Besides spending time with his family alastair knew that this world didn't have much left for him anymore so he started creating a spell to travel to other worlds. alastair also created a way for mermaids an humans to live together without needing to worry about that curse of mermaids turning into sea foam if they ever leave the sea for the land. the solution to this was a small stone bead that alastair created with various sea related materials. this bead made it possible for mermaids to go on land and return back to the sea safely which caused a mass of mermaids entering the continent to explore.
Alastairs son seht was playing with his two sisters irene and opal in a play pen nearby under the watchful eyes of their mothers who were relaxing around a table playing a card game. suddenly an explosion rocked the area frightening the children and startling the women who drop their cards and stand up with a jolt. nearby a door opens up and a huge amount of smoke billows out followed by alastair who left the doorway coughing. after catching his breath alastair explained that he had finally managed to touch another world but that he got unlucky and it was at an erupting volcano.
The girls all look excited at this news since with the world at peace they had begun to grow bored from the lack of excitement in their lives. alastair and the girls all agreed that even if alastair creates a safe way to travel to other worlds that they would wait until the kids grew up before they left. it took alastair another year to work out the kinks in the spell he created and another after that to create a spell that gave them the ability to rapidly learn new languages.
This is the most alastair could realistically prepare for without knowing what world he was going to. this year rab had passed peacefully in his sleep with a small smile on his face the entire world went into a period of mourning as one of its hero's had left. the party had all come to the funeral as well as king carnelian , hendrick and sylvando's father sir rodrigo as well as several other people alastair was unfamiliar with. rab was buried next to alastairs parents in the rebuilt dundrasil on a day that had heavy rain because of alastairs sadness effecting the weather.
Time flowed by after that with erik and the twins having children of their own while sylvando made up with his father. alastair and the girls taught their children to the best of their abilities for the roles that awaited them. opal was taught how to rule a kingdom since king carnelian was getting on in age and someone was needed to replace him. seht was taught how to lead the merfolk by his mother while alastair taught him water based magic that he was a prodigy at.
Irene was taught how to rule by alastair personally since she was the princess of dundrasil and would be taking his place as ruler when he left. when the kids reached the age of eighteen it was announced to the world that alastair and his wives were leaving to travel the worlds and that the three young adults would be taking the reigns of the three kingdoms. this news surprised the world who were worried that they would be unsafe with the loss of the luminary. alastair calmed these voices when he announce him returning the power of the luminary to the world tree so it would be available even without him.
The day when they would leave soon arrived and a small group of people were gathered to see them off. these were the remaining members of the party the three kids as well as king carnelian and hendrick. the four were wished well on their adventures before alastair opened a huge portal twelve feet tall and black as the void it goes through. with a final good bye the four step into the portal leaving erdrea behind. the trip through the portal felt like someone pressing in on you from each side with different levels of force every second.
The four fell out of the other side of the portal after what felt like five minutes with a popping sound followed by a splash as they landed in water. none of them panicked when they landed in the water since they had been quite used to being underwater. the four reached the surface of the water quickly were alastair checked the system only to find that the cosmic guide was unlocked and had two entries. the first was for erdrea which they had just left while the second made alastairs eyes widen. one piece.
