As the queen left the capital in haste, a gravity ship landed in Sofia. The sails of the ship were rectangular and had a flag flapping in the wind at the top of the mast. The flag had a depiction of a devil that had a white beard and horns.
Along with the gravity ship, two smaller ships accompanied the larger ship. Both of these two ships had an iron ceiling with pikes popping out and looked like a turtle. Cannons lined the sides of the smaller armored ships with a sail coming out of the armored shells.
The tower had already three ships, but as soon as they saw the flag with a devil on it, they sailed away like they were afraid of them.
The largest of the three ships docked at the tower with the soldiers and guards looking confused as to where the peculiar sipped had come. Never had they seen such ships.
The merchants, sailors, captains and traders from all around the universe who had come to buy the much demanded and rumored high-quality gravity stone, on the ground level, looked up. They all had surprised looks on their faces and were whispering.
"The gremlins have come," they whispered.
As the ship docked a large armored person jumped off. It had glowing eyes with its entire body covered in armor like it had large scales. It had a red stone embedded on its forehead and it would have even towered a grey skin easily. It almost looked like a machine more than a living being.
It walked and stared at the guards who were struck by fear by the metallic being who towered them.
"Do not scare these backwater people. They have yet to see any true marvels of engineering," someone said in an unknown language.
A small, around a half a normal man's size, creature sitting on a plate that floated in the air came from the ship. He had a fan that he used to cool himself off while wearing a colorful red robe. It had large ears, a gaping mouth, and devil-like horns and in many ways looked deceitful. It was a Dokkaebi from the Dokkaebis' world.

"My good soldier, I would wish to see some of the gravity stones you mine. Would you point to the direction where I might inspect some of these goods?" the dokkaebi asked politely from the soldier in human language.
"Yes. Of course. This way please."

As they went down the creature covered in iron armor and the dokkaebi just sneered at the outdated technology of the elevator. They laughed and saw themselves in every way superior.
When they reached down, the thing with the iron armor pushed everyone out of the way for the dokkaebi floating on the plate. As they made their way to the iron sickle's headquarters where they sold the high-quality gravity stones.
The dokkaebi floated in front of the registry with the thing in the iron armor standing behind him not letting anyone else into the store.
"Could we get a sample of your product?" the dokkaebi asked politely.
The man in the registry brought a few stones of the shiny gravity stone for the dokkaebi to inspect. The dokkaebi made the gravity stone float into his arm and took a closer look at it. He smiled and gave it back.
"I would like to speak to the king of this country. Where would I find him?" the dokkaebi asked again politely.

A few days later in the royal palace in the throne room, a man rushed in through the doors. Rufus was sitting on the throne with all his friends from Edward to Amala being present with also count Hunyadi.
"My king, we have an urgent guest who wishes to have your audience right away," the man yelled.
"We don't give audiences just like that," Doreen said back.
"This is not just any guest my king. He is a diplomat from the Dokkaebi world. He comes on behalf of many of their CEOs and even on behalf of one of their gods. He demands an audience," the man explained.
"I believe I didn't demand anything. I distinctly remember asking very politely," the dokkaebi said and entered the throne room not wanting to wait no longer.
The man looked terrified as the dokkaebi glided on his plate past him with the iron being walking behind him with a pale-looking creature chained up and being walked like a dog. The chained being had long curly hair with a humanoid structure. Its hands and legs were though different that resembled more of an insect and its mouth was also larger that stretched far to the cheeks.
The dokkaebi looked around and saw that all of them looked wary of him, especially the man who had rushed into the throne room. He stared at him with the man thinking he would be killed soon for quoting him wrong.
