Chapter 2289 Arrangement
Klea and Ashaka returned to the Academy with the acolytes, while Thrax, Chumo, Tessa, and Damo made their way back to Terra City. They brought Naya along with them, ensuring she had a safe place to stay and recover from the recent traumatic events in Terra City.
Emery chose to stay behind to make arrangements for Earth's security.
He also wanted to evaluate Earth's four strongest candidates, ensuring they were ready for the trials ahead. Morgana was there to support him, and accompanying them was Shinta who had insisted on coming along to learn more about her father's origins and the place he called home.
With his growing mastery of the law of space, Emery was able to navigate vast distances with ease. A few spatial gates were all it took to transport him between the eastern mountain where his journey began, to the sands of Egypt, where Marc Anthony held his domain, and Rome, where Octavius ruled.
The young emperor needed time to establish his proxy, and while Emery was eager to continue, he noticed Shinta's fascination with the journey. Wanting to nurture her curiosity and bond with her through these shared experiences, Emery decided to allow Octavius the two days he requested to make his preparations. During that time, Brandt also departed, flying swiftly with the Valkyrie to the northern continent.
Emery was left with four women: his daughter Shinta, Morgana, the ever-curious Glita, and the Queen of Brittania, Gwenneth. Gwen, however, seemed particularly eager to speak with him, and her intent gaze hinted at a topic of great importance.
As the three wolf girls—Shinta, Morgana, and Glita—excitedly explored the city, marveling at its sights and sounds, Gwenneth approached Emery with a knowing smile. Her eyes sparkled with a mix of curiosity and amusement as she teased,
"So… a daughter… Hmm, that's a surprise."
The conversation that followed, however, turned from lighthearted to profound. What truly surprised Gwen was not the revelation of Shinta's existence, but rather the calm and composed manner in which Emery shared the tragic story that bound him, Shinta, and her mother. His voice carried the weight of the past—of loss, pain, and the resolve to protect what remained precious to him.
Gwen couldn't help but notice how much Emery had changed. Gone was the uncertain boy she once knew. In his place stood a man, hardened yet compassionate, who had embraced the role of a father.
"I am sure you will be a great father," Gwen said, her voice filled with genuine sincerity. ####
Upon their return to Britannia, Emery led the group to the Fey village nestled deep within the ancient forest. The village, alive with vibrant colors and the ethereal beauty of nature, welcomed them with warm greetings and a festive atmosphere. As they walked through the village, Gwen's curiosity got the better of her. "Are we going to stay and train here for the next two years?"
Emery shook his head slightly and replied, "Not quite."
Later that day, Emery guided them to one part of the forest. They arrived at a stone formation, a circle of weathered stones that radiated high spirit energy. This place held significant meaning for Emery—a place where he had once trained and where he had buried his old self.
The location was strategic, with the Fey village only a few miles away on one side and a Roman outpost on the other. As they approached the site, they were surprised to see several figures already there, waiting for them. Half a dozen magus stood in a respectful line, at the forefront was Yami, her eyes sharp as ever, alongside an older man whose face was etched with experience—Master Borin.

"It's all done," he said, nodding to Emery. "All as you requested…"
Emery nodded gratefully to Master Borin before focusing his spirit energy on the ancient stone formation. As his power surged through the runes carved into the stones, the air around them began to shimmer, and with a pulse of energy, a portal gate opened—a stable, swirling vortex that beckoned them forward.
One by one, they stepped through the portal, emerging into a landscape that mirrored the lush beauty of Britannia. The green grass swayed gently in the breeze, the air carried the familiar scent of earth and leaves, and in the distance, they could hear the soft murmur of a flowing river. But Emery wasn't done. Without a moment's hesitation, he began to work, his hands and mind in sync as he pulled out various materials from his storage ring. The others watched in awe as he constructed a structure with rapid efficiency—a castle, capable of housing dozens of people. Stone by stone, the fortress took shape.
Yet, the most time-consuming and energy-draining part of his endeavor was still to come. In the heart of the castle's grand hall, Emery focused his efforts on a particular object. With each careful placement of material and infusion of spirit energy, a massive, dark gate began to form. The gate loomed ominously, its surface pulsing with a foreboding energy that seemed to absorb the light around it.
Morgana's eyes widened in recognition, and she whispered "That's a Khaos Waypoint…"
Emery explained the reasoning behind this creation.
Ever since the construction of the official teleportation gate on Moonbase, Emery had been planning to move the artificial waypoints to Earth. The recent attack had only served to expedite this plan.
He had acquired one of the rare high-grade spatial stones, a treasure typically reserved for powerful factions or wealthy enterprises. These stones were often used to create artificial realms, hidden spaces where one could store treasures or establish secret bases. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Emery had sought out Master Borin, entrusting him with the task of modifying the waypoint construction to integrate this spatial stone. The result was the hidden realm they now stood in—a secret haven connected directly to the Khaos Waypoint.
The group was struck by the dense, spirit-laden atmosphere of the realm.
The spatial stone Emery had acquired had an extraordinary feature: It spanned a hundred miles and was filled with a substantial amount of spirit energy. Although this energy was not as intense as that found in the Magus Academy mountains—where it permeated the air with a nearly tangible presence—it was still a significant upgrade compared to the levels found on lower realm worlds like Earth.
This improvement created an environment that was far superior to anything on their home planet, making it an excellent choice for both secure refuge and rigorous training.
With the castle finished and the Khaos Waypoint operational, Emery had crafted more than just a sanctuary. He had established a training facility that would greatly enhance their development. The abundant spirit energy in the realm would boost their progress and provide a safe, isolated setting free from external dangers.
"All four of you will be training here from now on; I will occasionally come to guide you." Brandt and Octavius, recognizing the value of the new location, expressed no objections. Similarly, Glita and Gwenneth were reassured by the simple secret spell that allowed them to access and exit the realm with ease.
Gwen then suggested they name the place, and Emery came up with the name.
"We will call this place, Avalon."
