Chapter 52 - Order 52: The Horizon follows closer

Achlys and it's group are walking across unknown lands in the middle of the night

Mesopotamians and Nzambici are shining in the sky with the light of the Stars they called Ra and Surya

Cryo in his Phoenix form sleeping on Achlys head

Lecia asleep on the back of Lisare holding her on her upper legs

Lisare barely awake keeps marching forward with her legs giving up any moment

"Let's stay for tonight here, you need some rest I have noticed" Achlys has turned around to look at Lisare

Lisare nods and falls face down on the ground "dop... Sisi dop... Dop" she mumbled out last second before fainting asleep

Achlys smiles slightly and sits down next to her and lecia that he picked up and placed on the floor

"I guess I'll stay awake..."He sits on the ground and reaches out his hands away from His body

Eyes closed and breath is calmed down to a softer and more focused rythme

"Mist a blanket... I call upon your safeguard" he speaks out as a slight purple light escapes his hand

Heavy mana shoots out and fails

"You are doing it wrong Achlys... You should start do something smaller"

Bellona suggested catching Achlys a little of guard at her sudden voice

"I guess..." He moves both his hands and arms above his head and rythmes his breathing

"Calm down... And focus body" Achlys talks to himself and closes his eyes once again

A small line of purple light enters his hand

He forms a small mist sword but it misforms and fails to finish

It exploded, hurting Achlys's hand and he retracts fast in a reflection

"It doesn't hurt... It looked painfull and my body reacted on its own..." Achlys looks at his hand and closes it

"That red female explained it once didn't she? What was her name again..? Daria? Maria?" Bellona asked with a serious tone but a slight tone of interest

"Saria... And she explained alot of things, so what do you mean?" He interject in a way to silence Bellona for a moment to respect his master

"About mana bubble... That 'personal space' mana zone keeping you safe somehow" she ignored his interjection and went straight for the idea what she is trying to explain

"She did... Its weak and can only see a small amount of attacks to let you-"

"Shut up, I am not stupid you half brained living human" she silenced him and took him in the mindscape

"So what i am trying to say is, you can train your mana bubble to an extent... But it seems its forgotten in the past"

"A forgotten art? That can't be! It must be somewhere in history" he shouted

Bellona punches him and sighs "too loud!"

"Ow that hurts!"

"Like it should!"

She stood up and turned around

"Grab a sword and throw it at me... I'll show you, it's boring to explain"

She snarled it out and huffed annoyed, Achlys sits up and looks around him to see a sword laying next to him

It's broken and the hilt is what is barely holding up

"Hm?... " It peeked his interests for a bit but looked further for a other sword

"Oke, here I go!"

He threw the sword and it hurled at her

She didn't even look at the sword but as it came closer mana around her starts to form into material and it blocked the sword like a shield around her

"I make mana around me so heavy with my mana bubble, that when something enters my space or sphere, that It could form heavy mana and materialize into solid mana"

Achlys eyes glitter in amazed with little stars in his eyes

"That's so cool!!!"

"But you should focus on using your magic more... So when you have enough mana you can learn this" she stated and smiled softly

But behind her smile is an annoyed version

"I am so done with this brat... Can't he just not be here! Darn you loinheart!"

"But I do I got a choice, hell no! I am just here to make this annoying brat grow like all the others"

She keeps a smile on her face and helps Achlys a little by little

"I'll try to force most magic out of my body in a small trial so I can force more mana to grow" he thought and nods to himself

He opens his eyes and looks up

The moons have changed positions in the sky and the horizon is glowing making the entrance for the Stars to shine

"The night is ending... I should sleep" be lays on the ground and closes his eyes

-------------------

In the city of Libertatis

Persephone walks across the street

Back to a gap in the city

Like the houses, street and everything else isn't connected

Like if you fold a piece of paper in 4 Collums and put the 2 on the sides together, so the other 2 behind vanish from view

The world has folded on the place where Mariolla was

"how can I get 'er outta dis mess?" She places her hand on her chin and rubs

She gazes around the city noticing alot of people not realizing this gap of space

"Am I de only one seein' dis, of should I just keep it quiet fi Myself?"

