The 1.000 year Great Sage ---> COMPLETED STORY

The Princess slowly decreased her Magic, to her normal level. She then quickly took her armor and placed it together with her sword inside her belt purse. She put on again her tiara and she smiled, happy with her hard work.

Ryn was shaking her head.

- You… that's… argh!!!

- Ryn, I warned you already, didn't I?

Ryn gulped, she didn't want to be sent to the school.

- … yes…

Hina was finally able to speak, she lost her voice as soon as she saw the first ball of light that Seya threw to the original Inn.

- Was that the Ancient Dragonoid Magic?

- Yes, a very difficult one. I need a lot of concentration to use that, so I'm totally defenseless. And I really hate being like that! And sometimes, when I use this kind of Magic, some troublesome beings appear. Most of the Dragonoids can sense this Magic from far away and normally they try to check who is using it.

Hina was smiling, even her eyes had a shine.

- Can we learn that? It's so cool!

- Sorry, but I can't. Ancient Dragonoid Magic is too powerful. I was forbidden to teach that.

Hina became depressed, it was like she had suddenly a raining cloud over her head!

- ... ok...

- Next, an indoor swimming pool!

Ryn quickly looked at Seya, she just heard another strange word.

- A what?

Seya gathered is Earth Magic and he chooses a place at the right of the main building.

He made a big rectangular hole of 10 meters for 20 meters, with 50 centimeters depth in one side and going deeper until 3 meters depth until the other side. He then created a smooth rock surface on the walls and at the bottom.

He took again some swords from his Compressed Dimension and he made 2 staircases at each side of the rectangular hole. Everyone was looking at what he was doing, wondering.

He then created walls and a roof, covering that strange hole.

Using rocks and a lot of fire to make glass, he even made large windows, all around that strange construction.

- Well, let's go inside. I still need to fill it with water and make the drainage.

I guess there's no harm if the swimming pool pours water over the cliff. It will make a beautiful waterfall that will spread until the ocean, every time the Innkeeper changes the water of the pool.

They all followed him, and when they entered through the outside door of that strange building, they saw Seya already making a door to the main building. He then continued by making some chairs and tables in one corner and some cubicles for people to change their clothes in the opposite corner. All around that huge hole, he made stretching chairs that looked like beds. When they were still trying those strange chairs, Seya had already filled the hole with water and created two zones with showers near the two doors.

Ryn was looking all around, wondering what was all that for.

- Why did you fill this hole with water? And this building?

- Well, imagine that one day it's cold outside. Or the sea ocean is too chilly. The guests staying at the Inn can come here, get some sun that would come from all these windows, relax on those chairs, drink something at those tables or take a bath in that swimming pool. Pretty cool, right?

Everyone was speechless and with their eyes and mouth wide open. How did he think of that? Ryn fainted again. Hina immediately grabbed her while looking angry at Seya.

- You are going to kill Ryn of a heart attack! This is too crazy, even for you!

Seya smiled, he was having so much fun!

- I'm not done yet. Bring her outside. I'm going to do a very cool thing.

Seya used his Healing Magic to wake up Ryn. They all followed him outside, wondering what he was going to do next. Ryn was still wobbling but she still followed them.

- I hope everyone has been training with the Wind Crystals, you are going to fly with me over that cliff.

- I'm already very good at this!

They all took their own Wind Crystal from their belt purses and one by one, they joined Hina and Seya that were already floating in the air at 3 meters high. Ryn was the last one, she was still a little dizzy.

- Ryn, if you don't concentrate, you are going to do a very nasty fall over there.

Ryn slapped her own face, to stop the dizziness.

- Ok, I got this. Where to?

Seya flew over the cliff while holding hands with Ryn and they were hovering, facing the cliff. The others followed them, they all wanted to see what he was going to do next. Duncan was being held from one side by Arys and on the other, was Zak. Arys was all red, for being so close and Duncan was all red also, looking at Arys or by felling her hand grabbing him.

Seya used Earth Magic and he started to make a rock staircase that went in a zigzag form from the top of the cliff until down of it, ending at the sand of the beach. He then made a wood handrail, for people to grab when using the staircase to access the beach.

Next, he made a macadam road, since the front door of the Inn and doing a zigzag with little inclination down the cliff and ending on a rock platform that he made. That rock platform was large enough that it could hold up to two carriages with horses and it was also made in macadam. He even put there a small roof, for shade for the horses.

Seya then used fire and wind to polish the macadam road and the macadam platform.

He used Earth Magic again, to make a stable for the horses, at the left of the Inn.

He looked at Ryn to confirm how she was. Despite her eyes were wide open, she seemed ok. Seya went with her and they flew to the front door of the Inn and landed near it. The others followed them.

- Well, a staircase for the guests to go to the beach on foot if they want. And a street for carriages, if some of them prefer that way.

