" There's plenty of that with the world reborn" He said with a smile. Floating over the edge of the castle, he pointed to what was the territory of wind. " In the shadow of the castle is fine land with mountains to guard the east and north-east, the sea to the south, and fertile land stretching into the west and north" Though they weren't needed, he stretched his wings and turned to Kronos. " Ofcourse, you may look at a map and decide. The tribals and beasts will be your greatest competition. Most tribes are easy to reason with but be aware that some have established territory and some land is sacred to them"



"Yes, I should be there but I...nevermind. Those blue flames should be restoring my power now" She rolled to her side so the scratches were up. "Sonne is what happened. She came to 'use me for her grand scheme'...whatever that means. When that failed, she left promising that you would be helpless to save me when she returned"

Ok too much work. We need land close to here where our people will stay. I know the valras might leave soon cause this land isn't suited well for them", he said looking around, "or maybe it is I'm not an expect on them but you get what I need. I need a place that shows that my people are strong and alive"



Then where are you", he replied to her, "maybe I could speed up the process and all. Your body isnt here like it should why did you leave the barrier its the only thing that protected you. I put it there on a whim of not you would be injured"

" Indeed..." The ghost nodded and floated in the opposite direction now. His curled at the tip to beckon them to follow. " Such symbolism varies from one race to the next. As you say, this location is not the best for the Valra. Strength and life to that race resides in areas full of fear and death for others"

Even though they were more than capable of dealing with it, Averin created bridges of energy across the gaps in the floor. If one looked down, they could see the mountains. "It has been far too long since I have dealt with your kind in such a scale. I shall do my best to find and ideal location. Land must be good since you mention gardens and from your son's complaints, a mild climate is needed. Perhaps the area I'm about to show you may be fitting"






She sat in silence for a few moments, bunching the bedding under her hand. Normally she would have stayed but... "I'm at the castle...resting now. I know I was safe there and left only...well...because..."

Returning to her back, she faced the image once more. The tightness that choked her at the cave returned with the dragonflies. She snatched and pillow and buried her face only to toss it off when it stung her wounds. "Oww...it's silly why I left. J-just...I wanted to see...you...a week felt like eternity for some reason ok!" She was grateful he wasn't there to see her flip between smiling and curling into a tight ball. It felt like sense had abandoned her. He returned and regret struck her like a blade.

Well don't worry about him. Give us something where the whether changes. Cold and hot. The reason he hates the cold is because it's hard to get rid of it. Or the fact that we left him there to train and he came back sick but I'm pretty sure it's the first one0, Kronos said following as Elena nodded after him


Well that's a strange reason even for you. Do you want me to stay here and watch over your flame or come back to the castle. By the way how's nasr", he asked sitting on the floor

" Cold is hard to get rid of...huh, first time I heard that" He stated while staring off in thought. How did the two get along with such a conflicting view? His mind was put back on track as he wondered what kind of training Shinigami faced in the cold.

Winters were foreign to this land which made things difficult but something else was foreign too. He stopped and turned to them. " The moon continent has the perfect location. The seasons and weather change regularly, resources are abundant, and my lady set aside a large portion of land ages ago for...something is what she said" He was left scratching his head as he thought of how young Kuroi was then. It seemed impossible that she could know they would be here now and require land. "I'm sure it's obvious but this castle never used to reside here. I can show you the place by returning the castle to its true location"




" No duh! I know it's strange, re..." Nothing worse than a thought for herself slipping through the link. Shaking her head, she forced herself up and took the fox form. "Just...forget I said anything. It's harder to heal away from the circle so...I'll go back. You can stay if you want"

She limped her way through the halls and dark corridors that led to the depths, avoiding everyone possible. "Nasr is ok for now. Madness torments him and a war rages in him. I suggested he talk to you but it's hard to tell if he will be himself or if the demon will have him strike at you"

The depths were never reached but a hole offered a way to the outside. She fell through and took her dragon form, gliding unsteadily to the mountains. Above a distinct crystalline roar resonated with the song of the castle's core. A cool light flooded over the mountains, revealing a safe entrance, before fading away.

