Chapter 429: Strange World Part Two


    Alicia and her groupnded on the ground of the forest. The lush greenery and the sounds of animals could be seen and heard all around. Sta walked forward and twirled around, taking in a deep breath. "This is the first time I could feel so rxed in a forest. I do not feel thousands of eyes gazing at me as if I was a meal waiting to be pounced on."


    "Manys have this same feel. Before I came to be on Phantasia, I lived on Earth where the forest was the same. This feels very peaceful. Sadly it is right in the path of those who are invading. And I do feel a source of powering from somece on this world. Where this source is I do not know. But one thing is for sure, the people of this world are strange indeed. It feels like this was tucked away so that no one would think to look this far out into space away from a sun, for a with a habitable ce to live. I wonder what they were trying to escape from. Although this is the border of the inner worlds so it may be they were trying to escape the fate of a previous culling of resources..." Alicia tried to make sense of it all. But in the end, she knew this was all just her own spection.


    "Whatever the reason is this ce is still beautiful." Rose said as she looked around.


    "Are we going to fly to where there is civilization?" Loeri asked.


    "No We won''t have to..." As Alicia said these words she pointed up into the sky where two strange machines were flying overhead. "They wille to meet us. The reason Inded here was to stay out of the popted areas so that we did not seem like a threat. With the technology of this world, I am sure they detected us as soon as we entered the atmosphere or maybe even before that." Alicia exined.


    "That''s strange I did not sense those machines at all." ke frowned. He really did not notice the machines until Alicia had pointed them out.


    "This is why I said their technology was strange. It is like they created a form of stealth that can hide from our senses unless we directly look at them. I was barely able to pick up on the fact that there was actually a civilization here with my divine sense." Alicia could only hope that those who came were not hostile in any shape or form.


    No more than an hour passed when arge ship floated overhead. It was shaped like an elongated triangle and silently hovered there making no sounds. Alicia could not detect what kind of energy was powering it but it was not something she had run into before. A beam of white light shed from the bottom of the ship that reached the ground. What appeared were two humanoid figures that seemed to have more insect qualities to them than anything. They had multiple upper limbs and pointy ears along with antennas protruding out of the top of their heads.


    There was one male and one female.Alicia could only assume that that was their gender from their looks. It was the female looking humanoid who stepped forward and asked: "What brings you to our humble?"


    Alicia looked at the humanoid woman for a second, after feeling no hostility towards her Alicia finally put on a smile and said: "Curiosity mostly, We do apologize if we caused any harm to your world. We were just curious as to why a with so much life was able to survive so far out from its sun."


    "I see You are not with them from the inner worlds?" The humanoid woman asked.


    "Not at all Actually, my homeworld is further away from the border area than yours. My name is Alicia Gabriel stine, The Crown Princess of stine from the Phantasia." Alicia said, giving a small bow.


    Alicia''s introduction seemed to have shocked the humanoid woman but she quicklyposed herself. "Pleasee with us. We will need to verify that you are not a threat to our world or our people."


    Everyone in Alicia''s team looked at her to see how she would respond but to their surprise, Alicia smiled faintly and said: "Of course, but I must ask if we are to be separated may my daughter stay with me?"


    Alicia knew there was no point in trying to hide Frey since they probably already knew she was in the pocket behind her breastte. Luckily the humanoid woman smiled and nodded her head. "Don''t worry, your group will all stay together. This is just a procedure we have to take in order to make sure you are not with them."


    "Then please lead the way." Alicia said with a smile. She felt a bit more rxed now that she knew Frey could stay with her. If they had tried to take Frey away from her she would have sent everyone into her space then would have used thew of time and space to warp away from this world. She would not risk Frey''s life on an unknown even if Frey was not scared. Her daughter may be powerful but she was still her daughter.


    "Then please step into the light, it will transport you onboard the ship. There is a special scanner on the ship that will tell us if you are part of the Bolusion race."
