With the pressing concern of the mysterious threat draining the land's life force, Ethan thought it was time to share the secret. It would make him at ease if he can take them to the dimension and it would be easier to explain things in the future if his companions understood the dimension and the resources at his disposal.
Ethan decided to bring them into the dimension, where they could fully comprehend its significance and where they would be safe if there is any kind of danger. To prepare, he reached out to Aria through telepathy. Aria, can I bring others into the dimension? he asked.
Aria responded promptly. Yes, Ethan, it is possible to bring others into the dimension.
Curious about maintaining the secrecy of the dimension, Ethan asked, How do we ensure they won't reveal the secret to anyone else?
Once anyone enters the dimension, it will create a contract with them, Aria explained. This contract will ensure that they won't be able to share the secret with anyone else. It will affect their thoughts so that they will want to keep the secret and will never want to reveal it to anyone.
Hearing Aria, Ethan got excited. Now he didn't have to keep worrying about their safety; he could simply take them into the dimension.
It wasn't that Ethan didn't trust his companions. He simply wanted to ensure that his secret would never be revealed by anyone in the future.
Feeling reassured, Ethan gathered his trusted companions and led them to the portal. "Everyone, I want you to see something that will put your minds at ease," he said.
As they approached the portal, Ethan spoke with determination. "This portal leads to a place that will make us safe whenever we are in danger. I want you to enter the portal and see for yourselves."
Thomas, Emily, Mary, and Peter exchanged curious glances, then nodded in agreement. They trusted the young master and were eager to understand the true extent of his abilities.
With a sense of anticipation, they stepped through the portal and entered the dimension. Their jaws dropped as they took in the vast and magical realm that unfolded before them. They had never seen anything like this before, and coming from the harsh environment of Blackthorn, they truly enjoyed the scenery.
"This place... it's incredible."
.....
As they were taking in the breathtaking sight, Aria approached them. Seeing her, their reactions were immediate and visceral. They instinctively recoiled, stepping back with wide eyes and expressions of shock. Mary let out a small gasp, while Thomas instinctively moved in front of Emily, trying to shield her. Peter's hand twitched towards his belt, as if reaching for a weapon that wasn't there.
Sensing their fear, Ethan quickly stepped in.
"Everyone, there's no need to be afraid," Ethan reassured them with a calm voice. "This is Aria, the fairy of the dimension. She can never harm you."
Hearing Ethan's explanation, they began to relax. The initial fear subsided, replaced by a sense of curiosity and trust in Ethan's words.
Aria was truly a sight to behold. Her ethereal beauty was captivating, with delicate features that seemed almost otherworldly. She had a radiant glow that emanated from her, her long hair shimmering, her deep sparkling blue eyes.
But it was her wings that truly mesmerized them. They were translucent and shimmering with a soft iridescence, catching and reflecting the light in the most enchanting way. As she moved, the wings fluttered gracefully, giving her an almost angelic presence.
Emily felt a pang of jealousy seeing Aria. She worried that she might lose Ethan to this enchanting fairy. However, she hid her feelings and managed to smile at Aria, who noticed the fleeting emotion but returned the smile warmly.
Aria then introduced herself, her voice soothing and welcoming. "Hello, my name is Aria. Welcome to the dimension.
Mary, still trying to wrap her mind around everything, greeted Aria. "HelloAria, it's incredible that you get to enjoy this place with the young master."
Understanding Mary's curiosity and confusion, Aria took a moment to gather her thoughts before responding. She wanted to explain in a way that would make sense to them all.
Peter, looking around in amazement, added, "It's like a paradise here. I've never seen anything so beautiful."
Aria smiled gently. "The dimension is the result of Ethan's emotions that manifested into this magical realm. Here, the laws of physics are not dependent on the outside world and are quite different, making it a truly magical place. The dimension can produce unlimited water and spiritual energy. The spiritual energy never lessens and does not affect the dimension itself, ensuring a constant supply, and there is unlimited storage available. This realm in many ways defy conventional understanding and reflects the depth and power of Ethan's inner world, where the extraordinary becomes reality."
Ethan then decided it was time to show his companions the full potential of this magical realm. He led them on a tour, starting with the mansion that stood majestically at the center of the dimension.
