"Hold up!" Erend stretched his arms forward. "Let's start slowly, alright?"
Aurdis sighed with a helpless smile. "Alright. I know this is going to sound difficult. Even the idea of going around the world sounds like trouble to us Elves. We've never even actually gone around our world."
"What? Isn't the Elf race the race with the most powerful Magic abilities in that world?" Adrien asked, looking curious and a little surprised by that fact.
Billy also stared at Audisd and waited for her explanation. But Erend wasn't too surprised by that fact because he already knew about that other world called Eternal Earth. Erend even thought that he knew more than Aurdis, Saeldir, or Aerchon.
Even though Erend tried to hide that he already knew a lot, his facial expressions did not escape Aerchon's attention, who had been staring at them from the corner. Aerchon frowned seeing Erend's flat face which looked completely different from Billy and Adrien's.
Aerchon's thoughts about Erend now became even higher when he saw the look on his face. Aerchon was sure that Erend did know more than he was saying.
"Yeah, we do have more Magic abilities. But that doesn't make us the only beings that rule that world. You've seen about the Daemons of Calamity, and the Ogres Kingdom, right?" Aurdis said.
Billy and Adrien nodded. Arty, who was hearing this for the first time, perked up her ears, her eyes stared with great curiosity.
"They are the creatures that are closest to our kingdom, that's why they often wage war with us. However, there are still many other civilizations and powers that exist in other parts of our world."
Erend refrained from saying that there were also several human civilizations there. And some humans also had astonishing Magic power like the Dark Mage that had given him a hard time.
Billy and Adrien still didn't know much and they wanted to ask some more questions. But Adrien knew that now there were more important things for them to do and they couldn't afford to waste time on them.
"Let's talk about that later," Adrien said. "We have to focus on the problems we are currently experiencing."
"Right," Aurdis said, nodding. "Where do you want to start?"
"Uhh, let's talk about that... Ade... what?" Adrien asked, with a confused look.
"Adaeram. That is a specific spot or location within this world that possesses concentrated or notable levels of power. It is a place where Magic energy converges, a site of spiritual significance, or a focal point for the forces of nature."
Adrien, Billy, and Erend nodded in understanding. Aurdis' explanation was quite straightforward to understand.
"Alright. How do we find it?" Adrien asked.
"First, we need a map. This might be difficult but we need a very large map. To be precise, a map that contains all the places in this world in great detail."
Adrien, Billy, and Erend were silent for a few moments. But then they looked at each other and nodded.
"I think we can get to that," Adrien said.
"You guys can?" Aerchon frowned in surprise.
"They have something almost like Magic, Aerchon. They call it technology," Saeldir said.
Aerchon still didn't seem to understand what Saeldir was saying. However, he chose not to continue his question.
"So you can get the map? That's the first problem solved, then. After you get the map, we will look for where the Adaeram is," Aurdis said.
Adrien nodded. "We can get a complete map at military headquarters. How about tomorrow?"
"Sounds good," Aurdis said. "For now, is there anything else you want to do?"
The three of them both answered that they had nothing else to do and just wanted to rest.
"For the time being, my warriors will keep the city safe. We will slay monsters and deal with the humans who try to cause trouble," Aerchon said. After that, he ordered his five warriors and they immediately left.
The meeting that night ended. Adrien, Aurdis, and Aerchon returned to their worlds while Adrien, Billy, Arty, and Erend returned to their respective homes. Aurdis said that they were
The next day Adrien, Billy, Arty, and Erend came to the former dojo building when the sun had not even risen. The sky of the city of Ascan was still dark, however, the fire that was raging in the high-rise building lit up the city with an orange light accompanied by black smoke.
Several ambulances and police cars were also still passing by. Most likely those on duty did not have the opportunity to sleep last night.
Erend gritted his teeth while driving the car. He knew that not only did all of this happen because of Magic awakening, but also because beings from the Chaos Realm had also entered this world and caused trouble.
They reached the building and immediately went inside. Aerchon, Aurdis, and Saeldir were waiting inside.
Aerchon's five Elf personal warriors were already there, their faces looking uneasy and exhausted. Something must have happened while they were doing their task last night.
"What happened to your warriors?" Erend immediately asked Aerchon.
Aerchon's expression was troubled. "There are other beings who seem to be making this Magic awakening worse. I'm sure you already know about this."
Erend sighed. "Yeah, I already know."
Erend then explained to Arty, Billy, and Adrien about the voices he heard from people at the hospital and from the monster he killed yesterday.
Aerchon, Saeldir, and Aurdis' faces immediately turned grave.
"We have very few records about them. Sorry, Erend. I don't think we can help you much about that," Aurdis said with a disappointed look.
"You guys have done a lot for us. Let's focus on that Adaeram first. I will think of a way to deal with those intruders from the Chaos Realm," Erend replied.
They could see for a moment after saying that, Erend clenched his jaw. He looked at the other side with fury evident in his eyes, as if he wanted to destroy all the beings from the Chaos Realm right now.
"You're right," Aurdis said. "Now, we will make your clones. After the three of you get the map from the military base, these clones will immediately replace you.
"Does Arty also have to go on this mission?" Erend asked.
"I want to help," Arty said firmly before Aurdis finished answering. "I can't just sit idly by after seeing everything that's happened."
Aurdis smiled. And Erend didn't even try to stop his sister because he knew Arty could be very stubborn.
So, they proceeded to create clones. After that Adrien, Erend, and Billy went to the military base while Arty went to her school.
It's not difficult for Adrien, Erend, and Billy to get a very detailed map of the military base. They were three people who had enough reputation to access military data about maps around the world.
The folder contains important places, power sources, military bases, etc. The map even contains places that shouldn't be detected by satellite because they are secret experiment places or spy interrogation places, places like that.
After Erend contacted Aurdis that they had obtained the map, they immediately exchanged with the clones that had been created several hours before. Afterward, they regrouped at the former dojo building.
"We'll start now. Aerchon's presence here reduces our burden considerably," Aurdis said, smiling at Erend as if trying to show that his brother was indeed quite helpful.
Erend just nodded, but he was still not too convinced.
Saeldir took some books from his cloth bag. He opened it and said. "You can place a marker on that map based on the description I mentioned."
Billy got into action and started opening the folder from his laptop. "I'm ready."
Aerchon and Aurdis walked behind him to take a look at the map so they could help find a place that matched Saeldir's description.
"Find a place that looks like sacred grounds. A temple, an old mountain range, or places that have a history that you know," Saeldir said.
"I know a few places in this country," Billy said, moving the map. Moments later he found her. "There it is."
Erend and Adrien nodded approvingly. They know about the place. It is a historical site where there are several large rocks arranged in such a way as to form a circle. Based on the information they knew, that place was already thousands of years old.
Billy zooms into that place, letting Aerchon and Aurdis see it.
"It looks like Adaeram," Aerchon said. Aurdis nodded in agreement.
So Billy put a marker on that spot. They continued doing the same thing for several hours; look for places that have the potential to become Adaeram - points of power - then place markers.
After several hours, they finally finished. But they can't feel relieved yet because this is just the beginning of everything. They still have to visit those places to place the artifacts.
"So uhh... how are we going to visit these places?" he asked.
"I have a way," Erend provided an answer he had thought of.
