I was sitting on a sofa on the deck of the ship looking up, there was a large island in the distance surrounded by scattered clouds, some of these clouds are strange colors.
"What is that?" (I)
"The climate on that island is a little bit special, just as the name suggests." (Arthur)
"Huh!? Arthur?" (I)
"Good to see you again Holy Son." (Arthur)
"Please stop calling me that, it was hard enough convincing Lilian to stop." (I)
"This is a difficult request, maybe you don't realize it, but just as your Aura is disgusting to the people of the Church of Light, to me and anyone who is a worshiper of the Blood Goddess, your Aura is Holy." (Arthur)
"Not only yours, but your sisters too, you are living symbols of our Faith, I'm sure some of the most fervent worshipers will find it difficult not to cry in your presence due to strong emotion." (Arthur)
"That looks troublesome..." (I)
I understand what he means, but I don't like it, I don't like getting those eyes full of admiration all the time, I don't like drawing attention without having done anything for it and I don't like people calling you names instead of saying my name.
Sigh
"Never mind, I don't want to lose my temper over these things." (I)
"You know Arthur, I've been looking for you these past few days, I wanted to thank you for your help in the last battle." (I)
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"No need to thank me, going against the Church of Light is always a great pleasure, besides my brother was in the battle." (Arthur)
"Yes, I heard that the Hero of Justice is your brother." (I)
"My family is big, being the son of a Saint already grants great talent to all of us, so everyone has some degree of social status whether good or bad." (Arthur)
"You must not know all of the family, right?" (I)
"No, but I know many, mainly people of great importance like Santas and Heroes, there must be no one in the family who doesn't know about him." (Arthur)
"So tell me, Vanessa told me that she had a lot of her family in Colosseum City, why didn't anyone help the Hero while he was there?" (I)
"I didn't get a chance to talk to them, but I can imagine why." (Arthur)
"If he was there then it was to train, probably the others were helping him from afar." (Arthur)
"Things like organizing correct quests in Dungeons, finding suitable opponents in the coliseum, and so on." (Arthur)
"That makes sense." (I)
I keep talking to Arthur as I look at the island closer and closer, our topic of conversation is random things of little importance since I'm too focused on the Island.
From afar it was just a sensation, but the closer we get to the floating island, the more I can feel it, which is only confusing me.
"Apparently you're not listening to me." (Arthur)
"Sorry, you said something." (I)
"I told you Freya and Silvia are here too, as well as Karina." (Arthur)
I look behind the couch I'm sitting on and see Karina, Silvia, and Freya standing there looking up just like I did moments ago.
But I soon notice that Silvia's gaze is different, she is calm looking up happily.
"You know what we're feeling, don't you?" (I)
"The 4 of us are the only ones who see this on this ship, this explosion of information." (Silvia)
"I've had worse, what worries me is what I'm feeling, it doesn't make sense." (I)
"My senses are stronger due to what it used to be and you being a Demigod, so we can perceive things more than they can." (Silvia)
"What you feel are the countless elements in disarray and yet in harmony." (Silvia)
"That island has the concentration of elemental energy of an entire world, it may not look like it, but the very space around the island is condensed, it makes the island smaller for those looking in from the outside." (Silvia)
"I'm sensing elements in the clouds, not just water, wind, and thunder." (I)
"I'm feeling ice, earth, fire, wood, and even metal." (I)
"You are sure." (Silvia)
"But that doesn't make sense." (I)
"No matter what you think, feel it and it will be clear." (Silvia)
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhile we were talking with Silvia, Arthur was gone before I knew it, so I pulled out another couch for the girls.
After that I look up, we were much closer to the island now, you could get an idea of the large size of this island that floats without any explanation.
I could feel the spatial element around the island, and I could see the spatial distortion clearly, but it seems others couldn't see it as clearly as I could.
Silvia was right, it's not the space inside that was enlarged, it was the entire island that was diminished by the forces of the spatial element.
The only question was how much this size is being changed, what is the true size of this island and how can we get to it, I can't think it's a good idea to approach the spatial distortion around the island.
Aside from the various elements I was feeling, I also realized something, I realized Authority.
It wasn't something I'd felt before in other people like us Gods, in that idiot Judge, the Hero, the Father of Nix, or my sister.
It was more like the Authority of nature itself that I feel every time I try to form Territory.
But this Authority is different, it works differently even though it's the same thing, I've never felt anything like this, moreover, I can feel something else inside, something that seems to merge with this Authority.
"I don't understand..." (I)
Soon the ship is on the same level as the island and I don't need to look from above anymore, so I got up and went to the edge of the ship to look at the island.
"Forests, mountains, and ice?" (I)
I was more and more confused with everything I was noticing about this island, now that I was on the same level I realized that the island's geography itself was strange, but even stranger was seeing the elemental energy flows flowing strangely through everything I could see from the island.
"As you can see, approaching the island normally isn't very safe, but I've already told Nicole and the others where to go." (Silvia)
"Thank you for that." (I)
