Nytri enters the Axim district, the passengers are in awe. The street lights, billboards, roads, buildings, everything was perfect in their eyes. Nytri is driving according to the speed limit so they get the chance to look around.
Ophelia comes to the drivers cabin pointing at the lights before the road with excitement, "What's that?!" Nytri looks up, "Traffic light." She stops at the red light, "Red means stop, yellow means get ready and green is go." Ophelia has stars in her eyes, "Waaoow!" then she points at another, "What's that?!" Nytri looks over, "That's a Teleportal, to reach other districts or places." Ophelia sees people appearing on it and vanishing.
The lights turn green and Nytri drives on, "This is the Axim District, Educational district as we call it." Juniper appears in the driver's cabin also excited, "How many districts are there?" Nytri smiles, "15 Districts in total."
Phifty comments from lying on a couch, "Those are like 15 cities." Everyone is woawed in amazement. Ragnar's head inflates with his nose becoming long, "Of course! Azuria has 15 districts each serving a primary purpose. Some for research, entertainment, shopping and games!" Nytri glances at him in thought, "Entertainment and games are for the same purpose." And Ragnar continues, "So many places and many kinds of vehicles and arcades."
Tristan asks his father, "How come you know so much? Didn't you just come here for a couple days?" Ragnar looks at his son Tristan with pride and brings out a card, "In deed, I was here for a couple of days but! I have my citizen card." He lifts the card high which glows a little. Nytri glances at Ragnar through the mirror in thought, "How did he get that so soon?" she notices a sticker on it and smiles wryly, "The annoyer badge. He must have pestered Paxius a lot." Nytri looks ahead and continues driving.
Juniper is briming with excitement, "I can't wait to get to the inn! I wonder what it looks like." Nytri raises a brow looking at her, "Inn? You're sleeping in my home with me. We're going to the Imperium District." They go woaw again and Phifty comments, "That's the capital."
Quentin is amazed, "Wait, this isn't the capital?!" Ragnar speaks with pride, "Of course, you'd have to pass through 2 districts to get there. From here I'm guessing we're taking the Onyx Oasis District, the district of luxury and splendor!"
Nytri glances back, "Oh yeah, how about we go for shopping? I'll handle everything so you can buy whatever you want." They asks, "Really?" Nytri smiles, "Sure, why not." They cheer, "WHOOAA!" Nytri chuckles.
Nytri kept on the highway even after entering Axim District, through a few traffic lights and she was out of the district. Nytri picked up speed and Phfity was playing Azuria songs in the back, they enjoyed it.
In 30 minutes, they arrive in the Onyx Oasis district and it's getting pretty late. This district is flashy with a lot of things on display in glasses before shops. Anything Azuria made could be found in the super mall or the depot, items gathered here before being distributed to other districts. Nytri drove deeper into the district towards the largest building in the center, she entered the parking lot parking the vehicle.
The side door opened and everyone stepped out, Nytri was the last to leave and she shut the door. They went to the mall and the doors opened on its own for them, they were waowed even more. While they kept having fun at the door, Nytri entered and an Azurian was walking towards them.
The Azurian is Zita, a female in a business suit with a serious expression. Zita was every excited to meet Nytri(mother) but she restrained herself and acted professional, which is good because she didn't see the company with Nytri.
"Good evening mum." Zita bows her head with a bright smile. Everyone looks at Nytri surprised, "Uhhhh." Phifty made a comment, "Since she's the princess, she's assumed as the Mother of Azuria." Quentin turned to Phifty, "That doesn't make any sense." Phifty shrugs, "It is what is it."
Zita noticed the people with Nytri, "Oh, sor-" Nytri raised her hand, "Don't worry about it kiddo." Nytri walks over to her, Zita gets on her knees and Nytri pats her head. "How's work?" Nytri asks and Zita speaks with a satisfied smile, "We're making profits with the distribution centers across the continent. Customers leave with a smile and some even tip with the service we give." The others found it odd Zita was kneeling before Nytri and how Nytri was petting her head.
