The senior mage and the queen descended the steps together, and as they did so, the queen peered about, realising that nothing had changed from her previous visits to the royal palace's rooms. The queen looked around to see many empty cells with nothing but rodents and hay lying around the floor before heading down to see many rooms. She immediately noticed a strange smell with the queen and didn't expect it to be so unusual for a mage's chambers. Looking towards the door in front of them, she was surprised to see that the palace had never had a royal conspiracy within the court because she knew the kingdom had a low crime rate. The room was bright with luminous rays shining out of the door, and the queen was hiding from the radiant light. The elder mages laughed as the queen made a comment about the brightness of the room.

"You didn't inform me that's the room we're going to!" The Queen remarked.

The elder mage simply nodded in response. Unaware that the queen would be able to withstand the intense light from the room they were heading towards, he turned to face her and told her what to expect. The queen opened her eyes, startled by what she had just witnessed. A massive sphere was hovering above her in the centre of the room, surrounded by cloaked and robed elves who appeared to be chanting with it. Pausing to enjoy the male side of the ball, see the glares directed towards the older mages, and wonder how they manage to have it under the chambers.

"Elder, I must ask what this orb does for the kingdom?"

..

"That? Your majesty, what you're looking at is currently a magic orb; that stays there as a way so we can have more extraordinary magic flown around the kingdom; my people are currently enchanting it, so we can use magic to the fullest when the chance of a siege would appear."

When the elder mage tells the queen what to do with the orb, she sees the explanation and follows him right away. As they walk down a long hallway, the queen notices that it is cleaner than the last room she was in; the floor is clean and smells like flowers. She also notices that the wall paintings depict a map that her ancestor and earlier rulers made, which somewhat illustrates the history of the place.

According to her childhood memories, the land they called home, Gaia, is a mysterious continent that is farther away from another mainland from the great sea. However, the land has a dark past because many of the newly formed nations that were once seekers soon took up arms and vowed to fight in what they refer to as the "17-year war." Several species were wiped off in the conflict during those gloomy times. She knew that her kingdom was the one that suffered the most from the high death rate during that "17-year war," with many of her people being killed by the poison wyverns that were frequently used throughout the conflict. By the time the war ended, the population of the content they loved had never returned to its original number. Following the "war" and negotiations for the seven countries to gather on a small piece of land, The seven big countries came to some sort of compromise, with many of them supporting an alliance that prevents them from going to war. During the recuperation phase, those countries felt betrayed and harboured grudges.

Many armies did not plan a military exercise after the 17-year war because they believed it to be a sign of impending conflict. However, with many nations considering the 17-year war, the kingdoms of Elijah and Leilo came to an agreement that a military exercise between their forces would be planned. This was due to the current predicament faced by the empire from the north. Nevertheless, the kingdom of Lelio was overthrown in five months despite the army's preparation; Their ally may behave for a much longer period of time, based on the knowledge she was headed previously. However, based on the knowledge of this country's artillery, the siege did not continue long, as the empire employed cutting-edge military strategies provided by the aforementioned allies. The queen is aware of the circumstances, their limited resources, and the fact that their boundaries are small; she also knows that many of their friends and limited forces were vanquished by a single, great empire in just two months.

After they had arrived at the room the mage wished to enter, Galadriel instantly stopped thinking about the ongoing conflict and turned to face the mage. She saw a large stone woman kneeling and raising her hand in the air; the mage turned back to face Galadriel and turned to face the queen, who was equally astounded by the sight of such notable stone women. With a quick smile for the company, she headed to the centre, opened her sack, and set two big crystal stones down. As soon as Galadriel saw the older wizard, she approached her and asked what she was doing.

"Elder, I must ask, what are you doing with two crystal stones?."

When the wizard heard this, she kept arranging the stones without saying anything. Before long, the mage had placed the stones in a magical circle and retreated to watch her be made. She gave it a nice glance before turning back to face the queen, who had earlier answered her query.

"That… you are looking at your majesty is a Portal spell, and these stones you're looking at are not regular crystals, but these what are you are looking are a stone that is capable of something far greater than even the mages from the north could have, and what these have the ability to what we call. Gateway magic."

..

"Gateway magic?"

…

The wizard simply grinned at the reply, turning back to the stones right away to see what she could conjure up. She closed her eyes, murmured into her mouth, and looked at her wooden staff, pointing to the ground. The murmuring stopped, and the mage turned to face Galadriel again to ask her another question. Galadriel watched in shock as the circle lit in front of her.

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

...

"Gateway magic is a high ranking enchantment, which allows the mage to open a gate from another dimension without any dilemmas, but the stones aren't for opening gates for the other side; the stone can also allow us that to watch and scout other nations from the other dimension, with these stones."

