The 1.000 year Great Sage ---> COMPLETED STORY

That last sentence was unneeded because they all rushed to the windows to see for themselves. They looked through every window, doubting what they were seeing. After the third window, Scholar Muryu and Professor Albeyrt stopped and turned pale, thinking about everything that was needed to make something like that. Not only the Magic needed but also the knowledge to think and to achieve something like that. The Minister of Magic fell to his knees and he was going to hit his head on the ground if Myko wasn't fast enough to catch him. The Queen was screaming and clapping her hands in excitement and the King was laughing.

- Ahahahah! Seya, you have done it again! How did you think about something like this? Can this be applied to anything else? Because I would love to have some sorts of a carriage to fly like this on my own!

Ryn smiled and she confirmed.

- Seya already asked us to do something like that and Hina is taking care of it. She's almost finishing and very soon, she will apply for an Ownership Law. Last time we talked, she was just taking care of the security measures in the Magical Program that she was infusing in a Big Magic Crystal and Zak was testing all the Earth Magic needed to change a carriage to be able to fly safely. She has the weirdest idea, of creating a company of flying carriages that people could rent to fly like this! She thinks that her way of transportation will soon rival with the Gateway Crystals!

The King happily nodded.

- Yes, I can see that happening! I like the easiness of the Gateway to travel, but flying inside a carriage? That would be amazing! And you guys helped on making this mountain to fly? How?

- We practiced a lot our Control of Magic Flow and we followed Seya's guidance. That binocular that Professor Albeyrt has in his hands was a valuable tool, to make the Crystal that Gaya is made off. We looked through it to a Magic Crystal to understand the composition and the way the small crystals are connected to make a Magic Crystal and we then made the same connections and crystal formations on the rock of this mountain. And then the Goddess appeared to congratulate us about our work! It was so cool! Seya asked her to grant life to the mountain so that she could create Magic like any other living being and the Goddess did it! At first, Gaya was more like a toddler, she could barely speak, but then Seya asked Queen Titania, Master Eridan and Master Aku Kiro for help and they have been teaching Gaya! And now she talks like there's no tomorrow!

During Ryn's explanation, Muryu and Albeyrt were looking at the binocular and trembling by the thought of what could be achieved just by using it.

Scholar Muryu realized how much powerful a Mage could become, just by diligently training his Magic Flow like he was doing every day, since Seya visited the Institute.

Professor Albeyrt was looking at the binocular and all around him, thinking about the possibilities for such an instrument and the amount of knowledge that Seya must have, to think and to actually put into practical use, something that could win against the theory of the World Strength that Seya calls Gravity. He took a deep breath and he called for Seya's attention.

- Marquess Seya, if I can be so bold as to ask something after my foolish first impression of you, did the idea for making something like this came from the books that you said you had?

- No, but the theory is in there. Along with the investigation, practical uses and equipment that can be created. For instance, the process to make windows is in there, but that is a knowledge that still exists in the world. I just used those books to understand the process and to be able to create windows by using Earth and Fire Magic, instead of the manual labour that's normally needed. That's why I said, if both Institutes work together, they can make great things. The Mages can make things with their Magic, but without the information and experiments done by the Professors, they can't do it as fast or easier as they would, if they had that information. The same goes for the Professors. A theory that you have can be tested by using the Mage's Magic, instead of manual trial and error. Like this flying mountain. The theory of Gravity, that the world creates a force that pulls objects and people towards the ground, if understood, can be bent and Magic can be used to make things fly. Ok, it also needs knowledge about the composition of air and weight of gases that compounds our atmosphere, but it can be done. Even that binocular that you have in your hand can be used to look at the sky and understand a lot about Planetary Gravity. For instance, why do we have two moons? Why they don't fall on top of us or go away? And what about the sun? Why this planet doesn't fall towards it? Are there more planets around us that have the same Gravity? Is there life on those planets?

Professor Albeyrt was becoming even more surprised than he already was. So many concepts and theories that he and his colleagues over these past years were duelling with, were so easily presented to him as easy as that.

- I… I know the Gravity term as the World Strength, but despite being a different name, it's the same theory… and you seem to understand it even better than me, considering that you made an entire mountain fly… I truly apologize for underestimating you, I looked like a fool…

Seya smiled and he started to hover at 50 centimetres above the ground. Ryn imitated him and did the same, flying to be at his side.

- I've been doing this for quite some time, following Seya's teachings. I managed to do it even without understanding or knowing anything about Gravity or World Strength!

Seya slowly landed and he continued.

- This same principle that I use to fly, I use in a small Earth Crystal to make my body heavier than it normally is, to strengthen my muscles. This is just a simple example of Science and Magic working together. To do something like this only with Science would need a lot of research, new equipment, and a lot of tests. Doing this with Magic without understanding the theory of Gravity, would be very difficult.

Ryn slowly landed near Lionelia and she whispered to her.

