[nospaces] [attr="class","julia"] [attr="class","juliaw"] Julia could see why Shalin called her Queen Zing, given her size and menacing appearance. Yet Julia could tell she was a gentle monarch, one who would only use her fierce power against her enemies. Or maybe she was letting her imagination get away from her. [break][break] "Nice to meet you, Queen Zing," she said. Then, she realized something: "Is she gonna be okay in there? We're going down Fiery Path, after all."[break][break]She blinked and shielded her eyes against the sun reflected off Shalin's medallions. "What are those? They're so shiny!"[break][break]And then, Shalin reminded Julia of just how dangerous the place they were going to was. Honestly? It was nerve-wracking, going into a place where they might not be rescued. But rather than show that, she grinned and pointed a thumb at her own chest. "You're bringing a Ranger in there with you. We'll be fine."[break][break] "Unfortunately, I haven't caught a flier yet," she said as she jumped off Chester's back. The Dodrio's left head drooped and let out a sad squawk. "It's okay, buddy! You're still the best runner I know." She reached up to pet the head. The middle one leaned in for some, as well, cueing the right one, who was too far away, to caw his displeasure. Julia laughed and moved over so she could give it some love, as well. With the pets dispensed, Julia returned Chester to his Poké Ball. [break][break]She took the proffered earplugs and hopped on Sandy's back. She glanced back for a moment at the Flygon's rapidly beating wings, entranced by the sight of their near invisibility. She could feel their hum from where she sat, even with the earplugs on; now she understood their purpose, especially for Queen Zing’s rider. That droning must have buzzed in Shalin's bones. [break][break]She held on tight as they launched into the air, the buzzing and the weightless feeling of flight tickling Julia's stomach in a way that made her giggle. She must have looked a bit mad laughing like that, but surely Shalin understood the feeling well enough to not judge. [break][break]It was a sweltering canyon rather than a cave that they landed in, but Julia was still surrounded on nearly all sides by rock. What really caught her attention was the titular Mirage Palace, a glimmering fortress floating above the volcano. The way it hazily wavered back and forth in the light really did make it look like a mirage. But it was real, and the warning sign proved it. Julia stared at it for a solid few seconds. Soft No-Rescue Zone. No guarantee that Rangers would be sent to rescue anyone who went inside. Would Julia have answered any calls for help from a place like this? [break][break]The Kommo-o's rattling scales turned Julia's attention back to her expedition partner. She hopped off Sandy's back and said, "Nice to meet you, too, Treble!" She thought for a moment about her own team, then decided to send out Momo. "I don't really have any 'main muscle,' but this is Momo! We actually met pretty close by here, and I figure he can handle the heat pretty well. Right, buddy?" Momo was entranced by the giant doors leading into the palace, but he turned to Julia and chittered what sounded like an affirmative at her question. [break][break]Unlike Shalin, Julia opted to stay on foot for the time being. She had no idea what would await her inside, and while she was well-practiced with riding on Chester's back, she felt more comfortable having control over her own locomotion. She stared down the doors, gathering her determination. No turning back now. [break][break] "Let's go."[newclass=.julia] width: 450px; margin: 0 auto; font-family: roboto; color: #aaa; font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: .5px; text-align:justify; padding-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 20px; line-height: 15px;[/newclass] [newclass=.julia b] color: #d49736; font-size: 11.5px; font-family: trebuchet ms; letter-spacing: .5px; [/newclass] [newclass=.julia a] text-decoration: none; color: #d49736; font-style: italic; font-weight: lighter; [/newclass] [newclass=.julia h1, h2, h3] display: inline-block; [/newclass] [newclass=.julia h1] font-size: 13px; font-weight: lighter; color: #d49736; letter-spacing: .5px; line-height: 0px; font-family: monospace; text-transform: uppercase; [/newclass] [newclass=.julia i] color: #d49736; [/newclass] [newclass=.julia u] text-decoration: none;border-bottom: solid 1px #d49736; [/newclass] [newclass=.juliatag] text-align: right; padding-bottom: 20px; padding-top: 20px; font: 10px monospace; [/newclass] [newclass=.juliatag a] font: 11px Montserrat; font-weight: 800!important; font-style: italic; letter-spacing: 0px; text-transform: lowercase; [/newclass] [newclass=.julianotes] text-align: justify; padding: 20px 40px 10px 40px; font: 10px monospace; letter-spacing: .3px; border-top: solid 1.5px #323232; [/newclass] [newclass=.julianotes h1] font: 14px Montserrat; font-weight: 800!important; font-style: italic; letter-spacing: 0px; text-transform: uppercase; color: #d49736; text-shadow: 2px 2px 0px #1e1e1e; padding-bottom: 5px; text-align:center;[/newclass] [newclass=.julianotes a] font: 11px Montserrat; font-weight: 800!important; font-style: italic; letter-spacing: 0px; text-transform: lowercase; color: #d49736; [/newclass] [newclass=.juliaw] padding: 40px; background: #272727; [/newclass] [newclass=.julia span] display: inline-block; [/newclass] [newclass=.juliapokes] text-align: center; margin: 0 auto; background: #d49736; padding: 5px; width: 440px; margin-left: -40px; margin-bottom: -40px; margin-top: 10px; [/newclass] [newclass=.juliapokes img] margin-top: -10px; padding-bottom: 5px; [/newclass]
