"Stay close to us" Daisy said before steeping through the portal.

Jay turned to me, "Ohhh daisy isn't the only race you haven't seen before, so try not to point or stare we don't wanna offend people?..." Jay informed me before also stepping through the portal.

Clenching my fist, I braced myself for the upcoming culture shock. We stepped out into an absolutely bustling city filled with many people, they all stopped in their tracks to look before carrying on with their lives. Pulling jay closer to me, "That's and orc!!!!! I said in absolute glee to him in excitement recognizing their green skin pointy ears and tusks.

"Yeah... okay..... Calm down...." he replied to me following our school.

It was so amazing, the city was filled with many different races exactly how I imagined in fantasy novels. There were dwarves, elves, gnomes, a race that looked exactly Daisy but had red skin and normal eyes, there was even a woman with pointy ears and two antlers growing out of her hair like a Stag, everyone going on their day like it's nothing special.

We arrived at what seems to be a city a square surrounding by buildings and stalls selling all kinds of small trinkets and jewellery. "Increased reports of more kidnapping over the night keep your doors and windows locked!!!... Sightings of increased goblin activity near the base of the mountains and nearby villages!!!.... "A man shouting while loudly ringing a hand bell.

"This can't be good...." I heard Jay say to Daisy.

"Yeah.... I wonder what's causing them to leave the mountains." Daisy responded.

"Guys is the news really bad???" I asked them, both excited and curious.

"It's abit bad, nothing to be worried about though I'm sure the King of Arcadia already has things planned." Daisy answered.

I couldn't help but stare and look at everything in wonder. Everything was so different, different races and things walking along side each other, the architecture of the buildings the bustling city life. There was even a rock monster and a man with a giant ice white furred dire wolf following him.

We walked past a shop called Frank's Fantastic Gadgets and Gizmo's on the window display was various machines all doing different tasks, through the glass I could barely make out several objects all doing different things from glowing to flying and spinning. Walking through the city passing various building we eventually came to another town square filled with shop fronts.

"Children this is the Main Market Square, Please do not stray too far, if anything happens please report it to any prefect or myself." The deputy head spoke out.

Jay and Daisy turned to me, "So what shall we check out first?" they asked.

"Defiantly clothes would be awesome, I haven't got any" I responded.

"Ohh?... I swear you wasn't wearing that yesterday" Jay asked.

"Scarlet borrowed me some clothes." I said to them.

"She has nice taste" Jay added looking up and down and me.

"Don't even think about it" I pointed threatening him.

He held his hands up in innocence again." I was merely admiring the clothing choice" he said innocently.

Daisy pulled his ear causing him to wince in pain "You need to be more respectful of women Jay." She warned then letting go of his ear. Jay immediately started rubbing his ear in pain.

"Let's get going guys" she smiled.

We walked to the first shop in sight with clothes on display, walking in we were instantly assaulted with a strong sent of floral scents.

"Ohhhh new customers!!! Welcome Welcome!!! My name is Mavis!" a very flamboyant lady spoke out quickly walking towards us. "Such beautifullllll young girls...." she said grabbing me and daisy inspecting us. "You must tell me your names!!!" she said. "You young miss! Where are you from?! Your skin colour is absolutely beautiful!" she yelled at me grabbing both my arms. "And you! I've never seen a Tiefling with blue skin before! You must be extremely special" she said looking at daisy. Both daisy and I looked at each other in bewildered by her extremely colourful personality. "Ahhh the shy type not to worry, I'm sure I have everything you will need in this store! Follow me!" instantaneously releasing me and briskly walking around her shop picking out various pieces of clothing and leaving them on a table in a neat sets.

I began walking towards the outfits laid out on the table, each of them looks a bit extravagant, each with finely sewn details, "are they all hand sewn?" I asked curiously.

"Yes I sew them all myself!" The shop keeper replied with a smile. "Ohhh and I also make custom pieces if you want, but depending on what you need it may take between three days to one week" Mavis added.

