48 Mutyxs First Time in the Floating City (2/2)

”Confirmed,” Alpha said in a robotic voice.

Alpha's body started changing. His massive body turned into a golden ball, just the size of a marble. Mutyx grabbed the golden ball, placing it in his pocket.

”How is that possible? He was big, and now he's small. That shouldn't be possible.” Garrik asked, confused.

”Shapeshifting enchantments. So, how do we enter tha floating city? We're down here, an' it's all tha way up there.”

”I'll tell you while we walk.” Garrik started heading in the direction of the floating city, Mutyx, right beside him. ”You don't have to worry about that. On the ground, there's a teleport pad that you can pay to use. It'll take you up to the floating city.”

Mutyx nodded. ”So how much is the fee?”

”Last I checked, five silver coins, but there's a chance they raised the cost. Either way, we have more than enough money to pay for it,” Garrik replied.

The two arrived at their destination, under the floating city. There was a big platform with magic symbols, five guards around the platform, and two guards sitting down, taking money.

One of the guards that were sitting down waved at Garrik. ”Hey! Are you going up?”

”Yup, how much? Is it still five silver?” Garrik asked the guard as he walked over with Mutyx.

The guard shook his head. ”No, they lowered the price. It's four silver now.”

”Great.” Garrik took out four silver coins and gave it to the guard. ”There you go.”

The guard looked at Mutyx. ”Is he coming with you?”

Garrik nodded.

”It's per person, remember?” the guard reminded Garrik.

”Ah, sorry.” Garrik took out four more silver coins and gave it to the guard.

”Thank you! Go stand over there on the platform, and enjoy your time.”

Garrik and Mutyx walked to the platform and stood in the middle of it. The symbols started glowing a bright blue. A blue light surrounded them, and the two disappeared.

Garrik and Mutyx reappeared on a similar platform, but this time, they were in the floating city. A woman greeted them in blue clothes. ”Hello, and welcome! Is it your first time here?”

Garrik shook his head. ”No thank you, I was born here.”

Garrik knew who the woman in blue clothes was. They're a group of criminals that targeted unknowing tourists. They would take them for a 'tour' but rob them by the end of it.

Garik turned to his master. ”Master, do you know where the person we're looking for is?”

Mutyx shook his head. ”Nope, I've nae idea,” he said. ”Dinna worry aboot it. Me an' tha person have a connection so ta speak.”
