Chapter 228 - 228. Journey home – Part B

Isa enters the Titanosaurian territory in a vehicle driving at full speed. The territory ahead of her bears similarity to a desert on earth and rocky on some parts. There's barely any tree in sight, but the land isn't straight either. It has hills, cliffs, mountains, caverns. Inside the cavern is a beautiful sight with plants flourishing there. That is also where the Alpha Titanosaurina reside.

The caverns are huge covering a large part of the territory but above ground is a rocky/desert that spans as far as they eye can see. There seems to be some dried grasses from time to time.

 Isa drove on the surface in hopes of avoiding family. She played music while driving enjoying the drive, "Roads unwind, like rivers wide. Leading me, to the other side. Where the sun meets, the evening sky. I'll follow on, with a soul on fire." Then she mimics the beat, "(Drums) BAM-BAM-BAM (Guitar) DUM-DUM-DUM" in her way.

Isa felt the earth shake and stopped immediately opening the latch to the top of the vehicle. She pokes her head out looking around, "Oh shit. Hope she doesn't see me."

A female Titanosaurian rises through one of the cavern entrances in the ground, it's size humongous over 1.2 kilometers. As for her strength, don't even go there. This Titanosaurian is brown in color and has hair on her body making her look elegant in a way.

The female Titanosaurian glances over the territory, "GRRRGRRRAAHH!"

NOTICE: TRANSLATION TO HUMAN LANGUAGE

A voice from behind the Titanosaurian from below, "What's the hold up?" The titanosaurian looks behind her, "Oh sorry, I thought I sensed Zilla's grandkids." The other speaks, "Hmm, really? I don't see a reason for them to come here alone." The first Titanosaurian speaks, "I wonder how they're doing. They look so malnutrition I can't help but worry." She steps out of the cavern and the second follows behind her.

The second Titanosaurian is just like her but had stripes, "Even so, Zilla said her youngest(Nytri) left with her grandkids to return to Eradth." The first glances back chuckles, "Hahaha, Little one (Nytri) said it's called Earth and there're people like her there." The second rubs his chin, "Oh….then they must be starving if they're all as small as her."

Isa grits her teeth in thought, "No one on earth grows to be freaking huge like you!" Isa calms herself, "Be cool be cool, if I let myself get caught now, I won't make it out of here in a week." The 2 Titanosaurian walk on conversing. Isa looks at them, "The clan can camouflage, gotta be careful." She gets back into the vehicle and drives around the place.

Isa gets back on track and continues. Her speed is lower than before since this time of day is when the Titanosaurian tend to hunt and wander around. Isa looks at the radar, "The worst people to meet are the kids." Isa continues.

Back at the border, the Azurians are waiting. They've set up camp and roasted meat the size of a mountain, yes mountain behind them. The people from the MR-Vessel are amazed by this sight. Basically, you walk to the giant limb and take what you can eat. People seemed to level up from eating, even if it's only just 2 levels after first bite. It does take longer to level up they grow.

Ophelia is with Peregrine and they share a seat enjoying their meal. Ophelia grips her spoon, "I want to see Nytri, but they won't let me." Peregrine pats her on the back, "Don't worry, I'm sure she's alright. They said she's recovering so if we get close her immense mana will affect us for some mutation thing."

Tyna Lei is a bit far from the group on a cliff, Agreth walks to join her, "The sky here is truly beautiful, isn't it." Tyna Lei gets up and looks behind her to see him, "Yes, it's a sight to behold." Agreth sits beside her, "Looks like everyone is worried about Nytri, though why did you come this far?" He glances at the group in the distance.

"The Azurians said it's safe here," Tyna Lei points to the distance, "The Xenos are patrolling that far out." Agreth nods, "Mmm." Tyna Lei hugs her knees, "I always thought Nytri was exaggerating when she spoke of this place….If you're weak, nothing but death awaits you."

Agreth smiles looking at the stars, "The first time I saw Nytri, I was shocked beyond reason. I saw a little girl challenge a monster I gave my blessing to. Then this little girl appears from nowhere, weak and frail. Yet she outsmarted the monster and won, she even had the leisure to sit around and watch it struggle." Agreth picks up a rock, "I watched over her in my dungeon, saw her overcome obstacles that would be impossible for a human alone, let alone a child. But she did."

Tyna Lei looks at Agreth and he continues, "What was obvious about her is,... her tenacity and quick thinking. I don't believe it's about strength, I doubted strength as I watched her. I saw my shortcomings, my vulnerabilities, my weaknesses." He chuckles, "Hihihi, you know, Nytri's strength is hiding her weaknesses. She covers it so perfect that she looks invincible, that is what true strength is."

Agreth flings the stone, "The creatures her are mighty, but that doesn't mean you can't reach their level. You have to be like Nytri, be determined and think. 'Anything impossible, is a possibility with a missing variable' Kael said, "Find the missing variable and you'll reach the stars."

On another side of the camp, Paxius is sitting with Lyra gazing at the stars. Lyra glances at Paxius giggling as they convers, "Hihihih. Paxi?" Paxius looks at her and Lyra speaks, "How did you know mum had won?"

Paxius grins, "A hunch." Lyra looks at him confused and he speaks, "When I use to spar with Nytri, I always felt when she had won." Lyra giggles, "You mean when you lost?" Paxius laughs, "Hahaha, yes. The little brat always came up with something new everything, I couldn't predict her. Yet deep down, I believed, that she'd won."

Lyra looks at the stars, "I want to be like mum…..I want to have little mes and yous scampering around." Paxius hugs Lyra, "I'd like that." He kisses her forehead.

On another side, Quentin is walking towards Tristan who's sitting with his Father playing a video game…..in such a place. Quentin stands behind them, "Sir….." They glance at him and he continues, "I want you to train me, I want to-" Tristan cuts in, "You know there's no way in a million years to reach their level right?" He points at the Azurians.

Quentin feels the words stab him then he shook his head, "Even so, I know you need strength to protect my family and friends." Ragnar (Tristan's father also demi-god) grins, "I noticed how you held that young lass, Juniper's hand. Are you sure it's not to protect her alone."

Quentin blushes and Tristan chuckles, "Hahaha, don't worry Quentin. It's alright to fight for those you love. That's what being Azurian is." He glances at Quentin, "However, I may not have a lot of time to teach you personally. Would you still like to be my disciple?" Ragnar raises a brow surprised.

Quentin nods and bows, "I'd be grateful if you'll accept me." Juniper is a bit far off and notices Quentin with the principal and a bearded man who looks just like the principal. She sees it to be a moment so she waits for him to finish their conversation before approaching him.

Days went by like this, then suddenly a portal opens before them. Isa walks out, "Hohohoho, guess who made it!" she points to the sky making a pose. The Azurians chuckle at her antic. They pack up and the people board the MR-Vessel, they set of through the portal.
