"Hmmm... I see."
Queen Hesabeth bowed her head and went into deep thought as she considered her advisor’s words. Was that really the reason why she was thinking about Jason? She just wanted to see him? Well, it would certainly not be a bad idea to see Jason, and since Hesabeth knew that Jason had not been captured yet, it was possible to track him down.
’But the question is where he would be. I last heard he travelled across the territory of the Beast of the Apocalypse on Hanir. It is unlikely he would die to something like that, so he would have passed Hanir, and he would be on his way to Riyad at this time. Riyad might be a reasonable place to find him, so I will make my way there. He might not be there, but... no, he will be there. The universe has plagued my mind with thoughts of him, so I am certain that any action I take now is the will of the universe. I shall simply walk forward, and things shall fall into place for me.’
Queen Hesabeth suddenly stood up from her throne and flicked her hand fan shut before she smiled down at Favina in a proud manner.
"You have found great favour in my eyes, Favina. Your advice has been invaluable once again, and I shall reward you justly for your wisdom. Now, prepare my carriage. I am heading out."
Favina had already started feeling a sense of pride rising in her chest as she heard Hesabeth praising her, but the moment Hesabeth asked her to prepare the carriage, Favina felt her eyes widen! Wait, what the hell!? Hesabeth wanted to do this now!? They were in the middle of peak trade and harvest season, and there were so many different things that they needed to do! They couldn’t take this time to go searching for some Earthling!
"My Queen, are you certain this is a good idea? From the rumors I heard, has Jason Marc not already been branded as a Black Enigma? Would associating with him not cause more problems for us?"
"The actions of mere mortals hold no cadence over my exalted self. My desires are the will of the world, and my decrees are greater than the law of any land. Black Enigma or not, if I say I wish to speak with Jason Marc, then speak with him I shall."
Hesabeth levelled Favina with a heavy stare when she said all this, and even though Favina would have just laughed if anyone else said something like this, she couldn’t even feel a shred of amusement at Hesabeth’s claims, because Favina knew that everything Hesabeth said was true. The world always protected and guided Hesabeth towards the right path. There has only ever been one time when Hesabeth’s desires were not met by the world, and that had been one of the darkest moments in this domain due to the sheer fury that Hesabeth unleashed. No matter how badly Favina wanted Hesabeth to remain behind and perform her Queenly duties, there was nothing that Favina could do to stop her.
’Even if she is whimsical, at least all her decisions so far have been beneficial for our world. Her Primordial Bias is what leads her whimsical nature, and it has never steered her wrong before. I can’t complain about her attitude if it brings prosperity to us.’
Even though Queen Hesabeth had always been a wild card, there was no denying that she was the greatest thing that ever happened to Minori and all the worlds around it. Her mere presence raised the standard of living of every single person in the world, and it boosted their economic trade with the worlds parallel to theirs. Hesabeth had every right to do whatever she wanted, and nothing anyone could do would stop her. Favina sighed silently before she bowed her head to Hesabeth and left to do as she was told! Hesabeth looked out the window at the side, and she released a small huff and smiled. She was going to see Jason, and she would finally find an answer to why he plagued her mind so much.

[The World of Bi’Nazin]
[Ten Dimensional Leaps Away From Riyad]
[The Desert of Blue Sand]
For as far as the eye could see, there was nothing but a vast desert of dark blue sand. The desert stretched across the entire surface of Bi’Nazin and formed large dunes and sand waves that rolled across the desert surface. The moon had risen in the sky and cast a silver glow across the world that made the dark blue sand shine like something ethereal, and there were strong winds rolling through the desert surface and carrying the sand with them. This was known as the Desert of Blue Sand, and it was one of the most beautiful attractions in this region of the Primordial Domain. There were people who travelled across entire worlds just to glance at this desert, and none ever left disappointed since the desert was every bit as ethereal and majestic as people claimed it would be.
But right now, there were no tourists in this world, and the only thing that could be seen trekking across her world was a large caravan made up of many carriages that were being pulled by massive sand lizards. Around the carriages, some guards with swords were riding on the back of some more sand lizards, and they were all keeping an eye out for any sign of danger. The caravan was migrating west of their previous settlement due to a rumor that had spread across this part of the Primordial Domain recently of a sighting of the Beast of the Apocalypse in a world known as Yortsed. Yortsed was only five Dimensional Leaps away from Bi’Nazin, so it was obvious that the inhabitants of this world would feel terrified once they heard that news, and they decided that they needed to migrate in order to ensure they didn’t run into the Beast of the Apocalypse. In front of the group, there was a woman sitting on the back of a large black lizard. She was wearing a pair of loose trousers and a loose cotton top that allowed her to withstand the hot day and cold night of this world, and around her lower face was a black scarf that blocked out the worst of the dust in the air. The woman had deep black eyes that scanned over everything around her with a cold intensity and short black hair that looked like it had been cut by an inexperienced person using a simple instrument like a sword. But the woman didn’t care much about her appearance and her only concern at this moment was making sure that the group reached their new settlement without any issue. The woman was moving ahead of the group to make sure that there were no monsters around that could pose a threat to them.
A few minutes into the journey, the woman raised her hand and forced everyone to stop in their tracks. The woman narrowed her eyes at something on the horizon, and she heard someone coming up from beside her.
"Stella, is everything okay? Why are we stopping here?"
A young man guided his lizard forward and spoke in a curious tone. Unlike Stella, who had fair skin and a human-like appearance, this man had red skin and yellow slit eyes, and there were small white tattoos drawn along his arms and legs to show that he was a warrior of the tribe. This man was named Sagarda, and he was a member of the Nazin tribe here on Bi’Nazin as well as one of Stella’s closest friends.
