Chapter 27 - Chapter 27: A Homing Beacon for Danger!

Drake had his arms wrapped around her lithe waist and her body was pressed against his chest while her arms were around his neck. At this distance they could feel each others breath tingling on their skin.

Her face turned beet red and she started panicking again. But when she looked into his clear eyes she felt all that fear vanish into nothingness.

Those starry eyes seemed to contain a vast galaxy swirling like a hypnotic vortex with every breath. She felt herself sinking into that sea of stars, her fears vanishing.

She didnt know when she started leaning in, and when Drake saw that signal he also leaned forward.

Their lips met and she moaned softly.

At that moment they both felt as if a thousand nukes had exploded in their minds and they couldnt think anymore, it was like they felt electric currents coursing through their bodies.

Drake and Luna didnt notice but they both soon started giving off a kind of magical radiance. Drake shone with starlight all over his body while Luna glowed with a soft halo like a radiant moon.

Everyone on the other floating islands and on the ground noticed the sudden appearance of a light and couldnt help but turn to its origin.

The bright light shone so brightly that even though it was still day time, it was as if the suns light had dimmed when that light appeared.

Everyone felt as if they had been plunged into an illusion where they were in the vast cosmos surrounded by a sea of stars with a radiant moon giving off a soft gentle light in that starry sky.

The light the two gave off wasnt piercing, but gentle and comforting and everybody that saw it couldnt help but want to immerse themselves in it and bask in their radiance.

A few seconds later the light gradually dimmed before completely disappearing and all the onlookers broke out into conversation about the beautiful light that had taken over the sky for a few seconds

What was that light?

I dont know, I have never felt anything like it before.

What about that illusion?

Do you think it was a mage?

Its possible.

Maybe it was a very powerful mage that was flying over.

I dont think so. I know quite a few mages and none of them could do something like that. No matter how powerful their spells are they shouldnt be capable of covering such a large range of distance.

Maybe it was just a special effect Star lines investors added.

What do you know? Mages are very powerful; its just that the ones you know are the weak ones.

Thats right I also think it was a powerful mage.

Discussions and arguments were going on everywhere.

Kaizer was enraged!

After he had finished venting, he had left the restaurant. Of course not before leaving several threats about how he could wipe out the ladys family and her entire clan along with the restaurant, if news of what happened there ever got out.

He had also left some compensation behind.

In a good mood, he had quickly returned to where the cars had been left to find Luna.

However when he arrived, he had found that both her and his entire team of guards reported that she had never returned.

This made him unhappy, especially after he remembered what he had gone through while he had been walking around the business district with her earlier. But he didnt let it completely ruin his mood. He decided to wait for her thinking maybe she had just decided to do some shopping without him.

But, as time passed there was nothing. She didnt return, didnt call nor did send any messages back to anyone from her security team about her well being.

They confronted him again to ask questions about how he had separated from Luna and where they had been when they had separated. His face immediately contorted when this happened. To think these servants dared to interrogate him?

Of course he couldnt tell them that, after all if they went to that restaurant and started asking questions about him the owner of that establishment might end up being persuaded into telling them about his little affair with the lady in the womens bathroom.

He definitely couldnt let that happen or if Luna or her father heard about it, that would completely destroy whatever chances he might have with her and it would be over for him if it somehow got out to the public.

It was better if his secret could die, be buried and forgotten in that restaurant

Like the son of a politician would do, he managed to successfully dissuade them from going looking for her. Convincing them with facts that women naturally loved to take their time when they were shopping, and that she had probably been completely immersed in her activities and lost track of time. Thus was probably the reason why she had forgotten to report back.

Though they suspected him, they still chose to believe him for the time being after all it had only been an hour.

Prince Kaizer breathe out a sigh of relief when he saw them retreating. Even though he was dissatisfied that he had to lower himself and explain so much to mere guards he had to.

However, even though they stopped bothering him he started to get even more worried after all he himself had a crush on Luna.

This might be Sanctuary city, a place with some of the best security and one of the largest populations of mages in the whole empire, but that didnt mean it was impossible for anything to go wrong, that nothing could possibly happen to her.

After all this wasnt the fist time a person disappeared, even in the imperial city people went missing in broad daylight.

When another hour passed and there was still no sight of Luna and no results with trying to get in touch with her, neither Kaizer nor her guards could take it anymore. They went searching.

This time with the exception of two guards that were left behind to guard the vehicle, seven people including Kaizer they all went together to the spot where Kaizer and Luna had gone their separate ways.

Luckily enough for Kaizer he was able to get a hold of someone on the opposite side of the Sunflower restaurant that had seen when Luna had gone into the cab that Drake had been driving.

There was even a CCTV camera that had caught the whole thing, with the abilities of one of them that was a telepath they were able to quickly get all the information about the cab so they did not have to go into the restaurant to ask around.

So they had the information about the vehicle that had taken her, they immediately split off in different directions trying to find more information about where the cab had gone.

It was then that the bright light appeared in the sky above the amusement park.

They instantly recognized that it was the light of their young misses Moon Radiance. But why was she using her power in the city, when normally she didnt like attracting attention to herself?

Also why was she so high up? And there was also a foreign aura around the Moon Radiance that was almost completely engulfing it.

The light didnt last for a long time, only less than a minute before it dimmed and disappeared.

A dreadful thought arose in their minds.

The young miss is in danger!

They immediately summoned their greatest speeds, raising it to the highest they could muster as they hastily rushed in the direction of the light source.

Kaizer who happened to have been just outside the Star line Amusement park also saw the light and rushed towards its origin.

Drake had no idea that danger was closing in on him.

Drake and Luna soon broke their kiss and they both took deep breaths while trying to calm their wildly beating hearts. They were no experts, but they had no idea it would feel like that.

That feeling was magical!

Luna couldnt raise her head to look at Drake in the face, she could only bashfully get herself away from Drake.

Drake also noticed that she was feeling extremely overwhelming shyness so he let her go.

She used her magic energy to push herself to solid ground, then went over to the bench and pushed a button that caused the floating island to descend to ground level.

Once they were on the ground they turned to leave the area of the Ferris wheel. Luna was still not saying anything so Drake just stood beside her holding her hand, while she held a giant panda in the other hand. It was a prize they had won from the shooting game.

As they walked, Drake overheard the people around taking about a bright light that had appeared some time ago which confused him since he did not notice any bright light himself especially since the Eye of Order had been active all this time.

They hadnt gone far when a stifling pressure suddenly descended out of nowhere.

Uncle Drake you bastard, Im going to fucking kill you!
