The moon rose over a dark sky. Arthur remained silent as he watched the students slowly erge one by one from the crystalline waters. They all had relaxed expressions, noticeably lighter skin, and bright eyes. A mystical aura seed to envelop their bodies.
They all smiled brightly; it seed they had thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
"I feel as light as a feather! Even my skin feels much softer than before," said Daniela with a smile. Like the others, she wore a T-shirt and shorts—an entry condition imposed by the rmaid for so reason. Daniela's wet shirt clung to her skin, accentuating her curves and giving her a sensual and attractive look.
"Breathing underwater is definitely a crazy thing," Leslie said, gazing at the calm, crystalline waters beneath her. She fell into thought for a mont and looked at her hands. "What is this water?" she asked, frowning and taking a deep breath. "Nothing abnormal," she added with a sigh.
Evelyn also wore a soft smile.
"I felt really good," she nodded to herself. Her mind had been completely at peace in that place, as if she were listening to a lullaby. Leaving the warm waters made her feel a little down.
Arthur observed silently, enjoying the view. They really did look incredibly attractive. But now, curiosity was getting the better of him.
"How do you feel?" he asked any of the three.
"It's truly miraculous. The mont you start ditating beneath the lagoon and connect with your soul, you can see how the water enters directly into it. The water turns into a deep navy blue and gently wraps around the soul, generating tiny specks of light that enter you while you hear a small symphony. I don't know how it works, but it's very mystical!" Daniela's eyes sparkled as she tried to describe what she had felt inside the lake.
"It also worked like so kind of elixir for the skin, especially for won. The skin becos softer and more radiant," added Leslie with a satisfied smile.
"Very good," Evelyn also nodded in agreent.
"All gathered!" the professor's soft voice reached everyone, carrying a chill that made the students shiver slightly. They ford a circle around her as she snapped her fingers to get their attention. "We will spend the night in this place, for now."
The crystalline waters stirred, and the rmaid erged. With an adorable cry, she raised her hands. The waters beca turbulent, and from them surfaced a massive fish with shining silver scales. Once it hit the ground, the fish flailed desperately, trying to return to the water—until an ice spike pierced its head, leaving it completely still after a brief shudder.
"This is a gift from Miss Shyp," said the professor.
The beautiful rmaid smiled.
"Bon appétit!" she said before disappearing back into the water.
The fish had the sa glow as the students, but its shine was much denser and more concentrated. It asured almost five ters long and three ters thick—huge, more than enough for everyone.
Evelyn held a finger to her lips as she stared at the fish, as if she might devour it at any mont.
The night was very pleasant. Everyone gathered around a large bonfire while the fish floated in the air, cooking slowly over the flas. The students laughed, talked, and shared their experiences of ditating underwater. The atmosphere was warm and joyful amid the autumn forest.

The landscape changed completely. They now found themselves in a strange blend of the three bios they had previously crossed. Each coexisted in delicate balance without affecting the others—a breathtaking sight that left them speechless.
The depth of the Beastly Glades was sothing else, as if it were an entirely different world. Above, two suns lit the sky—one smaller than the other. Though they were sowhat close together, the temperature remained perfectly stable—not too hot, not too cold. What made the Beastly Glades truly impressive were the massive chunks of land floating in the brilliant blue sky. Each one stretched more than five kiloters across, so stacked above others. It was a magnificent sight.
"Welco!"
As we ventured deeper into the Beastly Glades, we encountered a bear. It was small—no taller than a ter—with intelligent eyes, sitting and watching us with curiosity. It was the smallest creature we had seen so far, and it gave off the air of being just a child. The little bear stood up, and its eyes sparkled.
"The Queen has been expecting you! Please, follow !" the small bear said, nodding its head. Its brown fur shimred as it began walking ahead of us.
"He's so adorable," said Daniela sweetly, her eyes shining as she looked at the little bear. "His fur looks so soft."
Arthur glanced around. He could feel many eyes on them. Lifting his head, he spotted a squirrel with puffed cheeks. He also sensed powerful presences hiding nearby... but none of them approached—they simply watched.
"Don't be nervous, they're just curious. But don't attempt to manipulate mana—they'll take it as an attack," the professor's calm voice helped settle the anxious students. The weight of so many stares, especially from creatures of high blood and great power, was not sothing easily ignored.
After walking down what seed like a corridor ford by massive crystal-like trees, the little bear lifted a paw and touched a stone in front of him. It glowed and split in two, revealing a vast cave adorned with mana crystals in every color imaginable. At its center, water fell from above in a perfectly straight stream.
"We need to use the dinsional portal to reach the Queen! Co on, it's going to be so much fun!" the little bear exclaid with a child's excitent as he ran toward the water.
Walking behind the bear, they passed through the thin sheet of water and ca to a stop atop a large, gleaming black crystal. The crystal was etched with strange engravings, surrounded by halos of light emanating from the nearby mana crystals. As the engravings began to glow even brighter, the black stone slowly shifted colors, dividing into various shimring tones. The platform trembled slightly before lifting into the air.
"It's ready," the little bear nodded. "You can step in now!"
