Will of chaos



The trip to Frontier City only seems to have 2 paths, the first using a special Teleportation spell and the other an incredibly dangerous journey to leave the planet's orbit, which would need to traverse several space storms and space warps. 

Teleportation magic was something Ortiz knew since his tribe was one of the founders of Frontier City, when we were far enough away from the Dragons' castle we started climbing higher and higher until we were far above the clouds. 

When I didn't know what he was doing I stayed silent and made the others stay too, Ortiz sat down and closed his eyes, but a 6-pointed star appears behind him. 

I could feel Ortiz's Space Element Aura and Mana emanating from his body, Arash said he has no talent for combat, but I can't say how far that is true, if I'm just talking about the amount of Mana, Ortiz surpasses me in that respect and that's not something everyone can do. 

Ortiz's Mana and Aura were absorbed by the image of the 6-pointed star behind him causing several crystal stars to appear forming lines in space by moving Fairy one in a unique way. 

Gradually the lines formed patterns that together looked like a 3D diagram of a magic circle, so these stars took place at the curve points and points where the lines converge, the big 6 pointed star, as well as Ortiz stood in the middle while this magic circle was being expanded to the size of the entire Floating Ship. 

It was at that moment that a strange distortion in space took place, but it was in front of Ortiz as he used a finger to draw in the air Runes that took position in the ritual circle as well as another pattern of lines that was placed in a magic crystal that was connected to the magic circle. 

"< Space Route: Start >" (Ortiz) 

When he spoke, the entire ritual circle seemed to come to life, the magic crystal that had just been placed in place shone like a rising Sun in the midday sky, and the ritual lines seemed to begin to conduct Spatial Element energy. 

"..." (I) 

I wave for the others to get ready and be silent, I didn't want to interrupt him and more than taken care of would like to understand what this magic actually does. 

The moment when the entire structure of lines and Runes of magic had Mana of the space element flowing through it, distortions started to happen around the ship creating a membrane like a bubble around the ship, then it was as if this bubble went into a current being dragged somewhere. 

I tried to look outside the Floating Ship, but all I saw were misshapen patches of various colors, in the end, I could only perceive myself to be inside a stream going somewhere and nothing else. 

This took only 2 hours of travel, during which time everyone was silent waiting until a tremor ran through the interior of the space bubble around the Floating Ship. 

"We're here." (Ortiz) 

Ortiz gets up and looks around as he walks to stand beside me, the space seems to be becoming more stable, the patches of color taking on more defined shapes. 

"Why was everyone silent, Lord Zenos?" (Ortiz) 

"You didn't explain anything to anyone when you just sat down and started creating that magic, so I made everyone stay silent so I wouldn't interrupt you." (I) 

"I'm sorry for my negligence, even though this magic requires a lot of concentration, I won't be interrupted by conversations around me, so you don't have to be so careful in the future." (Ortiz) 

"I'll take that into account..." (I) 

While talking to Ortiz the bubble became less malleable taking on a more oval shape while the misshapen images of our surroundings became sharp suddenly revealing something like an abstract painting of the universe, that alone was beautiful, but when the images became sharper and defined, the sight that only the astronauts of my world had seen in person now lay before me. 

A world so grand that I cannot fully see it even from where I am, endless stars in all directions awakens within me the desire to explore everything that exists, two Moons that I can majestically see in front of me and 3 Suns in the distance, its size incapable of being measured without even knowing the distance between us, which the only certainty is to be further than the circumference of the world measured in kilometers. 

It was something magical, a sight so beautiful that it made me wonder since when I dreamed of this landscape. 

I remember the first time I cried in the orphanage in my previous life, it was when I was first returned to the orphanage by the first family that adopted me, I tried to remain calm at the time in front of others, but that first night I ran away from the room and I stood at the attic window looking at the sky, I had somewhere thought that all our problems were insignificant compared to the grandiose universe and that was what I sought to comfort myself. 

When I was admitted to the hospital for the last time, I already knew I wouldn't get out of that bed alive, but the day went by that hospital room was smaller and smaller for me, when the fainting leading to coma started to become more frequent, I just didn't go in in despair because of the sky I saw through the window every night from my hospital bed. 

Even in this world, the night sky, even though it was different in many ways, still carried the same importance, at least for me, the feeling of vastness that even comparing the whole world could not be measured, the last bastion of anyone who seeks to explore the unknown it was still there showing me that my situation in that forest as the least of all Creatures was insignificant. 

Ibuki at some point appeared in front of me stealing my lips and I hugged her, I remember my happiness for having found my first companion and friend, I don't care that it was a Goblin and that in a way I forced it for fear of remaining alone, but my love for this woman who has been by my side since the beginning of my journey still warms my heart, the first night I took her to my hideout was important to me. 

Soon Erica hugged me from behind and Diana put her hand on my head, then came Kira commanding a hand on my shoulder. 

Every memory we share is as bright to me as these stars in the sky, I could feel the tears streaming down my face, in my two lives I didn't think for even a second that the day would come when I would see this landscape, that I would be surrounded by this starry sky that way. 

The memories of every thing that happened to me whether good or bad in those two lives flooded my mind, I got further than I ever dreamed or wanted. 

"(This is just the beginning...)" (I) 

I turn my eyes to something that shines differently than a star, what I saw was a silvery dot at first my vision being obstructed by the moonlight, but soon it revealed itself in my vision. 

A city of silver and gray as well as many colored crystals built on top of a large piece of rock filled with crystals, there were also smaller rocks floating around it, dozens of them with buildings built into them. 

The whole city was colossal, I could tell from the sheer number of buildings that look tiny from this distance. 

"That's Border Town." (Ortiz) 

I already imagined it to be that, I couldn't think of anything else, even from afar I could say, that city emanates a colossal Aura or should I say an amalgamation of countless Auras. 

I could also feel the flow of energy between one of the two Moons and the world, this flow of energy was wilder and more raw than anything I've ever felt while still on the planet, I felt like I was in the middle of a mountain river in the middle of a storm. 

But it only took a few seconds before I got used to it, this flow of energy doesn't have a physical force to make me shiver, it was just a surprise to me as it was my first time experiencing it. 

Our Floating Ship as well as the Border City were within this raw energy flow, I imagine that this feeds the energy city. 

But none of that matters to me, the only thing I wanted now was to visit that city for the simple fact that it was a space city, I felt as if the child inside me had woken up to play after a long time. 

I was euphoric and anxious and following Ortiz's advice we approached slowly, that's when I saw movement, something was coming towards us from the Border City. 

Ortiz told us that they are just inspectors to know our intentions and how we got to the city, I could understand the security protocols, every city in the world has them, even this being a space city it made sense the effort to keep it protected. 

We were waiting as per Ortiz's advice, all I wanted was to get it over with and head towards the city.
