"Are you ready to go? We are about to head towards Jorgen. " Alan asked Alice while she was still relaxing on the oddly comfortable bed stuffed with feathers.

 "I"m coming, your beds are so comfortable though I could lay here forever and still be happy. " Alice replied slowly rolling to her side to get off the bed.

 Stretching her arms she used the Monarchs Ring to change back into her normal clothes which surprised Alan and amazed Sora who had just walked into the room.

 "WOAH!! That"s so cool! Can you teach me to do that?! " Sora said, running up to Alice who smiled and kneeled down to rub her head.

 "Maybe when you get older and do your best as Nyx"s follower I will find a way of teaching you how to do it. " Alice replied with a smile curious what Sora"s element was now that she thought about it.

 "What is Sora"s Element? " Alice asked while looking at Alan.

 "We do not know yet, she has not been tested yet. The test for kids is kind of expensive so we have not had the chance to do it. Only royalty and n.o.bles have their kids tested since it usually costs 1 Gold. " Alan said, feeling bad he hasn"t been able to get his baby girl the test.

 "Just that much? I could pay for her test if you want. " Alice said, digging into her storage and pulling out a few gold coins and offering them to him. "Consider this a payment for treating me so well and an investment into the future of Sora. "

 "I can get the test now? " Sora asked curiously, seeing Alice hand her father the money.

 "It would seem so.. " Alan replied baffled by how casually she was able to pull out that much money and just hand it over.

 "Yayyyyy! " Sora said happily, giving her father a hug and running off outside to tell her sister and the others the good news. 

 "Are you really sure it is okay to give me this much money? " Alan asked, still looking at the 3 gold coins she had given him.

 "I have a few holy coins, this much is not a problem,"" Alice replied with a smile before leaving the house to join the others.

 Pausing a bit and putting the money away Alan started to wonder just who Alice really was, while an envoy would normally have money having more than one holy coin is something not many could ever hope to see. 

 "Is it true that you are paying for Sora to get her Elemental tests? " Hara asked curiously while trying to keep Sora from running around too much.

 "Yeah, I just gave Alan three gold coins. Think of it as a gift from Nyx if you want. " Alice replied, playing the role of envoy.

 "Maybe I should have gone with Nyx as well.. " Hara said a little louder than she realized.

 "Don"t you think our G.o.d will be mad if he hears those words? " Joey said, giving her a nudge causing Hara"s face to go pale realizing she just said that out loud.

 "I am sure that Nyx would be happy to have you, but you should stick with the G.o.d you serve for now. " Alice replied with a smile as Sora ran up to her and held onto her hand.


 "Alright, since everyone is ready I guess we should get going. " Alan said, getting their mounts ready.

 "What are those? " Alice asked curiously, looking at the weird feathery creature on two legs.

 "These beasts are called Tular, they might look like a bird but they have no wings. However there is no faster mount around, we should be able to reach Jorgen shortly after nightfall riding them. " Joey said walking over and jumping on the back of one.

 "Daddy can I please ride with Alice? " Sora asked, pulling on Alan"s sleeve and looking hopeful.

 "You don"t want to ride with me this time? " Alan asked, looking a little sad.

 "Nooooo, I wanna ride with Alice! " Sora replied with more sas than her father was used to.

 "Fine.. " Alan said, feeling defeated.

 Helping Sora sit on the Tular with her seated in the front Alice felt a little sorry for Alan who just wanted his daughter"s attention.

 "So are there normally any monsters or dangers we need to watch out for on the trip? " Alice asked curious what other monsters would be in the area and along their path since Sora was with them.

 "Normally yes but since we are riding on Tular we should be fine since if something does try to attack the Tular will just speed up until they lose the thing chasing them, plus you are here so I think we should be pretty safe. " Hara replied pointing out how fast they were going.

 "I guess that is a good point. " Alice replied over Sora who was holding her mouth open and humming into the air.

 "Close your mouth Sora or you"ll end up swallowing a bug! " Hara yelled out trying to get her attention.

 After chatting and riding for a few hours Alice and the group finally came into view of Jorgen. To her astonishment Jorgen was almost eight times the size of Samaria with outer walls that looked like they were only decoration since she was able to see into the Kingdom clearly as it towered over its walls. 

 "You see the towers on the left side of the Kingdom? That is where the various churches are and that will be where we are going. " Alan said after seeing Alice"s eyes wide in shock from the sight of Jorgen. 

 "Is the black one Nyx"s church? " Alice asked curiously.

 "That would be Osia"s Church, Nyx"s would be the one next to it. " Alan replied again as they got closer to the entrance to the Kingdom.

 Looking over to the side of the black church she was able to see one slightly smaller but made out of a material that looked like it was devouring the light around it causing it to look like it was in the shade.

 "HALT! " A guard which had scales over his arms and small curved horns on his head said loudly as they approached the Gate. 

 "What kind of race is he? " Alice thought to her self quietly.

 "Who do you think you are racing to the gates like this huh?! " The horned man said looking angry.

 "I think I am racing to see your mother you old b.a.s.t.a.r.d! " Alan retorted causing Alice to dart her head his direction wondering what in the world was wrong with him for saying something like that. 

 "Haha, we both know my mother would love to see you again Alan. So what brings you here today? " The guard said with a smile shaking Alan"s hand as he got off the Tular.

 Seeing the sudden change of direction in their conversation Alice sighed in relief knowing they were not going to fight. 

 "I have brought some things to sell as well as I am getting my daughter tested today if possible! " Alan replied proudly. 

 "Hey Alan.. What do you mean you are getting her tested? Did you become a bandit? My mother really will eat you if she hears about this. " 

 "Relax Jack, I am doing no such thing. It was a gift from Nyx"s envoy here, she was the one who provided the funds for my daughters test. " Alan replied happily while pointing Alice out who was helping Sora get off the Tular. 

 Grabbing Alan"s arm and bringing him out of earshot from the others in his group Jack looked serious, "Alan you know I trust you but you should know that Nyx already has an envoy. That person is even here in the Kingdom. Have you ever heard of there being two envoys for one G.o.d? " 

 "I know that you are right, but that little girl has proven herself to at least be highly blessed by Nyx. I think she might be some n.o.ble"s daughter or royalty. She gave me three gold coins and mentioned having some holy coins on her person. Who else would have that much money on them? " Alan replied in a hushed voice.

 "I guess you are right, I will let the guards know not to cause trouble for her until we determine her ident.i.ty. " Jack replied before giving Alan a hug and walking back over to the others.

 "Sorry about that, I just had to talk with Alan here for a bit about some family stuff. Please enjoy your stay inn Jorgen! " Jack said motioninng for the other Guards to open the gate to let them all in. 

 "What was all that about? " Alice asked curiously knowing the conversation was not about family. 

 "I wouldn"t worry about it, anyway would you like to follow us to the Mage"s Guild to get Sora registered for her test? After that we plan to head to Nyx"s church and have her try to gain her first blessing. " Alan asked.

 "Plea.s.seeeee come Alice! " Sora said holding her hand and trying to pull her closer to their group. 

 "I would love to join you! " Alice replied happily.
