-Everyone looks at Celes and me.
What? Stupid idiots, I will not start to reveal the mysteries of existence to you here and now. You guys will forget it anyway when you die, so where is the point?
“Don't look at us like that. The perverted goddess just showed up to our ceremony to turn around the priests head. She just gave us a stupid smile and disappeared again.”, Celes gives the official explanation.
“Hoh? But shortly after this, the diplomatic exchange between Tirna and Stricc increased to another level and a year later the joining of the leading houses was announced. How do you explain that.” -Samarin
“When I met my cute, little Celes, I just knew that she is my future, hahahaha“
“He was so bold, even though we just met! It was like my pure sight had stabbed his heart!”
Bitch! You stabbed me for real!
“Anyway I fear we know nothing more than you”, I evade.
“Well. I still expect great things from you. To continue on Stephen, it were those talks with the goddess, which led us to this conclusion.” -Samarin
“I have another question! What do you know about levitation! Tell me all you know!” -Margerie
With that a painful conversation between Samarin and Margerie began. I don't even bother to listen any more. It's all well known stuff to me anyway. Stephen still looks at us like we could be the key to some of his questions. I don't like it.
Celes seems to be bored too and starts scribbling in her notebook. I try to steal a look but she slams it shut before I see anything.
“It is bad taste to spy on a woman.” - Celes
“I didn't think of it as spying?” -Me
“Why don't you give them the answer to their question, stupid hermit. I am not into this stuff, but if they follow their current train of thoughts the cute Margerie will be old and grey before her wish comes true.”, Celes bitches at me.
“I am not a fountain of knowledge for charity cases, you know? I want something for my marvellous help too.”, I answer.

“I know that this is nothing more than one plus one for you, so send my friend Margerie on the right track for now! If you do it, I will owe you one. In any case, I have to talk to you about something after school, stupid hermit.”, Celes starts scribbling again.
“Can you explain to me what you are talking about?”, Stephen butts in.
“Nothing in particular, just be glad that the great me will offer you my assistance!” -Me
Having the witch owe me one can't be something bad.... I hope? I stand up from my chair and walk to the chalkboard, where Samarin and Margerie have already written many formulas and a design for a magic device. It uses a cushion of air to hold itself up. A nice idea, but not really a good solution.
A steady stream of air like in a hovercraft would be necessary. And the magic circuit you need to construct for this isn't much different from the one you would need to levitate something directly.
Margerie seeks something that eases the strain on the resources of this world. Everything comes down to rare Earth elements, which you need to construct a magic device. Stuff like Yttrium, Scandium and so on are unfortunately extremely rare on most planets.
You need those materials in an almost pure form and that is the problem.
So if we use a magic circuit, it has to be a very small one, the rest has to be pure science. Hmmm. I walk to the unused part of the board and scribble down a simple small circuit to control the temperature.
A plain cooling system, given enough time, it should suffice to reach the needed temperatures. Yeah, like that you just need a tenth of the elements you would need for a direct levitation circuit, which would have to span the entire object we wish to levitate.
Then I give a small introduction to Superconductivity. Some materials of that category need rare Earth elements too, but you just need them in a highly dilluted form compared to a pure form.
The funny part is that this will work with some completely common materials like aluminum or lead too. I didn't invent this stuff on my own out of nowhere. Some of my previous worlds used machines like that.

