A red portal opened in the middle of a field. A young man stepped out of it. He was followed by a busty, fit blonde, a twelve-year-old red-head, and a flat-chested heroic youth. Of course, this was and my party, having finally made our departure from Earth. As for what happened on Earth, I didn’t want to think about it. It was simplest to say that it was no longer my ho. This place was my ho now, and my won were my family. Speaking of which, where was this place?
“Did we make it ho?” Bernice demanded.
“I don’t know.” I shook my head, not recognizing the area.
“Well, this isn’t Alerith.”
“It isn’t Chalm either,” Carmine said smoothly.
I opened my Map, revealing a completely black screen. I even zood out twice, only to see black all around us. “We’re still not in Aberis.”
“Damn it! Idiot!” Bernice snapped. “How could you send us to the wrong place twice!”
“I don’t know. It’s not like I ever have done interdinsional travel before.” I shot back.
“Let’s just find out where we are before we get too upset.” Garnet offered. “Honestly, it’d be kind of nice to do so more adventuring. That last place gave so many ideas!”
As she said this, she pulled out a tablet, playing with it. Before we left, I had made sure to buy many things from Earth. I had even gotten a few tablets, so solar chargers, and loaded them up with all of Earth’s knowledge. It’d be enough to completely change the nature of this world. Naturally, a young blacksmith like that was interested. I suspected Terra would be really excited to see that stuff too. I wondered if reading up on robotics would help her with her golem research.
“I agree… let’s just find a place to stay the night. This could be a warzone, so keep your hoods up.”
On Earth, it hadn’t been much of a problem since all of these won were human or could pass as human. If we ended up sowhere else though, like so demon planet, the last thing I wanted to do was reveal that we were human. We took our cloaks and lifted our hoods. It looked suspicious, but it would be more suspicious if we were caught unaware.
Bernice had the best eyes, so she did the scouting. It was a few hours before we finally located a city. It wasn’t small in size, but that might make it easier to slip in unseen. There was a large road heading into the city, and it appeared to be quite busy, so we blended in with the crowds. Once I got a closer look, I could see the people looked genuinely human. There were just two things about them that were off.
First off, they had pointy ears. They weren’t long and were in the sa shape and spot as a human, but the top was a point rather and rounded. The second thing about them that seed odd was that they had very bright hair. Their hair ca in as many colors as a crayon box. There were green, red, blue, pink, purple, and even other colors. Every one was vibrant in a way that one wouldn’t expect to see in nature. What I didn’t see was anyone with black, brown, or blonde hair.
By the ti we reached the gate, I had used illusions to give us all pointy ears and colored hair. Compared to changing the entire face, this was rather easy with Mimic. I gave myself blue hair and Bernice green hair. As for Garnet and Carmine, it seed easier to just brighten their natural color. I made Garnet’s red hair more vibrant, and I made Carmine’s blonde hair a bright yellow.
“Hello, Travelers. Welco to the city of Human’s Peak.”