Ryn was smiling, she was still a little shaken, but she was really amazed.

- That's so cool! You even made a handrail beautifully decorated!

- I'm glad you liked. I thought you were going to faint again and I had to catch you.

Shall we go inside? I want to check if everything is in order, before returning to our Capital.

Ryn nodded.

- Sure. Let's see if you made a blunder inside while the outside looks so beautiful!

Seya grabbed his set of keys and after testing the front door lock, he entered. Everyone followed him, through the front counter, the dining hall, the kitchen, the bathrooms, the rooms, the storage, the underground cellar, the living quarters on the back for the owners and the attic that could be an extra room or storage.

Everything was perfect. Pots and pans in the kitchen, beds in the rooms, there was even cabinets and shelves in the cellar and in the storage. Seya was looking everywhere and while he was moving from room to room, he was testing the keys and placing in the ceilings small Crystals with their supports.

On the kitchen, he put an Oven, a Stove, a Freezer and a Refrigerator. Seya placed the Crystals inside of them and tested. He even placed the extra Crystals in the storage and took the opportunity to explain how they work and their uses. Ryn was looking at them, thinking that if her mother had those at their house, it would be easier for everyone.

Seya even placed a Communicator Device on top of the front counter. He had made that one himself, previously.

When they went outside again, Seya placed the Sun Light Crystal at the top of the front door.

He then opened a Gateway to some of his wild lands and he chose four horses that were running free in a prairie. It took him a while, to catch them. When they were finally caught, Seya placed them inside the new stables.

- Now it's ready. A new Inn, an indoor swimming pool, a staircase and a road to the beach. It just needs blankets for the beds, towels for the tables, food, and wine.

Hina was blown away.

- It's so beautiful, everything! You made most of it with Earth Magic, right? And you also used Wind and Fire for that beautiful road! I never saw such a road. It looks so good!

- Yeah, I want to do another road like that to cross the Eternal Forest and to connect my Capital to my parent's village on the other side. That way, these lands, and the Royal Kingdom will be connected by a road, not only by the Gateway. Pretty cool, right?

Ryn was wobbling again. She made an effort to grab Seya by his collar and shake him.

- All this… in just a few moments… and he wants to build an enormous road all across the Eternal Forest… this… are you kidding? How can you do all of this? How???

- A lot of Magic Control training. Don't slack off and in a few years, you will be able to do even more than this.

- I will never be able to do anything like this, even if I practice all my life!

- Yeah, I remember you saying that some time ago and now you know how to make Magic Crystals, do short chants to use your Magic and you can fly.

- You have a point there. But still, all this? Seya, you… you're impossible!

- Yeah, but you can't deny that this is really cool, right? Right?

Ryn smiled a little, and then she started to shake him again.

- Yes… argh! When you do things like this and so easily, sometimes I hate you!

- Yeah, my mother used to say that. Envy is such an ugly thing, isn't it? Heheheh!

Let's go, I need to bring here the new owners. Since there's also a Communicator Device on top of the front counter, they can come and go using the Gateway Crystals.

Ryn let go of Seya, she was getting tired of all that shaking.

- Yeah, I saw you taking that from your Compressed Dimension. Did the King also give you that one?

- No, I made it myself.

Ryn was wobbling again.

- You did what? But… but…

- It was easier than doing that Communicator Crystal that you have around your neck, you know?

Ryn became silent, thinking. While Ryn was still looking at her own Communicator Crystal, Seya opened a Gateway directly to the Inn where the Innkeeper was. He then took another Communicator Device and placed it on the front counter.

- With this Communicator Device in here, your son can come and go when he feels like it. Here are the keys for the new Inn. Can you all come with me? I want to show the changes that I made there.

The old Innkeeper, his son, and his wife followed Seya and they joined Ryn and the others, at the front door of the new Inn. Seya showed them the staircase to the beach, the new road, the stables, and the indoor swimming pool.

When they entered the new Inn, they were astonished. Everything was an exact replica of the old one.

- Here, a purse with 50 gold coins. You need to buy blankets for the beds, towels for the tables, bathing towels, food, and wine. Don't forget two carriages. I have already put in the stables 4 horses. If you need more money, just say it. And take this, five Gateway Crystals already charged with 15 uses for your family. You will need to go back and forth, all the time. When these Crystals get depleted of Magic, just go to the Baron to refill it, for free.

The InnKeeper's son did a deep bow.

- Milord, this is truly amazing! I will not let Milord down, Milord can count on me!

- I will. You'll have some days to get things organized. As soon as I authorize outside visitors, I'm sure that you will get plenty of guests to stay here. If not for anything else, people will come to go to the beach or to use the swimming pool, because it's a novelty.

