26

Lundria was far different from Dria for many reasons. There were no borders, no gates, and no separate kingdoms. Air, Fire, Water and Earth all worked together to form one Kingdom with each of the qualities.

There was only one palace but it was four times the size of a single palace. A garden surrounded the palace along with a river, walls of fire separated it from the rest of the Kingdom and the palace was slightly hovering above the ground.

There were different areas in which Embers, Aquas, Edens and Skyes (the new names of the citizens) could use their expertise to help the others do something. There were water parks, forests, sky diving and zip lining facilities, and volcanoes and fire mazes.

Everything about the land seemed peaceful and gorgeous. Lynn was almost disappointed when she woke up shivering in Dria. But her disappointment quickly dissipated upon realising she wasn't in a familiar area.

"Good morning," a girl sitting beside her bed grinned. She had medium length, curly white hair, grey eyes and translucent skin. Lynn immediately gathered she was from the Air Kingdom.

"Morning," Lynn responded uncertainly. "Who are you? And am I in the Air Kingdom?"

She nodded happily.

"The best Kingdom to exist," she joked. "I'm Rain. Who are you? Guess you aren't from around here."

"I'm Lynn, and I guess I'm now the Water Queen."

"Water Queen? As in, you are an Aquidan? That's so cool! My brother's a Skidan."

"Your brother? As in... Hail?"

"You know him? How?"

"I keep on having visions linked with him."

"Really? He said the same about you."

"Not surprised... Do you know where he is?"

"Oh yeah, he's currently in the lounge. I think he's either watching a movie or teaching Rainbow some tricks."

"Rainbow?"

"His Air Tiger. She's so cute."

"I see... And where exactly is this lounge?"

"Follow me," Rain beamed, pulling Lynn out of the bed she had been sleeping in and down the corridors to the lounge.

Hail was sitting on the floor despite there being two couches and a couple of chairs around the room. In front of him was a white tiger, purring as he stroked it.

"Um, Hail?" Rain called her brother.

He turned around and, upon seeing Lynn, immediately stood up and approached them.

"Oh, uh, hi. I'm Hail. You probably already know that though," he uttered awkwardly rubbing his nape before outstretching an arm to shake her hand.

"I do. And I doubt I have to introduce myself but I'll do it anyway. I'm Lynn," she shook his hand with a soft smile. "Nice to finally meet you."

"I should leave," Rain smirked at them. "Come on Rainbow. Let's get you fed."

With that, she headed out.

"So, I see you've met my sister," he spoke awkwardly, inviting Lynn to sit on one of the couches with him.

"Yeah, she's really nice. She was in my room when I woke up."

"Was she? Did she say anything about anything I said to her?"

"Apart from the fact you saw me in a vision, no. Why?"

"Oh, uhm... Nothing." He cleared his throat awkwardly. "Are you hungry? You've been asleep for a while."

"Very," Lynn responded shyly.

"What would you like to eat?"

"What do you have to offer? To be honest, I think I'd be alright with anything at this point."

"I think there may still be waffles downstairs. If you like them, we could go down to get them."

"That would be perfect. Thank you," she smiled sweetly at him, causing him to blush.

"Uhm... I guess we should go now."

"Mmh," Lynn hummed. "These are the best waffles I've ever had! What do you put in these? Who make them?"

"I made them. It's my grandmother's old recipe. I could give it to you if you want."

"About that," she swallowed. "I can't cook, or bake. Heck, I can't even make two-minute-ramen. I'm a hopeless cause."

"Don't say that," he chuckled before disappearing into the kitchen, returning with a recipe book. "Pick anything you'd like to make from this book and I'll help you make it."

Lynn gulped down another mouthful of her waffles.

"I'll burn your kingdom down."

Hail shrugged.

"Dria's ending anyway."
