Indeed the rumors of the two wandering dragons was well spread. Even Enthavion had heard about their travels. Unlike the phantom however he had even known who it was that was traveling, for he knows all of the dragons of the world. And why not, he is one of them, one of the oldest dragons too. But that wasn't the only rumor that had caught Enthavion's attention. He had heard rumors about the phantom as well, and if they were true then things didn't bode well for the world as a whole.
Enthavion started observing Kinasha's movements as she approached the mechanized city and he had followed her through the digital labyrinth. He sensed the presence of the machines and of Antiquity when they had approached the junk yard. Hearing Kinasha scream at her mother brought a smile to his face. *Your mother would have jumped too, you get it from her.*
Enthavion listened to the conversation between Antiquity and Kinasha. His cloaking ability kept them from sensing him as he hid behind one of the piles of junk.
The phantoms appearance came out of nowhere. His words only served to confirm the validity of the rumors about him. However there was still no way of discerning which rumors were true or false. Enthavion would have to investigate further to learn what was going on. He watched and listened closely to the interaction.
Enthavion continues to sense the phantom as he leaves until after walking a ways his power vanishes. *Shadow teleportation.* He turns his attention back to Kinasha and Antiguity. *A meeting with the Machine King? This will prove interesting.*

"...hm... you are a kind and gentle being." Anti hummed, as he and the Ancient Gears looked at Kinasha. "...but if you seek to meet with the Machine King, you cannot just waltz up to his castle to ask for an audience." Then, he looked upwards. "...it's getting late. You'll probably have a better chance of meeting him in the morning." With that, he moved his hand over a pile of scrap, and grabbed it. "...below here is where my friends slumber until they feel that danger is imminent. I suppose you could rest there until morning arrives."
With that, he lifted the entire pile up, to reveal a passageway that led down underground. "...if you need someone to converse with, the engineers, like myself, are fluent in the language of otherworlders. You'll know that they're engineers because of their drills." After he said that, the machines began retreating into the piles of scrap; burrowing into them and vanishing from view.

guess you are right..." Kinasha sighed slightly, and raised her head to stare at Anti and then at his troops. She just shrugged when he mentioned about needing to stay so she could see the Machine King later.
Her eyes widened in surprise as the giant golem raised some scraps, to reveal a secret passage. She wanted to giggle with joy for the first time, who knew what sorts of things these machines posses

"...I'm way too big to fit into these passageways, so if you need me, I shall be waiting up here." Anti said with a nod, whilst some of the smaller mechs began dragging Kinasha towards the passage. "Do not worry; I shall ensure that no evildoer will come close to you, young one."
The smaller machines buzzed in agreement, as some of them huddled a bit closer to the princess.

"Eep! H-hey!" she gasped in surprised as the smaller, tiny droids just started to literally drag her into the passage. She couldn't help but to laugh, they seemed so happy! The rumors of them being destructive monsters looked so false...she wished her people could see them and make friends.
"Thanks Anti. I'll see you tomorrow then!" said the young dragon, her worries no longer present as she now started to walk on her own into the passage.
It was a pretty long way down, and she thanked the gods that she had good night vision or she wouldn't even know were she was heading. After a few minutes, she could finally see a light coming from what seemed to be a large room. The dragoness closed her eyes a tiny bit and opened them again to adjust to the brightness, inside there were dozens, no. Hundreds of different kinds of machines, all together doing their chores and other things. It was truly impressive to say the least.

Eventually, a few machines around the same height as Kinasha approached her; all three of them having drills for right arms. "...zo, you muzt be the young lazz that Antiquity found up above?" one of them hummed.
"'ou 'ill 'ave 'o 'orgive 's; 'e're 'ot 'o 'ell-'ersed 'n 'peaking 'ike 'ntiquity 's." another of them shot in.
"We Ancient Gear Engineers. Welcome to Ancient Gear Castle." the third one spoke, before all three of them gave her a bow.

The young dragon jumped slightly as the trio approached her, they looked rather intimidating with their giant, and dangerous drills on their arms but when they introduced themselves it was anything but. She smiled slightly and gave them a small bow of her own.
"Hello there Engineers! I'm Kinasha...I guess I will be here until dawn" she giggled a bit, placing a hand on her head and scratching a bit. She felt a little embarrassed...she was giving this simple mission in gathering information about the king of all the machines and here she was...but on the bright side she indeed has met droids with pretty colorful personalities, and she was sure her mother would kindly approve of them.
Not to mention that she told her the news about that Witty Phantom character...
Shaking her head slightly, and forgetting about that bad fiend, she tilted her head to the side and looked around the place...it was simply enormous! And it looked so well done! She wondered if they alone built this castle.
"Did you guys built this?" she asked in amazement.