Maybe i will give them a little prototype design to connect the dots. Like that hmhmlala. Oh this feels like my old times as a teacher, just without stupid students to interrupt every few seconds. Oh, how i hate those.
At this moment I hear the bell, which ends the lesson. Damn i wasn't completely done, anyway – Margerie should be smart enough to correct the bugs in the design.
I turn around and Margerie, Samarin and Stephen look at the board like it would be the holy grail with open mouths. Sven looks at the board, like it would be a pretty picture. Yes, that’s the look of a student, who doesn't get my divine greatness!
“Piece of cake, don't bother me with the details! I hate those!”, I turn to leave the classroom and Celes follows after me.
Celes is still writing in her notebook and didn't care about my ingenious solution of the problem.
“So care to explain to me, why I have to help them in this matter?”, I ask Celes while we walk to the next class. “It is a plan to save this world! Isn't it obvious!”, Celes answers.
“Yes, but I could have made a fortune with this. Why should I give it to someone else? If you hadn't said you would owe me, I never would have done this!” -Me
“That's the problem stupid hermit! You are already in the highest possible position and you still just think about grabbing more more more. That has always been your problem! What do you need money for, if you are the heir of the king?” -Celes
“Sometimes I ask myself how people like you ever became gods. It is not logical to rise that high without the motivation to grab every bit of power you can get.” -Me
I sigh again. The rest of the way, we walk in silence and during the other lessons we don't talk much either. Celes is too occupied with her notebook and as the remaining classes were just stupid introductions, no teacher bothered with her.
Well I hope the witch doesn't have something troublesome in mind. She is at it for half a day now, I am sure this spells a bad future for me.
I could break off my horns and run away to live my life as a normal civilian? Ah! But there are those eyes too, I would have to gorge them out too. No good! And magic to change your appearance is hard to hold up.
Aaah, I guess I have to wait and see.
As we stand at the schools gates a luxurious car stops and Rose gets out. “Did you two have a nice day?”, she asks smiling.
“It wasn't so bad, I took care of a nuisance and made some plans.” -Celes
“In the forenoon I got beaten up and in the afternoon I gave away something precious.” -Me
“Oh my little lord is very generous!”, Rose opens the car door for us and we get in.
During the trip home Celes is still scribbling. Haaaah......
***
We had dinner with our parents and now I am inside the study room, reading a book. I think this day may come to a good end. Celes seems to be too occupied with whatever she has in mind. The longer she is off my turf the better.
*BAM*
The door flies open and Celes storms inside. She spots me and slams the door shut.
*Klick*
Did she just LOCK the fucking DOOR?
She comes in front of me, with her ominous notebook in Hands.
“I want to confess!”
“WHAT?”
“I want to save the world.”
“Pardon me?”
“We are stuck with each other, so I have made up my mind.”
“hah?”
“I want us to make peace, stupid hermit!”
“Ehm...”
“I don't want to live a life full of stress, so be grateful I consider this!”
“Yes?”
“I have made plans!”
“Plans?”
“Here, I have planned it all! Our whole life together and the future of the world.”
“Together?”
“I know, we still have to work on our relationship, but we will be stuck at the current state forever if we don't act, so I will take the first step that's needed for the future.”
“Future?”
“If you don't make plans for the future, you can't have children isn't that obvious! Stop answering with single words stupid hermit, did you bang your head somewhere?”
“?!CHILDREN!?”

When the Void wakes once more the Realm questions if the first war was ever really won…and if they might be saved again. Raegn is left searching for purpose and must navigate through a world teetering on the brink of extinction. Dire times create the greatest heroes, but tales that stand the test of time are written twice - in blood before ink.Divinity is a fantasy series about Raegn Edelgard, a young man who must make his way through a world that is struggling to realize it is, for the second time in its history, teetering on the brink of extinction.

Path of the Stonebreaker
Femira spent her life stealing scraps and looting corpses just to survive another day. When she stumbles upon the chance to steal another's identity, she thinks she's found the ticket to an easy life. But she soon finds the glamour of the runewielder's hall hides as much peril as the bloodslick streets. Can she steal the greatest prize of all, the knowledge to reshape the earth, and make it out alive? Abandoned by his abusive father at the far reaches of the world, Daegan may not have the powers of his ancestors but he refuses to die in banishment. Will he make it back home in time to prevent a brewing war? ------------------- This is a gritty drama-driven, rambling tale that presents mysteries early on that the characters work to unravel throughout the story. It swings between action, drama, and sometimes some darker comedy. Warning: A whole lot of profanity, alcohol, drugs, implied violence, actual violence and mega-violence—the kind that involves knives sliding into eye sockets and brains spilling onto floors—the usual stuff, scenes of intimacy, mercenaries, pirates, lots of moral ambiguity, including a wizard that likes to make tea with the heat sucked from his victim's bodies and a heap of world-ending monsters ready to eat people. _______________ Expectations: Updates every Monday and Thursday. Chapters will be between 2,000 and 5,000 words. I'm Irish and write in "Irish English" which is to say that I don't use much of the letter "z"
