The 1.000 year Great Sage ---> COMPLETED STORY

Seya smiled and he opened a Gateway to the Ancient Library. Eridan was at his table and luckily, Inia was near, bringing more books to him. She was the first to notice the Gateway.

- Seya! What a nice surprise! Look, this grumpy old Dragonoid was complaining about choosing books for your teachers! I'm helping him by choosing some good ones that I wrote! Heheheh!

- Cool! But I have a small surprise for you both if you don't mind on crossing and joining me here.

Eridan made a huge smile, he seemed pleased with the chance for a rest.

- I'm going! Finally, some peace and quiet! I was going nuts, with so many books to choose from!

Eridan crossed and Inia followed him. Seya dispersed the Gateway and when Eridan was about to speak, they all heard Gaya's voice.

- …||…'He… llo. I… am… Ga… ya! Ga… ya cu…te! Ga… ya sm…art!'…||…

Eridan and Inia looked at each other, wondering what that voice was. Seya smiled and he opened wide his arms.

- Behold my greatest creation! Gaya, the Magical Mountain! A huge mountain of solid rock turned into Magic Crystal by me and my friends! And the Goddess granted me my wish and gave her life! Gaya is a very young Magical Being, she was born today. She is still learning how to speak and I was hoping that you two could talk with her, from time to time, explaining what a Magical Being is and what are your duties. I think that with your help, she will become a very wise Magical Being.

Eridan looked puzzled and he went to a nearby wall with Inia and they placed their hands over it. They started to feel the Magic Flow of Gaya, making sure that it was indeed alive and sensing the Magic Crystal that was well hidden below that rocky surface. Inia was the first to talk, with a shine in her eyes.

- You and your friends turned all this into Crystal? Amazing! And the Goddess granting it life it's indeed remarkable. But I sensed one strange thing, there's no ground beneath Gaya?

- Well, we also made it float. We are now slowly flying, back and forth, between the Dwarfs Mountains and the sea.

Eridan opened his eyes and he rushed to a window. He looked at the front, where the ocean was visible. Below, the earth was far away. Looking up, he could see clouds. He went to the other windows and he could only see land at a distance. On one of the windows, he could clearly see the Dwarfs Mountains, still far. He laughed.

- Ahahahah! You really outdid yourself, this time! This is the craziest idea ever! I completely understand why the Goddess granted it life, something as wonderful as a flying mountain, for sure deserved to be alive! I can hardly remember the last time that the Goddess made a new Magical Being. But a living, flying Mountain? That's amazing! Can Gaya use Magic?

- Not yet. As I said, she was born today! I told her to feel everything inside her, the world outside, and her Magic Flow, but she will need some help. Let me bring here Queen Athena and Master Aku Kiro, they will like to meet Gaya and everyone can talk about what needs to be done, to teach her.

Seya opened a Gateway to Athena's Palace, making his shield on the other side to prevent the seawater from coming. Princess Attina waved at him from afar, she knew she couldn't cross that shield. Queen Athena crossed it quickly after Seya's invitation, with some seawater rushing in that Seya dried with his Fire Magic, after dispersing the Gateway. He then opened another Gateway to Aku Kiro's Dojo and when he joined the others inside Gaya's Control Room, Seya told them what was his idea, by making Gaya. He explained his plan to attack the Demonoid Island, the Laws that he infused into the Magic Crystal and his intention of having Xenya and Master Aku Kiro teaching the Bushido Code to Gaya. Seya explained that they could come to see Gaya by using the Communicator Device that Zak was placing in the Meeting Cave. He even asked if he could buy some sculptures and paintings from Eridan and Inia, to decorate the hallways and caves. They agreed and Athena said that some Mermaids are very good with decoration and if Seya wanted, he could contract them to decorate some rooms, like an underwater paradise. Seya smiled, it would be wonderful, having some thematic rooms for future guests and he then remembered one thing. Dwarfs are amazingly good when concerning caves! He quickly opened a Gateway to King Barunger's throne room and on the other side, Barunger was at his throne, talking with a group of old Dwarfs. He seemed happy by that interruption and he runs towards the Gateway.

- I'm sorry Ministers, but my grandson is waiting for me and it looks urgent!

- Uuf! Finally, a moments rest! Seya, don't you want to become the King of the Dwarfs? Meetings like that one kill me a little every time!

- No, Gramps, I'm good. I wanted to ask you if you have some Dwarfs that could help me with fixing some caves and hallways inside this mountain.

- Mountain? We are inside a mountain? I don't recognize this cave. And why so many honorable guests in here?

