Ria brought her tool boxes magic spell notes and some chemicals and seeds. Maya had no need to bring any stuff as she had portal magic. She had a pen with her to cast spells . Shia was not prepared much last time as she was not fully aware about her powers. She brought some tools and solutions . Shia, Ria and Maya disguised themselves and packed their stuff. Maya had brought nothing so she opened portal and packed her stuff.
Maya opened the portal, she ,Ria and Shia entered into portal and reached the kingdom of thunder.
Maya disguised herself into a merchant lady, Shia disguised into a rich girl and Ria disguised as Shia's sister and a rich lady.
Since Maya had dwarves ears she had to hide those. She covered her head with a long scarf and did magic to change her face.
Ria asked about the city. Maya told them, since the former royal family disappeared and new queen took over the throne the city people have to suffer from high taxes, loot, theft, and being treated. Girls were getting married to save themselves from corrupt officials and troops. The trade has been deteorated and people are dying from hunger.
Shia asked does queen know about these situations. Maya said yes, she know everything but not doing anything on purpose. Because she wants to destroy the kingdom. After invasion she came back and took over throne . Her sister ( former queen)and her daughter disappeared she started hating people of this kingdom. After invasion people of kingdom of thunder got brutally killed and the king was put into jail for years. Shia asked so the queen is taking revenge?. Ria was surprised to know the story. She asked when that invasion happened?.Maya told her around few years ago the war took place. Shia said "we need to find a place to stay and to make status".
Ria asked Maya about most famous and nearest place to the palace. Maya said there is no way anyone could make a house near palace, the queen will take no time to burn that. Land around the palace is empty and deserted by people. Only queen and palace people can live there.
Shia asked Maya have you ever visited palace. Maya said she once visited palace but do not clearly remember as she was a baby at that time.
All of them were searching for a housing agency when they saw a man getting beaten by few people at the crossroads. He was old and looking poor. Shia saw him and tried to stop people but a woman pulled her backwards and told Shia not to interfere. She later told that it was the order of high ranked officials to beat him as he did not gave extra money to the officer.
Shia could not stand injustice and she stopped people beating that old man. A man sneaked out and informed officer who ordered to beat that men. While Shia was walking at the crossroad guards caught her and took Maya and Ria with them. They took Shia to that officer's office .
The officer talked to her impolitely and tried to threaten her.
Maya and Ria were also caught by those guards. Maya was angry and wanted to attack but she controlled her anger after looking at Shia.
Although. Maya stopped herself from attacking but Ria did not stopped herself. She cracked backwall of office and almost ruined the roof of the office. She was controlling her windbeeds to attack, while being tied with the rope.
Shia knew that in no time Ria was going to destroy the office but she silently gestured Ria that she was going to distract those corrupt officials. She looked at Maya and made sign of portal.
Maya understood Shia's plan and was ready to escape.
Shia distracted officials and Ria slowly opened Maya's rope. Maya did not wanted to use her fire powers as they could get noticed by people as outsider.
As Maya's hands untied she drew a pattern and spell something and the pattern spread under the feet of Maya ,Shia and Ria
Maya secretly opened a bottle and the dust made them sleep. All of them scaped and entered into a posh area. This area was nearest to capital.
Maya, Ria and Shia changed there dresses and went to an agency. They bought a villa to stay.
Maya said although we have leased villa to show our wealth but we need to start trade in order to reach palace.
Ria had some experience of trade so she recommended clothes trade. As no women could resist their love for clothes, not even queen.
The villa they leased was a bit dusty as no one bought or leased that for years. Maya said if her sister would be with her she could have cleaned whole villa in a snap, she missed her. Shia agreed and smiled. Ria asked Shia why she was smiling?.
Shia moved backwards lifted her hand and made a tiny tornado and aimed it towards home. She uttered something and the house was cleaned.
Ria eyes widened and she was shocked. Maya was surprised too.
Shia! how did you do that?.
How? it's impossible.
Maya concluded that Since Shia had thunder powers she may had other related powers too. She calmed Ria and asked Shia about her doubt.
Shia told Maya that she even do not know her true potential. But she was working on it.
Ria remembered that day when she saw utensils floating in air behind her, when she was in the kitchen.
All of them prepared their rooms . since they were so tired ,they lied on couche.
They started talking about what they did with that corrupt officials. Ria said "I should have not let that person go that easily .
Maya said "you might have let him go but I did not spared him. My spell is going to haunt him for many days unless or until he does not commit his confession and stop doing corruption ".
Shia fell asleep while talking so Ria and Maya did not disturbed her and they also went to sleep.
