Chapter 20: Exciting experience
Once Damien left the hospital's walls, he expected to see a spectacular world filled with magic and creatures, but now that he was outside, he wasn't sure if he had even left the human world.
The people in Gibbous looked just like humans.
If it weren't for some of them having unusual eye colors, or showing off their magic or horns to their healing kids, he wouldn't have been able to tell the difference between them and humans at all. Not to mention how the hospital's design itself looked exactly like the one back home.
The only difference was the car park.
Instead of cars, there were large stone arcs in each space a car could fit in, glowing different shades of colors with red and green signs placed above each of them. Damien soon noticed that the people entered the hospital grounds from the stone arcs with green signs on them, and exited from the ones with red.
As for how they did that, well, they just walked into the portals as if entering a door that leads straight home. Next to each arc was either a man or a woman dressed in what looked like the nurse's uniform as they guided the people around the portals and the hospital.
'This looks like a bus terminus,' Damien thought just as he and Ahara drew closer to Eden.
Four men dressed in black were stationed back to back around her in a square formation, their faces hidden behind masks. The moment the two facing them saw Ahara and Damien coming closer, their hands swiftly moved to their weapon-filled belts.
Ahara immediately stilled, stopping Damien in his tracks as she stared directly at them.
"Are you sure you talked to the real princess?" Ahara whispered under her breath.
She wasn't even done speaking before Eden waved at Damien, her grin widening. Her guards immediately withdrew their weapons.