Suddenly, they all felt a tickling inside their heads, Gaya was laughing again and she spoke.

- …||…'He… llo. I… am… Ga… ya! Ga… ya cu…te! Ga… ya sm…art!'…||…

- What the… Master Aku Kiro, stop this, it's weird!

- …||…'Me not say a thing. Gaya spoke…||…'

Barunger was looking around and everyone was smiling at him. Seya explained everything and at every sentence, Barunger was becoming more and more surprised. When Seya finished, Barunger slowly nodded his head and he went to the nearest wall and after placing one hand over it, he spoke.

- Hello, Gaya. I'm Barunger, King of the Dwarfs and Seya's grandparent. Considering that Seya is like your father, that makes me your great-grandparent. I'm pleased to meet you.

They all could hear Gaya trying to greet Barunger, but she was having difficulties on saying that big word.

- …||...'He… llo, gr… reat… grand… gra… gram… ps!'…||…

Barunger slapped his own forehead.

- Great, another one to totally disregard my age and position by calling me Gramps! Ok, considering that you are still learning how to speak, you can call me Gramps, my cute Gaya! Now, let me see what I can do, to help your father on this.

The same tickling in their heads and Gaya spoke.

- …||…'Fa…ther … Se… ya!'…||…

Seya was shaking his head ever since he heard the word 'father' coming from Barunger's mouth. Hearing Gaya addressing him like that, was too much for him!

- No, Gaya, don't call me father! Seya is enough!

Barunger shook his head and everyone agreed with him.

- No, call him father Seya, young Gaya, it's what he is. He made you like this, him and his friends. By the way, Ryn and Lionelia are your mothers, the boys are your uncle, and the girls your aunt! Ahahah! That's just perfect! Yes, Gaya, treat them like your family, because that's what they are!

They all started to laugh and they laughed even harder by hearing Gaya pronounce those titles and names. Seya was pulling his hair and strongly shaking his head.

- …||…'Mo…ther … R…yn! Mo… ther … Lio… ne… lia! Un…cle Z…Zak! Aun…t Hi… na!'…||…

Gaya continued to repeat the names that she learned while Seya was shaking his head and Eridan was tapping his back at each name. In the end, Gaya asked.

- …||…'Gram… ps … Ba… run..ger, Ga…ya… sai…d… we…well? '…||…

Barunger was laughing like crazy, grabbing Aku Kiro's arm and laughing with him. Aku Kiro was whistling a lot and bumping his tail on the ground.

- Ahahah! Yes, that was perfect, Gaya! Ahahah! Seya and his daughter, Gaya, the Magical Flying Mountain! Ahahah! This is so good! Ahahah! I'm going to mock Seya for ages, because of this!

While they were still laughing, Seya's friends arrived and they were surprised to see so many visits laughing like that. Barunger explained what happened, before Seya's scared gaze. Ryn started to clap her hands, Lionelia was smiling and jumping and the rest were either laughing or asking Gaya to say their titles and name. Gaya happily complied and they were smiling with a shine in their eyes, just by hearing Gaya addressing them as family. Seya was looking at them and if for him it was embarrassing having Gaya calling him father, the others seemed to like being addressed as family. Arys was trying to hug a wall and she shouted.

- I have such an amazing young cousin! My cousin Gaya, the Magical Mountain! Because I'm not your aunt, my young one, I'm Seya's cousin and that makes us, cousins too! This is so cool!

Seya made a little smile. He was embarrassed but the others were happy. So, he would try to hide his embarrassment for them. He remembered that the people on his lands might have noticed Gaya in the sky and they could be alarmed. So, he grabbed his Communicator Crystal and while everyone else was talking with Gaya and among them, he made a call to Baron Frank.

- Hello, Baron. Can I talk to you for a moment?

- 'Of course, Milord. I was just about to call you, I'm at my home and I received news that a mountain was missing from the border of your lands and in its place, there was a big hole filled with water!'

- Yes, that was my doing. It was me and my friends, actually. Can you send a message to the other villages? That mountain that used to be there is now a Magical Mountain and it's now flying near the clouds, in the sky. It will continue to travel back and forth, between where she used to be and the sea, near the new Inn. I need you to call the people that helped on the decorations of the Tea Shop, I want their help to decorate some rooms inside this mountain, and like that, the Mountain will turn into a place that can receive visits, from time to time. I also need some rooms, fit for a King and Queen.

- 'Milord… that's… I don't even know what to say! It's… a little unbelievable!'

- I understand, but send the message to the villages. When you finish, call me and I'll bring you here, to see it for yourself.

- 'Of course, Milord, I'll take care of it in an instant.'

