Miracle
A small group of Carbuncles were gathered in the room of the missing prince, sitting in a circular pattern. Standing near the center was a woman dressed in white and holding a staff. Her three tails swished behind her and her long ears twitched as she mentally prepared herself.
A moogle floated down from the ceiling and groaned. “Can we go already, kupo?”
“One moment.” A light blue Carbuncle said quietly.
Several Carbuncles in the room lifted their heads and the gems started glowing. After a moment, the glow converges to a single point in the center of the room. The space within started to distort and suddenly a rift was created.
“Truly a miracle for our time… to create a rift to another world. Imagine if we were able to downsize to continental travel.” A pale green Carbuncle wearing glasses watched in awe as everyone maintained the rift.
“Less brainstorming, more focusing.” A ruby Carbuncle scolded.
“Sorry!”
The woman in the center gazed upon the rift for a brief moment before turning to the Carbuncles.
“You have all done well, my friends. This was a challenging endeavor but with your help we have made this possible. Now, we shall proceed to the next st-”
The moogle flew toward the rift. “Finally!” The moogle would make contact with the rift and disappear.
The woman looked toward the rift and snorted, a soft laugh escaping her lips. She then looked back to her subjects. “I will set out and find my daughter and son-in-law. You all will remain here, just in case we need assistance with the rift. The Phoenix family will make sure all of your needs are met in the meantime. Shinshi will be apprised of my status if you have any concerns.”
“Best of luck, Your Highness.” An amethyst Carbuncle bid her farewell.
With a nod, the queen of the Carbuncles approached the rift. Ready to set out for the world beyond.
Just what will she find? And will she be successful in finding her missing family?
Only time will tell.
“Alicia. Alistair. Not much longer now. I am going to bring you both home.”
