Vikram stands up and grabs Mejash's shoulder with hand.
Mejash helps him up.
He picks up his coat and, trembling, puts it on. He then holds his hat in his hand, while Mejash continued to hold onto him.
The gate opens, and both of them walk out through it.
{It is day. The plane has landed 7.5 km above the Earth.}
Outside the gate were two men with faces like deer, standing 9.5 feet tall, with long antlers.
Vikram began to walk on his own.
As they stepped out of the plane and began to walk, the two of them started following behind them.
As they proceeded, wherever they went, beautiful girls stood with their faces covered by veils.
{Mejash was looking as if he didn't know what was happening, while Vikram was acting as if he knew.}
They walk a little further and come upon a grand, massive royal court.
At the very front, high above, is a throne where a queen is seated. Her lips are purple, and four chains are tied to those lips, tethered to the wall high behind her.
{The chains are tied to the corners of her lips, on both lips.}
The line of girls extended only up to the point where the royal court began.
Now, only the two Cervids,
Queen Tsarina Rex Enace Leret
Mejash, and Vikram were present there.
Mejash kneels and bows his head, but Vikram does not bow.
The Cervids held tridents in their hands and began pointing them toward Vikram, demanding, "Bow down!"
The queen pulls a thick chain from the wall and strikes them both with it, saying, "Deers, do you know who this is, you stupid venison?"
{The two of them did not fall. Instead, they returned to the exact spot where they had been standing.}
At the queen's gesture, Mejash vanishes.
The queen says, "Verus, what do you want from me, and what can you offer me so that I may give you something in return?"
"Tsarina Rex Enace Leret, I have already given you one thing, and I will give you three more. In return, I want four things from you."
"What have you given me?"
Vikram replies, "Black blood."
The queen, shocked, says, "Black blood exists only on the Malev plane! No one could possibly bring it from there!"
Vikram says, "But my father could bring it, and he did."
The queen immediately gestures for Mejash to come back. Mejash, who is bathing, falls down naked and then screams.
The queen strikes with that same heavy chain, and he splits into two pieces.
{Immediately after he was split apart, while his body was still in the air, A yellow bubble formed around him, the black blood streamed from the severed parts and fused them back together.}
