Chapter 178: Hello, Old Friend
☆☆☆
The siblings appeared at the Border between Realms, this was Alaric and Celeste’s first ti so they just observed the scene with curious eyes, eyeing the phenonal environnt.
"Haven’t been here before, so this is what the Border looks like" Celeste said, her eyes on the thin white line in between heaven and earth.
"I intended for my portal to take us directly to the Spirit Forest," Nicklaus said.
"It didn’t work, did it?" Alaric asked, knowing the answer already.
"No... I knew it would take us here" Nicklaus said before walking ahead, they followed behind.
They got closer to a pavilion, beneath a tree, the land on which the pavilion was on... was in a circle format and the grasses were the greenest of them all, at the edge of the land was a stream with lotus flowers on them, it was a wondrous sight.
And then Handler, an ancient being tasked with the duty of guiding anyone through the border to whatever destination they wanted to be, although so magical beings possess abilities to portal to other Realms, so Realms were not able to be located except they use the border. An elderly man with a long beard and hair, milky white, his clothes white too, and jewelry graced his neck, helping himself to the tea and he spotted the company coming towards them.
"My my this must be one hell of a day," he said watching the three of them pass through the bridge and walk into the pavilion.
"Hello, old friend," Nicklaus said.
The Handler paused for a minute before taking in Nicklaus’ looks. "This is truly one hell of a day... if it isn’t the great Magnus himself" he mused, sipping his tea. "How well you have grown"
"And you’re the sa Handler"
"Hmph! What brings you here Magnus, you’re powerful enough to reach any destination you so please" he states, and then his gaze fell on the other two behind him, seeing their features he could tell they were siblings.
Nicklaus took a seat before him, eyeing the Shogi Board, a faint smile crossed his lips as he rembered their first encounter.

"What do you want to obtain?" The Handler asked young Nicklaus.
"Power" the thunder stroke clamorous at his answer. The Handler’s eyes narrowed at his words.
"Power so that I may take my people to a world where we do not feel indifferent, we deserve to have a Realm and a place where we are just us... I feel the circle of a Vampire is not complete not until we have obtained infinity, I choose to seek that for not just
but my people’’
"I see"
"Tell
Handler will you take
to where I have requested... for I believe the answers I need and the power I wish to obtain are within that library"
"You strongly believe you will find such answers there?"
"Yes for a sprite have enlightened
of that path that I must follow, tell ... who is one who does not follow his fate"
"What’s your na, boy?"
"Magnus
