Ahmed smiled to himself as he swept his gaze over his gains, he was about to leave when...
[The Initial Claim has been made, the bind has begun.] A monotone voice echoed within the darkness.
The Darkness was suddenly repelled and replaced by a vast blue sky that touched the vast green plains at the horizons.
Above him a singular sphere of gold-yellow light shone with tamed vigor spreading light all over the expanse.
At the furthest point of the horizon, the land, ocean and sky met and convened, masses of water snaked through the plains and into tall mountain, with snowy peaks.
To put it bluntly, Ahmed found himself in a natural paradise, one untouched by intelligent life, but also devoid of life, the only saving grace was the abundance of flora and fauna.
"This..."
[This is a Spatial Device capable of hosting, nurturing and supporting life, this is the greatest artifact a Crafter can ever hope to craft, this is one of the Pinnacle of Crafts.] The Monotone Voice spoke once more.
[This Space is tethered to your Imprint, from today till the day you die this Space shall be yours.
This is however not for free, within a 1000 years you are to elevate this space to its peak, failure to do so will result in the premature severing of the connection between you and this space.
That is the will of this spaces creator, even if fate and destiny comes to a stand still, even if Order and Chaos are overturned this shall not change.] The voice spoke once more before finally falling into an endless silence.
"Calypso." Ahmed called out after a minute of silence, this was a lot to process and he really needed an ear.
To his dismay however Calypso didn't answer, he remained alone above the skies looking down on his now new paradise.
"How the hell am I getting out?" He grumbled.
[Simply will it and it shall be.]
A text hovered before his eyes for a full minute before fading away.
"Can you explain this situation?"
[No, that's for you to discover. I'm mearly a blob of data tasked to answer some things not all.]
Ahmed sighed as he willed himself out of the space, he would deal with it at a later time, it wasn't a priority of his at the moment.
With an indiscernible flash Ahmed vanished from the space and reappeared back at the foot of the Fae tree.
He rubbed his temples frowning, he could almost smell trouble coming his way and it was in some way linked with his new gains.
"I'll cross that bridge when I get there, right now I'll just focus on what I need to do, I'll first finish my part of the objective then complete my awakening and join the academy, outside these three things nothing else should matter within this years time frame." He resolved unaware of the storm that was brewing.

[Lantana, what gave you the gull to etch your claws into one of mine.] Calypso seethed despite not physically appearing her rage was palpable, Faes being sensitive to emotions felt this at heightened degrees.
"I don't know what your talking about Calypso." The Fae Queen replied unaffected by the waves of rage.
[Is that so, so your telling me he just so happens to have the Fay Lords Stone on him by accident? Don't fuck with me!] Calypso who was almost snapping had the space cracking.
"Calm yourself Fallen Nymph, as much as your an overseer I am A QUEEN AND THIS IS MY DOMAIN SO BACK OFF!" The fae queen demanded as her aura bloomed and strengthened her Domain.
[Good, good, good, so that's how you want to play, fine then I'll play along.] Calypso cackled in seething rage as the Fae Domain was cracked in half.
"By my name I proclaim, the haven of wanderers, the mistress of the lost, the solace of heroes and hearth of demigods." Her voice echoed no linger bound by the laws the trial island.
Her physical body manifested as she slowly walked into existence with slow measured steps, every step she took her aura and pressure increased by several folds so much sore that reality seemed to churn.
"By my name I proclaim, sovereignty of lingering bonds and threads of power. I announce my call, my word and my veil to a champion to bear my name."
She continued as he body became more and more solid, this was however something that wasn't supposed to be happening, spectral chains begun rise in attempt to intercept the nymph but they were unable to even enter the space where her aura touched.
"It has begun." A voice that was one and many whispered.
"It was always meant to begin." The Voice of one and many whispered once more.
"It's always interest." The voice of one and many whispered.
"Its always hate, its always emotion, its always love." The voice of one and many whispered.
"BY MY NAME I CLAIM A CHAMPION, I CLAIM A CANDIDATE, I OFFER MY VEIL, I PLEDGE MY GUIDANCE, I PLEAD FOE RETRIBUTION, I SAY MY VOW, AN EYE FOR AN EYE, A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH, BLOOD FOR BLOOD, SOUL FOR SOUL, DEATH FOR DEATH.
BE WARNED ALL THAT SCHEME, ALL THAT PLOT FOR MY HERALD HAS BEEN APPOINTED."
Her voice bellowed with power as the very laws of reality seemed to resonate with her.
"You would go so far for a boy, you've just met! A boy who you've known for less than a few months! A boy who can't even fathom what you are!" The Fae Queen spat in rage.
"What I see and what you see are very different Lantana, you see a boy naive and wet behind the ears, you see a greenhorn who is mearly a pawn to aid your goals.
I see freedom, I see solace, I see warmth, I see my future, I see redemption and I'll be damned to let him fall just because you chose the wrong side of the war!" Calypso roared as the Fae Domain collapsed in on itself, the lives and deaths of those within were unknown.
Only a lonely beauty remained standing in the void of space, her thoughts were her own, despite the smile on her face, tears of blood streaked down as she was impaled by numerous chains.
She stared blankly into the dark void of space and muttered to herself in a forlorn torn, "it has begun, the veil shall fall wether Fate, Order, Destiny or Chaos like it or not, it has begun, by my will, it has."
