We were slowly getting uae to the school and its peculiarities quickly my favorite class time was of coarse independent study time. Which I spent mostly learning more advanced spells and how to connect to portals. I figured if I could create portals in this world I should be able to connect to my own.
Sadly so far I was to low in my magic power availability to cast a portal, mostly wizards would come together and loop their magic into a huge rune creating a stable and permanent position that could connect into all previously made portals but that process took a whole continent treasury plus some to create currently there existed only three portals on this planet.
One to this school which only allowed those with certain positions to borrow Thoth god power to transfer people. So in truth only Thoth had the power to activate the portal. The second portal went to the realm of the gods and one had to be a god to enter even their vast power was tested to do so.
The third and last portal belongs to Anubus he used it to curry the dead to judgement and only he could bring in or out any souls. However once judged the soul could not return unless reincarnated or with the God intervention be reborn with special power that allowed balance.
This is when a individual civilian could be granted or gain great strentgh, intelligence and magic. These gift were randomly given out sparingly to create a world that was ever changing and semi unpredictable. Some went to learn more other became bandits, hero's and villains existed here due to this.
So somehow my soul had been reincarnated in this dimension and had been blessed by a god with magic power. Being born an elf didn't appearently mean I had been blessed by my god Geb. But my magic did indeed reflect many of his and his wifes abilities however Thoth books said Many were given small gift from several gods and so one needed to try all the magic.
Since portal magic was only possible through a use of runes stones and borrowed power. I was sure that by making a small portal, by mixing my magic with thought of my cell phone would allow me to focus in on my past world and at least let me see it. Let me connect to a unknown dimension for them but not to me.
How could I waste so much time on this one dream when a whole new world was before me, one may ask but for me it was my whole world at one time. I guess in a way that I was hiding away from the realities of this world that was so different. What I had played on my phone was reality here with greater powers that could destroy and create as they pleased.
This world were there was pregidious and creality, where class systems were real and citizens died by their gods whelm. Where in some continents starvation, sickness and even jealousy would end ones life quickly or slowly, painfully an to be reborn most likely to play a piece on the gods board again.
I use to complain about my food, about cleaning and going to school but we had food, a house, possessions hell even a toilet. Now I bless whoever gave me magic because without it I would have been force into a marriage, feeding my babies if I was gifted one as I worked the land preying daily for our god to help us to have a good harvest.
Today finally the mechanical museum would be open for us newcomers to visit I had talked Ivy, Bug and Oval to come as well. I had described in many drawn pictures to them of what to look for, not just of my phone but clothing and backpack as well. Weirdly they keep asking more about my clothing and backpack then my precious phone. Bunches brats to not understand its exstream importance.
So off we went to see something new, Bug wanted to go into this field of learning and hopefully next year he would. Oval who wanted to be a rune and gem crafter went to observe what kinds of metals, gems and runes they used. Ivy came to look, play and steal if she could, she hoped that I would pick what was worth stealing. Cause basically pixies just stole things for fun mostly just moving and hidden things.
When we entered it became apparent that this was a multiday project the floor was huge and every corner held surprises. In addition, there was 28 floors to explore and discover. Sigh, I just felt my stuff was here somewhere, my phone, my backpack all of it I felt it had come through when I did. We split up into different rows,to explore and Ivy flew off to do what pixies do.
Our time was,up when Ivy fluttered up in great excitement, saying she had saw one of my things. I signaled her to be quiet and we would talk more at home. Even though we had only been living here for a month some things had been modified in our cabin. Mainly to allow for our need for secrecy and to let us also have a,common room for our meetings.
First with the help of some growing trees, I had extended our cabin to be ten feet wider and would slowly continue to expand, then I created a small screen near our bedding areas to give us more privacy. Bug showed off some of his magic by sound prodding with the help of Oval.
Oval drew a rune and Bug caused a chunk of some kind of stone to thin and plastered the whole place. We could hear out but none could see or hear anything happening inside. Our secrecy and friendship had grown by leaps and bounds and now we had extended that secretly to help others as much as possible.
Once home we resealed the cabin, we sat to listen to what Ivy had found in the museum and what she had been so excited about. I had to show her the pictures once again for her to be able to calm down. She immediately flew to the picture of my backpack and said she had saw it on the 22 floor of the,museum in the unidentifiable item section.
My plan was looking up now we only had to wait till she could break in or another month when it opened again. Finally we decided our safest option was to let Ivy explore and then plan to extract my things at next month's opening.
