Chapter 356
The Rosario Valley, a valley situated at the border of Mourntale, Glasisius, and Hazenborne estates, was land of vast expanse surrounded by hills on all sides. It was the place where five Ancient Trials had been previously held, and it was the venue of the upcoming Ancient Trials that Rebecca and Amelia had decided to organise.
They chose this place as it did not belong to any one party, and the enemy would never be against the idea of coming here for the Trials.
Keith was standing on the soft grass as he looked around the beautiful place, his mind running with some ideas, and behind him, the girls stood as they appreciated the beauty of the place.
The Hazenborne scouts in the vicinity, along with the Mourntale and Glasisius had been turned away by Keith, so, they were not going to get disturbed as he made some changes there.
"What are you thinking?" Rebecca curiously asked as she found him assessing the terrain.
"Well, I am thinking about making this place a venue fit for the event that is going to take place here." He smiled, rousing everyone's curiosity. "Excuse me." He said to them before he used his telekinetic power and lifted them all in the air, several metres above the ground.
They all watched intently as he crouched down and then placed his palms on the ground.
For the next few seconds, nothing noticeable happened, but then both Kiara and Minami narrowed their eyes, and soon the birds up the hills in the valley started crying as they flew up to the sky.
Rebecca soon sensed the changes as well, and then to their astonishment, the ground started shaking as thick roots, which were as thick as some big tree trunks, sprouted before they changed shapes and transformed into pillars, eventually forming up the stands of a stadium.
In a matter of fifteen minutes, the girls found themselves present inside a large wooden colosseum that seemed to have come to life straight out of some fantasy. It was colossal and majestic, even bigger than the Colosseum of Rome, and at the same time, it was beautiful, covered in vines and flowers, with a beautiful floral scent and greenery surrounding it.
And then they witnessed another sight that shocked them.
The grass in the arena suddenly vaporised as white sand started flowing out of the ground, flooding the arena.
Amira, Reina, and Alana were the most shaken after witnessing Keith create things out of nothing, and when they touched the ground again, now covered by thick white sand, tightly packed in the arena, they subconsciously crouched down and touched it to make sure that they were not inside some dream.

She had laughed at the notion whenever Rebecca had told her about it, not taking her words seriously, but now she knew that the blonde was not kidding.
"It's simple, but it will do." Keith shrugged after he looked around, nodding to himself in satisfaction, and Rebecca pouted at his words.
"It's not simple." She folded her arms on her chest. "You just created the most outrageous wonder of the world."
"That's true." He nodded, and then grinned at her, making her roll her eyes.
"You don't seem tired." Amelia pointed out as she keenly observed his state, and Keith chuckled at her words.
"I am fine. I can create another one and I will still be fine." He told her, smiling as they all looked at him unbelievably.
Well, he had not lied to them. No average Auror was supposed to possess as dense and pure Mana and Aura reserves as he possessed, and thanks to his Bloodline, controlling the elements just came naturally to him.
Only Minami and Kiara were not too surprised at his words as they knew they could perform similar feats as well, but they still lacked in Mana and Aura reserves compared to him, so they would definitely feel very weak if they pulled something like this.
"Do you like it?" He turned to look at the youngest ones, and both Amira and Reina dumbly nodded their heads before excited smiles broke out on their faces.
"It's beautiful!"
"I know." He proudly smiled.
Rebecca rolled her eyes again at his narcissistic behaviour, but could not really argue about it. After all, the place was indeed very beautiful.
"Let's go and design the enclosures." He said, and Amelia was the first to follow him as soon as she heard that they would be taking part in designing the place.
She was quite curious about his Powers, but more than that, she was already thinking about ways to make this place stand out even more.
For the rest of the day, Keith listened to all their suggestions and requests as they designed the place.
"Brother, can we name this place Florena?" Reina expectantly said after they stood in the centre of the arena, having finished designing this Colosseum.
"That's a girl's name." Amira giggled at her sister's suggestion, and everyone around them smiled as Reina pouted at her words but still expectantly looked at Keith, hoping that he would agree to her suggestion.
"Hortus Mortis." Iseul suddenly said, making the girls look at her. "It's Latin for The Garden of Death." She informed the ones who did not know the language.
"That sounds grim." Alana frowned, and the twins nodded to her words.
The rest of them smiled in their hearts as they knew that despite its beauty, this was a place that would see a lot of Death and this white sand would eventually turn red.
However, they could not deny the appeal of naming this place with something ironic.
"Let's go with The Garden of Florena. Hortus Florenae." Kiara smiled and suggested, and Reina's eyes sparkled at her words.
"Please!" She hopefully looked at him.
"Fine." Keith smiled and agreed, and happily hugged the girl back when she jumped into his arms.
"You are the best!" She planted a quick peck on his lips and told him.
"I know." And he nodded to her words seriously, making her and the girls giggle.
Keith then used his Elemental Magic to create wood and carve the name of the Colosseum out of it before setting it on top of the main enclosure.
"Thank you!" Reina kissed him again, and he nudged his nose with hers playfully before he looked at the sky and then at the girls.
"I am hungry." He told them, and his words kicked in their hunger as well, making them realise that they had not eaten anything for the entire day since taking their breakfast early in the morning.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Let's head home." Amelia nodded to him.
Keith knew what Amira wanted to say as soon as he glanced at her, and then he smiled at his emerald-eyed wife.
"Let's camp here." He told her, and then created a few benches, wooden blocks, and three firepits, and then brought out the glamping equipment he had been keeping in his storage ring.
"What are we going to eat?" Alana curiously asked.
"We will hunt something good!" Kiara excitedly said.
"There is a stream in the west, a couple of miles away," Amelia informed them, and Keith nodded to her.
"I will go catch some fish. You will hunt something delicious. And the rest of you will set things up and stay there."
He did not specify who had to stay and who had to go hunting. He left them to decide for themselves and rushed out of the place in a blur.
"We will go!" Kiara volunteered and after nodding to Rebecca, she disappeared with Minami in the same way Keith did.
The rest of the girls then started setting up the tents, and then they set up the firepit and lit the fire using the blocks of wood Keith had created and left there for the very use.
Even though they all had to bear a few more hours of hunger, which became very excruciating due to the appetising smell that emanated from the fish and the stag when they were finally put on the fire, the girls managed to pass the time chatting with each other and playing different games to distract themselves.
Only Keith, Minami, and Amelia stayed by the firepits as they were responsible for preparing the meal. Well, Amelia was just keeping them company as the two handled everything, but she was enjoying herself as well as she chatted with him about various things and then asked him to explain to her the phenomenon behind Elemental Magic.
She was not one to explicitly voice her desires, but Keith knew that she too wanted to learn more about Magic and be proficient at it. The allure of Elemental Magic was too much even for someone as blessed as her.
"You will be able to perform it as well. It will take time, but it will happen." He gently told her, and her lips curved into a beautiful smile.
"But I would never be as good as you at it, right?"
"I highly doubt it, but you can try." He smiled back at her, and then they both laughed lightly, promoted by the sweet giggle that escaped Minami's lips.
Days like this were the days they truly appreciated having so many friends within the family. It truly was a blessing that they were forever going to be grateful for.
