Contrary to what Katarina might have believed, it was actually difficult for even Vahn to teleport in and out of Ostia. If not for the spatial anchor he had created during his stay, with permission from Ana, he would have been forced to either tear through space or approach the floating capital city from the outside. Ostia, as the literal …

With the dawn of a new day, Vahn made breakfast for everyone before discussing their next plan of action. They, technically, didn’t have anything else to do in Al Jamila, so, depending on her decision, they would either double back to Zephyria or escort Arika back to Ostia. The war was already in its early stages, and, though it hadn’t …

After several hours of party and dance, with many Al Jamilans falling asleep under the open sky, Vahn was reclining against a carved tree trunk with his arm thrown over Fenrir’s shoulder. Across from him, Eulimene Ea was chugging the contents of a clay pot larger than a watermelon. She was rather fond of brandy and rum, so, as a …

With Arika and Asuna following after Eva soon after the party began, Vahn was left to mingle amongst the Al Jamilans with just Fenrir. She also wasn’t particularly fond of crowded places, but, having spent time amongst the Xenos and members of the Menagerie, it didn’t bother her too much. She would even sit comfortably next to complete strangers, and, …

Unaware of the fact he had a hot-blooded hero on his ‘tail’, Vahn was hanging out on the deck of the Custos Rosea with Fenrir and Asuna. They were keeping an eye out for any roaming bands of Sky Pirates, but, due to the importance of Al Jamila to the entire Magical World, the security in the region was inordinately …

With permission from Asha, Vahn escorted Arika back to the Custos Rosea so that she could bring it closer to the base of Yggdrillia. Then, over the course of three days, they transplanted nearly three-hundred thousand trees into the Diorama before Vahn burned down the rest of the forest. This had drawn the attention of numerous third parties, but, after …

After more than an hour of awkward greetings, Vahn was finally guided to the base of Yggdrillia by all seven of the High Elves that governed Elfenhof. They weren’t necessarily the most senior of their species, but, as even the weakest among them was contracted to a High Elemental Spirit, they were, by a wide margin, the most powerful members …

As it was exceptionally rare to have visitors within Elfenhof, the presence of Vahn’s group stood out like an artificial sun shining in the evening sky. It was a fearful and confusing event that caused the older Elves to quickly secure the younger generation in a complex network of underground tunnels while the few warriors and mages among their population …

Though they had arrived on a mission of peace, Vahn had Arika moor the Custos Rosea a few kilometers outside the Forest of Penance. It wouldn’t take much effort for him to charge into the heart of Elven territory, but, as a gesture of goodwill, he decided to approach from the front. He also wanted to inspect the infamous forest …

As it wasn’t his first time seeing something similar, Vahn wasn’t too surprised by the existence of a tree more than three-hundred meters in height. It was unquestionably awe-inspiring, but, after planting a few World Trees and seeing a planet whose core was one massive root system, giant flora didn’t have much of an impact. A stark contrast to Vahn’s …
