3rd person POV

A man wearing a thin silver armour was flying on hoverboard, trailing behind him was Kaal. They were going towards the biggest building in the whole city, the black castle in the centre of the big city.

Kaal asked casually" May I know your name, Mr. knight?"

Mr.knight replied stiffly, " Sure, it's Nis'mant."

Kaal,"Can you tell me about your city, Nis'mant?"

Nis'mant " Sorry, esteemed guest. I am not allowed to disclose any information of our city. I have taken a solemn oath."

Kaal, " That's alright."

" So are you a body or spirit ascender?"

" What is an ascender?" Nis'mant asked.

I did not reply and kept silent the remaining distance.

In every side of the castle stood a guard, in total 4 guards.

Well, the security is lackluster for such a impressive castle, I mused.

We, Nis'mant and I, landed infront of the castle. Nis'mant alighted from his hoverboard and stored it in a spherical obect he took out of 'armor'.

We arrived in front of the black castle guard. The castle guard was without armors but was wearing a black uniform, black pants, black shoes, black overcoat with a insignia having a black sphere printed on it.

Nis'mant bowed towards the guard.

Nis'mant [ In a subservient manner]:" Guardian, this sir from a far away place here seeks an audience with the queen. May I have the permission to proceed forward."

The Guardian replied austerely:" You can return to your post. I will escort our guest from here on."

Mr.Guardian here did not question his decision to bring me here.

Nis'mant turned back, nodded to me and flew back on his hoverboard, uptightly.

The Guardian:" Welcome to our city, esteemed guest. Excuse me for a moment while I inform our queen about your arrival."

He said, taking out a strange commuicator and corresponding with someone on it for some time.

He looked at me and said," Please follow me, esteemed guest. Our queen welcomes you to her throne room."

I nodded and followed his lead.

He started walking to the black castle and I followed him.

There were no doors to enter the castle visible.

He walked straight into the walls and entered through.

I also walked straight into the walls and entered.

The part of the wall I was entering through parted by itself making a temporary entrance for mee.

Inside, we walked on a wide hallway. The hallway was bright as twilight on earth.

We kept walking to the end of the hallway passing the identical doors on the sides of the hall.

Finally, we came before the end of the hallway.

Ahead of the hallway was a small park sized area situated at the middle of the castle.

Above us was beautiful ceiling decorated with blue shining crystals. There were 3 more hallways connecting to this area.

In the centre of the domain situated a beautiful sky-blue throne whose back extending to the ceiling. Seated on the blue throne was a gorgeous lady of noble bearings.

Blue eyes, long hair, stern looking; truly deserving the word lady and noble.

I stood in front of her and looked at her as she looked at me.

She spoke first," Dear guest, may I have the honour of knowing your name? I am named Ishvari and am the only queen of my domain."

" I am Kaal."
