They continued to fly for hours until they were a few hundred klicks away from a giant storm. Myrrah guided the Tempest higher, and Reyna asked, "What about the storm?!"
"It's an artificial hurricane!" Myrrah shouted over the winds of the storm. "It surrounds the island to keep it hidden! We have already sent forces in to kill all the humans on the island! They were top researchers and geniuses who were hidden away during the war! How pathetic!"
Once the Tempest was above the storm, Myrrah guided it into the eye and carefully landed on a lush sandy beach. "You are to stay here," Myrrah said. "There are Locust on the perimeters, so you can't leave. There's also the hurricane to deal with. Take your bag and go into the hotel. You can stay in one of the rooms. This was a luxury resort at the time, so you should be set."
After Myrrah helped Reyna on to the ground, she kissed her daughter on the forehead. "I will be back later," she said, reaching her arms behind her neck.
Myrrah eventually removed a necklace from around her neck. The front had a very ornate design with several intersecting lines. Myrrah placed the necklace around Reyna's neck and said, "To keep you safe."
Reyna smiled at the necklace and then noticed the back. The back of the necklace had the Locust symbol carved in it, but it couldn't be seen unless the necklace was flipped over. "Thank you Mother," Reyna said.
Myrrah nodded and then mounted the Tempest again, flying away.
Once Reyna entered the hotel, she gasped as she set foot in the lobby. All around the lobby were human bodies, all covered in blood.
"They're all…" Reyna trailed off, not wanting to finish her sentence.
"Dead," a Drone next to her said in Tyran. Two Theron Guards then walked up to her and bowed their heads.
"Come," one of them said. They walked ahead of Reyna into a room that was slightly bigger than a closet. A voice was playing over an intercom, but Reyna could barely understand it because of how faded it was.
Reyna yelped in surprise when one of the Guards pushed a button and the room started to move. She had been on the transfer platforms in the Hollows before, but this experience was entirely new.
The room stopped moving after a minute and the doors opened. As Reyna stepped out of the room, the Theron Guards attempted to follow her before she put her hand in front of them. "I can find a room to stay in myself," she said.
The guards nodded and pushed a different button, taking them away.
Reyna walked down the long hallway, looking for a room that preferably didn't have blood on the walls or the bed. She couldn't find a room like that on the floor she was on, so she pushed the button to summon the moving room and take her to another floor.
She eventually went up to the top floor and found a decent sized room that was thankfully free of blood and didn't smell like dead corpses. The entire floor was actually completely vacant of human bodies, and for this Reyna was grateful.
Once she was unpacked, Reyna decided to explore the hotel a bit. She left her room and saw that there were Locust guards patrolling the hallways, but she paid them no mind.
She decided against taking the elevator to a different floor and decided to explore the floor she was currently on. The rooms were filled with human trinkets and devices that Reyna couldn't possibly dream of being able to use.
She saw strange shaped glass jars with strange smelling liquids held in strange holders. Reyna wished she knew just a bit more about human culture and what these items were, but Myrrah had forbidden it. Any questions about humans that Reyna had asked Myrrah would shrug them off or give an incomplete answer.
She went towards a room at the end of the hallway, but there were two drone guards standing outside of the door with Hammerbursts in their hands. "I would like to enter this room," she said to them in Locust tongue.
"Forbidden," one of the drones said, holding his Hammerburst out. Reyna knew he would never shoot her if he valued his life, so she continued forward, but the other drone grabbed her wrist.
"Leave," he said in Tyran. Reyna grumbled a bit but did as he said and left. She walked into the room next to the one she wanted to enter, and noticed the window. The Princess smiled before opening the window, knowing how to get into that room.
