The woman sitting on the driver's seat of the carriage saw Aurora and she got down to open the door for her.

"Welcome back Lady and young miss", said the white robed woman, who is actually the other middle stage Stellar ranked subordinate of Aurora, this time a mage one, but not a light affinity one but a lightning affinity one, judging by the laws Daimon could see lingering around her.

Jasmine smiled when she saw the white robed woman as she introduced her to Daimon.

"That is aunt Sylvie, she was my mother's best friend and sworn sister, who took care of me when I was little".

Daimon was a bit curious regarding the death of Jasmine's parents, but he hasn't found the chance to ask Aurora about it.

Aurora greeted the white robed woman back and then everyone got into the carriage, though Shirel was kept hostage in the Citadel, Olivia did accompany him, but she was disguised with clothes of the Light Palace.

Her attribute is lightning and she is an early stage Stellar ranked, so the others just thought that Aurora found a new promising talent for the Light Palace and brought her back.

Before the door of the carriage closed the woman called Sylvie approached Aurora and whispered at her.

"Lady, that black haired woman… is dangerous, do you need me to keep an eye on her?", she said referring to Thea.

Darkness affinity people weren't allowed to come to the main territory of the Light Palace usually, besides the ones brought by the Shaman of course.

It's not that they are hated or something, but the atmosphere here will have a harsh reaction when a strong darkness affinity being released its powers, and Sylvie could tell that the black-haired woman not only was abnormally strong, but there was something strange about her.

"No need, she is an ally from the Maelstrom Sea who came here as an envoy, treat her with the same respect you show me".

Sylvie's eyes glowed for a second and she nodded before she closed the door of the carriage, to start driving towards the royal city.

The landing spot specially created for the Flying Citadel was created at the outskirts of the royal capital also called Twilight City, the reason is that the Citadel caused interference to the anti-aerial barrier of the part of the city ruled by the Black Fortress, it wasn't due to an array but to the unknown alloy of it which was made, so it couldn't be deactivated.

On the way to the city, Daimon observed the landscape though the windows, he expanded his range of vision with the infinity eyes and could see the distribution on the city which was their destination.

Twilight city was the point where the two islands joined, the right half was completely white, having pristine looking building, with a serene inspiring architecture style, the left half on the other hand exuded a warlike sensation, having a more military approach, the predominant color was black too.

It made sense though, though it's not like Aurora was weak in combat, she is a support type mage and the sects she manages focus in the less destructive elements, that are more related to heal, crowd control and defense, the Black Fortress on the other hand manages the battle mages, having an army, assassins and guards.

Each one of the sects had their own roles, which were related to the elements in which they excelled, that was their modus operandi, naturally when they fight a member of each join to form a perfectly balanced team.

That's why Skyfire was originally angry towards Daimon, Jasmine and Cassy who were the best support and crowd control mages in the young generation of the Elemental Sea, should have been in the team representing the Elemental Sea, alongside his son.

But they instead went to the team of an outsider who stole all the glory, it was a disgrace which he was going to report to the Shaman in person, in fact unlike the other patriarchs who left to return to their respective islands to leave their disciples before returning only with their descendants, Skyfire had taken another route through the dark side of the islands and was rushing to meet the Shaman.

eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ Inside of the carriage Olivia took out a mirror plate and after doing the respective rituals to "unseal" it, she sent a message, a couple of seconds later she got a response and then turned to see Daimon.

"The leader of this branch has accepted to see me young master, the reunion will take place at midnight in the secret location of Black Wave… which is in the territory of the Purple Haze sect", she said.

Daimon nodded, after the party, his visit to the treasury, and the errands which Aurora had to do, they will go meet the leader of this branch of Black Wave and then they will leave to the Bone Sea which was the closest of his next destinations.

He had exactly six days until the start of the Global Raid, one to visit each sea, two to go and get the supposed legacy of the hero and one to return, everything was perfectly calculated.

Normally he would have just asked Thea, Aurora and Olivia to go and make this branch of Black Wave submit, but there is a chance that another creature appear, and only he had the capacity to use his black Sea Emblem, his instincts told him that absorbing those black spheres that were the real form of those things, was important and will be useful for him.

…

The travel to the city didn't take that much, since the carriage had the emblem of the Light Palace, no one stood in their way, they also ignored the security point and directly entered the Twilight City.

The carriage then moved towards a white hill which was at the center of the of the city, where a white castle worked as the residence of Aurora, not to mention it was also the point with the best concentration of light mana in the whole Elemental Sea, because that white hill was in fact a mine of light mana crystals

It's worth mentioning that at the other city where the buildings were black colored there was a black hill with a black castle on top of it, both castles were at the same position and at the same height, so they could see the other.

As soon as the carriage entered through the gates of the wall that was surrounding the white hill, Daimon's pupils contracted behind his mask a bit, there was an insane amount of light mana floating in the atmosphere.

