Though the journey through the void had only amassed about a minute on the outside world, inside it, the time that had elapsed was closer to an hour. Moving more than himself across long distances was never what Michel’s travelling method was meant for. He could take him and Meli from one corner of Archadia to the other with little problem. That was because the two of them were on the same wavelength and the city was built on the ground, so, of course, it didn’t pose any difficulty for him, but moving several people at once was a lot more difficult for him, especially now that he had less-than-optimal control over his Void Seal due to what happened yesterday. Larger groups of people meant a longer time spent in the vastness of the void.
And it most certainly didn’t help his concentration that Ivy and Meli were at each other’s throats the entire time whilst in the void, nevermind the fact that about a dozen others who had been Ivy’s Thorns were behind them, whispering to themselves. No, this wasn’t an ideal situation — not even in the slightest. However, Michel had to deal with it. But the Gods sure were testing his patience.
After a while, Michelangelo had simply used Shemhazai’s special powers within the void to block out the noise coming from both of them so he didn’t have to hear either of them retort nastily towards the other. It would allow him the time to concentrate more on finding the quickest route through the void and to Bhujerba.
Several minutes would pass as they kept going through the naught before Michel’s body had begun to emit a bright, purple light. His aura activated. The white and black void had suddenly split apart, the colors of Michel’s portals surrounding the rip in space and the group of Utena Flowers stepped through it, thus signalling their arrival into the Sky City of Bhujerba. To make sure that they kept absolute secrecy, however, their arrival was within the Lhusu Mines, though, they weren’t deep within the mines. They were only a few dozen paces from the entrence.
“Why bring us here, Lord Chamomile?” One of the Utena soldiers asked.
Michel turned around, his smokey eyes scanning all twelve of the Utena soldiers who had all parts of their bodies covered except for their eyes that varied in color. “The Lhusu Mines are barely frequented by the locals. It is only operated by those who work for it, but ever since it was deemed as an unsafe working environment by then-Marquis Roman Darcone, it was shut down until conditions improved.” Michel informed the soldier who inquired about the reason for being in the mines.
“Of course that makes it a perfect base of operations.” Ivy added, giving Michel a sweet smile whilst giving a smug-like expression towards Meli’s way.
Michel simply ignored that and would focus more on the task they were given by Shion. “Our Mistress has given us our mission: to find any abnormalities within the air. You are the best we have at gathering information and sensing such things. Now go!”
The lot looked at Michel, then to Ivy, the one whose command they were normally under. “You heard the Chamomile. Go!”
“Yes, Lady Pink Rose!” After saluting her by placing their hands over their hearts, the twelve were gone from sight, leaving the trio alone in the mines.
“While the grunts go out and foolishly attend to a uesless task, we can discuss what we’re really going to do.” Michel said, looking to the two ladies.
“What do you mean useless task?”
“Do you honestly think those grunts will actually be able to sense the Creature?”
Ivy seemed confused, “what does that even mean, Michey?”
“Can you not sense it?”
“Sense what--”
After a moment, Ivy’s usually smug face went to one of shock and horror. “You don’t mean…”
“It’s here.” Michel faced the opposite direction to where his body had turned towards deep into the mines. “The Creature dwells deep in the Lhusu Mines.”
