Chapter 18






"Stay close to us" Daisy said before steeping through the portal .

Jay turned to me, "Ohhh daisy isn't the only race you haven't seen before, so try not to point or stare we don't wanna offend people? . . . " Jay informed me before also stepping through the portal .

Clenching my fist, I braced myself for the upcoming culture shock . We stepped out into an absolutely bustling city filled with many people, they all stopped in their tracks to look before carrying on with their lives . Pulling jay closer to me, "That's and orc!!!!! I said in absolute glee to him in excitement recognizing their green skin pointy ears and tusks .

"Yeah . . . okay . . . . . Calm down . . . . " he replied to me following our school .

It was so amazing, the city was filled with many different races exactly how I imagined in fantasy novels . There were dwarves, elves, gnomes, a race that looked exactly Daisy but had red skin and normal eyes, there was even a woman with pointy ears and two antlers growing out of her hair like a Stag, everyone going on their day like it's nothing special .

We arrived at what seems to be a city a square surrounding by buildings and stalls selling all kinds of small trinkets and jewellery . "Increased reports of more kidnapping over the night keep your doors and windows locked!!! . . . Sightings of increased goblin activity near the base of the mountains and nearby villages!!! . . . . "A man shouting while loudly ringing a hand bell .

"This can't be good . . . . " I heard Jay say to Daisy .

"Yeah . . . . I wonder what's causing them to leave the mountains . " Daisy responded .

"Guys is the news really bad???" I asked them, both excited and curious .

"It's abit bad, nothing to be worried about though I'm sure the King of Arcadia already has things planned . " Daisy answered .

I couldn't help but stare and look at everything in wonder . Everything was so different, different races and things walking along side each other, the architecture of the buildings the bustling city life . There was even a rock monster and a man with a giant ice white furred dire wolf following him .

We walked past a shop called Frank's Fantastic Gadgets and Gizmo's on the window display was various machines all doing different tasks, through the glass I could barely make out several objects all doing different things from glowing to flying and spinning . Walking through the city passing various building we eventually came to another town square filled with shop fronts .

"Children this is the Main Market Square, Please do not stray too far, if anything happens please report it to any prefect or myself . " The deputy head spoke out .





Jay and Daisy turned to me, "So what shall we check out first?" they asked .

"Defiantly clothes would be awesome, I haven't got any" I responded .

"Ohh? . . . I swear you wasn't wearing that yesterday" Jay asked .

"Scarlet borrowed me some clothes . " I said to them .


"She has nice taste" Jay added looking up and down and me .

"Don't even think about it" I pointed threatening him .

He held his hands up in innocence again . " I was merely admiring the clothing choice" he said innocently .

Daisy pulled his ear causing him to wince in pain "You need to be more respectful of women Jay . " She warned then letting go of his ear . Jay immediately started rubbing his ear in pain .

"Let's get going guys" she smiled .

We walked to the first shop in sight with clothes on display, walking in we were instantly assaulted with a strong sent of floral scents .

"Ohhhh new customers!!! Welcome Welcome!!! My name is Mavis!" a very flamboyant lady spoke out quickly walking towards us . "Such beautifullllll young girls… . . " she said grabbing me and daisy inspecting us . "You must tell me your names!!!" she said . "You young miss! Where are you from?! Your skin colour is absolutely beautiful!" she yelled at me grabbing both my arms . "And you! I've never seen a Tiefling with blue skin before! You must be extremely special" she said looking at daisy . Both daisy and I looked at each other in bewildered by her extremely colourful personality . "Ahhh the shy type not to worry, I'm sure I have everything you will need in this store! Follow me!" instantaneously releasing me and briskly walking around her shop picking out various pieces of clothing and leaving them on a table in a neat sets .

I began walking towards the outfits laid out on the table, each of them looks a bit extravagant, each with finely sewn details, "are they all hand sewn?" I asked curiously .





"Yes I sew them all myself!" The shop keeper replied with a smile . "Ohhh and I also make custom pieces if you want, but depending on what you need it may take between three days to one week" Mavis added .

