041. the street of an unfamiliar city at night . aaaaand kindria!
Mare de Regium was a planet known mostly for being underwater, and though most of it's creatures held their base form, they often to chose their half forms to roam amongst the marbled streets bustling with business. mostly in the trades for rare gems and abundant treasures, and trade routes for minerals and metals to other planets. kindria liked to walk along these streets, simply for the pleasure of seeing the chaos that ensued after nightfall.
all was quiet though still as busy. Thoughts ease backward to he and iovita's prior conversation about coming here. it felt so wrong to continue to promise something and not allow them to see what he had. the alien prince could not move inter mundos, the magic was complicated and not like his own. instead, he cloaked both iovita and lucrezia in a protective, and breathable film made of his venom so they would be able to take breaths on his planet. inter mundos would be protected and unharmed and untouched while they traveled, he would make sure of it.
smiling to himself, he takes a hold of iovita's bicep, gently gesturing them to close their eyes as the puddle of water just infront of their feet grows wider. stepping with them, then shoving them forward so they drop just as he does. a solid grip is kept on them as they fall through the rip in space. kindria keeps his eyes open simply because he's always fascinated by the inside of the portal itself. it's not long before they stop, landing in a pathway of damp greenery and marbled walkways. ❝ ━ you can open your eyes now. sorry about that, didn't want you to get motion sickness. ❞ a sheepish grin curls across his face and he gestures toward the bright sky, the two moons shining brightly in the sky, illuminating the busy streets. sea creatures of all kind skitter in their half forms, tentacles, tails, fins, anything one could think of. even hybrids unheard of.
here on his planet, kindria's clothes are no longer earth clothes, instead robes of some sort of lavender silk, deep purple strands more luminescent and flowing at his shoulders, eyes pale but he's just as warm. though, as they stroll through the streets, kindria's very presence is met with deep bows, and reverent stares.
❝ ━ see the constellations here, you can practically reach out and touch. the stars tend to fall down into the streets. you see, they chose who deserves their power. almost like what earthlings call sentient beings. ❞ he holds out his hand as they stop in the middle of the street, light explodes from his palm before fading into a show of twinkling lights then forming into a shapeless mess, forming odd structures with just a flick of the prince's fingers. closing his palm, it extinguishes slowly. ❝ ━ we both have time, nothing but an abundance of it and i've made you many a promise, it's only right i uphold my end of it. you're one of the few people i cherish, one i'm proud to call friend. ❞
kindria sighs out a smile as he trails behind iovita and lucrezia, letting them explore on their own, while also keeping on eye on the sharks ( they tended to be shady with newcomers) and a stern look and sting was more than enough to send them on their way. and if it wasn't, reminding them of how their ruler lost his ability to speak properly was just another quiet and cruel reminder that his reign was just beginning. time passed slowly here, and kindria truly didn't mind it in these moments of experiencing the witch's curiosity.