'What the hell, using light mana spells will require around less 30% of mana usage within this area, the mine below the hill must have never been exploited then', thought Daimon.

Each force has their own legacies and treasured lands, some are formed on top of mana crystal mines that have never been exploited, like this one, and in rare occasions they have an interesting effect, reducing the costs of spells of their respective element.

Mysteriously, the moment people start exploiting the mines, that effect will be lost forever and no one knows why, so those places are guarded with an order to kill any trespasser on the spot.

He knows it, because both the Revy and Argent clans have one, though he hasn't had the opportunity to train in them, as they can only be visited every ten years, but Erin, Liz, Elaine and Aura had been there to train before.

The Silverheart also had one, so Aisha has gone there too and ironically the Naktis don't have it, so in terms of resources they could be said to be "poor" in comparison, despite the Naktis being technically stronger than the Silverheart.

"We have arrived lady", Sylvie's voice could be heard coming from the front of the carriage.

The door opened and the entrance to the magnificent white castle appeared in front of Daimon and the others.

"Let's go, I'll show you around the castle!", enthusiastically said Jasmine, lately she has been in a better humored, apparently, she had fully overcome the trauma Adam caused her, as a proof of that she has gotten closer to Aisha and the others, and more expressive and friendlier with Daimon, her level of trust also reached 50% in the standards of the system.

Daimon didn't know what were the bases for the assigned percentage, in his opinion Jasmine was already his friend, they had gone through life and death situations, fought together and she even stood out for him when Skyfire was trying to cause him troubles, that percentage probably referred to the resonance her lineage had with his, instead of their personal relationship, since sanctuary originated on the oath between the Drakolevia and whatever which was the daughter of the Northern Sky.

Sylvie guided everyone towards the gate and then opened it for them to enter, there were a few maids formed in two lines who bowed their heads as they greeted them.

"Welcome back Matriarch, young miss and esteemed guests", they said.

Daimon raised an eyebrow, apparently the whole staff of this place were women, and all of them had light affinity too.

"Little Jas you can bring them to the guest room, I have to go see your grandpa while the welcome party is being prepared", said Aurora just to see Jasmine shaking her head.

"They'll stay in my room; it's also been a while since Cassy visited anyway".

Aurora saw the expression on her granddaughter's face and she inwardly sighed.

"Fine, feel free to ask for anything you need from Sylvie, the girls working here are her disciples so you can be at ease", she said as she gazed at Daimon, before her body decomposed into countless white sparkles as she left.

Let alone the maids, even Sylvie's face was frozen in shock when she allowed a man not only make Jasmine company but even stay in her room, one can only imagine what her reaction will be when Jasmine tells her they have been sleeping in beds next to each other for a long time at this point, and Jasmine actually found Daimon's presence easing, since she had nightmares during the first night after being left to die but they magically disappeared after that.

'Young master this place is… to bright', said Rita directly to Daimon's mind from his shadow, making Daimon chuckle, if it wasn't for the fact that he has light affinity, he'll be experiencing the same discomfort as her, since one of his main attributes is darkness.

Surprisingly Thea didn't seem to care, she was just observing the decorations here and there while she drank from a small crystal canteen, she was directly drinking three-colored water and has been doing so for quite some time.

Just when they arrived at the corridor in which Jasmine's room was ubicated, a voice came from the end of the corridor.

"Miss Jasmine, I heard you were returning today so I came her to greet you, but you seem to have some interesting company".

A girl wearing purple clothes came from the corridor that connected the one that basically belonged to Jasmine since her room is that big.

Cassy frowned when she saw the newcomer, she walked out of the group and stood next to Jasmine before saying.

"Who let you enter Sarah?".

The purple clothed woman called Sarah, softly snorted and sparks seemed to fly between her and Cassy.

"My mother had requested an audience with lady Aurora and it was approved, so I tagged along, it's been a while since I saw my two friends after all, why is there a problem?", she said with a playful smile.

Jasmine didn't say anything, she just ignored the girl and opened the door to her room, but Cassy didn't restrain herself.

"Don't pay attention to that poisonous woman, she is the niece of Patriarch Purplecloud and a psycho, who should be caged in a faraway place to then throw the key".

Daimon and the others entered the room, in any case they won't be here for too long, so getting to know someone that most likely won't become their ally is meaningless.

The purple clothed girl didn't seem to mind the weird description Cassy gave of her, she limited to softly laugh until she saw Daimon entering Jasmine's room.

'Oh, so little Jas has started to show interest in boys, I wonder what the reaction of the others will be, how interesting'.

Sarah just left while she happily hummed, it was hard to know what she was thinking, in part that's why Cassy didn't like her, that and because her cousin is one of the guys that has been trying to hit on Jasmine since they were younger.
