'Ay ay ay ay ay' Cody sighed as he walked down the station calmly. Somewhat maintaining his ''steez". He was really obsessed with that stuff. The Cryfderian train station was quite the one, packed with aristocratic and high level trains of the Pendragon family, the ruling class. It had a hundred tracks, fifty platforms and an exotic ticket station.

The building was similar to a residential house with a modern architectural design using the height of Terran Tech which was labeled 'MAGITECH' to aid in it's design.

It comprised of clean lines, a flat roof, and a mix of materials, including wood panels, concrete, and glass all magically enhanced.

The ground floor includes a drifterport with space for one vehicle, while the upper floor has a balcony with iron railings. Large glass windows are prominently displayed, allowing natural light to pierce through the interior.

The station is surrounded by greenery and has a mountain backdrop, adding to its aesthetic appeal with the Cryfderian flag proudly hoisted atop the roof.

It was this same national and tourist attraction that he boldly entered before quickly retreating

'Woah I'm wanted'

To Black, the only stain on this magnificent building were those wanted posters of his.

'I have to disguise, time to be creative'

It was around 4 am by this time

'Oy Sulliva' ' he called out to his wand the way he always did, in a very weird accent his wave seemed to love. 'Morphing spell, Change!' he said pointing the wave at himself 'Sorry Steez, my life first'.

The man that walked into the building was about eightt years of age with a hunched back, torn clothes and dirty grey hair. He walked to the counter. The attendant was somewhat unfazed but Cody was looking at the lady.

'A tick...ticket for Vorfahr'

'That will cost you fifteen thousand Cryfs'

He brought out his wallet and the sum equally, he really made sure to turn the knob on for the body odour. The passengers behind were wrinkling their noses.

'Hey oldie, scram quickly we're in a hurry here!!' they screamed. Cody was not bothered obviously the disguise was quite good he patted his own back.

'That's your ticket' she said collecting the sum which surprisingly had extra, he winked at her and let his purple eyes radiate their bewitching, womanizing aura, the aura that every Cryfderian knew. He quickly put his hand on his lips to tell her to be quiet while walking away sluggishly to strengthen his act.

The amount he gave her was over seventy five percent extra. It also contained a note.

She took an excuse from the manager and swapped out with another attendant.

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

On the note was written 'Meet me at the back of the station in twenty minutes max, falter and you die'. She shrugged her shoulders in pure terror, Cody Black never made empty threats. 'But why is he saving me?' she thought.

She was suddenly dragged into a VIP toilet. After letting her recover from her shock he said.

'Because I heavily respect ladies' he said as if he had read her mind. She appeared shocked, horrified.

'Oh... I don't read minds, I read people. It's very damn obvious that's what you were thinking'.

'What do you want from me?' she cried.

'A night' he said drawing closer to her

'What?!! I beg you don't. Please.' his hand stroking her hair

'You can't even take a joke. I'm not that terrible.'

She sighed 'Shouldn't you be escaping for your life now'

'Patience fair lady. My dearest apologies, before I proceed may I have your name'

'Ceri, Ceri Bach' she gave the name a bit reluctantly.

'Age?'

'Twenty'

'The thing is Ceri, when I return from Illheim, Black mansion will probably be confiscated. I'll need somewhere to stay. Can you pardon this young man to tarry with you'

'What do I stand to gain' she had somehow gained confidence.

'Don't worry, I will help you out'

'Explain'

'You have a younger one?'

'Carwyn, he's sixteen'

'Ah! I'll get him to Eldritch academy with preferential treatment and a scholarship'

Her eyes brightened

'Really?'

'It's the least an unwanted guest can do' he said turning his back to her

'I'm glad you know'. With that he turned to face her and walked closer to her. After reaching an appropriate distance, he scanned her from head to toe. Ceri was a buxom young blonde with shoulder length hair. She had fair skin and pink lips with hazel eyes. She was of average height. She was wearing the attendant uniform which consisted of a turned in white shirt which had the Cryfderian train station logo boldly printed on the left chest with a deep blue tie and a black skirt. She left two of her buttons open and let her tie rest on the third button. She had also adorned her ears with black rose earrings.

'Shit!' his babe is hot' he thought whilst still scanning her slowly. He paused 'She's basically on Irene's level' he licked his lips at the thought of Irene. She got sensitive.

'What?' She asked shyly revealing a blush

'Oh nothing' he said while boldly dragging her tie up to the second button. Their eyes interlocked.

'Back off' she suddenly protested whine adjusting her clothes 'You have a deal'

'Alright. Be expecting a visitor late at night someday. Don't worry if anyone else knocks, it'll be Rick. And tell your brother about me I don't want any ruckus'

'Noted'

'Ceri?..'

'What??'

'Are you married?' she blushed

'The train leaves in twenty minutes. You had better escape now.' She said still blushing. She quickly walked out before things could get more awkward.

Cody smiled as he left the area knowing he had a shot. 'Even Rick doesn't get it. I ain't escaping, I'm leaving. I need a place to stay before this Illheim shit cools down. Dining, meh that ain't my style'

He sluggishly resumed his disguise add her boarded the train. He took a seat by the window in order to facilitate a possible escape.
