Chapter 80 - Groggy

Skylar opened his eyes and squinted suddenly as the blue light from a floating lamp above him is flooding his face.

"Seriously." He muttered and then rolled on the bed he is sleeping to another side on it, in other to avoid the strange blue light coming from the floating lamp the shape of a snare drum above him.

"Yami!!!..."

Lying face up, his hands brushing his hair and his eyes on the crystal glass roof through which a garden of vines seated on it can be seen; he shouted as if he is being electrocuted.

"Sky, you have woken up." In response to Skylar's very loud call, Yami peeked from the edge of the super large bed.

"How did i get here?" Skylar asked as he turned to his side and met Yami's eyes.

"You were drunk... You came back yourself. You even brought a super sexy mum with you." She stood up probably from a kneeing position, climbed the bed and crawled towards Skylar. "You were so bold. You brought her in a princess carry from the beach back home..."

"How on earth did i get drunk?" Suspicious, Skylar's eyes squint at Yami who is wearing a black ribbed long sleeved top and a black mini skirt, and who has almost reached him as she crawls towards him.

Yami did not respond right away. She reached Skylar first, lay next to him, and locks eyes with him. "You will have to ask your sexy mummy... Both of you were super drunk when you arrived. And you should thank Hana and Blue princess from our maternity center. They were the one that washed you and changed your clothes."

Skylar as he heard her last sentence looked at himself. He saw on his body an ash colored sweat shirt and a sweat pant of the same color.

Where are they getting clothes that fit me. Are they not anti-men, or are they keeping secrets from me. He thought as Yami playfully follows the movement of his eyes with hers. Then he closed his eyes, ignoring her child's play, and he delved into his mind.

"Goldie, are you there."

"Sky, what is it? I am on top of the building you know."

Hearing Goldie's reply in his mind after a quick sweep of the building and its peripherals with his perception, he stood up and jumped out of the bed, leaving Yami behind.

"Goldie, do you know how i got drunk." With Yami who is saying something he chose to ignore behind him, Skylar walked towards an open stained crystal glass door on the crystal glass wall located far behind the headboard of the bed in a majestic fashion—hands in his sweatpants pockets, head raised high and eyes squinted looking ahead confidently.

"Maybe it was the smell of it at first... But i saw you drink from the bottle yourself when that woman offered it to you after both of you woke up. You know?" Goldie answerd.

I see... This is definitely the first time i am getting drunk. This simulation has been taken a lot of my firsts. The first was randomly loosing consciousness, what next?... Probably loosing my mr v...

He thought then chuckled as he rub his brows with his palm. And from behind, Yami reached beside him, both walking side by side towards the door.

"Sky, are you okay?" Her shoulder to his pocketed arm, Yami asked worriedly.

"For how long was i sleeping?" Ignoring Yami's worried eyes and voice, Skylar asked Goldie in his mind, his hand that was rubbing his brows returning to his pocket.

"In your cycle, 18 hours."

As he heard Goldie's reply, he exit the room through the door which happens to be a balcony door, and then he steps on to the crystal glass floor of a very large balcony and his eyes caught a sight that made his eyes widened in awe.

"Wow! That ship is big and beautiful." He exclaimed and then starts to move closer to the wooden railings of the balcony that supports different kinds of flower vines in order to have a clearer view of the gigantic ship in the sky in the distance seemingly very close to the fenced lavender guild territory where he is.

"They are our neighbor, Blood guild. And their leader is a very interesting person. You will be very interested." Yami informed as she caught up to him.

Reaching the balcony with Yami beside him; Skylar watches as several mini flying ships transport sealed boxes from the enormous wooden ship painted in black and of sails made of red crystal glass sheet to a place he can't see at the back of a very big building below it. And the ship happens to be backdropped by three looming earthly stars.

"They are the only top faction in lavender that deal in information. And every other faction practically hates and likes them, including us... Today, they are your friend when you buy your enemy's secret information from them. And tomorrow they might be your enemy when they sell your secret to your enemy. A funny situation..." Yami paused and pushed against the round top of the wooden railing, her figure springing back as a result. Then she continues.

"Their leader sees Ila has a rival... Ahh!" She suddenly exclaimed in realization, her eyes doing the same- widening in realization. "That might be a thing of the past now since we have gone down by two ranks. But its a matter of time before we reclaim our supreme spot in the cosmos under a new banner. Hiihihi..."

Are they planning to rebrand their guild? Skylar glanced at Yami who is giggling as she pull and push the round top of the railing of the balcony she grips, her figure moving back and forth rhythmically in respect to it. "Yami, where is the nearest tower portal? I need to visit the tower."

Yami at Skylar question paused her swinging that is enabled by the railing, and excitedly after she let go of the railing, she grabbed Skylar's arm and tugged it. "Follow me, we have one here."

"Okay." Skylar complied and followed her lead with a feeling he is very familiar with coming from his hand held under her arm.

"Every safe base belonging to rank zero factions upward has at least one personalized installed tower portal..." She added, her arms locked with Skylar's as they return to the room they came from through the wide opened balcony door. "Luckily we have only fallen to rank zero and not completely out of the ranking... Our portal can still be used."

"We are lucky we didn't meet any of those stupid girls in the way. No one knows how they will react if they see a man, especially a man like you."

Yami voice echoed in a very large dome-shaped building made of glass, but wooden floor. The building located behind the building they came from- the executive building, has two mini wooden ships and a couple of wooden flying vehicles like flying boats, flying canoes and flying sailboats in it. And at the center of the building is the familiar and identical wooden tower portal enveloped in a faint pillar of light that ascends to the heavens of the safe zone and can only be seen when directly in front of it.

"This is our garage. Its supposed to be for flying vehicles only. But because of the unreasonable price of docking recently, we have to keep two of our mini ships here." She leads Skylar towards the tower portal at the center of the enormous circular hall. "We haven't even been using some of these vessels for a while now... We haven't been selling or buying from the tower and the other factions since the time we withdrew completely from our HQ..."

"What happened? What made you abandon your HQ?" Skylar's voice questioned, sounding like he doesn't understand her.

"Its quiet complicated." She pushed him from behind towards the tower portal, dodging the question. "Ask Ila about it, when she returns."

She added in a loud voice as she watches Skylar who has starts to make his way towards the tower portal.

Its a bit strange, they too are being bullied badly. Is it my luck or is it because of their potential.

But for moonlight guild, very few of them have a promising future, maybe there are more among the others i have not seen...

Skylar with thoughts in his mind absentmindedly climbed the wooden steps of the tower portal.

...A power capable of suppressing Ila and her guild shouldn't be something simple. And they must definitely have a very huge influence in the real world...

If i am ever going to find those guys and Goldie's mum, power hungry fools and bullies might stand in my way.

Skylar chuckled at his own thoughts, then broke into a faint smile.

Destroying them is going to be fun...

After nine seconds since he reached the top of the tower portal, his figure faded and vanished- teleported to the tower.
