Asura smiled before replying "Yeah just let me go get properly dress and we'll go. Who is coming with us?" "Just me, Conrad, Priscilla, and you. Selena doesn't want to wake up and Aleksander hates Hearth. Shame too, today is the Night of Entropy and there is going to be a huge carnival as well as fireworks and parades." Athena said with excitement in her eyes because she loves the carnivals the denizens of Hearth put on every year.
Asura went to go put on some proper clothing and an armored jacket. The whole outfit's colors where red and black which were his favorites. (Every main character is color coordinated. Asura is black and red, Priscilla is white, Nadalia is pink, Selena is purple, Athena is pure red, and Conrad is light blue while Aleksander is dark blue.)
He had been working on a spaceship he was copying off of a work of another artist on Earth, which is on a whole different plane of existence than this one. The Firespray Slave 1, a police prison prototype ship that was the one of six but now the last of its kind. As soon as he was finished making it he could take everyone on a little adventure.
The only way to get to the other planets was by portal since some were extremely far apart from each other. No one could easily get to the world that Asura and everyone else was on. It was extremely hard due to the barriers that they had put up and even if someone had set foot on this planet they most likely be killed quickly by hostile creatures or Skellige.
Asura left his room and went back to the dining hall where Athena, Priscilla, and Conrad where waiting for him. "Remember we can't draw to much suspicion to ourselves. Let's just keep to ourselves for the most part." Asura said because he didn't want people to see them as a threat even though they could all easily carve through the whole city within an hour. "Everyone ready?" Athena asked. "Just open the damn portal." Conrad said. Athena punched Conrad in the shoulder.
Athena opened the portal and they all stepped through and came out the other side in a forest that was on the side of the main road that lead to Hearth's main gates. Hearth was the main city of the outside worlds and was also the capital. It was extremely large and had towering stone walls and enough protection that no one but the aspects could lay siege to the grand city. The castle in the center of the city was decorated with beautiful gold towers and grand walls. It was protected by royal black knights that never spoke and would never hesitate to end a trespasser or anyone that posed a threat to the king or his family. Many secret societies plotted to overthrow the king and many had tried, all to fail and get annihilated when the guards fought back with incredibly overwhelming forces.
They walked down the road greeting the occasional traveling salesmen that passed them due to them having horses while the aspects being on foot. They reached the gates "I never get tired of seeing such magnificent architecture." Conrad remarked. "HALT! State your name and business or be off." The guard said holding the tip of his lance towards the group. "I am Athena and this is Conrad, Priscilla, and Asura and we are here for the festival." She held up a book to the guard that said they had royal permission to enter and exit the city's walls.
"I am sorry for the inconvenience madam Athena, you and your companions are already registered and you can get in for free with these papers." The guard took a silver key and unlocked a leather box and took four ivory and ebony badges. "Just brandish these badges at the entrance of the carnival." They all took their badges and put them in their pockets. The other guard who looked like he was a young recruit. "Are you Asura?" The young recruit asked. "As a matter of fact I am." Asura said being nice to the recruit. "I've heard so much about you, everything from your deeds of helping the king to the time you dominated the Colosseum. Will you be attending tonight's fights or will you just watch?" The guard asked with a twinkle in his eye. "I hadn't thought about it but since you mention it I'll give it some thought." Asura said actually wanting to attend but he'll need to be sure he would go easy on the other gladiators else he'd kill them.
