The next day, Igaris set off for the capital in Roxanne's lightning mech, Dorothy.
It was a gleaming white machine with a polished interior, spacious enough to comfortably hold a family of three.
Dorothy soared through the skies, piercing clouds and shattering the sound barrier with thunderous sonic booms.
Inside, Isadora laughed and cheered, her eyes wide with wonder as she clung to her brother's side, enjoying the breathtaking view.
Massive trees passed beneath them, then mountains, then winding rivers.
After two full days of nonstop travel, they finally reached the outskirts of the Capital City: Oracle.
But they didn't enter the city directly.
Instead, they landed near a rugged mountainous terrain overlooking the city from a distance, watching in silence as the vast metropolis stretched before them.
The sun was setting, casting golden light over the skyline, and the chirping of birds echoed through the valleys—returning home for the night.
