75 TO THE CAPITAL

ASTRID looked outside the window. He was greeted by the large expanse of darkness with a splatter of shining stars and other heavenly bodies. He had been seeing this scene for almost a week now from this public aircraft transportation he and Reas were travelling in. If everything went well, they would probably arrive at the capital some time tomorrow.

It would probably be an understatement if he said that he was excited. His excitement was probably on the highest level right now. It would probably even increase more tomorrow when they arrived at the capital.

He and Reas hadn't been near the Artemian Galaxy – the galaxy where the capital was located, all their lives. Their parents had only taken them to some of Palioxis Galaxy's specialized tourist planets for vacation. After their mother told them about their past, he finally knew why they avoided the capital like a plague.