Barunger was calling him, he wanted to return so that he could find some Dwarfs for the task that Seya asked. After leaving, Seya and the others went for a walk through Gaya. His friends made a lot of new windows, covering every opening to the outside and they had already placed the Sun Light Crystals on the ceilings, but they weren't giving any light, it was missing the Crystal outside. Seya placed his hand on a wall and he infused into the Crystal a particular Magical Program. As soon as he finished, the Sun Light Crystals started to emit sunlight. Seya smiled.

- It was missing the Crystal to gather sunlight outside. But since Gaya is a Magic Crystal, I just needed to infuse the Program for it. It's really convenient having a Magic Crystal Mountain, I can make and try a lot of things!

Inia nodded, she was very impressed by Seya's use of Light Magic. They continued to walk along the hallways, stopping here and there to choose what a particular cave could be used for. Seya started to engrave on the rock above each entrance, what that cave would be. Either a kitchen, a bathroom, rooms, storage, entertainment rooms or meeting rooms. They even chose six rooms to be used by Kings and Queens and three rooms to be used by Magical Beings. Seya engraved the name of each Kingdom and Magical Race. Titania, Inia, and Athena took upon themselves the responsibility of decorating their own rooms. Seya explained that the rooms for the Royalty of each Kingdom were going to be taken care of by some people that already did work for him. They continued their walk and Seya stopped in a big cave near a smaller one, right in the middle height of Gaya, at the Northside. Seya smiled and he engraved the words 'Aria's Church' and 'Aria's Room'. Eridan was puzzled by that but Seya explained that he had already invited the Goddess to visit or to live there if she wanted to. Inia and Athena approved that idea and they were also a little jealous for never thinking about doing that in their own home! They continued their walk, looking around and admiring the almost-ready rooms and houses that were left by the Dwarfs. Many needed some fixings but they could become habitable, again. Seya stopped near one house and he looked at Ryn and Lionelia.

- You know, Gaya is so big and with so many caves, empty rooms and houses, what do you say if we from time to time rent some rooms and houses for people to come here on holidays? And we could also let more people live here if they want to. This can become a new city, filled with people, life, and laughter. I think that even Gaya would love that, to always have people here, making her company.

Ryn and Lionelia thought for a while and they looked at each other. They saw a shine on each other eyes and they both smiled. Lionelia nodded and she answered.

- That would be so cool! I was starting to get a little worried about living in this enormous mountain with so many hallways and caves, just the three of us! You know that LionKind prefers to be near a lot of people and having so many unused spaces, was getting on my nerves!

Heiji raised her hand, she looked worried.

- Can I choose a room for me and John? I think I deserve a place near my niece Gaya!

The others also shouted that they wanted one and Seya frowned.

- What? You all thought that you won't get one? It's just a matter of choosing which one you want, there are a lot of rooms, caves, and houses. You can all go and take a look for yourselves to find one to your liking. Don't forget, if you find an opening to the air outside, make a window.

They all smiled and looked at each other before starting to run, to choose the best spots first. Seya continued on his walk and one by one, Titania, Eridan, Inia and Aku Kiro helped him on deciding the uses for the newfound caves. When they reached the Meeting Cave, Seya looked to the big entrance that could serve as a path to the Hill. The cold air coming from that entrance was too much. Seya frowned and he used his Fire Magic to warm up. While the others were looking at him and wondering what he was going to do, Seya went through the opening and he placed on the edges of the path to the Hill and around the edges of the Hill, some Big Crystals that he took from his Compressed Dimension, with the same Magical Program that he used at school to make the Light Dome. When he thought it was enough he went to each one to activate it and soon, a protective Dome was coming from the edge of the entrance to the Meeting Cave and it was all around the Hill. Like that, the cold air couldn't affect anyone that was on the Hill, on the path or near the entrance to the Meeting Room. Even the Meeting Room was protected from the cold. With the sun rays crossing the Light Dome, it was even getting warmer. Seya returned and he faced a smiling Inia.

- That's another good use of Light Magic, my student! You learned well!

Seya smiled and he bowed, thanking Inia for all her guidance and teachings. The Baron's voice came from Seya's Communicator Crystal, telling that his message about the Mountain was passed to the other villages. Seya opened a Gateway and Baron Frank crossed it, facing a group of smiling Magical Beings and Master Aku Kiro.

- Hello, Milord. So many visitors, is this some sort of special occasion?

Seya smiled and introduced his Baron.

- Gaya, this is Baron Frank Macleod, of the Clan Macleod. He's a friend and he's also Duncan's father. He's another being that you can allow to visit you, from the Communicator Device.
