While Florian was being told everything about what recently happened, and some things related to Orion, Amelia and Karteira were on the side of their house.

"You want it here? Isn't it too close to the house?"

Karteira asked, watching a pondering Amelia.

"It's a guest house, it's not like there's going to be many reasons to see us."

"Well, that's true. There's not going to be any emergency in this place, so the only thing would be to chat."

Amelia nodded.

"So, what are you thinking so hard about?"

"I'm imagining the shape of the building, if it needs a second floor, or not, and the number of rooms I need."

"Well, there's already the quee- I mean, Dramia and Drania. Then there's Kamala, right?"

'I almost called them queens again. I need to watch my mouth around others.'

She was thinking of Florian. Until Orion said so, he was not to be trusted with private informations about the fairies.

Even Kamala, who was their friends, didn't received much explanations about them. She only knew that Karteira was a fairy, that most of them looked more insectoid than human, and that they were led by a Remnant somewhere related to Dead White forest.

"Yes, and from what I know the sisters always sleep together, so that's one room for them. For Kamala too obviously. No one needs to rooms anyway."

Amelia opened her hands and displayed two fingers. She lifted a third one.

"If everything goes right with Orion's side, then that man Florian will be added."

Karteira nodded, then continued what Amelia started, using her memories.

"There's another man that we don't know about, and a girl named Olivia. That's four rooms."

"Hmm... Just in case, I'll create six rooms."

After making her choices, she was about to start creating it.

"Isn't it going to tire you?"

Amelia turned around with a smile.

"Yes, that's going to be incredibly exhausting, but not as much as creating that house."

She pointed with her thumb toward their house.

Karteira laughed and agreed with Amelia.

"Well, if you need anything just ask, I'll wait behind you not to be a bother."

"Thank you."

After both girls walked away from each other, Amelia looked at the white expanse in front of her.

'This place needs serious improvements. First, we'll need to create a different flooring. Roads between the houses, and grass around here. I want some trees too, maybe even a orchard would be interesting.'

'I will talk to Orion about it. I'm sure we'll find a way to make this place look better.'

This place was like a huge white paper, ready to be colored in any way possible. Through Orion, it would be possible to link more creations to the ring, which maintain everything in shape.

'It's just sad that Orion has to use his father's ring for us. I'm sure he would have preferred to keep it close.'

'The least I can do is make is life as comfortable as possible while in Horizon.'

Amelia stopped to think at that moment. She closed her eyes, hearing the voices of her elements like she did when building the first house.

Her vision of the building was clear in her mind.

She clapped her hand loudly, starting the start of the building process.

~

A big flash of light blinded the area, all the way to where Orion was.

He took a table and three chairs out of the house to talk outside.

'She's started. Ego, link my magic storage to her like before.'

Without receiving an answer, he felt his magic being drained at a fast rate.

'Hard working lady isn't she?'

He smiled and returned to the discussion. Seeing the perplexed expression of Kamala and Florian, there was some explanations to do.

"Can I ask what this is about without sounding too pushy? This amount of magic is something extremely bothering."

"As you can see, this place is devoid of anything. This house wasn't there to begin with."

He looked at the house, with the other two following his gaze.

"The one who creating it was Amelia. Except a few things, she crafted it by herself, with the use of her elements."

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

Florian's jaw almost fell on the table, as he opened his eyes wide.

"Is that even possible? I believe you aren't someone that unnecessarily joke about such matters, but this is hard to believe."

"I couldn't either when I heard about it, but it's true. Everything stays together thanks to an item that stores magic inside it."

Kamala told what she was herself explained during the month she spend with them.

"What you're feeling is stronger than the usual use she has of her elements, because she uses the five elements together at the same time."

"The five elements?!"

Florian slammed his hands on the table and stood up in shock.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't expecting such a thing from a lady."

He sat down the moment his composure returned.

"I understand you, it's a miracle she possess all of the elements and managed to perfectly use them until now. She also fights pretty well."

Orion took the opportunity that Kamala brought to ask something.

"Would you like to fight against us at some point? I am quite interested in your ability to move by using lightning as propulsion."

Blinking a few times, Florian realized that he couldn't hide anything from Orion.

'Cautious, and observant. Just like our first meeting.'

He internally laughed and smiled at Orion.

"Of course, I'll be happy to test you and your friends. Though, I would ask not to use those arrows on me."

Orion grimaced at that. He heard that so many times it wasn't funny anymore.

"I won't, I only shoot arrows at my enemies, or in case of practice. Never in a training fight."

Hearing a sigh of relief, his face returned to neutral.

"My condolences."

Kamala simply said, knowing what really was going to happen.

"Why? It's only training."

She looked at Orion with an accusing gaze, asking 'Are you serious?' with her eyes.

He looked away when he remembered the many times he threw Kamala on the ground during training, or the times she was too exhausted to continue, but still forced her to push her limits further.

"Now that I look at you two, I have a bad feeling about what that 'training' is."