Daisy quickly approached sticking close to me also began looking and feeling the pieces of clothing picked out of us. Looking back realizing that I totally forgot about Jay, he seemed completely lost, staring out of the window completely bored. "Ummm is there any way you can perhaps deliver these to Atlantis?" I asked politely.

"Umm yes, all you will need to do is tell them you have a delivery from me and they will allow me to deliver it to you" Mavis smiled.

"Could you just take our measurements?.... and just alter the clothing so it will fit and deliver it when you're ready?.. I don't want our guy friend over there waiting for us all day...." I questioned.

"Of course darling! What exactly would you like?" Mavis questioned.

"Umm let's just say 50 golds worth of clothes? anything you recommend." I requested.

He mouth opened in shock, "Are you sure?... that's a lot of gold...." Mavis questioned.

"Ohh and we need undergarments as well if you can also provide them! Gold isn't an issue." I asked with a smile.

"I'll have the batch done for you in a week!" She replied excited. "Come in the other room so I can take your measurements." She requested.

"We will be a couple more minutes Jay." I shouted to him following Mavis into the room.

He responded by smiling and nodding, and gesturing me to go. Daisy was surprisingly quite compared to her quite outspoken behavior earlier. We entered a large room filled with all sorts of fabrics and colors, jewels and accessories. In the corner laid numerable mannequins of different shape sizes and heights. "Sorry it's so messy in here" Mavis added.

"Not at all, do you make all your clothes here?" I replied

"Yes, I do most my work here, otherwise the kids will ruin anything I make at home." She replied.

"Ohh you have kids?" I asked.

"Yes two boys and one girl, Zac, Tod and Grace, Grace offers to help but the other two are just pure devils" she laughed.

"Yeah boys will be boys!" I laughed with her, reminiscing on the times I used to babysit my nephew and niece.

She went to a draw and pulled out measuring tape, "Young miss let's start with you." Mavis pointed at Daisy walking towards her.

Daisy quietly nodded and held her arms up. As Mavis began taking down her measurements, "So what's your name?" Mavis asked her breaking the silence.

"Daisy" she replied quietly.

"That's a beautiful name." She smiled, "so you must be pretty special with your Light blue skin and golden eyes." Mavis added politely.

"I'm not special, just a bit different because of my upbringing." Daisy replied.

"Well darling everyone is special and different is good." Mavis smiled, "Nothing to be nervous about, we're almost done." Mavis quietly added.

'I noticed that Daisy was surprisingly quiet, but I wonder why she's so nervous.'

Noting down Daisy's measurements, she pointed to me to approach. "So what's your name?" she asked me while measuring my height.

"Emilia" I replied with a smile.

"Very nice name, where are you from?" she asked politely keeping the conversation going.

"Ohhh I'm from India, it's a country from another plane." I replied.

She froze a little in shock "Another plane?" She asked curiously.

"Yeah, I'm a freshman in Atlantis" I smiled.

"Ohhh that's interesting" she replied as she began measuring my waist. "Where did you get this nice dress from? The material I have never seen or felt anything like this before." She questioned.

"Ohh it's a dress from back home, it's made with a combination of materials." I answered her.

"Ohhh that's very interesting" she replied finishing up my measurements and noting them down.

Reaching into the Bag of Holding and pulling out my pouch of gold. Mavis was a little shock at the Bag of Holding, "wow I've never seen one of those up close before" she said in shock.

"Yeah they seem pretty useful." I smiled counting out 55 gold and handing it to her.

"Ohhh thank you very much!! I'll have them all done as soon as I can." She smiled.

We began making our way back to the shop front, where Jay was still waiting by the same window for us.

"Thank you for everything." I smiled as Mavis bidding her farewell.

"No No.. thank you for the business, and if there's anything else you need clothing related, feel free to stop by." she smiled waving.

Jay joined us as we made our way out the door.

"So where to next" I turned to them with a giant smile from ear to ear.
