Pandoria

Pandoria

So that's how we went.
It's been three days and nights now.
Still on the way to Pandoria, Jorvik was long behind us, as were Beruna and Terabethina's national borders.
But this was an almost unbelievable size!
So we came closer to our goal with difficulty.
Ino's exhausted voice pulled me out of my thoughts: "Sakura, can't we take a break?"
I wanted to speak again, but now Hinata also turned to me: "She is right, Sakura!"
So we stopped and took a break.
"What do you think the job is that Fripp told you about?"
Remain silent.
“I don't know, but I think it's going to be something different from our ninja missions! "said Temari.
And we all agreed with her.
So we rested a little before we set off again.

*** five days later ***

The gates of Pandoria lay before us.
Huge doors made of oak.
Three guards kept an eye out for enemies.
As we approached someone asked: "Who are you and what do you want?"It was more of a hiss than a question and yet I replied: "We are the guardians of the five elements and require entry to take an assignment!"
With each of my words he had shrunk a bit and finally spoke in a sugar-sweet tone: "That's how it should be."
And the gates of Pandoria were opened.
But none of us had expected what we saw.
A huge, splendid city.
This is what anyone who was here for the first time would call Pandoria.
But where should we go now?
I turned to my friends and asked: "Where should we go now?"
Neither had an answer, but that was unnecessary because just then a hand grabbed my shoulder.
"Are you Sakura?" I heard the rough voice of an old woman behind me.
I turned around with a questioning expression on my face and began to ask: "Where from ...?"
"Fripp"
A short and clear answer.
"Do we want to put down roots here or are you not exhausted?"Now her voice sounded friendly and we noticed how a leaden tiredness overcame us.
"Follow me, I'll take you to my house."
We followed the old woman across infinitely large marketplaces, through small, narrow alleys and across spacious streets.
And what we saw there was even more incredible!
Fire breathers, dragon riders, magicians, dwarves and much more.
Our tiredness?
Long forgotten!
And suddenly we stopped in front of a house.
House?
That was an understatement. Villa or palace were more likely to hit it!
The whole building was made of the purest marble, which didn't detract from the fact that it looked very impressive.
The old woman had probably seen our astonished faces and said, grinning: "We are there so do you want to come in now?"
What kind of question was that of course they wanted!
And so they followed the woman into the marble house.
"Um, I have a question, what's your name?" TenTen asked the old woman.
"Zahida, so if you want to rest then go up the stairs on the left, there you will find two bedrooms you have been prepared for you and there, she pointed to a large door opposite the entrance gate, is the dining room we will eat there in an hour then can I tell you everything you want to know! "And with these words she disappeared behind a door, also not exactly petty, and left us behind.
"Shall we go to our room?" Temari asked.
Everyone agreed and we went up the steps of the seemingly endless marble staircase.
After what seemed like an eternity we had finally reached the room and before anyone could say anything I grabbed Ino and disappeared with her into the two-bed room.
This also clarified the room layout.
"Tell me what is that supposed to mean?" Ino hissed at me.
I just replied: "With the best will in the world, I don't feel like listening to your and Temari's ranks all the time."
That sounded sensible and the blonde gave in.

***1 hour later***

We had already met and the five of us went down to the dining room.
As expected, it wasn't exactly tiny.
Zahida was already waiting for us.
We sat down and with Zahida's consent we started to eat.
It was delicious.
After this meal, Hinata turned to Zahida: "Do you know anything about our mission?""No, unfortunately I can't tell you anything but the day after tomorrow we'll be on our way to Princess Trianna, she'll be able to explain everything I don't know and tomorrow you'll be free."
And so they talked until late at night.

So, dear people, that's it again
I hope as always that you liked it and I'm really happy about picking it up!