Daisy quickly approached sticking close to me also began looking and feeling the pieces of clothing picked out of us . Looking back realizing that I totally forgot about Jay, he seemed completely lost, staring out of the window completely bored . "Ummm is there any way you can perhaps deliver these to Atlantis?" I asked politely .

"Umm yes, all you will need to do is tell them you have a delivery from me and they will allow me to deliver it to you" Mavis smiled .

"Could you just take our measurements? . . . . and just alter the clothing so it will fit and deliver it when you're ready? . . I don't want our guy friend over there waiting for us all day… . . " I questioned .


"Of course darling! What exactly would you like?" Mavis questioned .

"Umm let's just say 50 golds worth of clothes? anything you recommend . " I requested .

He mouth opened in shock, "Are you sure? . . . that's a lot of gold… . . " Mavis questioned .

"Ohh and we need undergarments as well if you can also provide them! Gold isn't an issue . " I asked with a smile .

"I'll have the batch done for you in a week!" She replied excited . "Come in the other room so I can take your measurements . " She requested .

"We will be a couple more minutes Jay . " I shouted to him following Mavis into the room .

He responded by smiling and nodding, and gesturing me to go . Daisy was surprisingly quite compared to her quite outspoken behavior earlier . We entered a large room filled with all sorts of fabrics and colors, jewels and accessories . In the corner laid numerable mannequins of different shape sizes and heights . "Sorry it's so messy in here" Mavis added .

"Not at all, do you make all your clothes here?" I replied

"Yes, I do most my work here, otherwise the kids will ruin anything I make at home . " She replied .





"Ohh you have kids?" I asked .

"Yes two boys and one girl, Zac, Tod and Grace, Grace offers to help but the other two are just pure devils" she laughed .

"Yeah boys will be boys!" I laughed with her, reminiscing on the times I used to babysit my nephew and niece .

She went to a draw and pulled out measuring tape, "Young miss let's start with you . " Mavis pointed at Daisy walking towards her .

Daisy quietly nodded and held her arms up . As Mavis began taking down her measurements, "So what's your name?" Mavis asked her breaking the silence .

"Daisy" she replied quietly .

"That's a beautiful name . " She smiled, "so you must be pretty special with your Light blue skin and golden eyes . " Mavis added politely .

"I'm not special, just a bit different because of my upbringing . " Daisy replied .

"Well darling everyone is special and different is good . " Mavis smiled, "Nothing to be nervous about, we're almost done . " Mavis quietly added .

'I noticed that Daisy was surprisingly quiet, but I wonder why she's so nervous . '

Noting down Daisy's measurements, she pointed to me to approach . "So what's your name?" she asked me while measuring my height .

"Emilia" I replied with a smile .

"Very nice name, where are you from?" she asked politely keeping the conversation going .

"Ohhh I'm from India, it's a country from another plane . " I replied .

She froze a little in shock "Another plane?" She asked curiously .

"Yeah, I'm a freshman in Atlantis" I smiled .

"Ohhh that's interesting" she replied as she began measuring my waist . "Where did you get this nice dress from? The material I have never seen or felt anything like this before . " She questioned .

"Ohh it's a dress from back home, it's made with a combination of materials . " I answered her .

"Ohhh that's very interesting" she replied finishing up my measurements and noting them down .

Reaching into the Bag of Holding and pulling out my pouch of gold . Mavis was a little shock at the Bag of Holding, "wow I've never seen one of those up close before" she said in shock .

"Yeah they seem pretty useful . " I smiled counting out 55 gold and handing it to her .

"Ohhh thank you very much!! I'll have them all done as soon as I can . " She smiled .

We began making our way back to the shop front, where Jay was still waiting by the same window for us .

"Thank you for everything . " I smiled as Mavis bidding her farewell .

"No No… thank you for the business, and if there's anything else you need clothing related, feel free to stop by . " she smiled waving .

Jay joined us as we made our way out the door .

"So where to next" I turned to them with a giant smile from ear to ear .
