The low buildings of the densely populated city of Tromines, the capital of the colony on the planet Erhint under the blue star of Priolta, flashed underfoot. He chose the nearest exoplanet with the help of clairvoyance and risked moving to such a long distance.
Lariel enjoyed flying over a landscape he had never seen before. Purple foliage and grass added a unique touch against the turquoise sky.
This feeling of freedom of movement caused an amazing explosion of emotions. The journey captivated him so much that he completely forgot about the dangers that awaited him from the local authorities.
While flying, he suddenly noticed that one syrinx was chasing him, threatening him with a beam weapon and demanding to land. Lariel could have disappeared instantly to avoid problems, but he wanted to communicate with the locals, and he dutifully went down to one of the flat roofs. A white-winged warrior in a helmet, dressed in an armored uniform, without lowering his weapon, approached him with a menacing look.
"Who are you? Where is your transport?"
It was noticeable that the Erhintian was shocked by the invasion of the grey-winged syrinx.
"Lariel from the planet Zaria, star of Ruah, on a peaceful visit."
"Officer Noeri, air border guard of Erhint. Where is your spaceship, alien?"
"I don't need a ship, I am Archont and can teleport," Lariel declared proudly. "I'm here for tourist purposes, put down your weapons."
The officer froze in complete confusion at his words. His bright green eyes pierced through, trying to find out the truth.
"Teleport? Only Rohen has this ability. So you are his vassal? You still must appear before our Ruler. No one is supposed to be here without the knowledge of the authorities, not even a powerful magician. We have a military regime and all borders are closed to free visits."
Noeri put his weapon away, not taking his eyes off the newcomer.
"Okay, I'll follow you if it's necessary," Lariel agreed.
Ruler Danryo peered for a long time at the unexpected guest with a bright appearance and a strong magical field. Only white-wings lived on his planet, and no one had the status of God among the million population. They had recently welcomed the Phoenix Rohen with open arms as a supernatural being, having received invaluable help from him in the fight against enemies, and no one could imagine that someone else extraordinary would show up to them.
"How is it possible to achieve the status of Archon?" Danrio asked incredulously in a long conversation, receiving a guest in the spacious, gloomy throne room. "Are you that close to the Overlord?"
"Rohen is able to reward with magic for faithful service," Lariel smiled mysteriously, turning to a woman luxuriously dressed in a blue patterned dress who entered the hall.
Her lush red hair was pulled back into an intricate hairdo, adorned with rainbow crystals. She stared at Lariel in amazement with her burning amber eyes.
"Queen Aranxia!" The Ruler introduced her. "Lariel from the planet Zaria came to visit us."
"Yes, I see!" The bright lady was sincerely delighted. "So much strength and beauty in one man! Is that possible?"
She smiled flirtatiously and moved closer to him.
"Nothing compares to your beauty, Queen!" Lariel began his win-win flirting, flashing a charming smile.
He stood in front of her and kissed her hand.
"You have very unusual vibes. It seems to me that you are Lamori?" The Queen whispered, feeling a surge of strong lust for her new acquaintance.
"It's me!" Lariel answered mockingly, not taking his eyes off her.
"Oh! How interesting!" She perked up, slightly embarrassed. "I thought such syrinxes only live on Xantari, and you are a Zarian! And how many of you are there?"
"We have a small population, but we have a couple of Archons."
Danrio and the Queen looked at Lariel with undisguised admiration.
"Who are they?"
"Kamily, Adivaris."
"Is Commander Adivaris with you?" Aranxia was surprised. "We've met before."
The extravagant Queen ate with the eyes of the guest.
"Yes, he now lives in my city with the lost princess Luanlia."
"Oh, really!? Yeah, I recalled! He finally found her. He looked for her
everywhere, poor thing, he couldn't forget."
She continued to look at him flirting.
"Do you want to show me the palace?" Lariel decided to act, sending her an inviting look.
Aranxia joyfully extended her hand to him and said passionately:
"Really want to!"
