Utopia-The Tale of The Worlds ✔️

Chapter 8:

"Ouch! Hey man! What was that for?!" Zed said as Lark smacks him on the head

"Please ignore him. He was born to talk stupid things." Lark said

"Hey! I was serious. Just because you want to spend the rest of your life being single, doesn't mean I have to!" Zed said as Lark glares at him and again hits him

"Like I said, ignore him." Lark said as he pressed a few buttons on the wall, a secret shelf appeared and he puts the suitcase inside it.

"Are you okay?" Azalea asked Zed

"Oh my god!" Zed said as he was about to hug Azalea but Wren pulls Azalea back

"Sorry, it's just that I've heard so much about you that I got excited. You're Azalea right?" Zed said

"Yeah." Azalea replied

"Are you really okay? Lark hit you twice." Aster asked

"Ah my caring angel! You're so kind unlike someone here who loves hitting others." Zed said as he sticks his tongue out at Lark

Lark glares at him again but ignores him.

"Moving on, we now know that they are after someone who knows how to open up a portal." Lark said

"So you're just gonna ignore me then?" Zed said

"There are three people left in all of three places who knows how to open a portal." Vile said

"Bryce, Azalea and Aster." Ashley said

"Oh." Aster said

"Don't worry my maiden, I'll protect you." Zed said as he winked.

"Don't worry. He's not normally like this. He's always in his office due to his job and he rarely goes out and besides me and one or two others no one comes to meet him, so he's just excited to meet you guys." Lark said, "Besides she doesn't need protection because I don't think they know about her." He added

"That's true. I mean, I am not an official portal opener. Except you guys and a few others, no one knows about me knowing how to open a portal." Aster said

"So then that leaves Bryce and Azalea." Vile said

"Only Azalea is left because the word he used was for a girl." Wren said

"But there is a question. What do they need all these crystals for? And why do they need a portal opener?" Ashley said

"The portal opener is definitely to travel to other places without having to go through the checkpoint." Zed said

"So that leaves the crystals." Vile said

"I need to talk to Uncle." Azalea said

"Do you think he will say something?" Zed asked

"He will have to." Azalea said

"So are you going to call him?" Ashley asked

"Well yeah." Azalea replied

"I don't think he's going to tell you something so top secret over the phone." Zed said

"So I can just go meet him." Azalea said

"No, I don't think so." Wren said

"Huh? Why?" Azalea asked

"It's best if you don't go anywhere. You heard what they want. Their target is you." Lark said

"It's best if you just stay here." Vile said

"That's true but..." Azalea said

"Okay then it's decided. You are to stay here. You can't leave the palace grounds no matter what." Lark said