After a short while, the mage turned to face the dark sky and stars. Seeing that the stones were moving in the direction of what the mages desired, the mage closed her eyes and began to chant once more. Galadriel saw the staff moving towards the void and noticed that blue mist was swirling around it. The queen, who had been able to see the mage mumbling her chant, quickly stopped the chant and told Galadriel what she intended to do.

"For 70 years, during my days as a young mage during the 17-year war, my family and my people were killed by those barbaric humans who intend to kill anyone who isn't pure, our country, ever since the 17-year war, became an economic powerhouse within the southern continent despite our small borders. I watched as our people lived in harmony and peace with a feeling that a war wouldn't come till now; ever since the limitation of military exercises and lacking workforce, our nation, and our once allies have all been defeated within five months because of the military limitations, mages who join the war summarized that neither the kingdom of Blain and the kingdom of Kashmir had a capable army, as many of there forces were killed in action because of the lack of military exercise and lacking proper weapons, made many there forces use old tactics against the nation who we thought wouldn't survive the greater desert, had finally come here and now."

"Our nation isn't capable of fighting against the nation which had won countless victories within minutes having no problem, and hearing that they would come and take our kingdom within four months, it means that they're gonna bring something for our greater walls, the chances are that they will bring out those damn red dragons, I been hearing a lot from the reports of the military front lines and having them give us five months to prepare means that there bringing more to defeat us."

Galadriel felt comparatively weak after hearing this. She quickly started crying from the reaction and explained why she wasn't suitable for the role, realising that she couldn't wage such a conflict.

"It's all gone, elder! I am not capable of fighting this war! All I did was cry and weep and wouldn't do anything because I was not fit for this situation. Our military has been weak! There's no point if we don't have allies and we don't have the workforce to take them down. How are we supposed to defeat them?"

The magician quickly grinned at the response to hearing Galadriel's pleas and turned to face the statue.

"There is another."

As soon as the teen covers the queen, drawing us away from the bright light, the dark abyss instantly lights her face. The noises of the breeze surrounding soon became colder, and the mage remained silent the entire way. After a little while, the bright light disappeared, and she opened her eyes to discover that she was in a forest with only the sound of birds chirping and the sun's rays on her skin.

"In what location are we?"

Galadriel begged and waited for a response, but before long, she realised that the elder mage had disappeared. Panicked, she looked around frantically, but she was unable to find the elder mage. Feeling defeated, she quickly dropped to her knees as the queen realised that her time was running out. Trying to cry, Galadriel felt someone tapping her shoulder, and when she turned to see who it was, it was the mage herself, who smiled back at her. The queen then looked worriedly at the mage.

"What made you disappear?!"

The mage laughed at this and backed away from the queen, seeing that he had only one explanation left for her.

"Sorry, your majesty, I arrived a bit late."

Upon hearing this, the queen accepted the mage's words and stood up again, waiting for the mage to take action. Upon noticing the bright light emanating from the sun on the opposite side of the forest, the mage quickly trailed behind Galadriel as they strolled through the forest. Inside, there were rattling noises and the sounds of the brush thrashing, and Galadriel's white shirt quickly became soiled as the queen followed on behind. Leading the way, the magician emerged first, looked ahead, and called out to the queen, asking her to come see what she had found.

"Your majesty, please come and see this!"

The queen heard her voice getting louder but remained silent, exhausted from the long journey. As soon as she emerged from the forest to see what she had asked, the mage's brilliant glances rapidly covered her eyes.

At her response, the older mage began to move more slowly. tracing her path with her hand in the distant. She gazed at the city as if for the first time, watching in awe. Her mouth drops as her eyes expand and she takes in the view of a town far ahead of her, with structures as towering as the sky. The queen was astounded by what she saw right away. She was astonished to realise that there are cities without substantial fortifications when she saw the red bridge in the distance. This bridge is more significant than any other bridge she will ever traverse. The queen was in good company and kept quiet about the sights she saw. When the mage finally got a chance to meet her up close and personal, he grinned and informed her of what she was seeing.

"Your majesty, what you are looking at is a superpower whose nation never once was defeated in wars and nation who made many nations under their country become superpowers like them; there are nations who see freedom at first sight and the power that is held from them there will bring it just for the sake of aiding the nation."

Finding out what the magician had to say was astounding; could she really be a nation that hadn't been vanquished?Who among us will lay down their life for a weak country like ours?That is ridiculous! Upon hearing the mage's comments, which carried a strong element of truth, she turned to face the city's skyscrapers and posed a single inquiry.

"These are such strong words you have said, to me elder, I must ask. What is the name of this country?"

Galadriel gazed at the nation the wizard had informed her in detail while she looked back at the mage, waiting for an answer. Seeing that the mage was waiting, Galadriel also looked at the city. She inhaled deeply and turned to face the city.

"The nation you are viewing is named based on the terms these people use to describe it.

"The United States of America."
