On the edge of the floating island, a woman is perched on the edge of the island, her feet hanging freely in the open air.
Cael approached her and asked, "May I sit here?"
The woman immediately got up "Oh, Ye-Yes, You can"
Cael is surprised by her composure and asked "You are surprisingly calm"
Zidikle replied "I apologize for earlier, I was too angry with everything going around I didn't think straight and got too suspicious of you"
"No, you did the right thing, it's better to be suspicious about the unknown"
Zidikle thanked Cael and they sat in comfortable silence enjoying the view.
"Hey, can I ask you something?" Zidikle said directly looking into Cael's eyes.
"Go on"
"How's the outside world? I lived my whole life in Oziran. Is it dangerous as people say?"
"Dangerous? Yes, you could put it that way but it is also beautiful. The world has so much to offer, you'll be surprised just how everything came to be and its beauty."
"Mirror of the memories,
Eyes of the soul,
I shall show thou
The beauty beyond"
Cael's incantation changed the surroundings as an illusion of a beautiful world surrounded by stars and a moon in the sky with a lake beside them. The snowy night took Zidikle's breath away.
Time flew by as the moon is vanishing and the sun is rising, The snow melted and the green grass grew in the twilight.
"So pretty," She said as she stood up and looked around like a child looking at something new for the first time.
"This is a place on the last texture of the world, A place I encountered in one of my journeys"
"I-" Zidikle who is about to say something stopped midway.
"Great magician, we need your assistance!! Now!!"
Cael and Zidikle heard Vaeri's voice, with his clairvoyance on, he could already understand the situation.
'Voice projection throughout the entire island without annoying others, that's an amazing magecraft'
The illusion broke and Cael opened his wings, he held Zidikle's hands and said "I can teleport us there"
To which she nodded. Cael used his wings to teleport to the place Vaeri directly. The rest of the Faltho is present there too. The surrounding room looked like a control room with a lake in the middle.
In the lake appeared multiple floating islands, and one of them began falling.
"You are here! Great Magician, I know you just arrived here but please, we have an emergency. One of the islands of Oziran is rapidly falling, it is rapidly heading towards the land, please do something. I will explain the situation after this"
Cael who is actively using Clairvoyance to get a better grasp of the situation took command.
"Don't worry, I can handle this. Meanwhile, I will open a portal to the middle of that island. There are 2 people causing this phenomenon, capture them"
"Open the portal,
beyond compare.
Through veils of realms,
let pathways gleam"
A square portal appeared in front of them through which they could see two stout people on the other side, some of the members of Faltho entered the portal to capture them.
Meanwhile, Cael seeing the collapsing island did multiple calculations on stopping it.
'Even if I use my full power Gravity jail, it will just hold the island for a few days at best until my prana runs out. No, it's not the magecraft, I can probably stop it with logic magecraft too. Only the prana is the trouble here, Either I have to make it extremely potent but that's out of the option, I'm already at my peak, and the only option is Extreme quantity'
Cael sighed "Seriously, I didn't expect to use you so soon. Well, whatever, Show me your true power everyone praises you for, Holy grail"
Cael summoned the Holy Grail, The grail merged into his chest.
He wished for Infinite prana.
At that moment, he felt his 'path to the root' expand and felt an extreme boost in his prana reserves to the point he felt bloated.
Although it is not 'infinite', it appears to be infinite. It is just an extreme amount of Prana which can be filled up again instantly.
If His Od quantity can be measured, it will be '100,000,000,000,000'.
Cael however felt disappointed 'What did I expect? It just used my 'path' to give my Od to me and it's not even infinite. It perpetually fills my Od reserves by using my path. I already knew it, Holy Grails are just overrated cups'
After grumbling, Cael began using his logic magecraft.
A huge magic circle formed above the island and Cael began his chant.
"In this dire moment,
with island's fate at hand,
I weave a spell,
a logic-driven command
Through wisdom's embrace,
I halt the descent,
restore stability in this space.
With rationality's might
and enchantment's art,
I safeguard the island,
never to depart"
With the amplification of mystery from Unified language and his shit tonne of prana. Cael stabilized the island.
The island stopped its descent, became stable, and went back to its original position.
Even after using a spell of such grand scale, He felt nothing due to his new stupidly large Od reserves.
Vaeri returned with two people and asked the other members to interrogate them. Then, She approached Cael and thanked him
"I sincerely thank you, You saved us a lot of trouble, Great Magician. I will immediately prepare the rewards I promised"
"Can you please stop calling me that, Just Cael is enough"
"..If it is alright with you, Magician Cael"
"Let's just get to the topic. So, what is happening exactly?"
Vaeri explained the geography of Oziran.
There are 34 Floating islands, these Floating islands are collectively called Oziran.
A magician invented a mystic code that could control the floating islands. It can be used to change the shape, size, and movement, or even control the location of the islands. It is called 'Light of Alakazam'.
In one word, The mystic code gives absolute authority of Oziran to its holder.
The magician initially created it because the floating islands would Collide sometimes causing massive destruction of civilizations on the islands or sometimes the islands themselves are obliterated.
It is lost decades ago. Then, a new magician appeared and claimed that he has the 'Light of Alakazam'. He warned the islanders to submit themselves to him.
"Wait, the Goddess didn't interfere in this situation?"
"She didn't, more precisely, she won't. Goddess Nammu doesn't care who rules this place or how Oziran runs. As long as all lives are valued, Goddess Nammu doesn't interfere with our matters" Vaeri's answer is valid.
Gods are existences based on purpose. For a creation Goddess like Nammu, her mind constantly runs with the thought of the creation of new life forms and ways to make sure it happens. Without that purpose, she ceases to exist as a Goddess.
Cael asked for some more information "Who is ruling the Oziran anyway? Are they kings or royalty like humans used to have during the rule of gods?"
Vaeri's answer came as a surprise for him "No, we don't have a King or royalty like humans used to. We elves are originally from Mars, so we stick to our tradition of developing the islands and nature by working together. Since we are greater in number, we are present on every Island and spread our culture to others"
"Okay, what about the protection of the islands?"
"Each island has its own protection force, Faltho protects this island. We can get reinforcements from other islands for further protection. "
"For now, every group is working together to repel this new unknown foe and threat. This information is kept secret with magic. So, we can only say this information in this place, this is the observation room"
