After dinner, Orion decided to tell them what he was planning to do.


    Orion, Amelia, and Karteira were all in the living room.


    "I''m planning on going back to the fairy realm."


    It was so sudden that both girls immediately stared at him.


    "Without us?"


    "Only the road to Dead White forest. Once I''m inside, you''ll join with me."


    They both nodded.


    "But why now? I thought you were focused on hunting that Apostle?"


    "I am, I just have a feeling that Florian will not come with an answer from the lamia queen that easily, so while we wait, why not go over there?"


    "There''s also the whole conversation we had before. I need Tiohr-nam to confirm things. Everything I''ve said about the curse are mostly guesses at this point, and having her confirm it would help."


    Having a question about that matter, she asked.


    "And what about the Miasma?"


    With a fierce look, he answered.


    "Of course, that''s also part of the reason I''m going there. She is the only Remnant I personally know, and only from her can I get some informations about it. Now that it tried to corrupt me, I cannot see it as other than an enemy."


    "I didn''t haven''t asked her about it since I thought that it was a done deal at the time, that the Hero Noah took care of it, but now that I am faced with the state of our world, I realize that it is well and dangerous."


    Amelia developed his thoughts.


    "You''re right, the fact that humans are getting corrupted, and that it was the case for the past two thousand years, is quite bothering. There''s also the growing numbers of corrupted beast."


    Placing a hand on her chin, she gave her opinion on the matter.


    "Orion, are we going to have the same situation the Hero had? Are we going to see the continent overrun by the corrupted?"


    The tension in the room suddenly grew.


    "Most likely. Like you said, the numbers of corrupted grew largely, that''s also what the Apostles said during their meeting. The fact that Apostles were corrupted for most of their existence is another problem."


    "How so?"


    Karteira who was unknowing of everything before leaving her realm, needed more to understand.


    "The corrupted Apostles began to influence the normal soldiers. With time, they began to push their values on them, changing the kind hearted faction as one full of deviant and monsters."


    "And that, because one man exists. Elliot was, and is at the middle of everything. But..."


    "But what? You usually go about the fact that Elliot is your enemy. Why did you stop this time?"


    Orion looked at Amelia with a funny smile.


    ''She''s right, I never bothered with that before.''


    "Well, I said it, Elliot is more than likely corrupted. Maybe if he wasn''t, the world wouldn''t be in this state. That''s all I was thinking about."


    Taking the words he spoke, Karteira asked something else.


    "So are you saying that without the corruption, everyone would be living without conflicts?"


    "Not necessarily. There''s always conflicts left and right. Remember, the hunting of the fairies had nothing to do with the corruption. But yes, we wouldn''t have a situation like this if it didn''t exist to begin with."


    Sound of teeth gritting was heard from Karteira.


    "Right, I almost forgot about that."


    She never knew the ones who lived two thousand years ago, but they were still members of her faction. The fact that they were killed just for the value their body parts had made her sick and irritated.


    "So, we''re going to the fairy realm. We''ll have to check what time it is outside. I''m pretty sure it''s still the middle of the night, so I''ll adjust time accordingly now that I am able to."


    Standing up from the couch, he walked toward a device placed on the table further inside the room.


    "Now that we are here, let''s see how it works, shall we?"


    He turned with a smile, and sat back where he was before.


    "Karteira, come here."


    He made space for Karteira to sit next to him, which she agreed, although a little embarrassed.


    The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.


    With Amelia on his right, and Karteira on his left, he began to tap on the tablet like device.


    The screen blinked a few times, before activating.


    "Where were we before? We looked at the things I was able to do with it before?"


    Amelia reminded him, since Orion wasn''t perfectly in shape to remember what he did.


    "You''ve given it your magic, and it gave a lot of command. I''m most interested in the one saying that you can authorize others to use the device."


    "Oh, right. Let''s see that then.


    Orion looked all over the screen to find the option he was looking for, but since he wasn''t used manipulating such high-tech item, he had trouble.


    After looking for a minute, he tried something else.


    "I''ll just ask, maybe it can hear my voice. How do I register others in using this device?"


    *Blinp*


    A little noise was emitted from the tablet, and a icon similar to the warning sign he saw earlier today appeared.


    He clicked on it, and a few words were written on the screen.


    "That''s all?"


    With surprise, Orion pressed a finger on the screen.


    <Master''s fingerprint already registered.>


    "Oh, I should''ve expected that."


    He laughed lightly.


    "Can we try?"


    Amelia asked, eager to be able to use the tablet too.


    "Of course, go for it."


    Orion gave the tablet to Amelia, who looked at the prompt asking to press her finger on the screen.


    When she did that, another prompt appeared on the screen.


    <Do you wish to register the user Amelia?>


    With a set mind, Orion spoke.


    "Yes."


    *Blinp*


    <User Amelia registered.>


    Amelia gave the tablet to Karteira, who look at it with a gaze that said ''What is this thing, and how do I use it?''


    She imitated Amelia and pressed her finger on the screen.


    <Do you wish to register the user Karteira?>


    Once again, Orion answered without hesitating.


    "Also yes."


    He trusted these two greatly. Nothing bad will happen even if they can modify the area.


    "So, now what?"


