The cold, comfortable feeling hadn't changed.
Once they stepped into the nexus, a new world greeted them after the sudden maelstrom, but Nikolai couldn't help but frown.
"This isn't Al'Qutar..."
Princess Zara pulled away from Nikolai's arm before wrapping herself in front of him. He watched her delicate face as she smirked back at him.
"Ah, because of recent issues, most people have to visit a mediatory planet first."
"So we'll be stuck here for a while?"
Not that he minded.
This place was somewhat familiar to him. Another standard copy of the arena's plaza with several machines, shops and food vendors.
Clara watched the portal with wide eyes.
Unlike the main teleport, which carried a calming ocean blue, this emergency portal alternated between red, orange, and green.
"Are you interested in the portal, Sister Clara?"
"Mhm!"
"Then follow me, if you come here, you'll see even more colours."
Princess Zara took Clara's hand, pulling her to the main stage.
"W-Wait."
