"Where do we start?" Uni wasn't sure what to expect by accepting this deal, or if this girl is even trust worthy. But he figured that in life you need at least a bit of strength to defend yourself. Relying on others won't get you far, and Uni knew that so he's not letting this opportunity pass by.
The floating girl, getting visibly excited at his answer, violently flew around the room. "Since you accept, we can start right away!" Surprised by the eagerness, Uni didn't think they would start so soon.
"Uhm, ok what's first?"
"First, we have to get of here, let's go." The floating girl said confusing Uni. "Where are we goi-ARRGHHH." The girl suddenly gripped Uni's head and he began to experience an excruciating headache. He felt as if his head was going to explode. He tried to get the girl's hands off of him, but it was like her hands were stuck to Uni.
"I'm sorry… for now this is the only way I could get you here." Finally with the pain subsiding, opening his eyes Uni was completely bewildered by the new location.
"Where the hell are we? This looks like something straight out of a fever dream." Taking in the environment, Uni saw all sorts of strange things in the area, but the main thing that got his attention was how everything was so colorful. It was as if someone spilt a pastel everywhere. He also wondered how big the place was as well, when he stood, he thought it felt similar to standing on Earth.
Looking around some more, Uni also noticed that the girl wasn't floating anymore and had legs now. Too many questions entered his brain, and the girl seemed to have picked up on that.
"I know you have questions, like what is this place and why do I have legs now so I'll give you some context." Uni stared in shock and slight fear because this is the second time she's done this.
"To answer the first question, this place is what I like to call the sphere. This is something that comes from the system and it's technically yours but I use it sometimes."
"Ok I got that, but that leads me to ask something else. If this place is mine, how can I access it?"
"Well... you don't really have to worry about that yet, that's too advanced for you at the moment. One step at a time. Now for your other question, I couldn't answer you. I'm not sure why I have legs either, all I know is that I get them whenever I'm the sphere."
"Any more questions before we start?" She said in a slightly impatient tone. "Last thing, I can't work with someone whose name is a mystery to me."
"I'm glad you asked Uni, my name is Quin, nice to meet you." She said, reaching in for a handshake. Smiling, Uni also reached out his hand. "Nice to meet you as well."

Silence filled the atmosphere as three people walked through the forest. The sun was setting and the trees were extremely vast and majestic, perfect for a picnic... but a these three were here with a goal.
"So, how much longer until we arrive? It's been at least an hour and a half of walking, is this supposed base real? Don't you agree Nora?" Rick said in whinny tone.
Nora, fed-up with him she almost didn't even answer. "Could you shut up? You've been complaining this whole time. And don't lump me in with your impudence. Now quiet!"
"But what if that strong girl wakes up again?" Nora glanced over at Rick again and felt disgusted that their were related. "How do you act like this at your age, and your size. It's embarrassing it be associated with you in any capacity." After receiving such scornful remarks Rick instantly silenced in shame.
Dagon didn't give a glance to neither of them as If they weren't there. His mind was fixated on The Apple Of Morana, and how the little girl was able to control it so well.
^Although she may be have ice petals, doesn't mean she should be able to control it with such proficiency. Even for me it gets mildly difficult to handle.^
This thought irritated Dagon but he didn't let it show.
Walking for a bit more they came to a stop. "FINALLY, how many hours has it been? My legs were about to fall off!" Rick then walked over to a tree and took a break. "So Dagon, where is the entrance?"
As Rick said this, Dagon took out a phone and began calling someone.
"Hello? Yea we're here, open the gates." After hanging up the area around them morphed and now in front of them was a portal that resembled a black hole.
Seeing the portal Rick became a bit nervous, "We have to go In there? I-I mean seriously?"
Not caring about his complaints Dagon grabbed him and jumped, then Nora followed behind shortly thereafter.

Back inside sphere Uni and Quin were talking about the next steps in his training. "Ok so I know your wondering how you could get stronger with the system. I also know your curious about the princess and how she got her strength, and to that I'll tell you that not everyone has the same methods. Her system, and your system are completely different."
Uni was seated on the floor listening to Quin like a student would a teacher, but he was confused when she said Uni's system was different the princess.
"What exactly do you mean by that? How are they different?"
"That's a great question. The system in your possession is called, The Heavenly Order."
