Three kisses and one big, crushing hug later-

The pale king and white lady walk beside each other. His face is covered in tiny kisses.

Anyone who sees that wouldn't really take the pale king seriously, but alas, he's the king and he's scarily good at acting like a strict, cold, scary, (you get what I mean) leader.

His presence command respect!

Behind the king and queen are their supposed "children", followed by the white lady's followers and the pale king's guards.

Inside the white palace is a sight to behold.

Beautiful white marbles adorned every side of the palace. A pristine bright light from the lumaflies shines from their orb glass.

Servants line up on the sideline and bowed down as their king walked passed them. Some of them even bowed down until their heads touch the floor.

Silver rose thorns overgrown outside of the palace as flocks of masks creature fly around elegantly, making up one the most amazing view anyone has ever laid their eyes on.

The vessels stared ahead with their eyes focus on the task to follow the king and only the king...except Ghost, again.

The knight looked up at the ceiling, the walls, the floors- everything that catches in their line of sight.

Woah, so much different than the one they visit in that guard's dream The knight thought as they look around some more.

Ghost looks like a small curious child that the servant behind the regal figures actually wonders if...they's creatures with no emotions at all?

Good thing the king didn't see any of their behaviors.

Otherwise, it's back to the Abyss for them.

"I must say, the wyrm really outdid himself in terms of designing the palace" Radiance hummed quietly as she glanced around and drink in the surroundings.

You should have seen the "path of pain". He really outdid himself with saw blades.

"..."

...

"No, thank you"


After that little conversation with the sun god, the knight suddenly realized that they're alone...

In the hallway...

With no servants or their sibling, Pure, in their perception...

Ah, dang the knight mumbled in their head.

"I was thinking more of..." you messed up big time", but that works too" The radiance chuckled as she looked around...everything is white and so bright.

The one who cleans up this place should get a raise for their job.

Ghost spins around in a circle to get a better look at everything. Then they stopped as they try to recall what the king might have said before they strayed out of their way.


"No one is to disturb me while I sleep," The king said to the servants and retreat to his room, but not before kissing his queen a good night.

She smiled back at her husband and wished him a goodnight's sleep.

"It looks like I will have to bring you two to my room" The white lady then looked at her two new children- ahem, vessels.

One is looking at her with their cold eyes. It almost looked lifeless had it not been for its posture of someone trying to impress another bug.

And the other one...they seem to be in deep thought and for a second, the queen thought she saw a slight glow under all the blank void in their eyes...but it was gone the moment she blinked.

She might have felt too tired on her journeys back from the Queen's Garden.

"Come along now dear," She said to them calmly before starting to lead them away.

Her followers all bowed down before their queen and left so without making a sound.


Oh right

So that's how they got lost. They weren't following their mother and strayed away from her.

"What should we do now? If I were you, I would snoop around and find all the pale wyrm's secrets" The moth smiled an evil smile before laughing as villains do in cartoons.

Sure

"Of course, I know you're too good for that- wait- really?" She looked at her host in surprised as she figured that they the king's child and wouldn't betray him...or something.

Not that, but I still wanted to explore some more The knight jumped excitedly as they started to walk around aimlessly down the white marble hallway.

"I knew it"

Maybe next time Radiance...next time.


Note

Radiance is going to teach the vessel how to be a ninja...soon.

Man, I don't like being sick.
