having been confined for a long time. The machine purred under her handling as she revved it, causing it to shoot forward. She traced the runes attached to it, activating the various stealth and silence runes, which would allow her to move undetected by those below Fifth Tier magicians.
She was surprised by how smoothly it glided though the air. It wasn't even leaving many traces that could be tracked by an inexperienced person. It almost felt like it was blending into the air. It didn't even feel like it was cutting through the air rapidly, and the bubble made it so that she could only feel a gentle wind blowing across her face.
Her lips curled lightly as she looked at the framework of the motorcycle. She had a strong urge to take it apart to see how it worked, and if she could further improve on the design, but held herself back for the time being. There would be plenty of time for that later. Right now, travelling this way was both fast and discreet. She didn't have the tools necessary to make any modifications.
