Chapter Four:

"One ticket to Wally's Castle Entrance. The flight will be here in a half-hour. Thank you for using Cobo Service!" Ariel gleamed at Aisha. A small smile was returned to her and the purple-haired lady walked away.

"Erhem! I would also like a ticket to the same destination." a different voice came to Ariel from her far left. A fairly handsome and tall man dressed in resplendent white and had long white hair bound into a high ponytail walks toward her. Flying androids float in a lazily-alertish way, looking like bodyguards behind him. She welcomes him with a genuine smile, "Of course, the cost is 18,000 ED Mr. Add. How was your trip here this time?"

"Fair." Add kept a straight face, but his usual gruff voice softened to his familiar. He waited for Ariel to complete her job and after a few minutes she spoke.

"Alright, then here is the ticket. The flight will be here in about 26 minutes. Come again soon!"

"Will do. Thank you Ariel." a grin is revealed, a ticket is acquired and an Add walks off.

Aisha just waits silently, holding her staff in one hand and aside her two luggages that contain her necessities. She takes a walk through memory lane and Aisha realized these life-changing adjustments were long overdue. For much of her life—except for brief periods during Daisy's marriages—she'd been taking care of her mother. She'd provided emotional support, handled practical details and kept track of their lives. No wonder she was so good at organizing her boss, she often thought.

Earlier she saw a man talking to Ariel, he was very peculiar, dressed in very classy clothing, white tuxedo pants, white trench jacket but purple shirt. She must add though, that it was a different but nice shade of purple too. His long white hair astounded her in a way, it looked like he could of had his hair dyed. Oh my El-Lady, so much white. The way he walked with those flying gadgets seemed intimidating, but the look on Ariel's face as she was talking to him was very animated and normal. Maybe that's just because it's her job to be cheerful and welcoming to all customers.

The first part of her journey was very relaxing, but a bit longer than expected. The trip had to take stop at Bethma village. There was something wrong with the airship and it had to be fixed. An airship change was scheduled for those who still needed to go Wally's Castle and wouldn't be available until the next five hours. That didn't matter to Aisha. She took that time to travel the small village and explore the canyons beyond Bethma. It was so fun, she had nothing to worry about but herself only. She bashed some scorpions and fire-tongued lizards for fun. Practiced on casting both fire and ice balls. Oh, and making one of those lightning tricks she had done so easily when she was younger—almost singed her hair and clothing! Went on a small quest for the town's local alchemist, Chacha Buch and obtained a bit of money and a few bottles of sweet honey. She went to go buy a long-lasting lollipop from a very posh looking accessories shop owner. He was very similar to Lucy, a girl who sold accessories in Hamel.

And for that, Aisha relished all she had experienced. To think one can have so much thrill in being risky and taking chances. This only made Aisha want to be with Elsword evermore—what she could experience with him would probably be increased by tenfold!

Aisha made her way back to the Cobo Service Airport, but news to all passengers that neither airships nor airplanes were available for the next three days. So much for technology today, huh Mom? She was worried. First she went to the public mail services to quickly write to Elsword that she wouldn't be arriving on the actual day and was thinking of how she would go from here on. Should she just wait it out for three days in Bethma? Or go alone afoot to Wally's Castle?

The cold weather of winter in this canyon made her eyes watery. She still hoped the letter would reach Elsword's house on time before he went too early. She knew he would be there waiting though. He had promised her. Said that nothing would keep him away. Phorus could be ransacking his house or the magical El-rock motherload be found on his property, but he'd be still waiting.

Only he wasn't.