    With a questioning tone, Amelia asked Orion.


    "I don''t know. Let''s look at what it can do."


    Orion took back the tablet from Karteira, and asked the device.


    "What can we do with this device?"


    *Blinp*


    Another notification popped up.


    <This tablet can be used to modify the terrain around Horizon as the users see fit.>


    A tutorial like page opened, showing how to use the magic known as Horizon.


    <By bringing the required amount of materials, solid and liquid, anything can be recreated.>


    "Anything?"


    <Following with an exemple: If the users desire a lake to be created, a large quantity of water, mud, seeds, and trees is required.>


    <Only one square at a time can be selected, though shapes of various edges can be arranged.>


    "That''s useful. I don''t really want to see a square lake in my landscape."


    With the strong disapproval of weirdly shaped natural occurrences, Amelia was relieved.


    "Is that it for the explanations?"


    The device stopped sending notifications, so Orion began to touch the side of the screen, where he remembered seeing what was able to be created.


    ''There are forests, lakes, mountains, even underground spaces. We can create buildings too if we want, but they look pretty rudimentary. Definitely not like our house.''


    ''The most simple thing we seem to be able to do is create soil.''


    Decided to try the device, Orion stood up and looked at the girls.


    "Might as well test it right know. Do you want to?"


    They both stood up and followed him outside.


    Orion selected the square showing the right half of the house, and a simple dirt patch.


    <100kg of dirt required.>


    "Amelia, can you create a hundred kilogrammes of dirt?"


    Pointing on the side, he asked Amelia.


    "That''s a lot, but yes, I can."


    Her earth element appeared next to her, and began to create dirt from nothing. A massive pile of fresh dirt towered over the group.


    "It''s definitely a lot, but the number is growing."


    Karteira looked from Orion''s side at the screen.


    "Is that really enough? Don''t we need more?"


    She looked at him as he began to zoom on the screen.


    "Look, after creating the base ground, we can add paths and flower beds. We''ll look at that after."


    After Karteira understood that there was more to it than she thought, they both looked at Amelia, who was still full of energy.


    When the pile was finished, all the squares of Horizon blinked green on the screen.


    Orion clicked on the dirt path, and a portal like the one who siphoned his magic appeared and ate the pile of dirt.


    When it did that, the ground slowly changed, and dirt replaced the white ground.


    "Colors!"


    "It''s brown, you can''t call that ''colors''."


    Amelia almost cried when she saw that the device could really change the landscape, but Karteira immediately shot her down.


    "Can''t I rejoice for a second?"


    She frustratingly walked to Karteira.


    "We''re not done yet, Amelia. I need stones now, around twenty five kilogrammes."


    She turned around and forgot about the false anger she displayed at Karteira.


    Once the stone was formed, Orion zoomed in the newly made dirt square, and watched as many smaller squares appeared.


    ''So the small ones can be selected in a row. The ones cannot, but the smaller can. Weird design.''


    But it was because of quantity. The larger the area, the larger the required amount of materials. The smaller squares were representing 10x10 squares of the 100x100 bigger ones. There was no more zooming after that.


    ''Click there, there, all the way down, and...''


    *Press*


    Half of a rocky path formed near the entrance of the house, until the end where the dirt stopped.


    "We''ll have to do that for the other side too. Look good though."


    ''I''m not a really good designer, so I''m thinking of giving full control to those two. They can do much better than me on that front.''


    Of course, he was happy to have a new change of scenery, but that wasn''t his thing to begin with. He preferred to instruct how to create things more than doing it.


    "Here you can have the device. You can do what you want with the place. If you need any explanation about materials or how to do something, you just come to me."


    Orion walked to Amelia and gave her the tablet.


    "You''re not staying?"


    She looked slightly saddened.


    "I''m staying, don''t worry. I''ll simply look over what you create. To begin with, it is you who wanted a new change of scenery around here. Make it great."


    "We''ll look how to obtain trees and flowers once we exit. For now, you can continue until time synchronize with the outside."


    "You''ve already done that?"


    With Karteira''s exclamation, he smiled.


    "Of course. I don''t need the device for that. With a simple thought, it seems to change at will."


    "Oh. Magic is quite convenient."


    The usual sentence of non-magic users. And yes, magic is convenient... when the user know how to use it to begin with.


    "The time will calibrate during the night, so we have time. We''ll have breakfast like usual, and we''ll exit around noon. I''ll drop you to Kamala at that time, because I can''t let you in Lahro."


    They listened carefully.


    "After that, I''ll leave for Dead White forest, wait for the portal to open, and open a portal between the fairy realm and Kamala''s house. Then we go and see Tiohr-nam."


    ''And the sisters. I need to know if they are alright.''


    This was on his mind the whole time. He knew that the dragons wouldn''t mindlessly attack them, and that wasn''t where his worries were. There was something else, a sort of melancholy that followed them before they left toward Ormrdivin.


    His mind returned to the present, and he continued.


    "Once we have everything we need, we return to Horizon, and we wait for Florian''s news. We''ll act accordingly after that."


    "Oh, and just so you know, if the queen accepts my request, I''ll go alone."


    "What?!"


    And just like that, Orion dropped another sudden notice on them.
