As Mint neared the quaint little town, she wondered if Maya would come after her. If she did, would her friends help hide her? She was sure. 99% sure. Still, there was that 1%...
She was glad to be back. All she had to do was wait for those glorius doors to open and. . . WHY WEREN'T THEY OPENING?!?!? "God dammit!! Open up to the PRINCESS of friggin' East Heaven Kingdom!!!" she stamped her foot in spite of her anger. The man that was operating the doors awoke from his slumber. Grumbling, he opened the heavy, large gate doors. Mint strolled into the cozy little place she had longed for for two and 1/2 years.
Everything was the same... from the beautiful fountain to the single tiny speck of color splashed over each stone set into the ground. She sighed pleasantly. She was so engulfed with wonder that she didn't notice Lady Karaka behind her, scoffing at the happy-looking place. This is such a puny little town...what could this girl, no, anyone see in it?
"Ahh... It's been soo long! Oh yes!! Soon, I will have my beloved almighty [relic]... Then...WORLD DOMINATION!" Mint startled Karaka so that she nearly fell. The confident girl ran off in the direction of a small house that was to their left. Karaka read the sighn.
"Tonio's... Hmm... Maybe I'll follow this girl and have a quick tour of the town." And she walked inside.
"Excuse me, but could you give me a tour of the town?" she said to the redhead chatting with the teen behind the couter. Mint looked up.
"Eh? Oh! Sure, but you gotta tell me your name first."
"My name...Lady Karaka the 12th of Crea Mannor."
"I'm Mint! Pleased to meet ya!" Karaka stared at her, puzzled. What a common-looking, peasant-acting girl. How could she be a princess, when a noble that was standing right in front of her acted just like, even more-so one than her? This was what was puzzling her.
"I heard you say that you were a princess."
"Well, actually, eldest co-queen Mint, of East Heaven Kingdom." Mint smiled proudly. Co-queen?! She barely seemed fit for a royal jester...
"Fine. I want my tour now." glared Karaka.
"Hey, listen, I'll give you a tour, but NOBODY orders me around!" Tonio rolled his eyes. Karaka's mouth twitched in anger and she immeadietly wanted to slap, kick, and punch this girl into oblivion. She was about to, when she recalled Mint's words about a '[relic],' and world domination. What a load of crap! The world was hers, and hers alone. If she got to this [relic] first, she could be supreme ruler of the planet--no--the UNIVERSE! She grinned.
"Okay." smirked the noble.
"Alright. This, is Tonio's. He sells armour and stuff here. She we continue?" And Mint showed her the bar (Annette did not take a quick liking to this girl, but costomers are costomers), Hobbs' (whom Karaka thought was increadibly surly), the inn (Karaka thought this place should be blown up), the empty grass fields (she thought this place looked peaceful, and would be a good place to train around 5 in the morning), the church (unfoutunetly for Doyle, Karaka had not only inheirited her dead adopted mother's house, but also her stinginess), and finally, the hotel. Karaka found this place the only suitable place for her to stay, so, she announced it to Mint. Mint bid her farewell and Karaka watched her leave in the direction of Klaus' house, the only place she hadn't been told of.
When Mint was inside, the noble followed her to the window of the building, where she eagerly eavesdropped. I'm sure this girl can lead me to the [relic]!
Inside, hugs were given and stories of growth and humor were exchanged. This extremely bored Karaka. "Get to the point!" she hissed, and ducked in time to avoid being seen.
"What was that?" asked Mint.
"Probably just a cute squirrely-whirrely!" giggled Elena.
"You're gonna make me hurly-whirly all over the floor..." replied Prima Doll. Mira smiled.
"I'll get to dinner." she got up and began to prepare food to be cooked.
"Okay, Doc, I've been here for 39 minutes, and I haven't heard the word '[relic]' once-" ("Yes! Finally!" said Karaka.)
"Ooh! I have!" Elena pointed. "You just said it!"
"Hey, it's rude to point!" scolded Prima.
"Is not!"
"Now now kids," interrupted their father, Klaus. "Your making my head hurt. Mint wanted to talk, so don't hog the spotlight from her." Mint made a queer expression.
"Err...yeah. Well, Klaus, what have you found out about the [relic]?" she said eagerly. Her old friend got up and went searching through some papers of one of his shelves. Mint sniffed.
"Mira, that smells great! Wha'cha cooking?"
"Why thank you, Mint. I'm cooking steak and muffins." (Karaka: Is it just me, or does Gwennavierre have odd taste? Steak and muffins, honestly!)
Klaus returned to the group sitting at the new dining table with an aged scroll in his hands. "This is what I have." he handed the paper to Mint.
"Huh? What's it say?"
"'THE POWER OF THE ELEMENTS LIES NEAR WHERE MANY STREAMS SPLASH DRYLY. GO THERE AND FIND THE [RELIC] THAT DOES NOT EXIST, BUT DOES EXIST. WITH THE STREACHING RIVER'S GUIDENCE, MAKE IT TO THE FORTRESS.'"
"Hey! A riddle!"
"Can you figure it out?" he said axiously.
"Hmm...'THE POWER OF THE ELEMENTS LIES NEAR WHERE MANY STREAMS SPLASH DRYLY.' That most likely means a former delta or something." she pondered. "Are there any near here?"
"No...wait, actually, the Delta of Colorus. That's the only one that used to be..."
"Okay! Good start! 'GO THERE AND FIND THE [RELIC] THAT DOES NOT EXIST, BUT DOES EXIST.' Hm... I don't get this one...um...nope, sorry." she frowned sadly. She wanted to be on a roll... "As for 'WITH THE STREACHING RIVER'S GUIDENCE, MAKE IT TO THE FORTRESS,' I suppose that we have to follow the dry river above the delta..."
"No, you're wrong!" All of the characters gasped and looked at the embarresed, rich-looking woman standing in the humble little shop.
"Lady Karaka?!" yelled Mint. "How you know?! Were you spying on us?!"
"One question at a time, please." she stated. "I, am Lady Karaka the 12th of Crea Mannor."
"Oh! I've heard of you! You're the sno--" Prima muffled his sister's rude comments.
"Do you know the answer to this riddle?" asked Klaus politely.
"Yes. 'THE STREACHING RIVER' is not a river, but an Aeon." she said quietly.
"Wha'? Are you sure?" questioned Mint.
"Positive. She is dead, yet not dead." This statement reminded Mint and Klaus of the [relic]. Karaka closed her eyes. "Her name........Gwennavierre." upon saying the name, her emerald eyes flashed open. She said it as if it was the most vile thing in the galaxy. This startled the group, including Mira, so that they all jumped in astonishment.