She sits on the ground and looks down sighing

"What I only can de is waitin' for de timemaster"

-------------

In a world full of darkness

Lie timelines with universes attached to them

"Where am I?" A voice echoes through the darkness

"Mariolla... You are not supposed to be here." A voice echoes back that sounds next to her but also thousands of miles away

"I- I don't know how I came in this... Place" Mariolla answeres in a echo to get a echo back seconds later

"Timelines distorted takes you away from your own world..." The echo answered without an question being asked

"You were involved... You could say, normally you would go to another universe... Like The order did... But you-" the echoes stops in a abrupt silence

Mariolla falls down in a instance and sits in a chair next to a table with a cup of coffee

She sees sugar and places it in her coffee

"How much sugar can I get?" She asks nicely still putting it in her coffee

"You should be arriving back to your universe... Drink the coffee to arrive back to it..."

She is about to drink but stops and places it on the table

"I got a question for you"

--------------------------

The suns stare from the heavens down on the plains itself

Achlys asleep on the arms of Cryo with lecia trying to hold him also but getting her arms frozen every time she gets close

Lisare slowly following behind

What they 3 don't realize is a small mist line streaming up in the sky

"He is so cuteeee!!! Can I hold him!!" Cryo kicks her away and freezes her legs

"You would do things to him that even the gods would question" he spoke out loud and Lisare puts a hand on her mouth

"I wouldn't do such a thing" she said smirking and standing proud

"You are bad at lying... Your body betrayed you" she looks at her fingers and feels her lips on a kissing motion

"Well... You wouldn't know anything about love!"

She shouts and pouts

"Horny angel!" "Failed bird" "gods failure!" "Blue icecream!" They kept shouting to each other insulting to each other

But slowly a smile forms on both faces

They enjoy it...

----------

After some time Achlys finally woke up also

"Hmmm..." A soft and slow grunt leaves his mouth as his eyes open

His gaze locks on Achlys that looks at him confused but happy

"What happened... Why am I being carried"

His questions echo around the group

They stare at each other for a moment

"Well we are under attack" Cryo jokingly said

Achlys who just woke up didn't notice it and jumped out reaching out for his sword

But it isn't there

"That's right..."

He puts his hands together and then interlocks his fingers

"Disorganized mist!" He shouts as he explodes into mist and runs to Achlys and Lecia

"Where is the enemy?! I don't see them"

"It's because.... We... We were joking" Cryo replied tense and not what to expect

Lecia burst into laughter while Lisare is thinking deeply not on this world

"Really!! I wanted some action!!!" He shouted and grumped as he walked past Lecia and Cryo who keep laughing

"Will you both shut up!" He demanded and was talking under his breath more

"S-sorry Achlys it's just your reaction!! Hahahah" Cryo laughed his heart out as Lecia slowly stopped her laughing and chuckled to follow Achlys

Lisare still looking up and following Achlys also

"I swear I am gonna use your magic against you one day Cryo"

He walked past some trees and hills, he sees the first signs of building and his gaze lights up

And he starts to run towards the building catching the 3 off guard

The three run after him

-------------------

In a place beyond the limits of the ocean

A beautiful small island between the continents that holds them at bay

The island is filled with... Music notes? And beautiful musical sounds echoing around the island

It's presence alone attracts alot of attention... Not by living creatures, rather things that are bound by music and are "alive" because of the music

Music notes smaller then the Giant ones move around the island like a purpose is following them

What more in the middle of the island lays a hole that represents a trumpet horn

And a low humming sounds leaves the entrance with the notes hesitating to enter the hole

"♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪" one of the notes said with its movement while the other didn't move for a few seconds

"♪♪♪♪♪♪♪" the other one moving more relentless

Their movements stopped as they both jumped in the hole making happy noises