Her wing hit the edge of the collapsed cave wall, sending her off balance as she descended. A stream of lava was missed by a razors edge and her human form restored when she passed through the barrier. After she was done rolling across the ground, she sighed. " Castle is gone"

True location. Good that way we can be far away from sonne", Elena said

Who. Wait another demon?", Kronos asked

No kuroi's sister and another woman who tried to get our son", she replied

Why didn't he use that love spell. Would have fixed everything. I use it sometimes", he said then paused

Sometimes huh. Well explain", Elena asked

So yeah averin how do you switch locations", Kronos asked trying to avoid the question

Yes averin how?", Elena asked


He went up to check on her, "castles is gone. What's that mean also Nasr is battling the demons. I thought Travis had them wait the boy was sick",

" About Sonne...the only time she goes after men is if she wants to use them. Her advances at Shinigami were just a game I'm afraid " Averin said with a nervous chuckle. " If she can't use them, they don't bow to her every whim, and few other reasons she casts them out like dirt. In this case he infuriated her and refused to kill Kuroi. He has been branded as disposable because of it. Even with a spell, I doubt she has room for anything beyond her ambitions"

Lifting his head up to look at the highest point of the castle, memories of the days he tended to Sonne flooded back. Deception was always her favorite study and when he tried to encourage her down a proper path... " She's had a hatred for men since she was young. I could never figure it out..."

The age difference between her and Kuroi began to cross his mind next but the truth of it shook him back to reality. " Forgive me. I shall show you how I move the castle" He opened his mouth and let out a crystalline roar. It resonated with the castle's core and took them away.

The moon continent held an appeal all it's own. Though still crystalline in nature, the plants held dark or cool tones and glistened with their own lights. Mana was oddly more abundant but still lacked what once existed. The air was comfortable since it was the end of summer and plants begun to show their bounty.

Averin pointed to a segment of land that looked to be the jewel of the world. Pure waters gleamed within forests of large trees and fell from fine crystal cliffs. An area of plains was rich with grasses and flowers. Many huntable beasts grazed peacefully as they roamed. In the distance a lone snow topped mountain stood. Whatever materials it held waited to be found. So much more to be discovered by foot rested in this place.




Kuroi smiled when she saw him. " Averin moved it. The castle no longer floats over these mountains" She said sitting up. The claw marks from Nasr were visible now, barely missing her eye and crossing from her neck to the opposing shoulder.

" He's fighting only Madness. None of the three were there...if Travis has them then he still does" A few drops of blood fell to her hand. Reaching up she realized the wounds were reopened from the fall. " The boy is sick? That must be why he left in such haste"

What about the surrounding people", Kronos

And the women too", Elena said

O didn't cheat on you. I only used it to get some answers", he sad

The spell is so powerful that it makes people forget their life for the castle unless they know they've been enchanted they can't escape. Wait there aren't much women there who did you use it on", she asked, "the closest are demini mans like Mermaids or fox humans and the like ad yet can't talk", she said

They elvolved ok. They did. I didn't tell anyone else about the spell",Kronos said



Why would he do that and why is he sick wait I have madness with me also those marks aren't dragon claw marks. They look like Nasr. Did he hurt you", he asked

" This has become a touchy subject I see" He looked at both of them for some time while deciding which subject to tackle first. Yet a smirk hid behind his hand at the amusing familiarity of the argument.

" Hmm...a snare of a spell...the rivalry of the sisters would be all it takes to break it should he use it on her" His hand was lowered once the smirk was stifled. " It seems another war is about to break out. Shall I wait till this issue is resolved before discussing the land and it's residents more?"




" Are you sure...Madness is with you?" She raised her hands infront of her face to show what she saw. " I saw it standing over him" Her hands were placed in her lap and she looked at him. Blood had turned her one iris a deep purple. " Yes...Nasr did this. It's alright. It woke him up...he'll be fearing retribution from my father for a long time" She chuckled and wiped some blood away from her eye.

" As for why the boy is ill...you'll have to ask him. I always found it odd that humans vanished with every era though." A ribbon of mana flowed from a brazier and into Kuroi. She took a breath as a little more energy filled her. " I shall tell you the same thing. Talk to Nasr. If you want to understand why he did what he had...it's the best thing. Jealousy, pride, pain...these are a few things but you men always have pride don't you?"

Sometimes we don't care about pride. We just want to make sure what or those we love are same. Or else it means we failed", he said lifting her up, "let's go talk to them then. Nasr and the boy. Wait I have chaos not madness. Meaning that it escaped from you. Wait I'm confused. Whatever you're not leaving my sight", he said as the dragon guardian appeared up ahead and his wings evolved out.