Don't leave your kid unattended near the swimming pool. One part is shallow, but the rest is too deep for a 6-year-old. The doors of that building have locks with the key in place. Close it when you can't be with your daughter in the swimming pool.

- Milord even thought of my daughter's security? That's just… I can't thank Milord enough!

- Yes, you can. With hard work. I must go now, I want to visit the school. Let's go, every one, one more stop.

Seya opened a Gateway and on the other side, they could see a house. When they crossed, they were in front of the school of Seya's Capital. At the top of the front door of the school, above the Sun Light Crystal, there was a sign saying 'Ryn's school for happy children and a better future'. Ryn was speechless. She smiled and she hugged Seya.

Princess Arys made a throw-up face.

- Stupid love birds… more hugs, and then there comes the kissing… argh! So annoying!

Duncan smiled, this RabbitKind girl was really something.

- That seems like a severe case of envy.

Arys had her face all red. Princess Heiji didn't miss the opportunity to tease them.

- Yeah, I think you should do something about it, Duncan, or this RabbitKind Princess will blow up.

With that, it was Duncan's turn to be red. Princess Heiji shrugged her shoulders.

- Two lousy cowards. Oh well, maybe next time, then. Seya, why are we here?

- To visit the school, of course. Shall we go?

Grabbing Ryn's hand, Seya opened the door of the school and they all followed him.

Seya went in the direction of a familiar Teacher's voice. When they reached the door of that classroom, Seya knocked.

- One moment… Oh, Marquess Seya, and everyone! Do come in! Children, quiet please, we have visitors!

Ryn was surprised, she knew that teacher.

- Teacher Fil? I didn't know that the Teacher was working at this school!

- Yes, Marquess Seya invited me.

Seya entered the classroom, only to froze still in the middle of it, looking to one little girl with curly hair and blue eyes, seated in the front row, smiling at him. His friends were wondering what had happened when they also saw the little girl and they also froze.

Seya was shaking when he greeted the little girl.

- Hello… What are you doing here?

- Hello Big Brother! I'm a student here, of course!

- What's that about the Big Brother thing?

- Do you prefer if I call you Marquess Seya? But you are my amazing Big Brother! Can't I call you that?

- Sure, call me anything you like, then.

Teacher Fil was smiling at them.

- So, the Marquess already knows little Aria? She became a student here this week. She lives in a village near the Dwarfs Mountains.

- Yeah, I've met her some times. But I don't know why you are here, little Aria.

Aria, the Goddess of Creation was smiling, she seemed very happy.

- I want to learn how to read, write and do some maths! I never had an opportunity to learn! I also like to use that Gateway Magic. It's so pretty! And I have already a lot of friends here!

- Ok… Well, I hope you learn everything, then.

- Of course, Big Brother, I'm very smart! … knnnya… knnnya… knnnya…

Ryn pulled Seya's sleeve.

- Seya, that is…

- Yes, it really is, my little 'friend' Aria. Teacher Fil, how is everything going in this school?

With that emphasis on the word 'friend' and a serious look from Seya, everyone understood that they shouldn't reveal who Aria really was.

- Very good indeed, Milord. The students are well behaved and they are all eager to learn. They already know that they must learn so that they can teach their parents at home.

All of them like that. They like to teach their parents and pretend that they are teachers.

- That's good to hear. And your sister, how is she doing?

- My sister loves this. She really likes teaching, and having this job here, is like a dream to her.

- That's very good. By the way, any of you had any problem with moving here or dealing with the people?

- Nothing at all. With the Gateway Magic, it was really easy. From the Principal's office with or bags and trunks, we just crossed that Magic Door and we arrived at the Baron's house. He introduced us to his wife and he took us to our new house.

It's a very nice house, a little big for only two persons, but now we even have space to receive visitors. It's in our house that we are training the new teachers, and also knowing each other.

And the people here are really friendly! They don't waste time with strategies or schemes. They are very honest and straight forwarded.

- I think you will like living here. If not, you can use the Gateway and live in your old house, and just come here to work.

Teacher Fil shook her head with a smile.

- That won't be necessary. We both like living here. My sister also jokes that in here, we will easily find husbands for us both! Ahahahah!

- Ahahah! Yeah, that could happen! Well, we won't disturb your class any longer. I want to visit some other places with my friends here.

- Very well, Milord. It was a pleasure. Children, say goodbye to Marquess Seya.

- Goodbye, Marquess Seya!

- Goodbye, Big Brother!

- Goodbye, little ones. Learn well and teach everything to your parents. Goodbye to you too, little Aria. Behave yourself!

Aria was smiling while waving her little hand.

- I always behave myself! I'm a very good girl! … knnnya… knnnya… knnnya…

Oh, and I also like very much that these lands have my name! … knnnya… knnnya… knnnya…

Seya smiled, watching the little Goddess so pleased.

- Yeah, I knew you would like it!
