ELECTUS 23 The Underground Volcano

Eric replies out of great curiosity

"How do you think the source just disappeared like that. Does it fade out? Does it age? A source that an entire continent greatly relies too, couldn't just disappear."

With a slight rough tone Commander Alia replies with

"I know about the teleportation source or any source in particular way less then you doo. As the Electus you should be able to find more information about it then me."

Mogranius jumps in the conversation and says

"Do teleportation spells have time travel included? Because i literally teleported two hundred years in the future."

Commander Alia replies with

"If you teleported here at the exact minutes where the entire continent of Kastaria got destroyed, it might explain how you got here.

Many other Wizards and Witches tried to teleport that day but it just led to the spells not working or them teleporting through random places through time."

Mogranius replies with

"Well it isn't a vacation to live in this h.e.l.lhole of a timezone but part by part it is getting better.

I got to meet you."

Commander Alia actually liked what Mogranius just said. Even though it was like a bit of a flirt.

She just looked at the ground and her face got red.

After she replies with

"This isn't right old man. I'm only three hundred years old. You look older."

Smoke came out of Mograniuses ears as he yelled

"I'm only fifty eight years old. How can you be three hundred years old. I barely met anyone who made it past through their 80's.

And why didn't i ever hear about the Kastarian race before?"

Commander Alia replies with a calm tone

"Well a Kastarian's average life span is seven hundred years.

And you never heard about us because we chose so. Our continent was invisible to any other race. And there was peace. Here i see anything but peace."

Mogranius who seemed to have calmed down again, says

"Seven hundred years. How many men did you meet that were worth your time?"

Commander Alia looks at Mograniuses eyes and says

"One".

Right after Commander Alia finished that small sentence, they reached their destination.

The great underground town of Lan Zhe.

A huge hole was in the middle, likely half a mile wide. Like an actual Volcano sunk down underground and its form remained unchanged.

At the sides of the volcano, hundreds upon hundreds of tunnels leading to likely bigger caves where to be seen. All of these people, living together as one.

And six foot wide walkways were to be seen, spiraling down the volcano. So its people could easily walk where they pleased.

At the very bottom, lava was of course to be seen. Half a mile of boiling hot Lava. Who knows how deep that lava pool goes.

Truly an amazing and slightly terrifying sight to see.

The lava is so boiling hot that Eric and Mogranius are able to feel it even though they are half a mile away from it.

Eric speaks out with a tear on his eye(rather funny to watch)

"I've never seen something so terrifyingly beautiful.

I want to jump in but i'm afraid that i would turn to a fish stick. And i hate fish sticks."

Commander Alia says

"Amazing isn't it. But we shall not go all the way down.

The higher we stay, the less the chance for you to get boiled alive.

The bottom is indeed very hot and only the Grand Masters can handle it."

Mogranius replies with a curious tone

"Grand Master you say? So their levels of ability can be primarily measured by literally how much heat they can handle?"

Alia replies with a calm voice. Likely a bit tired from having to explain everything to practical strangers.

"Yes yes. It is fairly based on how much they can handle heat. But everything here is balanced. There is another reason why the grandmasters are at the bottom apart from showing off their rough skin."

Eric speaks out with curiosity on his tone

"another reason you say? Well do tell. I never enjoyed learning this much."

Mogranius follows in with a mocking manner

"Believe me he is speaking the truth."

On her last nerve Commander Alia yells out

"SILENCE"

After that she calms down again way to fast and says

"Let's continue.

See the Grand Masters are like the source of lava powers. But not quite.

In case of attackers, Grand Masters provide the troops with lava enough for hundreds of the Calidum Lutum to control. Even though there are only five Grand Masters."

Mogranius speaks out with amazement on his tone

"Only five Grand Masters capable to provide enough lava for hundreds of people to control. Astonis.h.i.+ng."

Eric follows in and says

"For sure. One of those Grand Masters should mentour me when it comes to lava controlling.

But do the Grand Masters control the lava upwards straight from the Volcano or do they blast it out of their body like Fire Blasters do?"

Commander Alia replies with

"They are actually able to do both. Making them a true force to be reckoned with.

No Lava Controller could face any of them one on one and win. Rather impossible."

Mogranius speaks out again with yet another question

"So the Grand Masters are like the source of Power. What do the Witches and Wizards in other levels doo?"

Commander alia replies with

"As i said. Everything here is balanced.

The Grand Masters are the source of Lava.

The Masters on the other hand are able to pick up all of that terrifying amount of lava and direct it. They seperate it in tens of pieces and direct it to the experts."

Eric follows through and says

"The Grand Masters seem to provide all the lava but the Masters seem to hold greater responsibility. Or am i wrong?"
