Chương 111: Arriving in Seattle
The plane ride was tranquil with no screaming children. This was the last flight that was paid for by Luke and Diana. Which was a good thing for two reasons. One, they could stop spending money, and two, I could move up into first class. Which I was planning to do on this flight anyway. I simply used Imperio on a flight attendant to let me get into the first-class area and then used Imperio on a man who was travelling alone.
I really did love this curse. It was too useful. The man gladly gave up his seat and took mine back in business class. I felt half bad for him so I got the attendant to give him first-class food and the such to make up for it. The difference between First class and the rest was like that of night and day. The comfort was also elevated. I easily fell asleep in the quiet and respectful environment. The flight wasn't too long so I only slept a couple of hours.
I woke up to the same sinking feeling that I still hadn't gotten used to. It meant that we were descending. The smell of rain assaulted my nostrils as I walked out of the plane. It was raining heaving which I thoroughly enjoyed. Rain was like a haven for me. I had finally arrived in Seattle. I got confused at first since there were two Washington's. One was Washington state, and the other was Washington DC. They were on opposite sides of the country. I didn't bother to check why but I must admit, the laziness of these fellows is astounding. But there might be a reason for it. Or not, who cares.
I got through the Seattle airport and walked out into the rain with a wide smile. I spread my arms open as if embracing the rain. It was about 6 in the afternoon and even though it was still light out since It was mid-summer, it wasn't too bright. it further improved my mood as I simply walked along the concrete walk path as the rain pelted my shoulders.
Some people were looking at me oddly. Again, the tattoos, and because I was in a bright yellow shirt with floral designs with blue shorts and flip-flops. I really liked how simple and cheerful this getup was. Fuck suits and all that, sure, I stuck out like a sore thumb most of the time, but since when did I start caring about public opinion. I raised my left arm to see the ever changing tattoo's that depicted a portion of an ancient story. Naturally, the muggles couldn't see it but that didn't stop them from being attracted to such a young kid with tattoos.
Raised my hand and glided it over my hair, pulling it back since it was obstructing my vision. "Where should we go gentlemen?" I asked.
{Let's go exploring a bit, I haven't seen the outside world in centuries, and you haven't seen much of America,} Achlys reasoned.
"What about you Drak? What do you think?" I asked.
[I don't mind, I haven't seen America in a couple of decades, so why not.] he said in affirmation.
"Alright, exploration it is," I said with a nodded and continued to walk through the rain. we walked aimlessly across the streets exploring. I walked into a store and bought myself some more Hawaiian shirts and shorts before walking out of the store. I also bought some shades that I put on and continued to walk before flagging down a cab and heading towards the space needle. I always wanted to go there. It was incredibly tall and looking at the city from up there was a fantastic experience. I wish Luke and Diana could have joined me but alas, maybe another time. After all, this wouldn't be the last time I came to America.
After spending an hour at the space needle taking in the crazy view, I searched for a five-star hotel and got myself a suite using Imperio and slept soundly.
The sound of Birds in the morning could be heard accompanied by the sound of traffic, honking and so on. I stretched before getting up, washing my face and getting changed into my Hawaiian outfit. I wasn't even ashamed to stand out, it was comfortable. I walked into the elevator and pressed the button with the '1' on it that symbolised the first floor. When the doors closed, I felt the same sinking feeling again that lasted a couple of seconds before the elevator came to a stop. There was good music playing. When I walked out, I headed to the exit and flagged down a cab and got it.
"Where do you wanna go young man?" asked the cab driver. I was surprised he didn't question me, but it was best this way.
"Redmond Please," I said with a smile. but the cab driver looked surprised and hesitant. I sighed and used the Imperio curse on him. His face changed from a frown to a wide smile and started driving. I didn't need to explain why or convince him to make the trip. Nor did I feel like it. I had better things to do. Luke gave me enough money to pay the dude in any case. I would feel too guilt since he did go quite far.
I really needed to find some rich fellow with a lot of money and get him to graciously donate some of it to me. But that would have to wait. For now, I sat there with my eyes closed practising Occlumency since it was lagging behind. It got harder to progress the further in I went. Unlike Legitimacy, It didn't flow easily, it was like chipping away at a rock with a plastic spoon. It was annoying and grating but I had to do it.
