“Ummm… Apostle Juna, can you please warn me next time you decide to raise the city!?” Sir Harland’s face was pale he was not expecting the entire city to suddenly be raised into the air. 

    “Huh? I asked if you have everyone locked within the city. You said yes. I said okay, let’s do this. And you said yes.” Juna looked confused. She had communicated with him! He said yes, so she began the move. She had many things to do, and this was one that was going to cut into her time by a lot since it was not easy to move an entire city such as this to a new location. It took a lot of mana as well!

“I didn’t know you meant you would start, start! I didn’t even know you were going to move the city!” Sir Harland did not know what to say. He thought he would need to have every citizen move to the Holy Kingdom of Serenity. Not to actually move the city.

“Oh? Didn’t I mention that?” Juna tapped her chin with her finger and nodded to herself. She really did not mention it! “Hehe… Sorry!” 

“It’s fine. I will go make an announcement to the citizens, or they will think something else is wrong.” Sir Harland could only lower his head and leave the office while Juna pursed her lips and shrugged. She was just doing what needed to be done. For when she stripped three fat nobles, two men and a woman, and hung them outside their mansions upside down. Next to them was a notification of all the crimes they had committed. She had thought Desaray had scared them enough, but nobles were still nobles trying to hold on to what power they could.

The only good thing was that Rose knew what she was doing, so she knew with her gone, those nobles would still not be able to play any tricks. The freed slaves were also being moved to the other side of the kingdom so that they could live their lives peacefully and without fear of their old masters coming after them. The only slavery this kingdom allowed was that of punishment. If you were sentenced, you would work off your sins. Punishment was not a vacation, after all. That was just how it was. However, forced slavery outside the legal system was not allowed.

Outside Rain Ford City, large roots held up the city on all sides and were slowly moving towards the north. A  group of elves that were watching the city had all come out of hiding and stared in horror at the scene before them. “Just how powerful is the person who is doing this? To move an entire city….”

    “It’s better for them to move than for the person to set their sites on our city.” 

“We must report that we no longer need to go to war.” 

The entire group of elves was in agreement on this. And also felt relieved. If they had gone to war against a person who could lift a city, what would have happened to them? No matter how big the army was, that one person could have destroyed them instantly.

“Shouldn’t one of us follow the city and see where it is going? We have yet to explore beyond this point.”

“You can go. We will report back. Just remember, don’t get too close.”

“Wait, I didn’t mean me!” Although the elf did not want to go himself, it seemed it was already too late. His companions had already disappeared. “Damn it!” With no other choice, he slowly gave chase after the moving city. Well… more like he began walking after it….

“I’m back! And I brought a new friend.” Desaray announced as she got home.

“Mama!” Lily came flying through the door and pounced into the air. The sudden appearance of a white streak caused Cinder to flinch and go on guard, but when she saw the small fox girl hugging Desaray, she suddenly fell into a daze. For some reason, she was being hypnotized by the white fluff that was wagging back and forth.

Desaray looked at Cinder and chuckled. “In due time she might let you touch her tail but until she gets used to you don’t try.” 

“Ah! I-I won’t I don’t want to be kicked out.” This was Cinder’s biggest fear at this time. She did not want to lose her new home.

“I won’t kick you out unless you try to harm people for no reason. I am not saying you can not protect yourself; by all means, if you are being threatened, protect yourself. But just do not harm people just because.”  Desaray replied. She could understand Cinder’s fear, but she was not so cold-hearted to kick her out for any old reason.

“Princess, don’t run off like that!” Yi Ling ran into the room. When she saw Desaray her eyes lit up. “Oh! Desa! You are back.”

“Hey Ling. Sorry, it took a little longer than expected. This here is Cinder. Cinder, this is Yi Ling. My friend and the one I was hoping you could help with fire magic.” Desaray introduced the two girls.

“He-Hello.” Cinder was very nervous. She lowered her head and began fidgeting. She was not used to speaking to people in the first place, but here she was being introduced to so many people at once.

“Hello! I’m Yi Ling. Umm… Are you okay?” Yi Ling could see that Cinder was nervous and was wondering if something was wrong.

    “Don’t mind her. She is not good around people. But once she warms up to you, she will be fine.”
