As they flew to Acrin, X'herin informed Yamcha everything about his people and culture. From the heart of the planet, Nexolar down to his family history. The seven cities of Covexis were Denia, Saaracose, Benimis, Cagain, Xitrese, Obecoh, and Acrin -the capital city.

In all honesty, he's never been to an alien planet before. Living among them is completely different from actually being on their planet. At least to him anyway.

« We are here, friend» said X'herin « Welcome to Acrin».  Yamcha could only stare in awe at the beautiful and enormous city ahead of him.

The city had a round metallic wall that was low towards the entrance and high to the other end. The buildings were a mixture of a smooth silver-colored metal, some type of white stone and gold colors. There was a market place mixed with houses of some kind right in the center. Around it were tall buildings and round structures, but at the very top-where the wall reached his highest was the castle.
An inner wall surrounded the castle and its court yard. It was the brightest of all the buildings in the city and the one with the most gold.

This was unlike anything Yamcha had ever seen. They landed at the front gate of the city where two guards stood on each side. They walked a straight line through the city straight on to the palace. While on the way, the citizens were cheering and clapping. They shouted things like ' Hooray!'

' Praise to the king and our brave defenders!'

Or

' Another glorious victory!' and such. Yamcha could understand every single one of them through the Nect.

The warriors were smiling with pride at the praise and waved to the crowds. They didn't seem to notice the stranger following close behind.

They eventually made it to the palace gates, that way  to let them in. The palace guards and staff in present in the courtyard looked suspiciously and whispered to each other about the new comer.

X'herin and Obick congratulated and dismissed the men home to their families. " This is all so different " Yamcha mumbled to himself, "I've heard what the others told me about visiting other planets, but I don't think any of those could hold a candle to what I've seen so far". 
X'herin and Obick turned to him, « Why thank you, I take pride in our home. Come, there is someone I would like you to meet » said X'herin. Yamcha only nodded and followed the two men.

The palace was constructed with polished white, black, and silver colors, with hints of gold. There where many pillars and other unfamiliar but beautiful decor that adorned the halls and walls.

While they were walking, a handful of servents by the looks of it walked up X'herin. His armor shifted and deconstructed into a small device. Yamcha could only see a glimpse of the device as he passed it one of the maids from behind X'herin. One maid gave him a decorative bright red jacket with two black lines going down the front of the robe. It was arm length and tight fitting with a gold sash around his waist and a black cape with gold shoulder plates. He briefly thanked them as they quickly departed. 

They walked into what appeared to be the throne room. Standing by the throne, was a tall woman with her back turned to them. The moment she heard footsteps she turned to them and smiled.

Yamcha just stood frozen in place.

The very moment he made eye contact with her; he thought his heart would bust out of his rib cage.

Old familiar fear of women started creeping up his body as he just......gawked at her like an idiot.

She was the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes on. He felt so corny saying that even in his head but it was the honest truth. He swore on Dende that in all of his existence he  had never seen a woman more than beautiful than this one.