Don't worry continue. We will finish it ourselves", Kronos said

Yup. And he would hate it. What about the valras we can't leave them there",she said

" Is that so" She leaned against him, keeping the wounds away, and smiled as she watched his wings appear. Before she could relax too much, a single problem came to mind. " Before I clear your confusion...and we speak to them, will you be able to find the castle? Averin was unconcerned when he moved it...so it shall be in the Moon Continent"



" Now, now" Averin stated as he motioned to calm with his hands. " The Valra will remain in the castle until they find a home of their own. Wherever there is death, danger, or easy scavenging they will roost. Now, you asked about the residents" He turned to face the land and looked out at the horizon.

" Most of the residents here follow Lumerin closely. Beyond their racial habits and quirks they are fairly harmless and may be eager to learn. Tribes are many here, towns are few, and cities do not exist save one which is near the Dark Key" A pause was taken as he considered what all that was important.

" None have set foot in this territory since my lady set it aside. You may keep it that way or we shall let them know the land can be traversed once you have built. I'm sure many would love to trade and socialize"

Dont worry about that we will take care of it. Then we should go back for now. You know our clan is still there. They're kinda the point of all this you know", Kronos said



Yay another continent it's not like I will die from frustration from the travel. My parents won't leave me here so they will be back", he said as his wi ha elvolved and took the form of to spiral of wings. The top white the bottom black and the surrounded themselves with energy. He took up to the sky faster than before , "Rhys about that flame", he asked as the dragon followed them

" Quite true. Take the time you need. Neither my lady or I will chase you out before you're ready" An icy chill ran through Averin when he turned to face the castle. With it a foreboding remindinder of all he had seen.

" I should warn you...Solarium's reach is far. This land is untainted but she will use whatever means and vessel to obtain her way. Use the peace wisely to trap her and Sonne in their own snares" Having said what was needed, he raised his head and called to the castle again.



Her hair whipped against him from the rush of the wind. When it calmed she opened her eyes to find his wings matched the dragon's in the dream mural. So much was scratched out but it felt like she could restore it with only two feathers.

She cast her gaze below and peered into the dark entrance. " The flame will die when I have recovered. If truly concerned...I can recreate the circle...and move it to the castle" Looking back up, Kuroi chuckled. " You tire of traveling? I understand...a trip to a certain...crystal lake should cheer you up. You never did get your vacation there"

Crystal lake. Ph you mean the place filled with female dragons. Well sonne ruined it fir me. And if o go there she will attack me in the dream so I will have to stick with you then", he said flying to where the castle was, "now let's get this out of the way. Who's madness?"


Ok we understand. Oh don't forget us you know I just went through s long journey", Kronos am said

And he can't wait to get home. Me either", Elena said

" And you seemed to enjoy that place so much..." A tiny smile showed as she remembered when he first appeared at the lake. Once concerned that she would kill him and now...

The memory was was washed aside by the image of the demon. Its head of hands like a gateway to the most twisted parts of one's soul. " Madness is a lesser demon. Perhaps it should be deemed the king of demons for its role. Never speaks yet can twist your fears, desires, and more into terrifying and messed up forms. Terror and comfort can keep one trapped since the labyrinth is the darkest depths of one's soul "



The form of the ghost became more solid in the castle's light. " Forget? Never" Cool light swallowed them up again to return them to the mountains. Storms had thinned around the castle from the teleporting, making it easy to see.

Now then let's go talk", Elena said grabbing Kronos and disappeared with him



Ha theyre back. Let's go", he said flying over to them, "tell me. How many more of this demons are there"

She chuckled and looked towards the castle. One hand was raised before the scratched eye to keep the wind from irritating it. " There are many demons and all fall into three or four classifications. I just call them Nuisance, Desired, Lesser, and Grand"

Forge about that let's just fix you up", he said using the stone to clear up the wound. He got to the castle soon the flew to get room

Forge about that let's just fix you up", he said using the stone to clear up the wound. He got to the castle soon the flew to her room

" Thank you" She said with a soft giggle. How strange it felt to live without mana. The mantle of godhood stripped away leaving her as nothing more than a shifting human. For the first time she had to rely on another.

When they got to her room the full reality of her situation struck. Powerless human and if his mother still sought to experiment on her then all she could do is run. Hopeless against one who could teleport. Her heart began to race until she noticed something.

Why bring her here when he talked about speaking to Nasr and the boy? Another look and it felt like nothing. Sunlight touched her room now and it brought out details in the work he had put into it. " Wow...talk about seeing something in a new light...You really did all this?"