Nytri lifts Zita's head, "Your brows look stressed, have you been resting enough?" Zita answers chirpily, "of course, 3 hours of sleep everyday!" she smiles brightly. Nytri sighs, "You need more sleep. Even me, if I avoid sleeping for a while, I need at least a full day's sleep in a month. Go home after work and make sure you get 8 hours of sleep."
"But-" Zita was about to speak but Nytri placed a finger on her lips speaking, "I don't want my kids deprived of anything. Get some sleep, the mall won't collapse if you take a few days off." Zita bows her head and Nytri smiles warmly, "I know you want to help, but you have to consider your health also. Okay?" Zita nods her head, "Oka~y."
Nytri glances behind her at the confused audience since other people were also shopping, "Zita, how about you show my friends around." She takes out a dark gold card, "They can have whatever they want." Zita nods taking the card, "Alright." She gets up on her feet and walks to Nytri's company, "Welcome to The Onyx Oasis's Golden Bazaar!" she spreads her arms wide and there's some light show. This amazed them also.
Ophelia and the others wanted to talk to Nytri about the 'Mother' thing but Nytri was on the escalators moving to the top floors. So, they followed Zita and bought anything they wanted. At first they were restraining themselves and Zita told them to not hold back, so they went all out. One even bought a car but Phifty asked a question that saddened him, 'What road are you going to drive that?'
Overall, they had fun, then they went to the restaurant in the mall to get dinner. The mall was flashy and the insides were even flashier. They ordered a lot of food and kept some in the storage rings they bought which could actually preserve food, Azuria goods are indeed the best.
Phifty and Zita were at a table also eating. Phifty smiles, "Looks like the little ones are doing a good job." Zita chuckles, "Please, we both know I'm older than you." Phifty chuckles, "Yes you are, but you're still my cute little sister." Zita giggles, "How was the academy?" Phifty leans into his seat, "It was fun, a new experience. Despite the principal doing what he can to eliminate social hierarchy in the academy, humans are still humans."
Zita sips on juice, "You don't say. I expected the academy to more than that." She looks at a screen at the bottom corner of her eyes, "At least mum is having fun." Phifty nods, "Yeah, and those kids are good. Even after seeing Nytri's odd sides they still chose to be friends, they're brave." Zita giggles, "You speak as if being friends with mum is a trial." Phifty chuckles, "Of course not." He also looks at Nytri on his screen, "It's really nice to see her having the closest to a normal life."
Zita sighs with her finger going over her cup. Phifty looks at her, "Oh, it looks like mum is making an announcement in the Nexusphere,

*Paxius spoke, he looks exhausted*
- Paxius: Yeah, keep in mind about 4,000 passengers.
- Nytri: Damn Paxi, you look like crap.
*Paxius yawns*
- Paxius: I've played king for so long I'm just want to leave this place.
*Lyra, the Azurian in a relationship with Paxius speaks*

*Everyone seemed to be in a hurry to sleep*
END]
Phifty looks at Zita and she's sucking in a deep breathe. Phifty chuckles, "Nytri will wait for you after work, so cheer up." Zita pouts looking away, "It's not like I need it or anything. Hmph!"
Nytri got up on the top floor then get got an empty space, "REALITY CONTROL > ALTER EGO TARGET ME." Reflections of Nytri appear before her reaching a hundred. They all speak at the same time, "Nice!" Nytri closes her eyes and her Alter Egos teleport out of the building one at a time. In her eyes, she has 100 visions looking around and she's controlling every Alter Ego as if it was her own body. Of course, her clones handled some of the Mental Burden or she might get dizzy in a few hours.
The group spent the night in the Golden Bazaar, the beds were big and comfy. First time they saw beds that big and soft and bouncy and…..Professor Gwyneth is checking if runes are on the bed.....
