The Queen Of The Zodiac
The delayed expedition

Finally after four days in an ark. Anna, Sara, and Wendy came down together from the ark.

Before they began the expedition, Sara first gave her permission to part for a while to finish her work, Duncan nodded in understanding and hugged Sara tightly.

Although this beach, Junest beach is a beautiful beach, there are places that have never been explored by visitors and residents. That's why Anna, Wendy and Sara went on a short expedition.

But first and foremost, they have to find a resort called Palula Resort.

Palula Resort is a place where Almita has many acquaintances, even Almita has booked a special place to stay according to the duration that Anna, Wendy and Sara want.

Even Palula Resort can be their home because ETP also helps Palula Resort in terms of economy, of course over the idea of Almita.

News of Almita, now he is also part of The Shine, a small organization that upholds true light and justice, consisting of only twelve knights.

Almita is the leader of The Shine.

The arrangement of The Shine is very unique if imaginable and unthinkable in Terra. The nickname of each of them is taken from some precious stones that are very valuable, expensive and useful.

The Crystal Knight, is the new nickname of Almita, or perhaps at least a new name for Almita.

For now the news that Wendy could receive was just that. And the three of them had already entered into their respective rooms.although they were both a girl, they also needed what was called personal space, it was natural for fellow humans.

Let's get into Anna's scope, Anna sits on her bed, thinking five months later it's fast enough, fast enough for Anna to pick up the Ombadient, Tanzanite and Peridot stones.

The stones are very useful as a means of communication of the most distance, Anna tried this method to be able to contact Yuri from the world of the Hor.

Anna then super confidently, moved from her bed and immediately walked towards the small living room, not far from her room, this VIP room was truly like home.

"Home in the house, it seems interesting.''

Without further ado, Anna took out the three stones and cast a spell that made the three stones glow.

"Yeah... Another bit..."

By forcing herself, Anna tried again and again, as well as the reaction of the three stones after almost making it to the end point always broken, whether or not Anna was strong enough.

Frustrated and stressed inside Anna, Anna hit the floor hard, holding her aching arm in a really headache.

"Aaagh..!!!." Shouted Anna.

Shortly after Anna shouted, the sound of the door being knocked by the two people Anna recognized.

"Anna's...You okay in there?."

"Sister Anna, is there a bad person who hurt you..?!!"

With the worried tone Anna felt, Anna then began to reply to their words.

"Ahh, it's okay, just a little dizzy with my work."

Anna then starts storing and hiding the stones until Anna opens the door to her room and sees Wendy and Sara.

"Anna..." Wendy Lirih.

Wendy is not the figure she used to be, she is now more sensitive to feel the kind of magic and Wendy knows that Anna is hiding a secret which is why Wendy slaps Anna reflexively.

~PLAK~

"Fuck, you don't think I know..!?. I can feel the three stones with you.. You think sacrificing your life time is cool..?!!."

Wendy exploded in anger, emotions ignited and burning. Seeing Anna holding onto her cheek that had just been slapped with a faint look.

"I have to do this, for-"

Before finishing his words, Wendy immediately interrupted him harshly.

"For what.. To Yuri?!!.. What if he comes back and sees you like this... Ughhhh...You're disgusting, I can't stand it..!!."

"Sister Wendy..."

Sara could only speak her name in a weak voice.

The expedition this time seems to be difficult if one of them starts fighting, Sara can only make her mind and shed tears.

Even though the night had arrived, Wendy did not return to the room and made Sara worried, her heart was not calm and Sara even thought in a row.

The sound of the door being knocked and in front of the door was neither Anna nor Wendy, it was the captain and vice-captain of the Feng Shui ship.

After Sara opened the door, Sara saw Huang and Yu Jie bring a delicious meal, so good that it smelled delicious.

"Hey, where's Acting-Director Wendy?." Ask Yu Jie.

Confused Huang saw Sara's gloomy face, Huang immediately hugged Sara who was moody.

"Hey, hey..What the hell is going on.. We also knocked on the door of Anna's room and didn't come out.. What's going on?.." Ask Huang.

Sara then released Huang's embrace and took the two top officers into her room.

Sara told her what happened and of course stammered, but Huang helped Sara by patting her shoulder and giving her a snack that she brought with Yu Jie, of course Sara received and ate it.

"It's all... Our fault..."

In a regretful tone, Huang lowered his eyeballs down when Sara mentioned Yuri's name.

"We should have been able to better organize our ships sooner and earlier.."

Sara shook her head.

"It wasn't your fault, Brother Yuri is now in the world of the Hor." Reply Sara.

Huang and Yu Jie were surprised, not expecting that. They are also relieved that as the burden of their minds is gone, they will not forgive themselves if Yuri is hurt or somehow-why.

"Ahh yes, we brought a light to heavy snack and dinner. We bought it at Journey Restaurant and at Pick Your Snack." Huang.

Seeing Huang and Yu Jie's behavior made Sara comforted and smiled.

Well even though the expedition failed, at least Sara had great people around her.

Sara then had an idea after her mind began to clear up, an idea that made Huang immediately agree as well as Yu Jie who was even enthusiastic.

At least before having dinner with the ETP members and it will be a big day tomorrow or tomorrow again when the expedition is over.

"Ah right, Crew Hoshi and Callibri will be here tomorrow afternoon, if there are no obstacles."

Huang gave a small letter to Sara.

"Hmm, the crew from Hoshi's ship, Captain Nier and his officer, August."

This old Ga, other than Feng Shui, there is an ETP cruiser that is feared by pirates, namely Hoshi , a newly launched ship that raises many good and scary rumors.

That was because the leaders of the ship were Nier and August. Nier is a Sage who can play magic as well as a sword expert, Nier can also use Twilight Magic, a fusion of light and darkness.

The skill in sword fighting as well as magic in one package, makes him the best magician with an unbeatable score.

August, August is a talented magician, he recently even created a new kind of magician, namely Chaos.

August can also create magic-magic of his own creation, making magic unique but deadly, full of trickery aka illusion.

Huang and Yu Jie of course could not stand against the two of them or it might be able to make the four of them end up entering the spirit world aka death.

"Ah, then, we'll take our leave."

Feeling anxious, Huang pinched Sara's cheek.

The two of them finally went to step away from the area of Sara's room, Wendy and Anna were.

They all did not know, they did not know that Anna eavesdropped on their conversation, not intentionally because Anna's hearing was very sharp, although sometimes.

"Nier and.... August..."