"Oh, thiz?" the first engineer hummed, as he looked around him. "Actually, thiz iz a group effort by all Ancient Gearz. And believe me; ze caztle iz juzt the tip of the iceberg!"
"We have factory and workshop too." the third engineer said with a nod. "Factory for customization and creating new gears. Workshop for repairs."
"'or 'ther, 'maller 'rojects, 'hough, 'e 'ake 'are 'f 'hem." the second engineer began. "'anks, 'xplosives, 'ists 'or 'ntiquity, 'nd 'f 'ourse 'rills; 'hat's 'll 's."

"Wow..."
Kinasha was truly impressed with the size and complexity of the castle, hell she was impressed that this enormous place was all done by machines! Truly she needs to tell all of this to her mother! This was good news indeed.
"A workshop and a factory? To like...make more of your friends and fix them?" Kinasha blinked before looking at the second engineer. So they had weapons of mass destruction too huh? Yea she saw a few of their tanks outside but to have an entire arsenal of them...these robots were more powerful than she thought.
"It's interesting...we don't have any of these things back were I come from. Sorry if I may act a bit ignorant, it's my first time here" she said with a smile.

"Oh, don't apologize; we don't exactly have many vizitorz down here to begin with." the first engineer replied with a chuckle. "I zuppoze that you could compare our factoriez and workzhopz to hozpitalz in your realm."
"'e 'ave 'o 'ake 'ue 'ith 'hat 'e 'ot." the second engineer nodded.
"It easy for most part. Old parts good for Ancient Gears." the third engineer mused. "And other machines toss old parts in scrapyard. We consider it payment."

"I see. So even machines get sick and need treatment huh?" the young dragon hummed, scratching at her chin a tiny bit before she turned to look at the third engineer.
"Anti told me that I would see this Machine King person tomorrow...is he...nice?" she asked, with a bit of worry in her tone of voice. Hearing them say about other machines getting tossed into the scrapyard like nothing was kind of cruel...even for a machine. But at least this good ones get a living for them right?

The three engineers coughed a little, as they tilted their heads.
"...nice... huh." the first one hummed. "...well... it dependz on how you imagine a nice man to be."
"Machine King good leader." the third one explained. "He protective of Geartown. He kind to subjects"
"'ut 'he 'roblem, 'ow 'ou 'ay..." the second one murmured. "...'e's 'ot 'oo 'ond 'f 'utsiders."
"That'z right." the first engineer sighed. "He believez that Geartown doezn't need to get involved with the affairz of otherz. Not that he izn't wary of what occurz around him, but he would rather not rizk hiz people being caught in the crozzfire."
"'o 'ou 'ight 'xpect 'im 'o 'e 'omewhat 'ismissive 'hen 'ou 'eet 'im." the second one said.

"I see..."
Kinasha sighed slightly, if what they said was true about the Machine King not liking to get involved with others, she figured that the answer to her mothers request was pretty obvious, but then again, since he knows what exactly is going on with the other realm maybe he might chance his mind?
Well since would probably be here for a while she might as well go on and meet this Machine King guy and besides...she was practically stuck here until her mother either sends her some escort dragons or her new allies come to 'save' her from trouble...and she was hoping it wont be the second one, she kind of thought the six samurais were scary.

"...well... zhall we arrange a bed for you?" the first engineer suggested. "If you are to meet the Machine King, you zhould be fully rezted."
"'e 'ave 'repared 'uest 'uarters 'or 'ny 'ossible 'isitors; 't's 'ar 'ore 'omfortable 'han 'ur 'sual 'uarters." the second one nodded.
"Third room to left. Sleep there." the third one said with a nod. "Antiquity wake you in morning."

"Wow you sure do are prepared" Kinasha giggled, and they said that they didn't received many visitors aside from the machines of course.
She turned around and gave them a cute little bow "Thanks for your hospitality! See you in the morning" Kinasha smiled at them, turning around and walking over to were the engineers told her.
When Kinasha entered the room, she glanced around it. It was just a simple, yet pretty comfortable room. A bed, a night table, a few chairs with a table and...
"Oh my Ra! A shower!" the dragoness squealed happily and ran towards the bathroom...hopefully tomorrow she will meet up the machine ruler, get him to join them, and finally get escorted back home.
Nothing should go wrong....
