"There... That should be everything..." Audrey finished drawing a magic circle in the middle of a large forest. A gigantic tree was seen in the center of the forest that was somehow invisible from a far distance. Audrey, who was able to notice such illusion magic, immediately went for it.
Thus after she had finished drawing the magic circle, she stood up to wipe off her sweat for the time being. "This is quite a big deal..." Right before the giant tree that Audrey was facing, were roots that were somewhat developed into a form of a gateway. She went closer towards it and caressed the roots to see if magic still flows. "Alright, looks like I didn't make any mistake. It was a good idea to rush for Draxus's permission on this." It wasn't even an hour ever since she rushed out for her own vacation. She already made contact with Jay and told him that she'll contact him from time to time.
Her current location is in the western part of Preeliance. A mana-heavy atmosphere that is meant for arcana, mystical, and other kinds of high-grade magic. "Now, for the activation..." Audrey went back to the center of the magic circle that she drew. It was a 6 meter radius magic circle that is meant to activate certain things.
"Sir Harold did say that opening gateways of other worlds required a crazy amount of preparation... But according to him, other realms require less overall preparation in theory... Ugh, why did I forget to ask Draxus about that..." Audrey figured out that Draxus is needed to measure the theoretical lengths of worlds as only him and Serkyrio are capable of using such magic to their full extents, while Harold has the complete guide.
"Anyways, no use brooding over things, here goes nothing!" Audrey knelt down and poured a vast amount of mana into the circle. "The depth of my mana pool is close to Draxus's level right now, so I at least don't have to worry about my current limits to activate the gate since I regenerate faster than him." Audrey stood up after filling up the required amount of mana to activate the circle. "[I hereby connect the two realms]... [Unknown realm of the great magic forest], [A beauty of colored power that succeeds over all odds, I harness the power to activate the gateway to an alternate realm]." A dense mana fog enveloped her body as she closed her eyes to fully assimilate the form of magic that is moving around her. It was a powerful mana influx that would be dangerous to intake for a regular person due to overloading, but due to her mana pool, she was able to take everything in without a problem. A loud noise then began resonating in her ear, she wondered what the noise was about as she felt the dense fog slowly dissipate with her feel. The roots began to display a giant scenery that seems to be a giant plain open nature that is seemingly filled with purity of magic. "Seems like it worked..." Audrey smiled on her success as she kept her eye on the gateway. "Alright, just more minor preparations then!" Audrey kept the gate activated using a magic stabilizer device and started to pack her items into the interdimensional storage. "It's getting quite exciting!" She has been wishing for a long time to move around alone without any interference. Granted, it was permitted by Draxus himself, she had no complaints of the conditions.
After packing up her things in preparation for entering the open realm, she first checked the time and sent a message to Jay to let him know what she's up to. She didn't have a need to send Draxus a message since he's in his own vacation and should not be disturbed. "Alright! Let's get in!" Audrey walked through the gate and immediately felt something weird happen.
The feeling of passing through a gate was somewhat similar as passing through a bubble membrane that tries to resist. She got through without problems, and she was immediately greeted with a realm that's full of life.
Monsters that seem to be passive and was historically extinct in the base realm could be seen running around in the grass. Dragons flew sky high with each flap of their wings resonate a sound familiar to her knowledge. "Quite an amazing view..." She muttered to herself as she looked over various forests and plains. "It's too full of life..." Audrey realized that the realm may bee too full of life upon her first visit. "Then, how about I test things a bit..." Audrey channeled her mana to cop a feel on the atmospheric mana's density. She felt it greatly coursing around the entire atmosphere which indicated that the atmospheric mana here is much denser than the base world. "Something's coming..." While checking the surroundings with her magic, she immediately detected approaching presences. Audrey took that chance to immediately bring out her staff in preparation and stood firm to ensure that she doesn't get attacked all of a sudden. She activated a barrier to prevent any attacks and waited for the pursuers to arrive.
"Y-You there! Is the opening of the gate caused by yourself?" An elegant lady appeared before Audrey. She was somewhat surprised by a civilized arrival despite having a rushed behavior beforehand. Audrey got a good glimpse of the lady and quickly made an answer. "Yes, I activated the gate from the other side." The lady covered her mouth with her fingers in surprise. The person in front of her looked like a girl in her latter half of teens, thus she was having difficulty to express and process how the girl could manage such a massive feat. "I was able to detect a small connection of two realms on the other side of the gate, and thus I tried to activate it to fulfill my curiosity of another realm." "And for what kind of curiosity does our guest have to sate?" Audrey felt a little embarrassed she was returned with a big question. "I wanted to beat my teacher and leader at least once after my vacation." With a curious smile on her face, she was embarrassed as she understood her current situation.
