Pov Light Temr High:


    Today the day started like many others, I get up before sunrise, and take care of my hygiene in the morning before going to train with thousands of other Temrs.


    After 4 hours of training where I was the teacher of the use of spears to 5 battalions, I went to wash up and eat something before putting on my armor to go to my post for the rest of the day.


    I am one of the 20 elite Guards who protect the High Priests by taking care of the construction of the "gate" that we heard the High Priests talk about.


    We were instructed not to mention anything about this project or those involved even among our peers, but even knowing what this "gate" really is, we don''t know anything.


    There are a total of 40 elite Guards with a strength equal to mine, we take turns dividing the day in half so that everyone can rest and always be in the best possible condition for our task.


    I had just entered the main hall of the Great Cathedral which was reconstructed after the great attack, I reported myself to the service before going straight to the ce, on the way I met another High Temr like me, unlike me who am a user of spear, he fights using a great sword that bottle but back.


    "Varchari, his face looks terrible, if he couldn''t sleep again he should look for one of the High Priests specialized in healing." (I)


    "I already went to one of themst week, I''mpletely fine with them." (Varcari)


    He''s not wearing his helmet so I can see the dark circles under his eyes which are also very red but other than that he looks fine, his skin has always been that white hue, he doesn''t look pale, his lips aren''t dry either and he doesn''t looks slimmer.


    Also, his Aura doesn''t look any different than normal, if he had to point something out it would be his slightly negative emotions.


    "Spying on a teammate''s Aura is against the rules, so what do you think you''re doing?" (Varcari)


    "I apologize, but you''ve been looking bad for weeks, I wanted to know if you were still up to the task." (I)


    "Our assignment has been a huge waste of time, we''ve been standing around watching Church schrs go about their business for weeks, I''d rather they sent me to the battlefield." (Varcari)


    "Don''t say that we were assigned to protect them because of the importance of what they do, but we shouldn''t talk about it anymore." (I)


    "We are in the middle of our Church of Light''s core territory, just to enter this Separate Space would be very difficult, anyone who enters will note out alive with all our main forces and defenses concentrated here, our presence here is being wasted." (Varcari)


    "My brother died yesterday in the attack against that ind in the sky, at least he had a chance to attack that contaminatednd." (Varcari)


    "I heard that the attack failed, but it looks like the new magic was effective." (I)


    "The test went very well, now we will be able to send our real troops there and I make sure they send me along." (Varcari)


    "I don''t understand why take care of that ce first, we should attack the ck Empire." (I)


    "I don''t know either, it seems our Target is the World Tree, if we get the power from there we will be able to annihte the ck Empire." (Varcari)<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Which would be next to impossible, the World Trees are sentient, they won''t cooperate with anyone but the Elves." (I)


    "You should spend some of your time reading in the library, in addition to strength someone in our position needs wisdom, we need to study to realize what we have to do" (Varchari)


    For someone whoins of constant nightmares for days, he seems to be fine, he was able to carry on a conversation without being swayed by his emotions, good emotional training I see.


    "(Maybe your nightmares are about the downtime we''re having with our current task.)" (I)


    "We''reing, let''s join the others and do preliminary patrols as usual." (I)


    "Yes, let''s just finish another day with this monotonous task." (Varcari)


    He puts on his helmet as we reach the za where the "gate" is being built, we pass through the various barriers thanks to the insignia we carry, then enter the za which has been renovated to contain therge 200 meter high gate.


    The "gate" was formed of 7rge sections in the form of legs thatplement each other forming a circle, it seems to be made of various types of metals with its color being mainly white with several golden magic circles drawn throughout its structure.


    On the floor below is arge multiyered magic circle with Spiritual Runes written on eachyer, furthermore, there are 10 pirs made of magic metals with various magic crystals iid by their structure arranged around it.


    Outside the magic circle are various types of rare materials and dozens of schrs, they are modifying various parts of the magic circle and other things.


    I don''t know what they''re doing exactly, and my knowledge of magic is very limited, I only studied enough about magic to be able to fight a Mage efficiently.


    Varcari and I started walking, but I noticed that Varcari was looking around more than usual, his gaze lingering for a few minutes on the "gate" floating in the center.


    I can''t see his face well because of the helmet, but his dissatisfaction with all this is well known, he also made it very clear that he didn''t want to be here.


    "(He has to learn that we will stay where we are ordered, that is our only duty, we must rely on our superiors and Lady Grace of the Great God Baldr.)" (I)


    -------------


    After changing shifts, we begin the patrol checking the materials against the pre-approved list, checking the schrs'' identities, and checking the surroundings again until something catches everyone''s attention.


    The magic circle on the ground lit up as the "Gate" began to rotate, I could feel the light element being drawn into the "Gate" as its interior filled with luminous white energy.


    The amount of energy being channeled through all this was veryrge making the space itself vibrate in the surroundings.


    "Why did it activate all of a sudden!?" (I)


    I look at the schrs who seem silent, but the other Elite Guards like me are just as confused as I am, it hurts to go check the "gate" while me and three others go towards the schrs, we need to know what''s going on.
