TIOA Sns9 eps 23: The pilot went to the side of the jet and entered another code, and the side doors holding the luggage opened. Uncle kept looking at the wall and said. "I am too old for this." Anjel turned around quickly and grabbed her bags from under the jet. The others watched as a two horsed buggy came towards them, a man sat above with the reigns. He was very pleasant looking, blonde hair, mid thirties, clean shaven and smiling. He came close to the group and brought the horses to a stop, and said. "Good day to you all, sorry about the troubles you had getting in."
Darlin's voice was heard again. "Your news helicopters are to leave, I will set them all back on their launch pads safely, they will no longer come this way." Everyone started to look up and the new helicopters vanished, she continued. "Your governments know that their satellites are not working, none passing close enough to make a visual on us will work ever again, without my permission. Your spy jets no matter how high they fly will not work, I will stop them short, return them outside until they decide they do not have enough fuel and return themselves. All recognized governments of the world can send dignitaries, when we have our greeting to all. You will be notified later of the date."
"Sorry about that, when she speaks we tend to listen." said the buggy driver. "I came to take your luggage, your transportation will be inside the first wall. Welcome to our home, Darlin decided to keep the name of the original location." The group looked at him and turned to get the luggage out. Angel asked. "Is Darlin healthy, is she good?" the man responded. "Well yes she is." Angel asked back. "Are we going to see her today?" The man sat up a little straighter, keeping the horses in check, and replied back with a smile. "Yes, you all will see her today, please put your luggage in the buggy and we will take care of it."
"Not a problem by me." said Uncle as he grabbed his luggage and walked it over and placed them in the back, Count followed suit. Angel turned to do the same as most did, but Anjel stood there just waiting. "Maim." the man said trying to get her attention. "Maim? do you want to put your bags here?" Anjel turned her face to him and stated monotone. "I will hold onto my bags thank you." The man shrugged a little and said. "As you wish, okay the rest is in place, please make room for me to turn around."
The group got out of his way and he turned the team around, he whipped the reigns up and the horses started forward towards the wall. The group started to follow, there were people outside working. Roses, lilacs, all manner of flowers were outside the wall, the whole way around as far as the eye could see. Trees forever on the outside, deep and green, the smell of the air was very fresh, no street smells, no cars.
The group went from the current street and walked as it started to blend into red brick, until finally the road was nothing but brick. The day was pleasantly cool and they continued to the wall, looking at how high it was, trying to see past the first entrance as they came closer, two men stood at the entrance. One was dressed just as Angel and the three others recognized as the soldiers of the past, armor, sword, heavy gloves and dress. The other was dressed in modern military gear, he had a rifle on his shoulder.
Mandi walked with Blue and Uncle closer to the rear, Count went to the two men and asked. "Why are you both not dressed the same?" The man dressed in the older suit answered. "Darlin, and most agree that we wanted to keep the feel of the old world, though incorporating the new. Come on in, we have to get to the next wall before your transportation comes. The buildings have been kept the same, though there are more, windows have been added to keep in the air conditioning, it was decided that the windows would be amber colored, blue, orange, red, yellow, and others. It makes the city glow nicely at night."
The others started to follow him beyond the entrance and he kept talking. "All the flowers you see are to help with the smell, here at this level is where the majority of the cattle, pigs, chickens, sheep, horses and other animals are raised. There is even a few small ponds with fresh water fish around the area. Everyone still has work to do, some are farmers, some builders, some lawyers." He stopped turned around and rolled his eyes. "Yeah, you still have to have some rules."
He turned around and kept walking and talked some more as the others followed him. They could see buildings, fences, animals, and people working. The soldier started to speak again. "We decided to keep the old stone bridges as well, they have withstood the time and are very solid, and much more pleasant to the eye than modern ones." Some looked as he spoke and Anjel, Count, Katz and Angel noticed to old style lanterns on posts. A flame inside burning, modernized to work, but rustic looking. The water was flowing underneath it steadily, a few children were playing in it and splashing each other.
The grounds were kept up very well, very few weeds or unwanted plants grew, mostly by the creek and around the fence posts. The group followed the soldier to the next entrance. "Well this is where I stop, your transportation will be on the other side, have a good day." "Thank you." said Count as he shook his hand, others nodded and smiled and they walked through the next great wall. There was a lady standing there, smiling at them. "Hello, and welcome, you have a choice between buggies, and older form of transportation, or an all electric car, we do not use fossil fuels to run them at all. And completely your choice."
Uncle said. "I will take the car thank you." The rest started to unanimously state they wanted the older transportation, the feel of the old world was exciting. The group went to the back of the buggy and started to get in, Uncle saw this and sighed. "Fine." He thought and said. "I will take the buggy as well."
