4.12

In the span of a day, I had been kidnapped twice. 

The carriage had gone through a circle of light a short while ago and we were now in a completely different landscape. Gone were the tall thick woodlands, the area around us was arid, dry, and desert-like with mountains. 

This was nothing like the area I had first been kidnapped in.

"We're home," Lux jumped up from his seat and opened the carriage door, then spun on his heel to outstretch his hand to help me down. 

Carefully I went down the step, begrudgingly taking his hand whilst balancing Chipe in the other.

A row of servants stood outside a tall building. A skyscraper. 

Alarmed, I looked around the street to find that, although different, it greatly resembled the Earth I knew. Only it was more... strange.

"Welcome home your highness, how was your visit North?" A middle-aged man stepped forward, dressed like a butler.