- I never knew there were so many things needed to make me fly! I just do it as Seya taught me, I think that my body is light as a feather and use Wind Magic to move me!

Lionelia nodded.

- Yeah, our guy is really something… no wonder the Goddess is crazy about him… better if we get prepared, sooner or later, she will rival us for Seya's love. We may have to receive another girl in our family sooner than I would like to…

- You mean that the Goddess… is in love with him?

- Yeah… but I don't think that Seya knows it. And I also think that Seya is in love with her and she also doesn't know. You never noticed how they look at each other? With little Aria, it's more like she is a sister or a friend, but with the teenager one, it's different.

Ryn frowned.

- I don't like that girl…

- Me neither, but remember what little Aria told us? That they are the same identity and at the same time, they are not? That one is more lenient and more difficult to handle. I wonder what will happen if a grown-up Goddess goes after him…

Ryn looked at Seya a little worried and she whispered to Lionelia again.

- Do you think she will take him for herself? What can we do?

- Nothing, I guess… I don't know about you, but I truly love the Goddess and I won't mind sharing Seya with her…

- Yeah, I don't mind also… in fact… I think I could be a little proud of him… conquering the Goddess like that…

Lionelia smiled and they both looked at Seya that was still talking with Professor Albeyrt about more weird subjects. Lionelia whispered in an even lower voice.

- It's better if we don't tell them anything, let them find out for themselves that they love each other. They may never find out about each other feelings, and in that case, I'm not going to tell them anything!

Ryn nodded and she remained silent, thinking. While Seya was still talking with Professor Albeyrt, Myko was with the Minister of Magic, waiting for him to recover.

- Are you feeling better, Sir?

- Yes, thank you for your help. I almost hurt myself again… Every time he does something like this, I always manage to endure it. But this time, it was indeed too much… Up until now, in my entire life, this is the second time that I faint because of a shock. And it's always his fault… Sometimes I admire him so much and others, I envy him. He does things like this look so easy! Not even all the Mages in the world, working together, could think or actually make an entire mountain fly! I wonder how much work he and his friends had, to make this happen! The way he talks about, it looks easy, but to actually do it? Turn an entire mountain into a Magic Crystal, cover it again with a layer of rough rock, cut it from the ground, make it float high in the sky and then make it be able to fly? I've met him for the first time when he was 10 years old and at that time, I knew immediately that he was something out of the ordinary. I've been learning more about Magic from him, than from anyone or any book in the world! And even with all his Magic power, his influence in the Kings of our world and all his money, he still remains humble and willing to help every time and anyone… a truly remarkable young man…

Myko looked at Seya and nodded.

- Yes, I think the same too. At first, I managed to anger him and he almost killed me. But he gave me a punishment and a second chance as his Chief of Security inside Gaya. I've been following him around and he surprises me every time… even the way that he treats his servants or the Maids of Company that he offered refugee in here, it's remarkable…

Hearing that, the Minister of Magic almost shouted.

- What? He has Maids of Company living here with him?

- He doesn't like them to be called like that. Princess Arys of the RabbitKind mocked him because of it and by doing that, insulted an older woman and I thought that he was going to take the Princess' head off! He calls them Geisha and he says that in the LizardKind prairies it's a performer, an artist and that line of work is highly respected. There are also real Maids of Company, but he forbade them for working like that while inside Gaya because there are children and families in here. They are working as Maids or Servants and learning a different job as he suggested.

- Yeah, sounds just like something he would do… Well, better if I go near him again, he seems to have finished his talk with the Professor and he's talking with the King now.

- Stop fighting and enjoy my hug, you stupid brat! I don't hug you very often! I've been talking with Queen Titania, Master Eridan and Master Aku Kiro while you were babbling weird words! Gaya is amazing! She's so funny! I was laughing a lot with her jokes and mockery! And she's very curious! She asked me a lot of things! I'm the first Human Queen that she meets and she was asking about my life as a Queen and how it was to know you for all these years! Your daughter is very proud of you!

Seya finally got free and he tilted his head sideways.

- Well, considering that my Queen is the only Human Queen in the world, no wonder that she is so curious, because Gaya never met another one… but even if there were more, no Queen shadows my Queen's beauty!

That last shout avoided a punch to his head that the Queen was preparing.

- You always manage to graciously escape my wrath… Well, what more can you show us? You talked about some rare books, I bet that Professor Albeyrt is dying to see those. I just want to see everything inside Gaya. She told me that there are former slaves that you granted refugee and some Maids of Company and Geisha. She told me that Geisha women are very knowledged and that I could learn a thing or two from them! I looked for Gaya's head to punch, but I only managed to kick a wall.

- Oops… Gaya, it's not a very good idea to mock the Queen. With her absurd amount of Fire Magic, she can melt this entire room.

