Reaching the ground floor of the mansion, Reve saw the figure of Circe waiting for him beside the door.

"I thought you would be sleeping," said Reve as he dropped his bags and faced her.

She replied to him with a yawn, "Well, I can't send off my disciple without saying my farewell. Also, the thing you requested is ready."

Circe dug into her subspace and brought out an emerald necklace with a spiral design carved on it. The necklace gave a mixed feeling to the normal eye. On one side, it could be argued that it was valuable to the quality of the crystal itself. On the other side, the crystal was simply tied to a rope and made into a necklace. It gave the feeling of poor craftsmanship. 

However, to Reve, it was better this way. In fact, he could feel the deep history of the necklace. He had no idea what it was but from the ancient designs of the necklace, it was definitely antiquity.

Circe grabbed both ends of the necklace and wore it around his neck, "It was an item of my dearest friend. A symbol of

our close relationship. Now, I pass it on to another of my loved ones. Treasure it well."

A stuffy well was stuck in Reve's throat but he still managed to say, "Yes, I will."

"The necklace has a subspace which would help you in your journey," informed Circe.

Hearing this, Reve beamed.

A subspace!

It was just what he needed. With one, he wouldn't need to worry about carrying too much. Alas, he had already packed up. He couldn't exactly go back up to pack a few more things.

A subspace was an old invention of mages. It belonged to only the strongest of mages. There were two types of subspace; a natural subspace and a pocket space. The former was usually born in a natural oddity while the latter was artificially created by a mage.

Circe normally used pocket spaces. However, most of Arcadia were much familiar with natural subspaces since all they had to do was find the special gems and have a mage reveal the subspace hidden in it.

Reve politely thanked Circe and waited for her to bring another object from her pocket.

This time, it was a black stone that gleamed every time the ray of light touched it.

Reve had no idea what the stone could be.

"I won't say anything, just check it out when you are alone. Make sure to keep the stone close to you. I will send for Fye to retrieve it when you settle down in Narva," said Circe.

That was all she had to say to the stone. However, Reve already had an inkling of what it was. Excitement bubbled in him as he couldn't wait to check the contents of the stone.

Following what he knew, Reve channeled magi into the emerald necklace. He focused his thoughts on the stone.

Suddenly, the stone miraculously disappeared from existence. However, Reve knew that it was simply transferred into the necklace's subspace.

'This is even better. There is no spatial portal or whirlpool. Very subtle!!' observed Reve.

It was to be expected from a subspace opened by Circe. Heck, he could even use it in public and no one would notice.

Reve took another look at Circe, "This is it, it seems."

"Yes."

"What plans do you have after I'm gone?"

"Now that I have gotten rid of you, I will be able to sleep as long as I want. Little thing, shoo," yawned Circe.

All that excited in her head was the joys of sleep that would sleep overcome her. 

Nevertheless, she bent her body and planted a kiss on Reve's forehead, "Be safe and always send letters."

"Yes."

"You are on your own now. Shoo!"

Her demonic book appeared out of nowhere and blasted Reve, along with his bag, out of the mansion. 

After dusting away the dirt from his clothes, Reve didn't curse at his teacher and simply picked up his bag. He turned around and joined the street of Vagoroth. 

He was not going to look back!

He will be back before Circe even knew it!

......

After tens of minutes, Reve appeared at the large hall of the Vagoroth Council.

Waiting at the gates were two carriages. Myniene of the White Sky could be found beside one of them as she conversed with some other demihumans.

They all wore outfits that identified them as the council members of Vagoroth. 

As soon as Myniene saw Reve, she sent off her fellow members and greeted Reve, "Good day, Are you ready?"

"Yes. I have packed my things and said my farewells," said Reve.

Hearing this, Myniene smiled and led him into the carriage. She signaled the driver of the carriage, who quickly commanded the horses to move.

Inside the carriage, it was only Reve and Myniene. An unsettling silence ensued between both.

Meanwhile, Reve noticed that the sense of gravity around him had lessened.

He wondered, 'Is the carriage flying?'

Myniene spoke to him, "I see you noticed it. Your senses are sharp"

"Is the carriage flying?" asked Reve.

"Yes. You probably didn't notice but the horses used for the carriage were the winged horses. Their ability to fly would enable us to get to Kimpar Island faster than normal."

"Oh, I understand," muttered Reve.

He stopped talking and instead focused on the feeling of being suspended in the air despite the fact that he was actually not the one flying but the carriage.

"This is interesting. I had assumed you are one for the talks. Yet, you seem like you like to keep to yourself," conversed Myniene.

Reve was caught off-guard by her remark, "Eh--" 

Was she saying that he was an introvert?

Xoris' bottom! He was the farthest from that. He was not like Circe who liked being indoors. He could be fun if he wanted to.

"That is not true. I'm just tired," Reve used a perfect excuse.

"Oh, I see. Then keep thinking," smiled Myniene.

Somehow, her smile was hurting him. He felt like she was toying with him. So, he released a low harrumph and closed his eyes.

He would not lower himself to her level!
