Chapter 81: So much luxury
"I will be out for a few days. Please keep the room clean and tidy until I am back." Aric spoke to the reception before leaving. He had come a long away from home because he needed to get away from people and that included his parents too.
Now he was here and he had already left Mira with his luggage. Since it was a high end hotel, his luggage wouldn’t be touched and even it was a high end hotel. He was a high end client at the moment so he was sure that nothing would happen to his belongings. And even if anyone took away his belonging they wouldn’t be able to access to Mira.
Aric walked into a huge mall and went straight for the toilet. But after entering the toilet, he didn’t come out at all. And nobody noticed that the boy never came out of the toilet. At least not on that day.

Aric was back in Echorysia and he had finally come out of the storage unit after a long stay there. Thankfully there were no aliens or humans operating it, or else they would have felt that they had seen a ghost. Who lived in a storage unit for such a long time?
After coming to the streets, he booked a taxi for the spaceport. The spaceport was a bit far so it would take some time to reach there. As Aric approached the towering structure of the interstellar spaceport, his eyes widened in awe. The main terminal, an enormous dome made of transparent hyperglass, allowed a panoramic view of the blue sky above. Sunlight refracted through the dome, casting shimmering patterns on the polished floor below.
As Aric walked through the automated sliding doors, he was greeted by the gentle and the soft murmur of travelers. Inside, the spaceport was a hive of activity. Holographic signs floated above, guiding passengers to various sections of the terminal.
"Welcome to the Echo Interstellar Spaceport." "Your gateway to the stars and beyond." Aric’s smartwatch vibrated gently, displaying a notification: "Flight IXS-233 to Vallin city departing in 90 minutes from Gate 17. Please proceed to security check."
He followed the arrows to the security checkpoint, marveling at the efficiency and technology in place. Instead of traditional metal detectors, there were sleek archways that scanned for prohibited items using quantum resonance imaging.