- …||… Oh! Really? She's that powerful? Amazing! Queen Rohan, can you teach me how to use Fire Magic as powerful as that? I could increase the temperature in Father's room during the night and having him waking up thinking that he was being roasted in an Oven! Hihihihi! …||…

The Queen laughed, thinking on that scene.

- Ahahahah! Yeah, that would be really funny! Call me to come and see that when you do it! Ahahahah!

Seya just shook his head while everyone was laughing from Gaya's joke. He then opened a Gateway directly to his Library and he invited everyone to follow him. The Queen went to Ryn and Lionelia and she stood in their middle, grabbing one arm of each of them.

- I prefer taking a walk with two beautiful girls while you guys go see that boring Library. Chief of Security Myko Ariansyl, do you mind on escorting us?

Myko bowed at the Queen and he looked at Seya, asking for permission. Seya just smiled and Myko answered.

- It will be a pleasure and an honour, my Queen!

Seya went to Queen Titania and the two Masters to thank them for their help with teaching Gaya and he quickly crossed the Gateway, followed by the King, the Minister of Magic, Muryu, and Albeyrt. The Queen said her goodbyes to Queen Titania and the other two Teachers and she left in the direction of the main hallway, guided by Myko and accompanied by Ryn and Lionelia.

In the hallway, they crossed paths with Milady Margaret and Baron Frank that were also walking around and they also joined the Queen's tour. They saw some rooms and empty houses, they saw the Dwarfs diligently working, went to the kitchen, the Meeting Cave and to the Hill outside. There were already some new flowers and trees and a new pond, a sign that Talya and her friends did some work in there. Ryn frowned and Lionelia made a throw-up face, only to have the Queen asking them.

- What? I think it looks rather beautiful!

Lionelia answered while kicking a nearby new rock.

- Seems that Talya woman was here… I really don't like that RabbitKind woman.

The Queen smiled, she remembered who Talya was.

- Yes, Titania's daughter… the one that is crazy about Seya. You could be more understanding, Princess Lionelia, because despite being a Fairy Princess, Talya is also a maiden in love. You better than anyone else should understand that, considering your act of love for Seya, by changing your gender. One can only imagine what a Fairy in love would do for her beloved…

Lionelia and Ryn remained silent, thinking. The Queen made a gentle smile and they continued their visit. Myko guided the Queen to the room that Seya was preparing for her and the King and she became ecstatic. There was already a balcony, surrounded by glass to keep the cold out and she stood there, looking at the view and smiling. When they returned to the room again, the Chief Decorator that Seya hired, arrived with three more decorators and they were doing some measures. They immediately recognized the Queen and they kneeled. The Chief Decorator was the first to talk, looking embarrassed.

- My Queen, we weren't expecting you! We apologize, but your room is not finished! Marquess Seya warned us that you would want to come for a visit in a few days, but I wasn't expecting it would be so soon!

- Yes, me neither. He surprised me with a visit today at my Palace and he invited me here. But please, stand up and continue your work, I was just leaving to continue my visit. I trust in your work and I know you will do wonders to this room, making it amazingly beautiful.

- Well… we wanted to do that, but Marquess Seya told us to make it more useful and functional, that things like a rug in the wall just to make the wall look pretty, wasn't his idea of usefulness…

- I see… Well, I like pretty things, but I will trust his judgment on this. If I don't like or I think it's missing more beauty, it will just give me an excuse to punch his head! Not that I ever needed one to punch him, but with an excuse, he can't complain! Heheheh! Oh, I have just one request, can you put a beautiful table and four chairs in that balcony? I think it will be nice, to have some tea while enjoying the view.

- We were already going to do that, my Queen. In fact, we are going to do the same in every room that has a balcony. Not only the rooms for Royalty but the ones for Nobles and rich Merchants, that Marquess Seya wants to rent for visitors.

- Ahahah! That guy is always looking for ways to earn money! Well, we need to get going, please don't spread the word that I'm visiting, Seya asked me to disguise myself so that I don't make his guests nervous.

The Chief decorator nodded.

- Of course, my Queen. There are a lot of people roaming around in this mountain and it seems that are more arriving. That won't be a problem, Gaya is huge, there is plenty of space available and a group of Dwarfs is fixing many rooms and opening some closed hallways.

Baroness Margaret nodded, she saw a lot of BeastKind during her walk with her husband.

- My Queen, I went with Frank to the Checkpoint and the Border Guards told us that there is always a new group of former slaves arriving. Most of them chose to go to the original country of their family, but some were sent here. And we also got some amazing news that we need to tell Marquess Seya. There are some youngsters that were recruited by force into the Empire's army and now, are returning to our lands. It's wonderful, I know many of them and I know that their parents were always dreaming for them to come back!

- Those are indeed splendid news, Seya will for sure like to know that… Well, shall we go? I want to see those Entertainment Rooms and talk with some of those Geisha. It's better if we also try to find my reckless daughter, I bet she's making a mess somewhere!
