Story Just a Little Time - Chapter 9

The convention ended. All the guests started going home, some even travelling half the world.

"Hey, Zachary. Capaflag's still recovering from the Civil War, you know? If you want, you could stay here a few nights until everything settles down there." Iris invited.

"Sure. It would be kinda nice to actually stay somewhere in Winterfell that isn't freezing."

"I don't even wanna know what'll happen next..." Deps commented. "Welp, I better be going. I'm supposed to be on peacekeeping duty in Capaflag until stuff calms down. Don't worry, I'll be meeting you again soon enough, Ender and company. And I'll be looking forward to that. Goodbye senpai! Oh, and here are some random words I learned when I was on Earth: Avant Hier, Avons Etrée, Deja Demain, Nous Sommes Ecláiree. I have no idea what they mean, but I heard them in a song. By the way, Iris, do you know where Uni is? He didn't show up here."

"He said he needed to 'Fix Uniland's Borders'" Iris replied.

"Crap... OK, gotta go. There have been enough wars east of Slivakia for the time being."

"Iris, do you know where we should go next?" John Smith asked.

"Uh, yeah, you should probably head for Mossoheim, then go to Nomieng, then head to Mezpa, followed by Elioh. Stay at Elioh for a bit to get ready for the next leg of the journey, then go to Menir, and after that Seviheim, followed by Ugani, then head over to Kuaku, where you should stay for a bit too. After that, take a boat to Flag, and you're there."

"Okey dokey."

They got to Elioh without much of importance happening.

In Elioh, they met a moose named Elliott, who also happened to be one of the guests at the archer convention. Elliott and Ender talked for a bit, before Lacy dragged them off to the next leg of their journey.

They gone through Menir and Seviheim without much happening, and then they arrived at Ugani. The contrast between Ugani and the previous cities was quite big, as Ugani seemed quite a lot more rural than Ender and Lacy were expecting, although the city's situation was no surprise to John Smith and Jack.

"Ugani seems quite... underdeveloped." Ender commented.

"Wait, is that a unicorn on a rampage? Ender, be careful."

"You think this is underdeveloped? Just wait until you see every other place in the region." Jack said.

"Well, we've been trying to fix the situation, but we just don't have the funds to do it. We also don't get a lot of turists, so you must be here for a reason." A man's voice said. "Oh, I nearly forgot to introduce myself. It's just that everyone here pretty much knows who I am. Hello, my name is Robin, and I run this place."

"Hi Robin, I'm Ender, and this is Lacy, and they over there are John and Jack. Well, we're really just passing by. We're heading to Capaflag."

"Capaflag, huh? Oh yeah, I think I've seen you in The Games a few times. Your that guy who impressed Reykjavik. What happened to you?"

"Stuff happened."

"Well anyway, I kinda made a mess out of Capaflag a while ago. Heard about the Capaflagan Civil War? Yeah, well, I was partly responsible for it."

"Yeah, I heard you had something to do with it."

"So where are you planning on taking the boat to Capaflag?"

"Kuaku."

"Wise choice. Oh, and if you see a person named Bronte, tell her I said hi."

"Will do."

Deps walked up to them. "Alright, that's 50 people saved from being impaled by angry unicorns. Oh, hello you four, fancy seeing you here."

"Thank you, Deps." Uni thanked.

"Anytime. Anyways, you four wanna have a lift to Kuaku?"

"Why not a lift straight to Flag?" Ender asked.

"Not enough energy. This is Delsor Vinteum we're talking about, not Delsor MagCargo."

"Why would you not have your best car with you?"

"Because it's getting an upgrade back at Depsor. And I'm not using the Manatta to avoid having to drive across the ground."

"Ok, we'll go with you."

Ender, Deps and the rest of the group arrrived at Kuaku and landed in the fanciest way possible: Deps positioned the car right in front of the Kuaku Palace, lowered the car until it reached the ground, and got out with sunglasses on.

"Good morning, Kuaku!" Deps shouted.

"It's the afternoon, you know." Ender informed.

"I honestly don't care."

"I know you don't."

"Well then."

Bronte walked out of the palace, and greeted everyone.

"Deps, is everyone you know royalty?" Lacy asked.

"Pretty much. Senpai of Humavara, Robin of Uniland, Bronte of Koalatia, Daniel of Panland, Iris of Wintraria... Yeah, pretty much."

"Someone you know who isn't royalty?"

"You."

Lacy was not impressed.

Ender turned towards Bronte and said "Uni says hi, by the way."

Bronte simply replied "OK.".

Deps then began talking to Bronte. "Hey Bronte, we're all going to Capaflag, wanna come? If you want a valid reason, here it is: You could help me with the peacekeeping."

"Eh, sure, why not." Bronte replied. "Hey, we could use this hyper human cannon we've been working on."

"Sounds fun. Let's do it."
