As Isadora yelled hysterically while descending toward the ground, Aurora instantly stretched out her hand and caught her on her palms before she could hit the ground.
Isadora calmed her racing heart and lay on the surface of Aurora's palm, looking at her shrunken form in disbelief before shifting her gaze to the world around her, which seemed to have been greatly magnified.
Suddenly, a loud voice thundered from above.
"Are you okay?" Aurora asked, her voice filled with concern as she looked at Isadora's dazed expression.
Isadora shifted her attention toward Aurora's immense figure and nodded slowly in response, "I'm fine. I was just a little overwhelmed," she replied, pushing herself up to stand.
"Sorry, it's my fault. I should have warned you earlier," Orion's voice sounded beside her. He stretched his hand for her to grab onto and pulled her upwards. "This is an innate ability of the Pixie race called 'Dust Morphosis.' It grants them the ability to temporarily alter the form of any living or non-living thing for a certain time limit," he added, explaining what had just happened to them after noticing Isadora's bewildered expression.
"An innate ability?" Isadora muttered to herself, nodding in understanding. Although she hadn't expected the Pixie race to have such a frightening innate ability, it only made her curious and interested in studying how it works. After all, every race has an innate ability, including the Four-eared Elves race.
"I'll wait for you all until you're done," Aurora said, smiling as she handed them over to the Pixie guards, who had arrived to hoist them into the air.
Orion and Isadora nodded in understanding as they watched Aurora turn around and depart after bidding farewell to High King Eldric, his wife and the other high-ranking officials.
…....….
Thirty minutes later
Orion sat with High King Eldric and High Queen Rowena in a small, private room, discussing recent events.
"It's good. I'm happy that there were no objections to my appointment," High King Eldric said, nodding appreciatively.
Any misconceptions he had about the key figures of the Orion Cities were swiftly washed away after hearing Orion's news, as his appointment as one of them proved that they didn't care about power or their positions; they only wanted the best for the Orion Cities.
High Queen Rowena placed her hand on her husband's arm, acknowledging that this was a milestone for the Pixie race. Thoughts of the late Aegis of the Arctic Deity crossed her mind briefly. 'If only Aegis of the Arctic Deity were still here,' she couldn't help but think before pushing those thoughts aside. She reminded herself they could achieve such a milestone because of Aegis of the Arctic Deity.
"Is there any additional news?" High King Eldric asked, curiosity evident in his voice.
Orion shook his head. "No, that's all," he responded.
"Okay, why don't I show you the way out then, Mr. Orion?" High King Eldric stood up with High Queen Rowena beside him.
Orion nodded, rising to his feet and following behind them as they exited the private room. As they walked down the hallway toward the private area where Isadora was waiting, they instantly noticed her standing outside the door.
Isadora immediately caught their attention and walked toward them. She bowed slightly to High King Eldric and High Queen Rowena before turning her attention to Orion.
"You've been waiting outside?" Orion raised a brow in curiosity.
"I felt uncomfortable waiting for you inside and decided to wait out here so we can leave as soon as you arrive," Isadora responded, her expression serious.
"You really have an amazing personal assistant, Mr. Orion," High Queen Rowena remarked with a smile.
She sensed a connection with Isadora but couldn't pinpoint the reason. Nevertheless, she trusted her instincts and aimed to maintain a good relationship with her, especially since Isadora was Orion's personal assistant.
Orion smiled at High Queen Rowena's words before turning to Isadora. "Well, our meeting is done, so we can leave now," he said, taking off into the air with the help of the Pixie wings on his back.
Isadora nodded and followed suit, rising slowly into the air with herownPixie wings.
"We'll take our leave now, your Highnesses. Hope to see you at our next meeting," Orion said as they both bowed slightly in response.
Then, he turned around and swiftly soared forward into the air.
Isadora also hurriedly followed behind him, gritting her teeth as she tried to match Orion's speed.
They soon emerged from the entrance hallway and exited the Canopy Castle.
…........
Before they exited the Garden, Orion decided to give Isadora a tour of the Pixie kingdom.
"It's incredible!" Isadora exclaimed, her eyes widening as she soared through the streets of the vast Pixie Kingdom below.
Having spent most of her time within the metal barriers of the 'Four-eared Lone Rabbit' Runaway City, with only a few scent refreshers and flowers to break the monotony, the Pixie Kingdom felt like a breath of fresh air. Houses and buildings nestled in trees or blooming atop them created a picturesque landscape. Her four ears seemed to have cooled down, no longer twitching as fiercely as before.
In fact, she could hear faint, soft whispers entering her ears, welcoming her or sharing seemingly trivial information. It didn't take her long to realize that these were the voices of the trees and greens around her, communicating through her race's innate ability.
Isadora let out a deep exhale, attempting to gradually calm the sudden euphoria coursing through her body. If allowed to relocate the entire Four-eared elves race to a place like this, she wouldn't hesitate to accept it.
"Isadora…" a familiar voice suddenly cut through her thoughts, returning her to the present.
She turned sharply toward Orion, who looked concerned as he looked at her.
"Are you okay? You've been behaving strangely since earlier today," Orion asked, raising a brow as he scrutinized her suspiciously.
DespiteIsadora'scountless confirmations that she was fine, it was difficult for him not to doubt her condition, especially with her fiercely twitching ears and now dazed appearance mid-flight.