As they approached, the mansion became even more impressive. It was a perfect blend of elegance and functionality, designed to provide total comfort. Ethan explained how each room had its unique purpose, from the well-stocked library filled with ancient tomes to the modern kitchen equipped with everything they would need.
The library was a particular point of interest. The shelves were lined with books both in their native language and several others they couldn't read. Some of the tomes contained knowledge that was completely unfamiliar to them, filled with concepts and ideas they couldn't comprehend. There were things they could not understand, sparking their curiosity even more. Ethan continued explaining the various aspects of the mansion, avoiding any mention of modern equipment, thinking it would be too much for them to understand.
He then led them to the Spring, its crystal-clear waters shimmering invitingly. Ethan recounted Aria's explanation about the spring's properties, how it could slow down aging and provide unparalleled health benefits. They all took a moment to taste the water, feeling the rejuvenating effects immediately.
As they continued their exploration, they came across a locked barn. Curious, they exchanged glances, wondering about its purpose. Aria noticed their curiosity and explained, "This is the storage room. It has unlimited storage capacity."
Next, they moved to the pasture, where the evolved cattle and chickens roamed freely. The companions were amazed by the golden hues of the animals, the vibrant feathers of the chickens, and the serene atmosphere of the pasture.
Emily and Mary could not help but catch a cute lamb and play with it. Their laughter filled the air as she cradled the lamb, drawing smiles from others. Ethan watched them lovingly, their enchanting laughter capturing his heart.
Ethan then realized that he not only loved Aria and Emily but also Mary. He had never seen her in that light before, but his recent interactions with her made him aware of his feelings. She was Smart young, beautiful, caring, and always brought cheer to those around her.
Leaving them to enjoy their moment in the dimension, Ethan and Aria walked away together, and Aria began to give him a detailed report of the dimension's current status and the progress of their plans.
.....
After some time, they exited the dimension and began preparing for his voyage further north. Ethan knew this journey was crucial. The northern lands held secrets and challenges that could provide insights or solutions to the mysterious threat looming over their home.
Ethan had initially thought he would take his companions with him on the journey. However, their presence was too important in the manor, due to the space's limited capacity he could not set another portal for the manor and only one portal could be opened at this time and it always needed to be connected with Ethan for him to enter the dimension. Even if he wanted to set his portal in the manor, it would not be possible. If they accompanied him, they would be unable to return to the manor and would be stuck with him the entire time. Therefore, Ethan had to undertake this journey alone. His companions, essential to the manor's operations and security, could not be spared for this expedition.
Emily and Mary began organizing the supplies he would need for the journey. They packed provisions, weapons, and tools essential for survival in the harsh northern climate.
As soon as he sent the provisions, tools, and weapons into the dimension, Ethan heard Aria's voice, sounding excited. "Ethan, the space has evolved further and is being upgraded!
Astonished by the news as he hadn't expected any upgrades when he sent the supplies, Ethan asked, "What caused the space to evolve, Aria?"
Aria explaining, her voice brimming with excitement. "The weapons and tools you sent were forged using materials that the space lacked, even though they were common materials. This new addition caused the dimension to evolve and upgrade."
Aria then began informing him about the changes happening to the dimension, her voice brimming with excitement.
However, she was interrupted when Emily, noticing Ethan in a dazed state, approached him with concern. "Young master, are you alright?"
Snapping out of his thoughts, Ethan reassured her, "I'm fine, Emily. Just a bit overwhelmed by the amazing news." He attempted to explain the exciting news he had heard about the dimension's evolution, but they couldn't quite grasp the concept. Instead, they congratulated him, sharing in his enthusiasm in their own way. They were excited, knowing that the more powerful the space became, the more it would enhance their own abilities.
Ethan decided to leave that for now and focus on the tasks at hand. He decided to visit and explore the space later .
Ethan had hoped that with the upgrade, there might be a possibility of opening another portal. He asked Aria if they could open another portal. Aria replied with disappointment in her voice, "I'm sorry, Ethan, but it's not possible yet. The space will need further upgrades before it can support multiple portals." Ethan's excitement was quickly replaced with a forced smile, as he realized the journey would remain difficult.