"It's nightmarish, but I'll be honest. It is working exceptionally well in making you stronger. In only one month, I've managed to greatly improve my stamina, and even develop new abilities thanks to him."

It was the reality of things. It was maybe the most painful way to improve, but guided by someone like Orion who thought about what was best for the one being trained, it led to serious improvements.

Kamala created her stone platforms during training, but the idea to push herself with wind was Orion's.

By applying his advices, she began to slowly improve her control over both elements at the same time.

The rock throw was also something she thought about when she had to think of a way to attack Ivan at long range.

There was more potential with sand, but she had a strange problem while using it. The output was completely random. Sometimes she created too much of it, or too little. It was impossible to use, and she had a thought about the reason why.

"If you say it like this, then I have to try this training for myself. By the way, I heard sometimes troubling."

Orion and Kamala listen, no understanding what was troubling at all.

"When did you two meet?"

"Four days ago, why?"

Nonchalantly, she answered without even hiding the problem.

"You've said that you trained with him for a month. Kamala, what are you saying now?"

She felt the weird look Florian was giving her.

"We haven't explained that yet."

Orion caught his attention by saying that. Florian listened quietly.

"This space is special, it has been created from my very own magic. Time and space work completely different here. For an hour in here, one minute is spent on the other side."

"..."

Florian began to think at high speed, processing what he had heard.

"You are incredible."

Out of nowhere, a praise left Florian's mouth.

"Not only you possess the power of multiple elements, you can manipulate time and space? Though I do not fully understand these principles, I know how they work. Does that mean that you can change those settings at any point?"

Eager to learn more about him, he pressed on. But Orion shook his head.

"I cannot change how the time flow. I could try to fluctuate the space around us, but that would be exhausting for nothing. Time is more fickle, and I'm scared to play with it if I have to be honest."

He remembered that feeling of being observed before.

'I'm pretty sure it is someone, or something related to time or space itself. If not, how are they supposed to find me in this secluded place? That's why I'll avoid being noticed by whatever that was."

Well, sadly for him, the one he felt was currently watching everything, and that would never change.

"Anyway, that's why we've already spent a month knowing each other. I've helped her get ready against Ivan."

Florian stood up from his chair and walked next to Orion.

"Once again, thank you very much for helping our friend. Without you, I fear the three of us would have despaired, and the situation would be worse as we defend multiple important locations."

He extended his hand to Orion, who grabbed it without hesitation.

'Respect and gratitude. I can accept that. Let's give him a chance.'

"You've spoken about something I'm interested about. Since your ancestors already lived in the cities you are currently in, could you explain why those locations are important?"

Florian sat back on his seat and placed his elbows on the table, glancing at Kamala.

She nodded, and explained something to him.

"I trust him enough that I spoke about Bandir. Amelia is the only survivor, the daughter of Henrietta."

"..."

Florian closed his eyes, then reopened them not long after.

"Could you stop sending me shocking news right after the other? I'm having a hard time processing everything."

He pushed the matter of Bandir on the side of his mind, and decided on what to do.

"Well, if you trust him enough, you will tell him anyway. I'll do it then."

"All Apostles are located at a city where something needs to be either protected, guarded, or built there to extract resources. There's also the proximity to dark cores, but that's a more recent matter."

"For exemple, Hocride was built there in the past to help invade the other continent. Though the records speaks of a man capable of breaking the boats from afar, while also existing for millenium still."

'This might be the equivalent of the Remnants for the other continent.'

"So, when that option was unsuccessful, it became a small port town, where only the bare minimum was to fish, and hunt some of the corrupted sea creatures."

Kamala nodded, since everything that he said was in the Apostle book.

"Albriar is in the center of Triazils, to act as the main city where everything can move from the left and the right of the continent. It is a supply spot, yet, it is also the logistics of items that needs to be sent everywhere. I direct the blood of the human faction, like it's heart."

'That's not something you should say in front of me. Knowing that it is the heart of the human faction is like asking me to destroy it. Though I won't.'

Orion didn't want the end of the human faction, he wanted revenge on the people that led to the oppression of the other factions, and the man who took everything from his parents.

"Turric, in the south, was built to stop the corrupted invasion that happens every year. The greatest Apostles who mastered the earth element built the Great Separating Wall to prevent leaks other than where the city is."

"This took one millenium to be built, but now that it is done and still standing strong, Eric's job is mostly an easy one."

'I wonder what causes the large amount of corrupted coming from the Frigoria Plains. Maybe it has to do with the light that fell from the pillar and ended in that place.'

He was really intrigued by the Frigoria Plains. It was one of his stops, which only fueled his interest toward the place no one dared to venture in.

"Olivia rules over Noctelagia today. Recently, it was her father that had the spot of Apostle. The city is an important place for relationship between us and the Kelpies, who are dwindling for a reason we do not know."

"It is our main source of seafood, and one of the most beautiful city we have."

'Now I want to see it. Maybe the girls will like it.'

After that, Florian talked about the cities of the other Apostles in great details.
